On: Garibaldi, history's sexiest revolutionary?

[timterim]

‘Garibaldi’ is the German word for pressure cooker!

[toyg → timterim]

Considering how he was a thorn in the side for Austrians, the pun is almost apt.

[golem14 → timterim]

? It is? Which part of Germany?

[zoltanse → golem14]

None. That’s a bad pun.

[rkomorn → zoltanse]

I love bad puns but this one escapes me. Help?

[CharlesHorsey → rkomorn]

Garen means cook, bald means soon, I guess a pressure cooker cooks your food quickly (soon)?

[hodgesrm → CharlesHorsey]

Oog. It’s puns like this that make people doubt freedom of speech.

[rkomorn → CharlesHorsey]

Nothing bad about this pun then.

Edit: and thank you, of course. :)

[golem14 → CharlesHorsey]

Ouch!

It's a biscuit in the UK!

And a drummer here in the States!

On: 'We take for granted we are going to replace fossil fuels with 100% renewable'

[timterim]

Even the within article istself he is not coherent in his logic - oil production is going down due to reduced demand, not because it is scarce. That wind is too expensive is also simply not true - it’s cost per kWh is also constantly decreasing. The picture of a washing machine bike representing the future of Europe smells a lot like it was cooked up in Russian disinfo mills. Not a good look, El Pais.

On: Noyb files GDPR complaint against Meta over "Pay or Okay"

[timterim]

GDPR does not allow discrimination against users who do not want to be tracked and you have the right not to be tracked. Wether the workaround ,that makes €10 then‘ is viable has not yet been tested in the courts. General assumption is that it is not. This would result in facebook to either allow non-sanctioned opt-out or pull out of the EU.
