    the official Telegram channel of the President of Ukraine reports

    https://t.me/V_Zelenskiy_official/13734

    Провів зустріч із міністеркою закордонних справ Німеччини Анналеною Бербок. Обговорили продовження підтримки нашої держави, наближення достойного миру та напрацювання форматів гарантій безпеки.

    Німеччина є лідером у Європі за обсягом наданої нам допомоги. Це фінанси, зброя, зміцнення нашої протиповітряної оборони: шість систем IRIS-T, три системи Patriot, а також зенітні установки Gepard. Уся ця допомога врятувала тисячі життів. Вдячні Бундестагу за схвалення рішення надати Україні додаткові 3 млрд євро. Загалом цього року німецька підтримка становитиме 7 млрд євро.

    Дякуємо за те, що німецька підтримка залишається для України непохитною та стабільною. Вдячні Німеччині, уряду та всьому німецькому народові за значну допомогу.













  • You are absolutely right, I should think about Muslims in other places, for example Dubai with a Muslim population of 75%, as we know Islam places a strong emphasis on the balance of nature:

    “‘You Can Smell Petrol in the Air’: UAE Fossil Fuels Feed Toxic Pollution” documents alarmingly high air pollution levels in the UAE, which create major health risks for its citizens and residents and contribute to the global climate crisis. The UAE is one of the world’s largest oil producers and home to seven so-called “carbon bombs,” the world’s largest fossil fuel production projects. Air pollution and climate change are directly linked, as the burning of fossil fuels contributes to air pollution and drives climate change.

    Oh… well lets look somewhere else, maybe Karachi, Pakistan, with a 97% Muslim population seen here with a massive garbage problem and is among five most polluted cities in the world!

    From this we can deduce that if “This perspective is woven throughout the Qur’an” then Muslims don’t give a shit about the Qur’an or this dude is just latching onto the environment in a lame attempt to to promote Islam


  • Sure, it’s a big tent, if all you want is the “solar” part and not the “punk” part you can participate in that half 😆

    Ty ❤️

    But the “punk” in solarpunk refers to left anarchist politics and rebellion against the capitalist economic machine, and has ever since the term was invented

    Yeah TIL 😅 I really have no desire for anarchy, especially when I live an incredibly comfortable life here in Australia

    The punk comes from DIY attitude. Build-your-own-robot.

    I do a lot of self hosting and I do like DIY so that parts true

    My initial association was with Steampunk and its imagery and like the opposite of blade runner visually, this sort of style:

    or maybe its been a lifelong fascination since building one of these bad boys in Sim City 2000:

    Without the punk, you just have techno optimism, e.g. the Picards on their vinyard without a care in the world because the Federation can provide all their needs without effort, probably with fusion power or something even more fantastic.

    That’s true, I did think the other day that if fusion comes along we can bin pretty much all renewables as they’ll be considered more wasteful than fusion, but I quite like that I generate enough power from my solar to power my own home and car… but at the same time I’m here for the planet first, independence from the grid second… I’m gonna leave that, that’s a future conundrum I can have when we get to it
