Russia was then considered to be a reliable energy partner; warnings to the contrary from Poland and the United States were dismissed. [07:45] IsambardPrince When Russia discontinued the flow, prices in Germany skyrocketed for gas and for electricity generated from gas, both key costs for energy-intensive industries such as steel, fertilizer, chemicals and glass. Germany had to turn to liquefied natural gas, or LNG, super-cooled and imported by ship from Qatar and the U.S. LNG costs more than pipeline gas. [07:45] IsambardPrince Electricity now costs industrial users in Germany an average of 20.3 euro cents per kilowatt hour, according to a study the research firm Prognos AG prepared for the Bavarian Industry Association. In the U.S. and China, where many competitors of German companies are located, the cost is the equivalent of 8.4 euro cents." [07:45] IsambardPrince Cheaper to build things here. Largely from self-inflicted wounds in Germany. [07:45] IsambardPrince Energy would be even cheaper in the US without the Green Energy Scams.

[21:02] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], From a Microsoft email address, not a .gov [21:03] IsambardPrince My, that's very Hillary's E-Mail server of them. I wonder what they're hiding from NARA.

That's intentional. https://stallman.org/talks.html [21:03] TR Bot Talks - Richard Stallman [21:04] TR News "DeVault penned an investigative report titled "The Stallman Report", targeting Richard Stallman, head of the Free Software Foundation. The report, of which he intended to remain the anonymous author, was revealed to be published by DeVault due to his hosting of stallman-report.org on the same IP address as drewdevault.com." https://dmpwn.info/ [21:04] TR Bot The DeVault report [21:04] IsambardPrince Charles Spitzer-Stadtlander posted on LinkedIn that he was fired just after midnight Saturday, days after he started getting harassing messages on Facebook. [21:04] IsambardPrince "The official DOGE Facebook page started harassing me on my personal Facebook account after I criticized Tesla and Twitter," Spitzer-Stadtlander wrote. "Less than a week later, I was fired, despite my position allegedly being exempted due to national security." [21:04] IsambardPrince He added: "When DOGE fired me, they turned off my computer and wiped all of my files without warning." [21:04] IsambardPrince Spitzer-Stadtlander said he was supposed to be exempted from the probationary firings because the FAA office he worked in focused on national security threats such as attacks on the national airspace by drones. [21:04] IsambardPrince The Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The firings were first reported by CNN. [21:05] schestowitz[TR2] biab, running outdoors [21:05] IsambardPrince So the Trump administration is sending death threats to their critics on Facebook, then getting them fired, apparently. [21:06] *agentcasey_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [21:06] IsambardPrince Don't have a Facebook. Really, if you're an American, don't. Last time Trump was in office, he released a flurry of regulations about scraping Facebook pages to flush out "his enemies" and punish them. [21:07] IsambardPrince Not the board is stacked with Trump cronies so they'll jsut hand him all of this whether your page is set to private or not, whether they have a warrant or not. [21:07] *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@b6dc92btrdtrn.irc) has joined #techrights [21:16] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], According to CNN, a plane crash is now a "plane landing incident".

[21:21] IsambardPrince MinceR, Trump's Metro Cops, the DHS people. There's no reason to even specify which agency they're with because they're all the same thing now. [21:21] IsambardPrince The video game and reality merged as far as this goes. [21:22] IsambardPrince We didn't even need an alien invasion from another dimension. [21:23] IsambardPrince He has them all working on deportations, so the good news is that the people in my mom's ex-husband's family are in no danger from the feds with all their drugs and guns. [21:24] IsambardPrince Only whatever the country bumpkin police in Indiana notice. [21:24] MinceR :> [21:24] IsambardPrince Trump says he wants less fentanyl, but when all the federal police do are deportations, there will obviously be more fentanyl. [21:25] IsambardPrince Because nobody is there to look for fentanyl. [21:25] IsambardPrince Maybe we'll go full on Russia and they'll move on to krokodil, which has gasoline in it and makes your skin rot and fall off. [21:26] IsambardPrince Indiana is a state full of degenerates and losers who will inject, snort, or smoke almost anything. [21:26] IsambardPrince I mean, you hand it to them, they'll use it. They're a rather filthy bunch. [21:27] IsambardPrince Every State's got some but I don't know of a place in Illinois where the barber shop has to have narcan because there's 100 people in the village and they had three overdoses last week because they live in a place where the only thing to do is inject fentanyl and watch clouds. [21:28] IsambardPrince Maybe downstate, because it's more or less Indiana down there anyway. [21:33] IsambardPrince President Donald Trumps border czar, Tom Homan, on Monday touted what he said is a record low number of border encounters in the last 24 hours and said he will not be satisfied until we eradicate every criminal migrant. [21:33] IsambardPrince "Last count we got almost 600,000 illegal aliens in the United States with a criminal conviction, so I wont be happy until we eradicate every one of those, he told Fox News in an interview." [21:34] IsambardPrince MinceR, Eradicate? [21:34] MinceR EXTERMINATE! [21:35] IsambardPrince "A failure of the system that delivers mandatory pilot safety alerts temporarily failed earlier this month, forcing the agency to revert to a backup system." -CNN [21:35] IsambardPrince A failure of the system failed. [21:35] IsambardPrince Wow, that's getting bad I guess. [21:35] MinceR :> [21:36] IsambardPrince Does this mean that the plane crash was a success? [21:36] MinceR https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/918/810/a22.jpg [21:36] IsambardPrince "Ukraine doesn't want security guarantees "on paper" but rather in skies and on the ground, Zelensky says" [21:37] IsambardPrince Well, can you blame him? The last time the US, UK, and Russia got in a room and guaranteed Ukraine something, they ended up losing half their country to Russia after giving Russia its nukes back. [21:37] IsambardPrince Which wouldn't have happened if they had kept the nukes. [21:38] IsambardPrince Trump can't decide if he wants to give Ukraine to Russia or extort Ukraine out of all of its minerals. So the plot to give it to Russia may be leverage for extortion. [21:38] IsambardPrince Or he may really want to give it to Russia. [21:39] IsambardPrince " Trump can't decide if he wants to give Ukraine to Russia or extort Ukraine out of all of its minerals. So the plot to give it to Russia may be leverage for extortion. [21:39] IsambardPrince Or he may really want to give it to Russia." [21:39] IsambardPrince Oops.

[21:41] IsambardPrince Russia is paying people lots of Rubles to sign up even knowing they'll be given two weeks of training and sent to die in a wave attack. [21:41] IsambardPrince What good is money if you're dead? [21:41] IsambardPrince Naturally, the offer is taken by the poorest parts of Russia, sort of like in the US. [21:42] MinceR maybe felon musk will decide it for him [21:42] IsambardPrince The US recruits from the poorest slums of the inner cities, and red states. ● Feb 17 [22:34] psydruid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRGEinpnnPk [22:34] TR Bot https://not-ytb.blocus.ch/watch?v=wRGEinpnnPk [22:34] TR Bot not resolve host: not-ytb.blocus.ch ( status 0 @ https://not-ytb.blocus.ch/watch?v=wRGEinpnnPk ) ● Feb 17 [23:04] admfubar https://petapixel.com/2025/02/14/western-digital-and-sandisk-separate-into-independent-companies-again/ [23:04] TR Bot Digital and SanDisk Separate Into Independent Companies (Again) | PetaPixel [23:12] MinceR merging them was worth all the hassle, then [23:17] admfubar https://petapixel.com/2025/02/14/iconic-pale-blue-dot-photo-most-distant-portrait-of-earth-turns-35/ [23:17] TR Bot 'Pale Blue Dot' Photo, Most Distant Portrait of Earth, Turns 35 | PetaPixel [23:21] admfubar https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43073836 [23:21] TR Bot YouTube asks channel owner to verify phone, permanently overwrites personal info | Hacker News [23:51] IsambardPrince "The aircraft is upside down and burning: Helicopter pilot describes scene after Toronto runway crash" [23:51] IsambardPrince plane landing incident [23:55] IsambardPrince MinceR, The "CDC" just called apparently.
