Yes they can, hence why this unabashed vitriol is clearly just Lemmy group think.
Because while you may not agree with the fact he is closely associated with the Republicans. He did get a Nobel Peace Prize.
And while I never praised the man, the fact I called out people for bandwagoning, only for the responses to be more bandwagoning and the attempt to frame what I posted as support for the man clearly shows the level of blind indoctrination of “this bad, this good” group think going on here.
Also he was a staunch anti communist. Probably the real reason for the outpouring of hatred.
And that is my point. Show me in my post where I praised the man?
I didn’t. I called out you lot for bandwagoning and group think. and you clearly are.
Because now you are making claims about my post which clearly do not exist.
I clearly directed this to the flood of “ding dong the wicked witch is dead” posters who know nothing about his achievements or what was LEVELLED AGAINST HIM BY IS CRITICS.
I clearly stated that he had critics. But you lot only saw that I was not jumping on the bash him bandwagon and then concluded that I’m a supporter because it went against status quo. That is the fucking definition of group think.
Personally I am not a fan of his politics or him as a person.
But for fuck sake, you lot are acting like he was the devil.
I’ll assume you are unfamiliar with the size of Singapore and the geography of the Northern Territory.
Singapore lacks the space for pumped storage. Singapore’s density is 8592 per square kilometre. Compare this to India at only 481 or the US at 37.
The Northern Territory in Australia is extremely flat and extremely arid, as such it lacks the topography to build water storage and the water required for it.
That’s possible. You will still need to have the generation somewhere, and if you are going solar then the Northern Territory is an ideal location as it has very little rain and abundance of sunshine.
I’m not suggesting your idea is invalidated by the example I give. I’m simply pointing out that in this example, transoceanic electrical transmission isn’t a bad idea.
When all things are considered in this specific example. The infrastructure cost is outweighed by the impracticality of Singapore generating solar energy.
I only despise academia for their insistence to gauge value on the number of published papers. Not because I needed my thesis to be published before obtaining my PhD.
My thesis had more value than the next 7 papers I published before I left academia.
That comment says more about you than it does about the origins of the word barbarian.
The word barbarian has its earliest known origin in ancient Greece and was used to refer to anyone who wasn’t Greek, and sometimes for other Greeks, who were “different”.
So who do YOU think the “ethnic group” this word refers to is?
A good deal of IT work, too (lemmy.world)

What are some promising solutions to solar power's lack of night time availability? Is "transoceanic power transportation" on the list?
EDIT: Submarine power transportation is indeed on the list...

Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?
“it do be like that sometimes” is starting to lose it’s magic a little
Bets on the next one? (startrek.website)
