  • To add: If you cancel a contract that was 80% finished then that is not a saving. It means you likely wasted 80%.

    It really feels like penny wise, pound foolish. Only focusing on what's paid out and thought about the benefit.

    Though the simplistic approach is likely intentional.

  • Considering the cable was likely cut by just dragging the anchor over the seafloor, there's not much to find.

    Dropping an anchor isn't done accidentally. There's a pretty high risk for things to go wrong. Your assertion just doesn't make sense. It isn't "perfectly plausible" to drop anchor accidentally, nor is it to drag it for ages.

  • Ah, indeed:

    Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers do more and move faster.

    Sounds like bs to me, comes across as marketing talk to promote their AI offerings.

  • it gives a false sense of cleanliness and makes people not wash their hands as often as they should.

    To expand in that. If someone wears gloves and touches e.g. raw chicken and then something else it'll contaminate it and anything they'll touch afterwards.

    People asking for gloves are usually misguided. As said, due to gloves they'll not charge gloves or wash when needed. And that's pretty often.

    Strangely there's some huge craziness where there's loads of comments that ask for gloves and think it'll improve hygiene. While to me gloves indicate a poor hygiene understanding.

  • In Rotterdam (Netherlands) they're replacing the sewage system. People get a letter that they're responsible for the bit on their ground. In practice the city also handled the line to the house.

    I don't understand why in your area they'd not take care of that bit. With everything mostly open it should be much easier anyway.

    That the city doesn't promise anything is likely for things like liability and unique/expensive exceptions. But not doing that in practice, so strange.

  • Why do you assume the West? China often expands to other Asian countries. Or pretend to. E.g. after tariffs are applied to China you'll often see a huge increase in intra Asia trade. Followed by different Asian countries heavily increasing their exports. Usually by hiding the true origin (tariffs are applied to the origin, not some transhipment place).

  • Heat pump installation doesn't have to be expensive through it is. Try looking up what it'll cost you in Spain to install a split level airco that can handle heating as well. That's an air/air heat pump. Or check what it'll cost you to just buy the airco/heat pump. Then compare that to your country. There can be crazy differences in what they charge you.

    Subsidies, the installers will know about it, they can just charge more.

    No idea of a solution. But do know people are paying way more than they should.

  • The ag lobby told him there's an ocean of fresh water

    I'd say that he just says whatever. If it'll get him more popular and/or more money then there's no need to figure out if he actually believes something or not. It usually is self serving in some way, truth doesn't matter.
