My friend's brother almost fell victim to this cult. If he's anything to go by most members will be vulnerable idiots.

Nuclear is statistically the safest form of energy, so I have zero faith in his objectivity.

It specifically cites Brazil as an example, that involved a complete block of the website.

write their newspapers that they would cancel their subscriptions if the articles quoted ... tweets.

Given the former and future president of the USA's habit of announcing policies there, that seems unworkable.

As much as I dislike Musk, expansion of the great firewall of Europe seems like a bad idea.

I'm not anti-ai, but all signs point to the who thing stagnating, I don't see what mozilla could contribute in the current climate.

Another way to help: If you have an idea that someone could possibly patent, no matter how stupid you think it is, you can publish a defensive technical disclosure on tdcommons for free https://www.tdcommons.org/

Not the best example, the health risks from radium dials were mostly to the people that painted them, because they licked their brushes to point them.

Earlier this year, Germany's environment ministry suggested there should be stricter limits on importing trophies from hunting animals.

Botswana's President Mokgweetsi Masisi told German media this would only impoverish people in his country.

He said elephant numbers had exploded as a result of conservation efforts, and hunting helped keep them in check.

Germans should "live together with the animals, in the way you are trying to tell us to", Mr Masisi told German newspaper Bild. "This is no joke."

Botswana is home to about a third of the world's elephant population - over 130,000 - more than it has space for.

Herds were causing damage to property, eating crops and trampling residents, Mr Masisi said.

Botswana has previously given 8,000 elephants to neighbouring Angola, and has offered hundreds more to Mozambique, as a means of bringing the population down.

"We would like to offer such a gift to Germany," Mr Masisi said, adding that he would not take no for an answer.

Botswana's Wildlife Minister Dumezweni Mthimkhulu last month threatened to send 10,000 elephants to London's Hyde Park so British people could "have a taste of living alongside" them.

In March, UK MPs voted to support a ban on importing hunting trophies, but the legislation has further scrutiny to pass before becoming law.
