Eh, that’s what they called it in the article and I’m neither a physicist nor a material scientist. They made a definite distinction between the two forms of the materials in this and other articles related to the topic which I was too topic-uninformed to understand. So you might be right :D

Afaik they just discovered that Ice has a layer of water ("pre-melted ice) at the surface, which is the lubricant that makes ice slippery. So, imo ice is wet ^^

I really want to give you an updoot, but… could you please cite sources?

As for android games, if you’re into tower defense, give infinitode a try :)

If you’re asking where stuff /could/ come from, why couldn’t we just build renewables. For Germany at least, the ship has sailed anyways. It is not currently legislatively and practically possible to build out the required energy infrastructure with nuclear to phase out gas in a timeframe that makes sense. With the beaureaucracy and everything, it’ll be at least a decade before even the first power plant would be connected to the grid.

Soooo… Where do the fuel rods for european nuclear power plants come from?

Germany was better prepared. The plan was to use natural gas. Which was cheaply supplied by Russia. Who woulda thunk that relying on mining operations in despotic countries could be such a bad decision? Goes for Gas as well as Uranium…

What are these shows? :)

Sorry, I re-read the article and the original announcement by the EU travel authority. Neither makes mention of Schengen, which is what got me confused. The ETIAS site does explicitly list the Schengen countries along with the EU one. And not Ireland. They probably vetoed something and got excluded or something :D

Thos article is about the EU, not sure what Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein am Norway do in that list…
