Can you explain why and how? Do you imagine other (better?) batteries, or the disappearance of the need for batteries?

Show people that the left and center are able to provide

I wonder if they can, with the reversed population pyramid most EU countries experience.

In the early 90s something similar happened in Belgium (1).

What lessened the extremism in the following couple of elections was investment (in infrastructure, healthcare, economic opportunities, etc) outside of the cities as well.

It turned out that for every tax frank gathered, 80 cents were spend on prettifying the larger cities and the major port. People were mostly (rightly?) pissed off that government represented a terrible ROI for the same group of people for decades. They would've been better of without a federal government. They saw their lives get worse, whilst at the same time that government applauded themselves for the great things they achieved.

I'm not sure how feasible the same solution is today, as there's very little investment budget anyways. Most of tax revenue goes to pensions and healthcare of a reversed population pyramid.

Plants that repel mosquitos? (mander.xyz)
 

I've got a small off grid place near a pond. The pond is nice to ponder at, but also a lovely breeding ground for mosquitos.

Therefore, I keep the door to the cabin usually closed.

But, as temperature is rising, I'm wondering if a screen door + some naturally mosquito repelling plants near the entrance might do the trick as well. So I can get some air flow at night.

Are there any such plants you know of? Preferentially perennial.

Has online accessibility improved or worsened last couple of years for visually impaired people? (mander.xyz)
 

On the one hand, I think OCR, text to voice, image to text, ... has improved quite a lot.

On the other hand more and more stuff is locked away in apps, and javascript blob websites, so I can imagine it's harder for accessibility tools to access information.

But I'm just guessing. Do any of you know first or second hand?

I am a little person inside my own mind (mander.xyz)
 

Most of the time, my physical interaction with the world is automated, a known set of subroutines. Then I am a little person inside my own mind stuck on a gymnasticon. Struggling away doing awefull calculations.

Once in a while something happens, rudely snapping me back to my body. The button has been pressed, there's a disgusting mess that needs my attention.

On a rare occasion, when inspecting the disgusting mess, I see that, infact, it is beautifull.

But always, disgusting or not, it gets automated. An additional subroutine.

I'll settle for rarely.
