Add bogs to that list. Worldwide, bogs store more CO2 than forests. Restoring them and making sure they don’t dry up (which also would release a lot of gases harmful to the climate) would be a good way to capture CO2.

I don’t have any numbers to compare it to other techniques though, sorry.

There really is no news story here other than a wild right-wing conspiracy theory.

There are tens of thousands candidates in this election with 17 known deaths among the candidates, 7 of which are AfD candidates. This might seem high at first glance, but since there is no central institution keeping track of this, there might be more deaths for the other parties that are just not known. Also, as others have pointed out, many AfD candidates are older men. One of the dead was 80, two others around 70.

I wish these conspiracy theories weren’t just casually echoed in headlines and social media.

He worked 500000 times as hard as other people! It’s well deserved! If you worked 168 hours a week instead of 40, and 120000 times as hard, you could easily make that, too.

I was wondering the same. We are sliding further right and into populism every year. If we are the “leading democracy” that’s bad news for the world.

Agreed. As a white German woman myself, I can tell you that we are very used to being above any suspicion. I have been waved on in every traffic control and border check I’ve ever been in.

Also the German passport is one of the strongest in the world, we can basically go wherever we want when travelling. And now suddenly the US of all places is a country we have to be cautious in.

This is of course a very privileged position to be in, but they are teenagers, they probably haven’t had to think about that until now.

It’s a relief to read that, I was having a severe culture shock there for a moment.

Does this egg-washing thing Americans do mean you have to keep them refrigerated even if they are hard-boiled? Because where I live you can keep hard-boiled eggs for days or even weeks even at room temperature. I never heard of anyone just throwing away the eggs they hide for kids. You hide them, the kids find them, you put them in the fridge, you eat them.

Edit: I don’t know if you added the part about refrigeration later or I just missed it before. That answers my question. I guess it makes sense because the shell will be porous. Wow, I never considered this affects easter customs.

Wait, do people just throw away the eggs?
