‘I’ve never seen heat this bad. It’s not normal’: Italy struggles as temperature tops 40C 104F (48C 120F predicted)

The EU needs to wake up and go hard on companies and industries. No mercy, no half-assing, just legislate the absolute shit out of them for once so that maybe our children can survive and live in not so terrible conditions, because not so terrible is the best we can hope for at this point.

The rest of the world too obviously, but the EU seems the most likely to do so.

Because they're causing this shit for decades now, solely because of their greed. If most of them suddenly have a change of heart and decide to put their power to help the world then opinions about them will improve, until then it's pretty justifiable to want to lynch those responsible one by one like the unhinged murderers they are.

Your favorite database engine?

Out of the pretty small number of database systems I've used:

  • Postgres: Pretty standard choice, can't go wrong with it
  • MySQL/MariaDB: Also very safe choice, I feel like it's more feature rich than Postgres but I'm not sure
  • Oracle: It reeks of proprietary bloat and it's unnecessarily different than the previous two in some things, but you can get some official enteprise support if you're a company
  • Influx: It solves a specific problem (time series) but it's very cool, modern and with api support for many languages
  • Microsoft Excel: Obviously the best choice
