Technical things overlap the political topics, unfortunately.

--- Quote from: Zero999 on September 25, 2023, 07:51:00 pm ---I find it interesting when the discussion turns political here, because I get to hear from those who live in the real world and not just what the mainstream media pump out.

Which "real world?" Oceania? Greenland? Or just the UK (and perhaps the US)?
--- End quote ---
It's good to hear opinions from around the world.

--- Quote ---And which "mainstream media?" Le Soir? Sueddeutsche Zeitung? The Sun? Fox News?
--- End quote ---
Yes, real people. Most of the political views I get exposed to come from the BBC, CNN, Fox News, GB News, The Telegraph, Guardian etc.

You're entitled to your opinion, as am and I disagree. I've found many of the political topics here interesting, because I get different perspectives.

Each of us is entitled to his own opinion (including on pronouns), but in engineering and science we tend to consider facts.

That doesn't matter. It's not strictly enforced, which I think is great. Dave has made plenty of political posts, which is fine, because occasionally politics gets into work. It's inevitable.

If you feel it's too much, press the report button, then ignore the thread and don't post in it.
TimFox:
Opinion and facts:
As an example of a present-day controversy, consider the increase in the Earth's surface temperature over, say, the past century.
The scientific data show a clear trend of increasing temperature, and scientists have developed models that can be compared with future temperature trends and power usage, along with possible effects on agriculture, etc.
Scientists and engineers can suggest possible methods for improving the future trends.
Engineers can calculate the costs and benefits, along with practicability, of possible methods.
The political process (whatever you may think about it) will determine what (if anything) is actually done about it.
