Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.

Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts.

Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.

The medal, yeah. The antidepressant? I'm not so sure.
Whoever wrote that. The idea that I get:
"Hey, Dave, those ice-cream nimrods have a new VP of marketing, and he wants an all new campaign by like yesterday."
"Oh, come on, not that shit again. These corporate nimrods don't know a good campaign if it comes on a silver platter!"
"Well, if we'll get a silver platter, we can just go prove that, can't we. He wants something edgy, risque, subversive. The usual. Please shoot me."
"No, no, nonono. We'll give him edgy, we'll give him subversive. We'll give him something no sane person would even consider for five minutes, and then we convince him it's the shizznit! And when it airs, and all hell breaks loose ..."
"Everyone is gonna blame the new guy. And he'll blame us and cancel our contract."
"Not if we just make it INSANE enough. He'll be out on his ass, flipping burgers, and we can point at our initial proposal that he rejected and plead innocence! And if he doesn't get the boot. We won't just have made a really controversial ad, we'll have advertised and sold THAT to a corporate executive! Remember, no such thing as bad PR!"

That's a manufacturer that was nationalised from WWII to the 90"s, trying to convince you that we need 100% electric cars for the survival of our children and polar bears, while what they really need is more nuclear plants to produce uranium derivates.

Well, most nuclear plants in France are light-water reactors. Those do produce trans-uranic waste. But in such a wee amount it's not really worth the effort. Remember that light-water reactors are what the west had offered North Korea in exchange for them stopping their graphite-reactor program, which would (and has) produce a lot of Plutonium and suchlike.
Light-water reactors do need enriched Uranium. If you can make fuel for light-water reactors, you can make weapons-grade HER. But once you got those plants, there's little point in building any more.
If anything, it's more like an old-boys network to keep the nuclear industry happy. The people who run the reactors, the people who build them and supply the exquisitely expensive OEM spare parts, the people who make a mint reprocessing nuclear fuel, the people who produce the exquisitely expensive trash-cans that the nuclear waste goes in.

Don't get me wrong. We do need electric cars, yeah. Eventually.
If everybody goes buying electric cars right now, though. There will be a vast amount of internally combusting vehicles that are not at the end of their service life flooding the market. Which means that people who can only buy second hand can suddenly afford a much nicer ride.
Which means a vast number of old, internally combusting cars that nobody really wants to buy in Europe will do what old, internally combusting cars that nobody really wants to buy in Europe do.
Get loaded on a cargo ship to some part of the world, mostly in Africa, where an old beater that wouldn't pass any technical inspection but still kinda drives is all people can afford.
So suddenly "switching" to electric cars will, in the end, increase the number of cars on the road. And unless there's a clever little switch nobody has found yet that you can flick and all the coal-burning power plants magically transform into solar farms and pumped storage facilities of equal power, that sudden adoption of electric cars will increase the amount of CO2 blasted into the air.
Not to mention that 50% of greenhouse gas emissions that a car is responsible for over its lifetime comes from manufacture.

What we need is a gradual change.
First of all, there should be tax incentives for people to drive their car to the end of its lifetime. Every year the car is registered in your name, the road tax is reduced by x%. And a special sales tax of something like 1/(mileometer reading/50,000)*price at which it's sold.
Secondly, we could get away from fossil fuel and not use electric cars for that. The University of Karlsruhe and another one in Finland are presently spinning off technology that uses solar power and water to produce synthetic gasoline. There are a few other, modern technologies for that. One catalytic one that combines CO2 and hydrogen and even puts out process-heat.
Technology for sucking CO2 out of the air is also getting along by leaps and bounds. They recently introduced a plant that turns CO2 into rocks.
So you could build a vast solar-energy infrastructure on the petrol-industry's dime, you could build a huge CO2 capturing infrastructure, and the synthetic gasoline plants. Once gasoline burning cars die out "naturally", you'll be left with a huge solar-energy infrastructure that's already hooked up to charge electric cars, a CO2 capture infrastructure that can help reduce atmospheric CO2 faster than plants will grow, or can maybe provide high-purity, synthetic coke for carbon-neutral steel manufacture.
It's all doable. Even for Diesels. I'm aware of at least one technology that turns inherently carbon-neutral feedstock into something resembling brent-light-crude, and can be turned to diesel or jet-fuel. And that technology produces enough volatile hydro-carbon gases along the way to provide its own energy requirements, so the operating costs won't involve a big energy bill. Just what kind of shit does it turn into oil? Just some kind of shit. The human kind. What is presently being dumped, buried, or burned. Sewage-sludge.
Also puts out distilled water along the way, cleansed of plastic micro-particles, pseudo-hormones, non-metabolized medication, all of that nasty stuff.

The technology exists. Legislation wouldn't have to be complex to make it happen.
It's just not profitable enough.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for technology and I'm sure that electric vehicle can and will bring up as much fun as old gas engine will.
what makes me uncomfortable, is that now, people are - BY LAW - forced to buy a new car, as if they drove their old stinkbeaters for fun or for their character.
