Reading this feels living through new dark age of Human–computer interaction (HCI). As and oldschool engineer, I was though HCI in year 2008. How to place and calculate controls, heatpaths, click to action counts, colors, where to use what... And all this accumulated knowledge went down the drain (even in military!). Now rediscovered like some lost art.

In our setting predators do the job - hawks do lions' share (LoL) and foxes the rest. So agingn chicken does not happen. Although we had a rooster - a tiny one, which had incredible surival skills - was over 10 years, killed 2 bigger roosters himself, numerous unobedient hens, survived direct fox attack and dodged hell knows how many hawk strikes. Eventually went blind and had to part with his head out of mercy.

As an european I envy so much this great purge - here entire castes build on feeding from grant money, perpetuating DEI, green transition, gender studies etc. Overnight nothing-scientist/ NGO profesionals carreers are over, like in those "AI stole my job" videos. Sadly EU still holds strong perpetuating this grant bottom feeding, poisoning academia and discrediting NGOs.

This sounds like Hollywood celebs leaving to Canada - no one did. So where will so called top scientists go? Real scientists will continue their work after weeding out. But the DEI, climate, gender studies and other bottom feeders will need to pack for Europe. Or learn a trade.

These units are ubiquitus in northernish Europe, as any new/renovated building needs them to reach A/A++ energy effiency. Brands like Komfovent, SystemAir, offering 200 m³/h ducted units for 2000 Euros, with efficiency like:

  Outdoors    °C -23  -15  -10  -5    0   25   30   35
  After unit, °C 12,9 14,5 15,5 16,5 17,5 22,6 23,6 24,6
with indoor conditions + 22 °C, 20 % RH

Netherlands produce really edible tomatos, just your suplier buys D category produce instead of A, which is expensive. I'm surprised that Italy or Spain can't match (maybe because of price) on my supermarket shelf. I don't challenge homegrown tomato - they are superior! But you have to survive winter somehow.
