IMO the biggest issue is that instead of reviewing the code of your colleagues, you review some random generated stuff. You know what kind of code you can expect from your colleagues, not anymore. Also you expect that code reviews promote knowledge and consistency amongst the team and helps them to become better in programming. Not anymore either.

Can anyone explain how do they make the antimatter particles and how do they actually know/analyze that they are making antimatter atoms ?

Basically they shoot a particle to a block of material, they get out lots of different particles. Some of them are the right ones.

My bank is changing my MFA from SMS to mobile banking auth with each and every mobile banking app update. I tried to explain them to not do so, as when I break, lose my phone, it's quite easy to use a spare or get even a new sim card with the same number, but for anything else (buying a new phone, changing limits for cash withdrawal for a new phone, buying a ticket for public transport to a physical phone shop) I need the MFA code. Which I don't have of course. And surely I don't remember the unique 9 digit random identifier that is written on my bank contract to access mobile banking hotline. Shitlock.
It looks like most of their cars have ~110 horsepower? Seems weak.
Usually there is this thing called transmission in a car that effectively make the car able to accelerate enough for most of the situations. The only problem with having less horsepower than other cars is that the maximal achievable speed is lower. But for sure riding above 100mph is much more comfortable in other brands.

So you came up with a solution for the waste now?
I must have missed that. Please explain.
Do you prefer spreading the pollution over the vast area around the thermal power plants? Because that's the current alternative in most of the countries. Nuclear waste is treated securely enough for now in Europe, and future may bring us scientific development to resolve this problem in future.

France electricity is mostly (72%) from nuclear power. Aka the most under-appreciated clean energy that everybody is panicky about and wants to get rid of. Which means, unless you have a luxury of having tons of hydropower or something, nuclear is probably the best way to lower carbon footprint. Of course, this is also the least discussed way.
Nuclear power plants are vaporizing WATER, which is a much stronger greenhouse gas! :)

This article is total nonsense. No data sources provided, claims 78g/Km CO₂ for Norway with 98% renewable energy. Also completely ignores energy use for production of fossile fuels and apparently uses the circulating wild guesses for CO₂ emissions during battery production (which Elon Musk has commented on...).
I believe that the article is demonstrating some point, and this point is obvious. It's not a scientific article, and even though author does not provide information about data source that doesn't mean that there is no data source.
