He miscalculated when he decided to go to war. He miscalculated badly. He was prepared to win in 5 days and thought that the West would not support Ukraine, that Zelenskyy would run, that NATO would be weakened and the EU would be weakened.
In reality, Ukraine beat the first wave of Russian attacks and pushed them back, he never expected this. The Russian army is shown to be ineffective. NATO is much strengthened and is now expanding. The West is increasing military spending. The EU is strengthened. Russia is failing.
Putin badly miscalculated everything that could be calculated ... He has no way back and is forced to continue a losing war.

The only thing Putin miscalculated was the Russophobia and the Empire devotion in Europe as exemplified by him signing the Minsk accords, whereas they (he’s not a dictator contrary to what your empire sources tell you) could have annihilated the Ukro army in weeks if not days. Of course neither Ukraine, Germany or France were ever planning on adhering to it, as they have admitted to recently, but he was naive enough to let NATO build up the Ukrainian army and continue to shell civilians in Donetsk for 8 years. Now it’s gonna take them years and thousands of lives (mostly Ukrainian) to liberate the Donbass. It will happen though, sorry. The gloves haven’t even come off yet.
The ‘civilized’ countries (aka the ones that are bowing down to US hegemony) tried twice before. Napoleon lost, the Nazi’s lost and NATO will lose too. Send yourself a remindme to rub it in if you want to.
Remindme! 1year

Because installing fiber into the current building I live in is not viable. It's DSL internet instead. It's not like I'd just choose to have 6 Mbps when 1/10gig is an option. Instead unlimited data in a loosely rural but resort area means that it's much more effective to use cellular instead.

It’s laughable compared to Poland, where Internet is plentiful and cheap. Germany really lags behind.

You are correct that not all snowpack melt water can flow through a reservoir. I guess perhaps my wording is confusing. The snowpack is like another reservoir in that it stores water, but it's not exactly like a reservoir, in that all of that water will be captured.

This is why desalination never happens, drought breaks, things fill up, apocalypse doesn't come, media has to go back to reporting celebrity breakups.

>Isn’t it interesting how things are always ‘complicated’ when it involves enemies of the empire but never when it involves nato-countries.
All of these stories are complicated, because they involve two competing rights, the right of peoples to self-determination competing against the right to territorial integrity. Ideally, both would be satisfied. The details matter and they vary.
You mention Catalonia. The Catalan and Spanish parliaments negotiated how to align these two rights and reached an agreement satisfactory to both parliaments, an agreement the involved a higher level of autonomy for Catalonia. The Constitutional Court of Spain found this to be counter to the constitution. Instead of amending the Constitution, the right-wing government of the time pushed for conflict. If not for the right-wingers, this would have been solved. I have never said this was OK. What would be right would be to honour the agreement between the parliaments.
With Tibet, it was just a land grab by China with elements of genocide. Just as they are doing genocide on the Uyghurs.
Crimea was also a land grab, there was no serious attempt to negotiate an agreement, the referendums were complete sham and unrecognised by observers. In fact, Russia used its power in the Security Council to veto any attempt by the international community to protect minorities or mediate an agreement because Russia always wanted to grab that land.
With Kosovo, instead of negotiating as Spain and Catalonia initially did and granting more autonomy, Serbia took away the autonomy Kosovo already had. Furthermore, other peoples in Yugoslavia used their right to self-determination, but Serbia denied that right to Kosovars. Serb leaders publicly proclaimed that Serbia wins in war and loses in negotiations and decided to use force, sure in the power of the Yugoslav army. They miscalculated, just as Putin has miscalculated. By deciding to use force instead of negotiation, they caused the right to self-determination to trump the right to territorial integrity.
Civilised nations, such as Czechs and Slovaks did it all peacefully, joined the EU and no harm done to anyone. Life proceeds normally between Czechs and Slovaks. Serbia, China and Russia are violent and insist on resolving these matters using force. That is the key difference. These countries think themselves powerful and that they can have attached slave-nations. Serbia failed immediately. Russia failed in Ukraine and China will also fail eventually.

One pice I think you may be missing is that not all of the snowpack is useful. Snowpack in a reservoir’s watershed is basically additional water in the reservoir. But snowpack that does not melt to a reservoir is will just flow into the ocean.
So you’re adding water (damed) with snow (damed and undamed). It’s not something that’s really fair to add together.
Or that’s accounted for in the 2016 paper and I just misunderstood.

The problem is the snow sensor data isn't available before the 70's and 80's.

And not even mobile, landline too. We had the chance to get one of the best fiber networks in the world. If our Postminister would have chosen fiber over copper wires back in damn 1985...

Kind of garbage data pre 1900 or so - most of the world was burning wood all winter long, all over the world. The premise that the wealthy were creating 99% of carbon emissions during that time is just idiotic.
Ugly chart because it's using obviously bad data. Ez down vote, should be in r/dataismisleading, not this sub.

The U.S. is the exception in that it does have lots of "in-fill"--loads of suburbia and strip malls in between big cities. A characteristic of a society designed around cars.
Most of the world is characterized by wide open space and long roads until your reach the next city, town, or settlement.
