You're American? Can you do the thing you described without getting taxed?

I once installed pirated Counter Strike from a CD and got Hantaner.A

The originator of the term is the late Terry Davis, a paranoid schizophrenic and developer of TempleOS. He used to go on angry rants about "glow in the dark CIA niggers", or glowies for short.

I only picked the two biggest things I could think of that require fossil fuels, but you're right. Plastics are used for everything because they are a wonder material. And so are fluorocarbons by the way, that's why they're also everywhere.

Thanks, looks interesting.

Increasing fuel prices would increase the cost of everything else too, lowering living standards globally. It would effectively be a flat tax for the whole humankind. I agree this would accelerate the green transition, but there's currently no direct replacement for diesel/heavy fuel oil (which container ships, heavy trucks and tractors require) and natural gas. Well there is biodiesel but that requires turning fields from growing food to growing oil plants needed for the fuel. Current battery tech is still only satisfactory for personal transportation.

Regulating the companies would at least be better than just pulling the plug on fossil fuels (that would in the current situation basically stop the world and cause untold amounts of famine and misery).

This is a flawed take. The fossil firms sell because everyone wants to buy, and everyone wants to buy because the world is still absolutely dependent on fossil fuels. Stuff won't move without diesel and most of the calories humankind grows needs nitrogen from the Haber-Bosch process.

How can a country be in such a hysteria over egg prices? Don't they have anything to eat but eggs?

This just weeds out the illiterate people.

Why on earth are you eating kratom at work?

On a personal level I would be pissed if had saved money for decades and had to piss it away by blowing up orcs because the fucks can't stay in Mordor.

A trick I use for proofing in the oven is placing a baking pan of streaming water to the bottom of the oven. It stays warm quite long.

How does having an AI-chat feature in a browser diminish it's quality? No one's forced to use any feature.

These waffles! They suck!

Just slice it thinly and fry in an oily pan. Salt and pepper, that's it. Tastes like eggplant.

How? Even though Lemmy has lots of commies, it has nothing inherently to do with communism.

Kuulostaa varsin leppoisalta reippailulta kavereiden kesken. Onkohan niillä hakaristin muotoiset pingismailat.

Coffee creamer is bizarre. It makes everything you add it to taste sweet, oily and industrial yet it's so popular in some cultures that it's considered a no-brainer.
