The 2 trillion figure is the minimum: it could be more than 6 trillion every year, and the elephant in the room is that more than half of those are factory farmed - which means humans are responsible for torturing them their entire lives.

Aren't the A and Q keys also at terrible positions?

Seems like they're banned in several countries and by several providers: https://web.archive.org/web/20250531154905/https://catbox.moe/faq.php

Scientists didn't become pickier - they just later found that Pluto was in a belt of thousands of massive object (called the Kuiper belt), like the asteroid belt but much bigger.

When Ceres was discovered in 1801, it was thought to be a comet, later a planet, but after discovering it was one of many asteroids in the asteroid belt (which it wasn't big enough to clear), they realized it wasn't a planet.

When Pluto was first discovered in 1930, it was in a similar situation as Ceres and thought of as a planet, but when other Kuiper belt objects started to be discovered by 1992, they realized Pluto also wasn't a planet.

Factory farming for the vast majority of chickens, is life-long enslavement in torturous conditions.

Hundreds of billions of non-aquatic animals are enslaved by factory farmers every year.

Trillions of fish are enslaved in factory farms every single year.

Only Yesterday is my favorite by far. If Grave of the Fireflies didn't have the supernatural/Deus-ex-machina/genre whiplash scenes at the end, it would've been my favorite, but that ending ruins the movie for me.

What religion are they? The opposite-of-what-Jesus-taught religion?

"One of the most effective ways to avoid consumption in the first place, Dr. Rees said, is to have a smaller family."

Yip, human overpopulation is the biggest cause of anthropogenic climate change (compare it to other causes), and the root cause of it. It's also the root cause of the anthropocene extinction event and of that becoming a mass extinction event, and of factory farming, and of industrial fishing, and of habitat degradation and destruction, and of unsustainable pollution, ...

If I remember correctly I had the same start: tested Knoppix, tried Mandrake for a short time, then Ubuntu which I used for several years until Gnome 3 when I switched to Xubuntu for several years, but when snap happened I tried Debian, then Mint for a while, but I'm now trying MX.

In South Africa, the law determines that if something's labeled "Product of South Africa" it can't have any imported ingredients (tho the packaging can be imported).

"Produced in South Africa" can have imported ingredients - and I've been boycotting almost all of that because of the omnicidal carbon footprint of importing things. It's easier in this country to live ethically tho because we can grow almost everything we need: from food to textiles; tho our energy production is some of the most unethical in the world.

While the temperature forecast is for 33 ºC, the heat index in the capital yesterday was up to 41. Forecasts for the next 2 days, are up to 40 on the heat index in the capital. Yesterday the heat index was over 40 in several other areas, with a maximum of 45. https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/weather/heat-index

If you don't want to be complicit in causing a mass extinction event by making the biosphere unlivable, then by far the most important thing to do is to not contribute to human overpopulation which is the biggest and root cause of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change as well as the biggest other atrocities.

"In November of 2019 Kennedy sent a letter to the prime minister, obtained by Scott Kennedy and shared with Vanity Fair, speculating that the measles outbreak might be attributed to the vaccine itself." https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/robert-kennedy-jr-shocking-history

Try "to function as a society" when the biosphere becomes unlivable. The biggest and root cause of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change is human overpopulation:

• https://interactive.guim.co.uk/uploader/embed/2017/07/co2_saved/giv-3902H9Q7lx2HE5M7/

The fact that the biggest and root cause of a mass extinction event is being reduced, is a good thing.

These hemorrhagic-fever like outbreaks (like Ebola and Marburg) usually don't spread too far because of how dramatic the symptoms are and of how quickly they usually kill patients: here "death occurs within just 48 hours of the onset of symptoms".

"However, here, it is concerning that we have hundreds of cases and over 50 deaths, with hemorrhagic-fever like symptoms widely reported among those cases." - Michael Head. Current estimate of a "fatality rate of 12.3 percent" is of course a major problem locally, tho that % could be completely wrong.

If there are few or no asymptomatic carriers, and the incubation is period is short, then it's unlikely to be like COVID-19.

Bird flu is still big concern - and potentially the solution to omnicidal anthropogenic climate change.

Because they blocked you? Maybe they don't want to see posts from people who don't summarize the articles in the subject/title?
