  • To be in top 1% by income, you have to earn “just” $819K per year in US. So, $1.8M is nothing to sneeze about for them.

  • I would add requirement that for #1 it should be locked (could be biometric lock) but I would remove #2. Having requirement for two separate locked storages reduces probability of people following it at all, and adds significant time if you need to get loaded gun quickly for self defense.

  • Can you give example? How do they use this kind of confidential information for stock trading?

  • When I once in a while visit Reddit for one of those particularly tailored adult subreddits, I still use old.reddit.com. It is amazing how they managed to screw up UI and still did not fix it.

  • They installed those draconian anti-abortion rules, now this, their “grub the pussy” guy is going to go to jail or become party elect or both and yet the November elections are far from certain. How democrats can screw up that much? A dog should be able to landslide this election against republicans.

  • Some of us are on kbin. It’s fediverse! It is like federation, only here, now.

  • No it is not. However those electronics terminal would like you to tip everywhere.

  • The solution is UBI.

  • That … was beautiful! Where can I get those shoes?

  • Yeah, at this time I think you should rise a white flag.

  • I will let our IT/legal/cyber security department deal with that.

  • This too shell pass.

    Honestly, he is so incompetent, and he is so focused on himself that other than theatrics, I do not expect him to be any different from average republican president in terms of policies. Those policies will be formulated by whomever he likes at given moment.

  • Credit, or a warning?

    Yes.

    Initially it was giving me answer that glass is better, but when I asked for the sources it searched the internet and gave me that answer. I guess there is a lot of text (just general articles) about recycling and glass, saying one thing, but the actual studies published in journals show different picture, at least with PET.

    In general, I found very helpful to ask the same question different ways and ask for the sources, otherwise it will give "common knowledge", which can be wrong, or misleading.

  • Usually you have to ask for the sources. It does not give the sources unless it's searches internet.

  • There have been several detailed analyses comparing the carbon footprints and overall environmental impacts of glass and plastic (specifically PET) bottles. For instance, a study published in Sustainability used Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to assess the environmental sustainability of two packaging alternatives for extra virgin olive oil: glass bottles and PET bottles made from 100% recycled PET granulate. The study found that the recycled PET system was more environmentally sustainable than the glass system across all impact categories considered, particularly in terms of global warming potential, particulate formation, terrestrial acidification, and fossil fuel scarcity. The impacts of the R-PET were lower than 40% compared to those of the glass system, with the glass system responsible for significantly higher CO2 equivalents due to the high weight of the glass bottle affecting both production and distribution phases​​. https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/4/3665

    Another study presented in Recycling conducted a comparative LCA of two alternative packaging systems for drinking water: reusable glass bottles and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. The results indicated that PET bottles were the most sustainable option for natural water across many impact categories. For sparkling water, the environmental impacts of the two packaging systems were similar, and the most environmentally sound solution varied depending on the specific impact category considered. This study highlighted the importance of considering the number of reuses of a single glass bottle and the distribution distance, as these factors could significantly influence which packaging option is more sustainable​​.

    Furthermore, research compiled in ResearchGate also compared the LCA of PET and glass bottles, underscoring that plastics generally have a lower carbon footprint and lesser environmental impact compared to glass packaging material, when considering the entire lifecycle from raw material transportation to disposal​​.

    I have to credit ChatGPT4 for this answer.

  • They have tons of cases, including those with minimal RGB, but yes, those are gaming PCs.

  • Glass is usually broken and melted again. Lots of energy required. Is it really better carbon-footprint-wise?
