Damn I didn’t know that the place covered by international maritime legislation was completely lawless

Pretty sure no one has the legal right to dump sewage in the sea either but go off I guess?

Putting solar panels and a battery in every house is ok if everyone owns an actual house, has enough space for a battery and gets enough sunlight but it wouldn’t be possible in most cities where hundreds of people share a single roof that doesn’t have the space for all the panels required.

In some countries the houses wouldn’t be big enough to install batteries without taking up valuable living space, most terraced houses in the uk couldn’t fit a power bank inside without filling an entire room’s usable space.

You also have to deal with the fact that many grids aren’t built to deal with the power fluctuation that comes from each house providing power, my university has a solar and wind farm that has to be shut down sometimes because the nearby city can’t handle all the power it produces in the summer and that’s from a centralised source.

Please just read what you’re responding to properly. I KNOW CATTLE FARMING PRODUCES GREENHOUSE GASSES. You were saying that if people stopped eating meat then almost all of the carbon emissions would stop but like I said that isn’t the case because some of the worst producers (like concrete manufacturers or fossil fuel companies) don’t care what you eat. Even if everyone stopped eating any form of animal products and we just culled all of the livestock worldwide, unless you want to revert to buildings from the 1600s those companies are still going to be emitting insane amounts of greenhouse gasses.

I never said that we shouldn’t fix anything, I was refuting your point that we only produce so many greenhouse gasses because we eat so much meat when that just isn’t the case.

For Judaism it would be Synagogue rather than church, the more general term would be temple I guess? Or maybe there's some word that encompasses any religious leaders in general.

Ah yes concrete manufacturers, one of the largest producers of greenhouse gasses, are only doing it because of meat eaters. Fun fact, the number one producer of greenhouse gasses in France isn't an entire industry, there's a single concrete factory that outweighs every other greenhouse gas producing industry in the country.

A blanket ban on social media isn’t going to help shit it’s just going to mean that when kids do get access to social media they haven’t learned how to use it properly, kids already aren’t taught enough about internet safety so why would completely banning them from any form of social media help? It’ll just mean that when they can use it they aren’t prepared and they’ll be worse off.

Cope

wait isn't this old news? I could've sworn that this stuff was being talked about back in the early 2010s because it can help point stuff out to doctors. Or are they trying to 100% nurses instead of just using these systems as an aid?

Yes I know, my point is that not having a reversing camera forces you to look around. Every time I’ve been a passenger in a car with a reversing cam the driver has never checked their mirrors or looked behind them, they just trust that the reversing camera can see everything.

sometimes I still have to do this, sure not for something that's only 20mb but a 1gb file can take a whole night to download in my uni accommodation. The landlord doesn't seem to give a shit though because they're still advertising that the building has "up to 100mb/s" wifi speeds.

Kia are bastards when it comes to anti consumer practices, my 2012 Kia had an airbag warning light come on right before it’s MOT and my usual garage said they couldn’t read the fault code, I tried specialised diagnostic readers and even borrowed a garage spec one from a neighbour and still couldn’t get anything from it.

In the end I had to take it to Kia themselves and get them to read the fault code for £130, turns out the fault was exactly what everyone thought it was but couldn’t confirm and now they want £750 to replace a single airbag module that needs to be coded to the car once it’s installed. My car has been in their garage since the start of January and there’s still no sign of the part arriving yet but I can’t install one myself because of the fact that only Kia can recode it to match the car.

So staring at a tiny screen on your dashboard makes you less likely to hit a child that already would’ve gone unnoticed if you were actively looking in multiple directions with a wider field of vision?

it's supposed to be 100mb/s but in reality it's about 0.5mb/s, I've seen it drop as low as 5kb/s (my landlord is a cheapscate and won't replace the busted wifi extender in my uni dorm block)

were the cloned sheep sterile or not? It sounds like they shouldn't be able to cross breed but somehow he created them so I'd imagine it'd be like ligers.

I was in a discord server with some people who were really hyped about BCI implants especially during the first couple of Neuralink press releases, I still am but we've all realised how shitty neuralink is.

The reason why people are pushing for implants instead of things like ECG caps is because a cap A) can't write data and B) the data that it can read is extremely fuzzy because it has to pass through the skull, I think I heard about some improvements in that second part by using an AI to filter the different types of data but I don't think it's that advanced yet.

The first part isn't too much of an issue but one of the major things it could do would be to allow for people to regain senses that they lost by telling their brain what they should be able to see or hear, and also because everyone in that discord server I was a part of were all weebs we were all obsessed with being able to play games in full VR completely ignoring the whole plot of Sword Art Online.

I've got an 8 year old original gen iPhone SE that's just about holding on still and I'm keeping it because I hate how big phones have become since (I already hated the size increase of the 6 and that's why I got the SE instead)

For your first point I've owned a 3g, a 5s and my current SE and I've never heard about paying for OS updates so idk where you got that idea from but my phone is still getting free updates 8 years after release even if they aren't supporting upgrading to newer OS versions they're still patching IOS 15. Also do you think that iPhones are the only phone models with a limited life expectancy? Multiple generations of Android phones have been completely dropped in the life span of my single phone, Samsung is apparently the best android phone lifespan wise and apparently they drop support after 5 years.

I'm saving up for my next phone at the moment though and I'm defintely switching from apple over to an android phone but I've found that I can get a gaming phone for half the price of a mainstream device with specs that blow the competitors out of the water (even beating the iphone 15 pro max's camera quality) but I wouldn't be switching if my phone wasn't on the verge of death.

the first powered blimp was built in the 1850s so it's only 26 years away from being a 200 year old technology, first hot air balloon flight was 250ish years ago though and as long as someone couldn't tell what it was then that's technically a UFO from over 200 years ago.

They’re hot for James May right now!
