Until we've mined so much that the ratio of mass between the Earth and the Moon causes tidal changes and eventually the Earth pulls the Moon into the Earth and all life is destroyed. How quickly do you think we can speedrun that?

The industrial revolution was about 150-200 years ago and our planet is dying because of it. Can we beat that record?

Edit: also, who gets dibs on the moon? Something tells me the vast majority of the population won't get a say and mysteriously, somehow, it'll be American mega-corps doing the mining

Just works, sometimes. Other times you'll be left with a blank screen and the need for a second device to search the mint forums. It all depends on the age and support for your hardware.

TLDR: The Gestapo and Stasi

Please stop bending over backwards for the corporations. The customer shouldn't have to control the taxi when they're calling for emergency support like this. Should he just crawl into the front seat and drive the thing for them as well?

He was on his way to a flight. Flights are expensive. Of course he wants reassurance that his costs will be covered if he misses it due to their failings. He has no idea for how long he's going to be continually going in circles and we don't know for how long he'd already been going in circles.

This is a customer in distress and you're shitting on them because they had a stressed tone towards the mega-corp representative? Shameful.

Lemmy on the TV? That's a thing? How? Why?

The solution is a varied diet.

We need to be eating random things, not the same protein, carbs, and veggies that we know we like and buy on routine.

How much of the fruit and vegetable aisle do you actually purchase from? I think many of us get in a routine of buying the same things over and over because we know what we like or we're on autopilot from work burnout. But, for example, if instead of buying apples each week, we buy a different random fruit. Or, if the budget can stretch it, buy apples and a random fruit. Then our nutritional variety has just increased.

I'm being a bit of a hypocrite here because I myself like to buy the same things over and over. I like chicken, I like apples, I like the same granola I always get. But during each shop, I try to add at least something random that I don't normally get. A vegetable I don't normally cook with or tofu instead of chicken, whatever. We need variety.

There's also the talk of nutritional content reducing in supermarket goods as they're produced for profit. So growth speed and shelf appearance are prioritised, a way to combat that is to start growing some of your own. Obviously, this is highly dependent upon living situations, but even some herbs in a windowsill will help. Personally, I think vegetable gardeners are some of the most punk people out there, sustaining themselves, entertaining themselves, and learning new skills all for the price of a bag of dirt and some seeds. Be punk!

Any chance somebody knows how to find saved comments on the Boost android app?

I've saved this one to listen to that Manila Road cover later but can't find where they're stored so commenting here instead. Sorry!

I use drills everyday for work and have one at home that doesn't get used much because if I want to get handy I don't want to drive to work to get one.

The average person has fuck-all experience with power tools, they don't use them every day. They can pull the trigger and it goes brrrrrrr but they don't know what the options on the rotation piece are, they don't know about different types of chuck, they don't know which gear setting to put their drill in. They use it for the absolute minimum amount of time possible and then put it away. You're clearly a professional if you're using them every day, most people are not.

I don't know whether the 7 minute claim is true or not, but the idea that most drills barely get used and spend most of their time sitting about is not very difficult to believe. I'm quite a handy person, and even my drill spends most of it's time doing nothing because I'm not drilling every single day, just as and when DIY jobs come up.

In a world drowning in ewaste, and lithium being a precious resource, why are we collectively wasting so much on individual drills when, as JubilantJaguar said, we could own these things communally and not create so much waste.

The idea of a communal toolshed for your street, block, tenement, whatever, isn't the same as having tools sitting at work. Work for most people is a commute away. Communal toolsheds would be local. They ideally shouldn't be any more than 10 mins walk away. Can you really begrudge a 10 minute walk for the sake of your wallet, environment, and community?

This also helps the young get into DIY easier. Most of my mates growing up barely did any DIY or tinkering, not because they weren't interested, but because the cost of getting the necessary tools was prohibitive as a teenager. It's taken me years to accumulate the toolbox I have now, and many of the items in there are hand-me-downs or second-hand. A communally owned toolshed gives everyone instant access to tools regardless of personal wealth or resources. If a power tool dies, £150 spread between multiple households is nothing compared to £150 for an individual household.

Managing it, caring for the tools, ensuring they're returned, and in a good state, are obviously hurdles to be addressed, but if communal toolsheds were the cultural norm then they could easily be overcome. We manage to do it with books easily enough, why not anything else?

Don't host on YouTube? They're a big company, I'm sure they've got the resources for a couple of video files.

I don't think Iroh meant disgrace as in failure, more disgrace as in shameful, he regretted his military endeavours. Pearl Harbour, being a surprise attack on a neutral party, could arguably also be regarded as a shameful disgrace.

Keyboard shortcuts mean memorising. Some people have issues with memory. On-screen buttons mean no memorising.

That's the cool thing about Linux. You can customise it to your own needs and desires. Everybody is different.

Because the Swiss have famously never been fans of Nazis...

The easiest way to survive Kristal Nacht 2: Electric Boogaloo is to get outta there before it happens. Stockpiling some food and "hunkering down" isn't gonna keep you safe. Get outta there.

What does America offer that you can't get in Europe, Canada, Australia, etc?

Brain drain the fascist state to a standstill.

The earlier you do it, the higher your chances of being accepted into other countries. They may block American refugees if there becomes an exodus. It also means you have time to sell unnecessary items instead of possibly having to abandon them.

Good luck, whatever path you choose.

Is there an easy way to purge a Lemmy account or do you have to edit/ delete each comment and post first?

I've had issues with deleting posts previously and just resorted to editing them to be useless instead.

And risk burning yourself when the rubber wears out in 3 years and bursts?

Nah, get yourself one of those oat-filled microwavable teddies. Does the same job but with less risk of severe burns and doesn't need replaced every few years.

Notes to editors

Limited exceptions to the ban may be required for safety or restoration purposes. An exemption is also anticipated to protect the historic rights of freeminers to mine personal gales in the Forest of Dean.

The government has laid a Written Ministerial Statement confirming that it will introduce legislation to restrict the future licensing of new coal mines, by amending the Coal Industry Act 1994, when Parliamentary time allows.

It was manufactured by the Americans, put into space by the Americans, controlled by the Americans until they handed over control to the RAF, and was stated in the article to be "dual control". It was clearly the Americans.

Why is an event that happened in the 1970s getting an article now?
