At some point we will probably do geo and it probably will be from planes. I'm not talking about some conspiracy or something. I'm talking about how we are just not going to fix climate change before it's really going to be a huge problem (and at that moment it's too late to fix it with carbon reduction).

Let's say we stop all human carbon sources right now, that is not going to remove any of the CO2 we already have in the air.

I think most of the things you say are true, but small local farming isn't going to solve world hunger. The bigger a farm gets the more efficient it can operate. The progress we made as a species boils down to how much more efficient we can do stuff.

Sure but don't cry when someone injects some js in your website or drops a table, because you didn't sanitize every input completely.

I think on the internet now you say earussy or something like that, something wikipedia

Loved fireworks as a kid, didn't even knew the ringing in your ears after a loud bang was bad

Exactly, IRL you see the windows boot screen and think I fucked up my grub again

It helps the cheese develop more flavor

Exactly this, our first computer came with msdos, if you didn't wanted to type commands in a terminal, you couldn't play games. If you didn't wanted to learn how to setup your soundcard for every game, the game had no (or super crappy) sound.

It's not about understanding tech at all. I work in a software development team and have a pretty deep understanding of how a lot of tech works. But I never owned an Apple device, so I can't tell you basic shit about a how use iOS.

Also it's just an American thing, I'm in Europe but never really had anything pumpkin spice.

I have had pumpkin soup but apparently the spice doesn't taste like pumpkin.

Maybe it depends on where you live, but plenty of city street parking with a charger here, not as cheap as using your own solar energy, but still pretty cheap compared to gasoline.

Why would you want a hydrogen car and still be dependent on gas stations? I'd rather just charge at home using solar panels.

Same here, but Netflix is going to increase prices again, so that might be the final straw to ditch them for me

Trains are good for short distances, like going to work.

When you compare trains to planes, why would you take a train for a long distance journey? It takes much longer to get there and it's also more expensive.

I responded somewhere above in the conservation.

It was something I heard this professor say in a podcast and there was also a newspaper article about it.

This English items doesn't say the straw bit, but it does say 4KG of microplastics during its lifetime

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jul/14/car-tyres-are-major-source-of-ocean-microplastics-study

After some Googling, a car tire will last about 50K miles. After 50K miles it has lost 4KG of microplastics. A car has 4 tires so 16KG.

16000 grammes per 50K miles, is almost 1 gram per 3 miles.

First Google result Straws on average weigh so little—about one sixty-seventh of an ounce or . 42 grams

It's an article from a Dutch professor, unfortunately paywalled

On his linked he summarized some points

Column FD

• In the Netherlands, a total of around twenty million kilos of tire grit in various degrees remains in the environment every year.
• **A car threw the equivalent of a plastic straw's worth of microplastics out the window every five to ten kilometers. **
• You cannot remove microplastics from the water with a well-intentioned ocean filter.
• Time to start working on more sustainable or, better, biodegradable tires.

Here's another "fun" fact, with every 3 miles you drive you will polite about 1 straw of microplastics from the cars tires.

Also just looking at history isn't going to solve anything. If that was the only solution we can just get any map remove all borders everywhere and discus how to draw them based on history. We all know this is just going to be a never ending discussion because it just depends on what snapshot in time (of the world) you take as your truth.

Ukraine is a sovereign nation that got attacked by another country.

Palestine just carried out a horrible attack on Israel. Plus the history of Israel and Palestine is totally different. It's just apples and oranges. I'm not claiming in any way Israel is right here, but Hamas is definitely scum of the Earth.

Teams always has been shit with Firefox, while there is no reason to be shit. Like people said higher in the comments, if you change the user agent to edge magically new features are enabled.

Also Microsoft claimed to support Linux while in reality they made some half assed desktop client, and dropped support about a year later.

Slack was so much better, I really really hate that our office went with teams. Also for some strange reason teams is the only "website" that seems to crash my entire laptop once in a while and its the only app that makes my phone super hot.
