Great idea, jotted down a list of things I've found to be impactful over the past year, some of them overlap with what's already been posted.

• Installed solar panels (according to my app, last year they produced enough MWh to equal 8.5 tons of CO2)
• Trade in our ICE car for an EV (in a year has avoided 5.5 tons of CO2)
• Insulated our house (attic and walls) coupled with double-pane windows. Cuts down on AC and furnace usage immensely and makes the house much more pleasant overall
• Prefer 100% cotton clothing/avoid synthetic materials
• Installed a Lint-Luv-R microplastic filter on our washing machine
• Shop at refillable container store and avoid single-use plastic where possible
• Eat more plant-based food, e.g. oat milk, rice, tofu, beans, noodles, etc.
• Install a rain diverter in our downspouts to collect rain water
• Reusable diapers if you have an infant/toddler. Diaper waste piles up fast
• Run/walk to the gym and grocery store
• Prefer items made in North America versus overseas (cargo ships burn bunker fuel )
• For coffee, I bring a travel cup and ask if they can fill that instead of a plastic cup (iced) or cup with a plastic lid (hot)
• Donate to reputable environmental organizations
• Replace landscaping with native plants, allow pollinators to do their thing
• Vote for the world you want to live in and pass on: with your time, dollar, and ballot

The music alone is 🔥

100%. Seems like phones continually get worse under the guise of "progress". No more headphone jack or removable battery, more bloated software, anti-privacy assistants/AI. Switched to a Sony Xperia for the headphone jack alone and it's been great, I hope they don't follow this AI trend or else I'm out.

That's awesome. Loved JSRF, used to play it just for the soundtrack

Damn. Season 2 has been crushing it too, especially with all the epic fight scene animations. Hope they figure things out and give the animators better working conditions.

Those are rookie numbers, gotta pump those up. First world ballers are working 140+ hours/week. /s

Cowboy Bebop is timeless.

Fate Stay Night: UBW and other Fate series.

Currently enjoying Jujutsu Kaisen.

The one dealership that didn't have a markup near us sold out immediately and we ended paying a slight markup at another place, but after all the incentives and trade-in it was a steal.

We love our EUV, I don't think I'll go back to an ICE car after seeing how convenient home charging is and one-pedal driving is great.

That's a bummer. Was interested to see what a Honda EV with ultium cells would be like. A sub-$30k EV is what a lot of people are looking for, judging from my experience buying a Bolt. Hope they can figure out the unit-economics

Silent wind of doom is a nice callback. A Muscular Beaver attack would've been funny too

No single human activity has a bigger impact on the planet than the production of food

Better for your health, better for the planet, better for animals. Every bit helps and this is a win-win-win.

Terrible. Getting caught up in a geopolitical fight while you're just trying to eke out a living. Hope their families find peace.

The area has witnessed increasingly frequent run-ins between Philippine vessels and tiny wooden fishing boats against much larger Chinese coast guard ships and what Manila says are shadowy Chinese “maritime militia” fishing vessels.

Wooden fishing boats vs. steel hull ships tells you everything about who's the aggressor. Hope they find a resolution.

If I remember correctly it rapid fired bullets

A Shelby Cobra should be enough to stop them

I'm glad you guys took a measured approach. This right here is the difference between a corporation and Lemmy. I can't imagine a for-profit reversing its decision in the interest of the community unless it affected their bottom line or stock price. Hats off to the admin team for working through all these complex issues.

This looks pretty cool. A Fate game set in the Edo period with samurai. So far reviews seem positive, might have to check this one out

Not surprising. Everyone should be wary of what they share online and not expect that companies will respect their privacy. That said, I wish it weren't so and training AI with our data seems dystopian

Sounds like when they tried pushing "clean coal"

It physically fits but isn't very stable. The Chemex's glass is also a bit thin so I might hesitate pushing down hard on it since might put stress on it. I'd probably brew into a mug and dump the coffee into the Chemex if you want to serve it in that.

Hakko or Weller are usually well recommended
