Like others have touched on, this place seems like a reasonable discussion with some real people. It’s not INTERNET BULLSHIT FIREHOSE.

Are you sure those numbers are right? The proportions of 550nm/0.08nm and c/461m/s are very different.

I’d venture a guess that his primary skill in life and business is pressuring other people so that he gets what he wants.

Yeah, as if plenty of men wouldn’t have a baby with a rich woman if she was offering $100k/mo child support or some shit.

The numbers work differently if you swap the sexes like that, but the motivations don’t.

Coffee?

Tea?

SEGA!!!

Yeah it’s depressing and stupid, but for what it’s worth, it is much less about you and much more about all the bad faith fucknuggets out there who have spent decades learning to mimic good faith curious people.

Have you also not seen enough to learn why the “just asking questions” justification isn’t super effective around here?

It’s used as thinly veiled cover for spreading malicious bullshit while pretending the speaker isn’t lying to their audience. I’m not accusing you of this, in fact I’m explaining it hoping that you’re genuine.

Iirc that’s why the SR-71 was black. It radiates all the speed-generated heat more quickly.

You’ll have to spend some of those savings on industrial dehydrators though. It can be very difficult to get the texture of the powder right when you start grinding all willy nilly.

To me this just looks like a typical day that started with the best of intentions.

Feels like a strange move, from an American who is used to seeing the EU do things that should put our government to shame.

Are they trying to get the US to join the EU? Lol

Oh nice. Does your system FINALLY provide enough addreses for every Planck volume in the observable universe? It’s been frickin amateur hour, this internet thing.

We had that in the US too, commonly called “cash for clunkers.”

But I think it was really more about the economic stimulus than the environmental impact. But I’m sure the environmental side helped justify it.

…so who is going to break the news to all the gun nuts using non-binary triggers?

Same, but it’s also troubling because it suggests how easy all this underhanded shit must be for the bad actors with half a brain that know how to shut the fuck up and quietly enjoy their ill-gotten gains.

Just chilling outside is an underrated activity.

Over the past several years I put a privacy fence around the back yard and built a nice koi pond to sit next to. Sitting there, because of course I have a sittin’ chair now like an old man, is both relaxing on its own and is a great time to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern life (even Lemmy!). I often leave my phone in the house, but even when I have it with me it’s become easier to ignore.

For those of us lucky to have the big three mental health issues, it’s a nice self-care treatment for anxiety and depression, and an opportunity to practice controlling my attention. But it’s in addition to my medications, not a replacement for them.

But obviously it’s not the solution for everybody, and not even possible for everybody either. But just getting outside to some natural sights and sounds is what really matters. I’m sure it’s even better if exercise is involved (hiking, etc) but I have legit issues with both heat and sun so I keep my oasis close to my air conditioned home.

Yeah, at least they’re sticking to their ideals and their suggestion would help the environment. But as you pointed out, it just won’t/can’t happen in much of the US.

In fact, I just recently went on a road trip from Pennsylvania to Tennessee that took me through parts of West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky. I can’t think of any places I saw where public transportation would be feasible. Maybe long-distance trains to augment air travel as an option, but nothing last-mile.

I saw more signs about reasons god might send me to hell, or how Trump is awesome, than any form of public transit. Even buses. Because I saw zero of any of it.
