Debated more NATO shills on Lemmy

Which is ironic because I remember one major thing back in 2012 was that while the LEDs were more expensive, they pay for themselves first because you spend less on electricity and also air conditioning due to less waste heat, but also because you’d go through more incandescent and CFLs before you have to replace an LED bulb.

Wait, a pedestrian-child collision resulted in a fatality? How hard was the guy’s stride?

Also, holy shit a child is more likely to die from a collision in a car than walking?!

Also also, this data is from 2020, during the pandemic when a lot of people were isolating and not going out. One can only imagine that the typical numbers are much higher.

A good solarpunk should also include working from home as an option for any job that you can work from home on, and any good economic system should protect workers including their right to paid sick leave if they’re feeling unwell, as well as make service jobs like getting your groceries or food delivered not exploitative as fuck so you you’re not super morally conflicted when you need it.

Pretty nifty display of what hash manipulation is and why weak hashes aren’t secure.

Might just be the types of solar punk communities I used to frequent (and have since left) then.

That was just an example, feel free to replace Tesla with any EV manufacturer.

My biggest issue with solar punk is that people think they don’t have to change anything unsustainable about their lives because the tech will fix everything. “I don’t have to take the bus, I’ll just wait for Tesla’s new electric car that had ivy growing out of it!”

Also, the corset in the community pic. Dead giveaway. No one who respects women and want to engage in informative discussions with them is using that as the icon, as their first choice, for their community.

It’s really depressing how much Google regulates what content can have ads on them with capricious bullshit like “no swearing”, but the ads themselves? Anything goes.

We need a Victims of Capitalism foundation.

Lemmy.ml is not the main instance. There is no main instance. That’s the point of the fediverse.

Related: In the West, body modifications like tattoos and piercings make you less likely to get through job interviews and are generally seen as very unprofessional. This is because they are associated with, one, indigenous people and people of colour, and two, poor people.

In contrast, other body modifications like nose jobs, facelifts, fillers, botox, etc are done mostly by rich white people, so they are seen favourably.

Traffic lights or even street lights (for actual streets) isn’t the issue here, the giant parking lot with hundreds of lights illuminating nothing is the issue.

If there’s no way to prevent a horrible side effect, then it’s just as bad as if that effect was intentional.

This just confirms that it’s still going.

the cause of poverty is not this, but the so-called neoliberalism that completely distorted this original idea due to the corruption, greed and selfishness of an elite, which enriches itself by cost and the work of the population. It is the continuation of feudalism.

That’s… the result of capitalism.

I love to use the methanol example to illustrate this: Methanol by itself isn’t that toxic, no more toxic than regular ethanol. But once metabolized in your body, it becomes formaldehyde and formic acid, and about 5-10 ml of pure methanol can turn into enough of those to kill you. So the methanol molecule itself is fairly benign, but you still shouldn’t drink it.

Anyone know what the 32 countries and regions are?
