A developer wanted to build a facility to capture carbon. Locals saw an environmental menace.
I have a cool idea for a facility to capture carbon in a non-menacing way. What we do is get a big chunk of land and plant a bunch of trees on it, then - oh, shit, I just invented a forest.
I mostly listen to death-doom rather than strict death metal, but there’s a fair bit of that out there. My two faves in the genre:
Draconian has clean female vocals alongside growled male.
Swallow the Sun has a wide range of vocal styles, but getting increasingly cleaner pretty much every album (along with clean female vocals on a lot of tracks).
Again, this is death-doom so a lot of the stuff will be a little slower-tempo than straight death.
Except it’s actually the best of both worlds for the rich - as far as I know, a lot of these companies are publicly traded AND receive public funding.
Good call. Everything is Zeus’s type.
I guess this makes the Midwest the taint of America.
Tell Rizzo he’s one of the cutest pups I’ve ever seen.
I’d start by deciding what your goals are, so you know what to work towards in terms of hardware, software, and processes. Once you’ve got some sort of an idea, explore ways to accomplish it and post your questions in this community. It can be super overwhelming to get started, but the research and problem-solving is half the fun.
I would legitimately love to see this. Sounds like a bit of a Forest Gump vibe, and your choice of Nicolas Cage feels perfect for this role.
I’m always going on about the dangers of microplastics to anyone who will listen but I’m doubtful that “[putting] humanity on notice” will have any effect at all. If our global response to the existential threat of climate change is any indication, we may as well start taking bets on which will kill us first.
To make a sizeable dent in microplastics in our environment we’ll have to rethink the entire concept of rubber tires, and that’s gonna be a non-starter with the monied interests and their propaganda machines. Also, synthetic clothing is gonna be a big one. Getting rid of plastic straws and shopping bags infuriated so many people in my country, so that’s gonna be crazy when people find out they’ll have to do without stretchy clothing. (And the straw/bag thing was essentially a token effort given the vastly higher volumes of single-use plastic across the supply chain).
I don’t mean to be a doomer about this - it’s very important that scientists bring this to light if we want to have any hope of bettering our world. It’s just frustrating feeling like I’ve been shouting into a void regarding this issue, even to those in my personal life.
I wish the article went into some detail about how the hell a 72-year-old fought in a war. I know people can be in good shape at that age, but I wouldn’t think they’d be in voluntarily joining a war shape.
Also, how did he end up in the custody of Russia? Captured, or just strolled into Moscow one day with his big balls clanging at each step.
I start to get weak and fussy if it’s 12:30 pm and I haven’t had lunch. Assuming I get lost in the woods after breakfast that means I have a good 3-4 hours to find a settlement before I drop dead of being a little bitch.
Mathematically it works out to half the cancer type 2 diabetes and stroke.
Edit: Fixed the disease
Pros: price
Cons: the watch doesn’t work and now you have lead poisoning
Classic Lemmy user, bringing not one but two laptops to a live show.
Given that I mostly play heavily-modded games, a run is usually “complete” when it is abandoned due to its inevitable TPS death.
I love this, but also found it hilarious - especially the towel as a helicopter blade trick and your description of it being “very undesirable for the fly.” I’m picturing your partner or housemate sighing and being like, “there they go again, herding flies.” I can definitely see it working though.
Good to know. I’ve only been using Proton for like 4 months now and have thus far generally liked the experience, but that’s too bad about your experiences with the Drive client. I’ve used several paid business suites over the years through work and they all have their issues though. The only one that was generally solid was Google’s and I’ve gradually taken steps to remove their products from my life so there’s no going back to them for me. It was also almost 10 years ago since I last used Google’s paid email/Drive, so maybe it’s also gone to shit.
I’ve actually meant to try that but haven’t yet gotten around to it. I’d still love an official app though, as sometimes 3rd party solutions don’t work great with cloud storage (at least in my experience).
What we’re begging for: A Linux client for Proton Drive
What we get: A fucking Bitcoin wallet
During a period with seemingly very little good news in the world, I really needed this. Assuming it was done for the optics it conveys, it’s some much needed reassurance that our allies actually have our back. Granted, we’re still absolutely fucked in the short term if the worst happens, it’s still nice to see.
