The framing should be that CO2 emissions destroy the very foundations of our life.

Others already chipped in the obvious arguments (onlinereading, other hobbies). I want to talk about a successful magazine instead: Retro Gamer UK. It's still alive and kicking and well worth a read. It started as an "also-ran&quo

Temu and Shein do use loopholes in Europe/Germany, at least in Germany the reporting (and politicians lamenting) on such has increased recently so there will probably be some rule changes, most probably regarding the 150 euro minimum f

climate change certainly will (and does already) impact real estate. But shouldn't remote work change the real estate markets much more & sooner in that new office buildings are not really worth it to build anymore and thus housing

Yes. I mean one just has to look at the last picture of the article with the Hindenburg burning. Not even the best propagandist could save this disaster.

what if the fine was giving up some shares to the government? With such a rule, after enough fines, the company would basically automatically become a public company.

I think it's more annoying when the quote is (more or less) directly before the actual same text (like here). As such, it has no helpful function for the normal reader - it's only annoying (but might help the skim reader or rather

I'd bet a simple loudspeaker with pink noise wouldn't fare worse (as in: that's basically what is helping here, too).

I replayed 3 and 4 a few years ago. And I have to say that the jokes in 4 were better. Who is with me? ;)

actually, I found their relationship in Return to Monkey Island really weird. In that Elaine forgives basically everything that Guybrush does, even in the last act. It's (somehow) understandable wrt to the ending itself, but it certa

yeah but on the other hand a perfectly fine ipad mini from 2012 is basically unusable since 2017 or so because you cannot use most apps anymore since you cannot update the OS anymore and old versions of apps are depreciated.

so maybe there actually is a market for sub 6" smartphones? I found it to be insane that there did not even exist an android one (except for outdoor ones) when I looked, when 6 years ago there still were options for sub 5" ones.

you are first and foremost responsible with how you live your own life, not how others live theirs. However, how you live does change the life of others around you (however miniscule it may be). Thus, you did the most important thing and

I find interesting that no one (yet) in OP or in the comments has talked about my main complaint about playing Poker as a living: it's a zero sum game where you basically only take money from other people. It's not productive. For

what I don't understand is why they only count in multiples of 5. It's the same with EVs (it doesnt have to be 2030 or 2035, it could also be 2032 etc.). It strikes me as needlessly imprecise. But I guess that's what you get

I dont know about which years you talk about but at least in the early 2000s it was probably most common to let yourself be lead through Normal/Nightmare by others (e.g. clan members), which was a very nice part of companionship that h

Actually, yes. It was a journey starting from regulating all kinds of monitor settings (brightness, contrast etc. The "warm" setting helps too.) and then just trying out my sunglasses which actually helped but were a little too da
