I could just the same argue that neutering is in fact the inexcusable and utmost selfish behavior. None of my pets are neutered, and I very much want them to breed in their life.

This is the case of many predators in the wild: eat the guts/organs first (often with the prey still alive).

Remark from our vet, from feeding raw to our 3 cats: "we've never seen cats in such a good shape". Two of them have been on raw since kitten, one of which was pretty young and in pretty bad shape while being fed commercial cr

Absolutely true, they need organ meat too, which I was classifying as "meat". Though, point taken, unless you slaughter livestock by yourself (which we do), it's pretty much impossible to find. Even our chicken ABSOLUTELY LO

Raw meat. Cats and dogs are carnivore.

I'm sure intermediary exchanges (either legal or illegal) will provide that service.

It's not illegal for a company operating in country X to own assert in country Y which would otherwise be illegal in company X. At worst, company X move its headquarter, delegate ownership to a subsidiary, etc.

France and Germany are not "the Euro" and IIRC can't decide on their own on EU monetary policies. If they were, we wouldn't be far from the colonial era.

That's completely false. Today, you don't need to interact with the NYSE to buy stock listed in the NYSE. There is plenty on intermediaries providing the service for a fee.

French citizen (even with French addresses) are not prohibited to do things which would be illegal in France but legal where they currently reside. So KYC is utterly useless in this case.

I wonder how many of these 941 employees will go out of the office with an unrecyclable plastic lined cardboard coffee cup, documenting their exploit and "activism" on all the major social media with their brand new iPhone 11... A

That's a myth. When was the last time you reviewed the technical aspect of heavily specific platform code in the glibc ?

45000 sq.km is about 10% of the size of France, there is no way all that land become grazing & fields overnight.

Really subjective as well. It's just as easy to argue that calories dense meat/fat is more efficient that calories starved greens or fattening processed carbs.

Nothing changed, beside world-scale NIMBY'ism. The choice to be made is simple, either lower life standards to Bangladesh level (the only level sustainable at +7 billions inhabitants) or pay the unsustainable price. No amount of tech o

IIRC, the trick is to time filesystem access and deduce you're running from RAM rather than disk, thus in incognito mode.

Good to know, this trick will become more and more useful to know in the west as well!

"Political refugee attempting to exercise their right to seek asylum from persecution" can do so LEGALLY at any official border crossing. Crossing the border ILLEGALLY makes you a criminal, by definition.

I've been donating about 3' high pile of Amazon boxes every 6 month or so to local businesses. Well, actually was , before I got in retail myself.

Non-descrip boxes hides their content. Shipping in manufacturer packaging litterally tells everybody what you're buying.

Plastic waste in the ocean pretty much never comes from any western countries. The "pacific patch" comes mainly from Africa and Asia.

by alacombe 7y ago
This is utter nonsense. From all I can say, Amazon has been moving away from recyclable / re-usable packaging and is pretty bad at optimization. Paper padded envelope have moved recently to plastic ones (say, over the past 6 month). No
