Agreed. This isn't really a threat from the perspective of the animals. (Or, well, it is, but the magnitude of the loss isn't very high. Maybe it's like a death row inmate dying of covid instead of lethal injection scheduled

You are correct and Euro comes with restrictions on creating currency for macroeconomic reasons. This was in the limelight during the 2008-2012 Greek debt crisis, and also came up around that time for other EU countries (Spain and Portugal

Quite true. I was assuming that the incomplete snapshot was a transmission error or storage error. It's quite possible that the bug was an error of omission inside the data itself (e.g. someone accidentally removed an important key-val

How large is your composter? Many of the "bio-plastics" require high heat composting to decompose, and even then may require a large amount of time. Unless you've got a massive compost pile with adequate aeration and turning,

"Stop using single use items" is a REALLY hard goal. Outside of extreme homesteading/off-grid situations, I don't think it's actually possible. At the grocery, I can purchase some produce and dried goods (from bulk

Well, parts of the US government engage in arms trafficking and drug trafficking (sometimes at the same time, as in Iran-Contra). I hope they don't do CSAM trafficking or human trafficking, but I wouldn't be surprised at the least
