You are correct and I don't get why you're getting downvoted. A local news station giving a shit about someone across the pond's rules and regulations? Just block it and be done. Oh no, 10 people in the EU can't find up

Bitcoin mining required more energy. Thus, ramped up power plants to burn MORE fuel. Burning more fuel means more emissions. More green house gases. More global warming. IF bitcoin was going to push energy companies to go more green. It wou

Oh, I totally agree to the magazine route as well. I actually like some of the geopolitics ones. Even of views I don't agree with. They're at least thoughtful essays.

Not if you’ve been following cnn for the past 5 years. I quit following them about the beginning of the year and this article shows nothing has changed.

Because China lacks its own greedy folks and America is the birthplace and only stronghold of greed. Never is China’s history have there been humanitarian violations. That’s only happened in Western cultures. Philanthropy is a widespread, e

Yea I’ve seen it. Problem is, I’ve found most online “news” is sensational and shallow as hell. CNN is not the only guilty party. So, again, I mainly go to it because they’re a great source to know who died today. Beyond that, their opinion

I found my own solution a while back. I started reading newspapers. The up to the minute need for news is total and utter bullshit for like 95% of the population. Being a day behind on news is literally no different to me than knowing withi

They’re the poster child situation why municipalities “should” convert to public grid. I quote should just because I don’t have a big dog in the fight, but I do somewhat agree. There’s a lot of interesting stories on the subject that should

What you’re describing is the amazing benefit of both blind faith and confidence. There’s jokes about piano teachers teaching kids extremely difficult classical sheets and the kids nailing it. Then someone says “how do you get them to play

Actually, more and more municipalities are buying back their grids and making them public. It’s a slow movement but more places see that’s its better to put their utilities in public hands. There are some 30 some odd small cities and counti

Only thing I really miss, memorizing phone numbers and just somehow always knowing where all my friends were no matter what. We could always find each other in town because we just... knew. Now if I go with friends to a store, I have to tex

Just an observation. To all the folks who say we all need to consume less, not drive cars, yada yada. Et toi? Y’all love telling other people they have to do xyz to save the world. Are you ACTUALLY doing just that of which you say you must

Well, this brings to light the concept from the movie I, Robot. Is it a crime when an ai kills someone, unintentional or not, or is it an industrial accident? If it's suppose to replace a human task due to a "level of intelligence

Still red where I’m at. But we get actual tourists down here :P In truth, I’m not opposed to the paper straws. They’re only really annoying when you’re at a bar. Alcohol seems to unwrap them faster than soda. I can let them sit in a non alc

Forgot to mention: seagulls. I’m guessing other birds too, but seagulls mostly pick trash from landfills and carry it around. Especially the soda rings if it gets caught around their neck.

Bars and restaurants near the ocean. Thus, it's people with their drinks that walk near the ocean and are assholes. Plus, straws blow in the wind by decent and fair accidents.

Floridan here. All coastal bars/restaurants must have paper straws. Generally, they're single drink use. You might get a second glass worth if you drink fast. I don't really notice a wax on them. If they happen to have any...

That’s interesting. I never thought about that. Any idea on the effectiveness of doing this? It just seems dicey to me with quite a lot of risk with minimal benefit. I’d rather pet a rabid raccoon than be the PR manager that pulls this stun

Hold up, there's a problem here. A "gang" is not where some folks get together and decide to have a club together with a hang out. A gang is a club where they practice criminal enterprise as an organization. There are plenty

Isn't Shanghai the city where there are food delivery services to traffic jams because they take so long? Or is that some myth that I'm spreading?

I got more on a soap box there because I lost my cool a bit. But yea, sales and clearances were our vital methods of staying within budget. Hell, there was one week I survived on a 96 cent clearance bag of assorted bread from Walmart. But o

They can buy in bulk... unlike grocery stores? Portioning food for you at a premium because you can’t adult? Goto the store and back? Like, pick up a head of garlic, go home, then pick up carrots, go home, etc? Most folks in America do a on
