"The easiest way to support tropical rainforest is to eat less beef. The amazon is cleared for cattle grazing, much of which is imported into America."

The OP was clearly saying that the importation of beef into America was causing clearing of the Amazon, when the link is a bit more complicated. Yes, some things are a bit fungible in the world economy, some trade tariffs encourage things l

Source? From what I've seen, most beef imports into the US come from Canada, Mexico, then Australia. https://www.beefmagazine.com/beef-quality/update-us-cattle-e...

Cheese lasts a long time in the fridge, and even iceberg lettuce does as well. My local burger/micro-brewery has been sliding in quality for the last two years and I finally reached my tipping point. Normally, it's about $12 for a

I do see a lot of car decals with Calvin pissing on [insert name of hated automaker]. Now obviously these are unlicensed, but a lot of people obviously have no problem with it.

From what I've read, GMLRS using inertial guidance is good for a 7 meter CEP, while the GPS part brings that down to 5 meters [1]. 1. https://twitter.com/noclador/status/1532841072300380161?s=20...

This. Russia relies heavily on trains for logistics, so all their main depots will be near a railhead. Then they have to truck the supplies to the front. They're lacking in trucks so the further back they move the depots, the longer th

You keep saying "civil war." It was nothing of the sort. It was a Russian operation to seize the Donbass after the Maiden revolution. The 2022 invasion is just Russia being more overt instead of relying on "little green men.&

Putin has always been paranoid. He's ex-KGB, yet all of you apologists claiming that NATO pushed him into the Ukraine war ignore that he's a dictator who invades other countries, assassinates the opposition and media, steals from

Yes, please give the Soviets due credit for how well they treated the Eastern Bloc countries. The Czechs and Slovaks, along with the Hungarians might like a word with you, to point out a few extreme examples. Same with the rest of the Bloc

Governments insure a lot of things, some that are arguably idiotic. The US gov insures people who build houses right on the coast. The homeowners couldn't afford private insurance since the expected costs would be astronomical. So the

I grew up in a sleepy coastal town in California. Nothing special except beaches really. A racetrack where thoroughbreds races annually. Beautiful, but nice and sleepy. And then as California grew and any beach town became a tier 1 locale,

Pretty sure that Apple isn't manufacturing NAND chips. Now it might be hard to procure the 128GB chips, so Apple may be at the mercy of suppliers, or it might just be cheaper to buy a 256GB chip (and suffer slower perf).

Umm, Thunderbolt was developed by Intel, in cooperation with Apple. And IIRC, Apple is a member of the USB consortium. Too bad design by committee sucks and has led to the disaster that is USB-C.

I saw Tom Cruise at the Silverstone racetrack with Mercedes during the British Grand Prix. Seeing him without makeup was a huge change from how he looked in the latest Top Gun movie. He actually looked his age.
