Not sure your kitchen situation, but most homes have a microwave. Shouldn't that work?

Is that how it was defined in the article?

The word is icky, but so are the practices it describes. So I like the connotation denotation match.

Ah, I believe Coserv does their own delivery, as they were touting their preparedness for and reliability during the big freeze.

I find arguments against Mr Beast on the basis of his charity not being properly altruiatic worth considering. I'd be curious to see what percent of his companies pre-"giving" profits are given away vs the equivalent numbers

Given how often people online write to praise or condemn him, I'm surpised today is the first time I read about this.

I'm not sure. I vaguely rememeber the story about certain academics treating "the orangutan" as a great taboo that leads to endless fighting. Bizzare to an outsider, similar to my perception of the Diamond controversy.

I guess this is the historians' orangutan.

What is BoPET?

Is this new? Seems like a long present low hanging fruit.

I don't, I'm interested in origin spread, but I guess it's just an HN thing.

This I get, and have seen before (cool Mexican tv shows), but I'm more intersted in a detailed history of "USian"'s initial use and spread. So far I've only seen it on hn, but definitely more than I'd expect si

tldr: the commons seems undervalued by individuals You can just use an ad blocker, and don't get me wrong, I hate ads. But youtube ads don't load potentially malicious scripts (for now), and they provide the money that incentivize

This strikes me as eating the commons.

I'll drop a contrarian take. I love youtube premium. The content I "comsume" (yech!) is well worth the 12ish dollars. I could skip ads with a blocker, I could join every creator's patreon, I could watch/listen in f

The world needs carbon sequestration, plastics are full of hydrocarbons, recycling plastics is problematic. Seems like the problems complement themselves.

I agree, with a personal thought. This gets said often and it's true. But it's also self sustaining, and not just at a societal level, at an individual level. I previously worked with many people who lead full lives with minimal o
