Push mowers are actually best for the grass because of the scissor-like action, especially if you cut it low. I use them in combination with a scythe to cut long grass (I let it grow in the colder months).

It's just scaremongering to mention this and imply that this could actually happen as a consequence of current CO₂ levels. Sea levels have been changing throughout all of human history and they've never drowned a large city instan

I really don't like imprecise headlines like this one, where many people with superficial knowledge of the topic will be made to believe that CO₂ levels were never higher. But they were and the planet was much more hospitable, even the

Are we meant to be happy through ignorance? I'd rather be anxious and motivated to improve my life by fixing the issues that upset me, even in a "hyper-competitive" environment like social media... There's nothing wrong

Being neutral means having ties with everyone, not just the West. Austria is a good example for this, we decided to be neutral and were between East Bloc and West during the cold war and all related tensions, yet never worried due to strict

Russia demanded a neutral (not NATO-affiliated) Ukraine as one of their peace conditions.

They might sell 100% to someone else before that happens, like Microsoft or the Saudis.

I'd imagine that they have to handle all the censorship requests made by governments, shareholders and paying users.

If enemy troops are hiding there and shooting at you, what are your choices?

The endgame is to avoid them where possible in order to minimize the risk. It's not absurd and very reasonable. People stick to all kinds of obscure diets and most are not going insane.

That's a lot of different issues in a single post. IT is getting boring and a lot of things are just being reinvented badly, that's true. Aside from some very small niches that might be worth exploring if you still care. That most

Yes, because it doesn't contain the necessary information to interpret it and on top of that it's hard to read at highway speeds and thus dangerous.

This has nothing to do with the article really, but stupid signs will always be a problem as long as they exist. In Austria, there are signs on the highway that allow electric cars to obey a higher speed limit (130 Km/h instead of 100

> 250 tonnes is A LOT to lift. Look how big a hot air balloon needs to be to lift a few passengers in a basket. Does it scale? Can you strap 10 of those things together (perhaps using some sort of scaffolding) to lift 10x the weight?

Babies and kids have a lot of fun with sugar, does that mean it's OK to consume it recklessly?

No. Scroll down to "Excess mortality", look at 15-44 and 45-64 years graphs. The light blue line is 2021. It shows an upward trend that goes way beyond the ranges for 2020 and 2019.

Official numbers for Europe are available at https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/ They have graphs with excess deaths by age groups and you can see that 2021 looks worse than 2020, with a noticeable upwards trend start

It's the same here in Europe, where nobody talks about Fentanyl.

So what is this 244KB JS taking 1300ms to execute on the simulated G4 actually doing? It contains mostly parts of the Closure Library ( https://developers.google.com/closure/library/ ).

It should not be hard to automatically convert code using such generics libraries to use specialized type-specific code instead for better performance.

Very sad... I guess this kind of censorship / denialism is becoming an accepted practice in certain circles. I would have thought the moderators here are bigger than that.

Forcing merchants to clearly display country of origin and having filters for it would quickly improve the situation. But there are worse product categories in this regard - try children's toys...
