LOL, per capita. How is that metric useful in any way, besides deceiving people and accuse other countries of being the bad guys? It's industry which pollutes, not people. That's why it's so pointless to blame plastic straws

I think part of the reason why China pollutes and in general has awful business practices is because their regulation are not in line with ours. If they were—and if they didn't steal IP from Western companies—their products would be as

Yes, that's why I don't buy anything made in China (unless I have to).

China is the biggest pollutant by far: over twice as much CO2 as the USA, and of course they've been poisoning everything with toxic waste for decades. Why can't governments stop all Chinese imports until the get in line, instead

I have 6 accounts: A for income, ex. when I get a check I put 80% here B taxes, when I get a check I put 20% here (taxes in Poland are 18%) then: C for business expenses, I know how much I spend each month, and I wire that amount each month

I don't know what's more pathetic—that somebody will go out of his way because of a santa hat, or that the project actually removed the hat. What a clown world we live in!

Seems like the Green New Deal (since they mention it in the article) is more about socialism than not the environment..? I'm wondering why people are still using that term.

Sure, there are plenty of users that still use Windows XP, but I guess it doesn't make financial sense to support them. The article has a click-baity headline that makes it seem like evil Google is banning users on Linux, while reality

Don't most Linux users use Chrome and Firefox..?

Publications (Engadget in this case) keep leaving details out in the the headline to make it more click-bait, and the result is that there are at least 10 articles/month claiming that "NASA just found water/ice on Mars!!!&quo

Get enough sleep (most important I guess), don't do drunks nor drink alcohol. I'm only good at _giving_ advice, but I don't think there's any secret besides those things..?

You can't even write the insult you're talking about, how can you compare with "pedo guy", who no one has a problem writing anywhere? Obviously they're a bad comparison.

What's the insult you're referring to? Can you write it here..? Cool, then you can see that they're not comparable.

“Pedo guy was a common insult used in South Africa when I was growing up,” Mr Musk said in a court filing as part of a failed request to have the case thrown out of court. "It is synonymous with ‘creepy old man’ and is used to insult a

Why don't they though? I'm in Europe and school is free. I also went to college in New Orleans, and my classmates got $700/mo. from the government if they stayed in school (no idea how, though).

I love it. When you visit Excite, there's a message saying they're redesigning their site: http://www.excite.com/ . When do you ever need to do that, rather than doing the redesign and then publishing it whenever i

Gimp and LibreOffice are usable? Fonts are so broken on Linux—which is the platform that would need this the most—that you can barely select dropdown options if you're on a hidpi monitor.
