Looks like this will be changing for the better soon: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-indu... Even plastic-backed paper (ie, not PFAS) is much better than a fully plastic container, so I su

What we started doing is a) ordering out from restaurants less b) saving those plastic takeout boxes and reusing them for leftovers when we do go visit (we keep them in our car trunk) c) bringing our own reusable utensils for those restaur

This exactly - the existing hypocrisy leads to religious organizations essentially being tax-exempt political organizations.

If only we did what they're doing to cut emissions. They put up more solar every quarter than the rest of the world does every year.

Microwave popcorn is an abomination: https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/eating-microwave-pop... When they were old enough (like 6yo) I taught my kids to pop their own popcorn over the oven. 1 bag of kernels

What is required is a worldview that isn't based on conspicuous consumption, but balanced growth. Left as an exercise for the reader if human nature can be compatible with this worldview.

Is it even rechargeable? Nothing indicates this is any replacement to e.g. LiPoFe batteries in devices like AirPods.

Great job on finding the one thing (perhaps 2 including pocket) compared to the extensive list of past transgressions by Google's Chrome team. I greatly disagree with this kind of whataboutism brought up to whitewash the biggest offend

Once the bike is dropped drive-side and the derailleur hanger is bent, all it takes is a normal ride to catch the derailleur in the spokes and you get a very expensive repair.

Anyone running tubeless who doesn't also bring a tube or two in their underseat bag is not doing it right. Having a properly packed underseat bag is essential to any long ride. Also I have never run tubeless at 25mm. Most folks I see r

It's amusing because Linux started as a hobbyist solution. I think the results will speak for themselves. Asahi Linux is quite usable with some limitations. Corporate support for Linux doesn't guarantee usability based on past

No but you can run Linux on the Apple m-series laptops using Asahi Linux. This is a laptop chip, right?

Land value tax does not make land worthless. It makes land speculation less “rent-seeking”. If you’re not doing anything meaningful with the land, then it’s not gonna be profitable to own.

I’ve lived in France for a year and visited numerous times for a few weeks or a month. I have eaten quite well over there including foods that aren’t exactly healthy. I never gained weight while in France. I often come back having lost weig

I’m hoping the Apple version would do things like “make me a playlist of new artists based on songs I use to work out” or “play songs from my library that I like but haven’t heard in the past 6 months”

Apple’s ad revenue is at single digit billions per annum. They’re not putting them in apps or websites I use (because it’s not mandatory) and I think if you ask around most people would agree. So if there’s enshittification , you’d have to

You’re talking about Tesla right? The one where he essentially did a hostile acquisition then booted one of the real co-founders? You can’t honestly say he founded that company.

If the author wants to crowdsource the funding of the next operation (if needed) this story would be an amazing push. I sure would donate to solving more cases!

Musk was always the money and hype guy - he has personally built nothing. Tesla was not founded by him, SpaceX is Gwynne's baby, not his. Twitter still hasn't recovered from being X'd by Musk.

I think you don't understand Apple's brand. They would much rather charge $100 for wheels for the Mac Pro or double the cost for RAM upgrades than look cheap and have ads on basic apps.
