That’s a valid problem, I want also to point out that there are lids made out of polystyrene and people sometimes put hot food in styrofoam (also polystyrene). That plastic barely biodrades at all and is not stable at moderately high temperatures.

Also, even though PLA has 12 more particles PE might be a lot more damaging since PLA is biodegradable. Although the jury is still out on PLA and how efficiently the body can get rid of it PE is much much more likely to stay and accumulate.

Some companies think end to end encryption is when you check the content on both ends.

The brain calculation could be simplified to C° * 2 (1 - 10%) + 32. It’s easier to double and remove 10%.

25C - > 50 - > 45 - > 77F

I have found a weird way to memorise the numbers.

Working week with half Friday and hour lunch break 9 to 5 is 32 hours per week.

I literally said no my wife the other day “You know, I think ‘Don’t negotiate with terrorists’ applies here”

Next topic: When and when not to pronounce a consonant as schwa /ə/.

Spoiler: It depends

Not a fan of his but eurostar is getting some much needed competition.

My kid is getting close to 2y and he’s getting into limit testing now. Wish me luck

100 is body temp so you can use that one to convert the highs. No idea what freezing would be in F

Down votes probably because they’re less of a problem than expected they would be 15 years ago but still problematic. Very large regions in Africa/Asia still deal with overpopulation and poverty although India and China have made some massive progress in the last 15 years. For semaglutide it’s still early days, nobody expected there to be an actual general drug against obesity but more long term studies are still needed.

Latin American Spanish might disagree so both sin and thin pass. Book came out before the languages split after all.

The filler words do carry meaning just not content although using them every time establishes a new baseline. They can be used to convey vibes, to harden, soften or communicate lack of confidence for example.

If you kinda/sorta deleted a person’s account, you still deleted the account but you are implicitly saying you didn’t mean to for example. Lowkey can be a modifier to mean you don’t feel strongly about something.

Pessimism reduces the fight. CO2 is an energy by product so using green energy is the actual solution, switching all industries to it is the tricky part. Green energy is a necessary first step for that to happen.

Just an FYI, there’s enough time left and it’s too late are both fossil fuel propaganda. We’re currently on a collision course to very bad but pretty bad to bad is still doable.

Not too long ago predictions estimated 4° warming but we’re now in the 2-2.5° range. There’s plenty of exciting stuff happening in batteries, solar and wind and countries are actively getting more involved because it makes economic sense.

There’s the curious case of India where it’s starting to look like that they’re leap frogging straight to renewable just like they leap frogged land line phones. Then there’s China making a massive switch to renewables, USA installing modest amount of solar even though going against politically entrenched fossil fuels, oil price shocks making the case for renewables being a strategic as well as economic policy.

The tide is turning, it’s long overdue but there’s an actual end in sight. Climate change is not a fight you win, it’s a marathon of going from the age of fire to the age of electricity to save a sizable fraction of humanity.

Yeah, I have an ikea metal one that works pretty well which I haven’t used in a while. My kettle broke a week ago so now I have one with temperature setting so things are becoming interesting.

If things go well I might upgrade to a funnel, hand grinder, pour-over setup which in theory should be a complete coffee setup.

As a programmer I must upvote

I don’t have a coffee machine so I’m a connoisseur of instant coffees available in my region. I’ve tried a bunch of brands but still get a coffee at a cafe sometimes. There are definitely good ones out there so don’t be put off if you come across one that’s absolute shit.

I know I’m putting forward a series but Blood of Zeus has one of the best soundtrack work I’ve heard. It feels epic, thematic and is actually tailored to each scene and the characters in it.

It’s like Peter and the Wolf on steroids turned into a proper composed orchestra set in Greek mythology on every episode. Writing and voice acting is good enough but the show becomes one of my favorites because of the music.

Yeah, it’s so bad because it’s so easy to do right.

It almost exists as the Michigan left
