You can always move away from that dense city. With booming property prices you should even profit in case you own the apartment, just sell it. I would also argue that small apartm…

A typical pilot switches aircraft type multiple times in their career. It's all about the cost and convenience ultimately, allowing same pilots to fly both 737MAX and the older 737…

Yeah, toxic workplaces are usually toxic to also people other than those belonging to particular minorities.

"Facebook is the best site in the world for dating and for expanding your social horizons/circle" Maybe for boomers and some emerging markets. It appears to be losing popularity ve…

Bruh here in Europe there's a thing called welfare state. The gov can pay poor people to compensate.

It would already have a significant impact if people stopped (most likely against their own will) buying anything they don't really need. Brainless consumerism, buying material stu…

Sweden quite simply took way more poor migrants (many of them for humanitarian reasons) from developing world than it could effectively integrate, and that failed integration resul…

That's why individuals should not have the freedom of choice. China's actions against the virus proved rather effective because the government actually has authority there. Western…

This. I like WFH as a concept, but I feel like it would require a separate office room to really work, and right now I don't have the space for that. Working from living room just …

Or, instead of burying cut trees underground you could build houses from it. That's what we do in Finland where forests are plentiful. This way you effectively capture the carbon f…

If exporting freedom involves bombing civilians you're supposed to free and spraying their country with herbicides, then perhaps you should rethink your strategy. The Vietnam war w…

That is true. Not a major concern for most shorter people though. As a teenager I once did a 12 hour flight (with refuel stop) on a charter 757 with 29" seat space. Didn't find it …

Many plants are still pretty easy to grow from seed, as long as you use good soil and find a spot with plenty of sunlight. Tomatoes and chili seem particularly easy, even some comm…

Yeah, it's one thing to question how historical figures are portrayed, and another to support actively erasing historical figures who did bad things by present day's moral standard…

Cherrypicking only parts of history you like to be remembered is something totalitarians have always enjoyed. It's always a bad idea if you believe in freedom, human rights and dem…

I think buying new expensive laptops for personal use is waste of money anyway, unless you do something like heavy video editing or gaming where you really need the power. For my d…

It's safer to invest both in green power and nuclear. As long as we get rid of fossil fuels ASAP it's a victory, we can always replace those nuclear plants with solar/wind in 50 ye…

Nuclear is still better than coal and gas. At this rate we will never limit temperature below 2.1C pre-industrial, so anything that gets helps getting rid of fossil fuels ASAP is a…

More energy in absolute terms, or per financial transaction? I mean, what matters is whether replacing the entire financial system with Bitcoin would produce more emissions through…

Your argument is like claiming that a private jet is more economical than a 747 jumbo jet, because it burns less fuel. Energy consumption per transaction is what really matters, an…

The ER vs LR thing is easy to explain. The most realistic Boeing 777 simulation addon available for Microsoft FS at the time included only 200LR and 300ER models, so using 200LR wo…

Humans have been pretty good at improving their lives, but not so good at doing it sustainably. I'm not very impressed until we get the climate change under control and build an ec…

Nuclear power has its issues, but I think burdening future generations with old nuclear plants is better than burdening them with a catastrophic climate change. I would much rather…

Some more modern aircraft indeed have such protections, but this was an old 737 without any such stuff. Simply pushing the control column fully forward would send the plane into a …

Even if another pilot was present, from that altitude a suicidal co-pilot could easily cause an unrecovable dive and crash. If two pilots pull/push controls to opposite directions …
