Or people could just buy unwrapped lettuce. No one is asking anyone to quit lettuce altogether.

It’s much more polluting (why wrap salad in a plastic bag?), promotes bacteria growth (and disease like in the present case), and further removes us from food in its original form.…

It boggles my mind that people would buy salads in bags. Instead of just a head of lettuce like the rest of the world.

I was at a dealership not that long ago to buy a new car for someone. The seller explained us how a lease was so much better financially than outright buying. He was completely wro…

Much less than it discourages its use. Tobacco lobbies are fighting price increases tooth and nail, they wouldn't if it didn't work. Countries where the price has gone up have seen…

Good, making them very expensive is one of the most effective ways to reduce smoking and all associated suffering, cancers, health costs, deaths.

You’d think that for risking jail time etc the price would be much higher.

That’s not Africa only. When a corruption scandal comes up (bribing, lobbying), I’m often surprised at how cheap it was to buy the official. It’s often in the 10–50k eur region.

Same on my kobo. The only thing I was missing was the kobo like Home Screen where it shows all your books no matter how deeply nested. But of course there is a plugin for that: htt…

Oh ok this is fine then.

Yes

Yet another problem of carbon credits. Just an accounting trick which ignores reality. Reality is catching up either way, even if it’s not convenient in excel.

The French president notoriously said a few weeks ago in June during the third (!!!) heat wave of this summer “who could have predicted [it]”… that’s the level, at the highest laye…

Never on that scale. This is unprecedented. France asked other EU members for help as the firefighters are overwhelmed and the fire uncontrollable. There hasn’t been an evacuation …

People live there. So do animals and insects. Never mind the air pollution.

A couch is more comfortable to sit on that an hydroponics system, all else being equal. I’d pick the couch every time.

In a mind boggling number of companies, “productive” measures output, not value.

I think this is reason enough. The US (and others) are turning a little more despotic and totalitarian every day. Imagine what they can do with such tools? Same reason why for exam…

Sad but true. Even Camacho was more reasonable.

From a purely greedy/capitalistic standpoint, this strategy made sense. If Presdient Camacho can call a sport’s federation and have a penalty canceled and the administration is as …

DeepL is pretty decent.

Ok I give up. Let’s agree to disagree and go touch grass outside.
