Universe is possibly much older than we think it is.

I wouldn't put too much stock into personal carbon footprint estimates.

It's just a way of re-framing the carbon problem away from those actually responsible for it and turn it into to a battle between folks arguing who is more virtuous.

Thought experiment:

What if we removed the "people" from the problem and just looked at the geographic area?

Does a rural 10 square mile produce as much GHG as an urban 10 square mile?

When you analyze it based on personal carbon footprint you are ignoring business and industry and focusing on residential.

This is by design, so those responsible aren't even included in the equation.

Marriage is more like a good wood fired furnace. If you put in the effort it will keep you warm and happy. If you forget to tend to the logs and the fire your home will grow cold and unwelcoming.

Using vertical space keeps code line diffs so much cleaner.

"Journalist" are paid to tell a narrative not the truth. The four estate is dead don't kid yourself.

Your not one of them. You're also rational.

Cheers!

I do raise meat animals.

This is life. We must eat. Large scale plant agriculture is also destructive. There is no escape.

It's not an addiction it's a matter of human biology. We are meat eaters. Shall we regulate the CO2 we exhale?

Animals converting plants to meat/protein is more efficient than humans directly eating an entirely plant based diet.

Monoculture agriculture is terrible for wildlife. Going plant based doesn't save the planet.

I agree. It was obvious to anyone paying attention. But most people still believe there was some truth to it because the media lied for years. The report was important to get those people back to reality.

Ditto. It was a ridiculous wait.

Thoughts on the replacement unit they sent? I don't like the new one. The pressure dynamics don't feel the same especially on exhale.

Of course! Just give up a little freedom here, and a little freedom there, and once we're all in prison cells we will have all the security we need! Common sense.

I credit Visual Basic with sparking my interest in computers and programming. It hit the perfect balance of power and approachability for beginners. Curious to try compiling some of my ancient projects.

This is a nonsensical response. I never argued anything about legally calling anything flour or not.

OP said: > There is nothing unsafe, unnatural, or otherwise „bad“ about using insects for food

I'm refuting that statement.

There are safety concerns with insect based protein. There are aspects that could be considered "bad".

I'll assume you incorrectly replied to the wrong post because that makes more sense.
