Else, Jaws can’t get you if you’re nowhere close to the sea

Until they release a Jaws/Sharknado crossover.

I mean, you can. Probably shouldn’t though.

Osmosis

VPN becomes VPS and life goes on.

The VPNs will be harder to ban. Not just from a technical standpoint, but politically as well. Big businesses will be absolutely opposed to VPN bans.

Not all of them. Some of the carbon atoms will have decayed into (I think) nitrogen.

We talking movie Thanos, or comic book Thanos?

The problem is, unless things change drastically, that is the trajectory the US is on.

Until one of the other branches of government decides to grow a spine, Trump is free to do whatever he wants.

I work in a factory making turbine engines, if I worked in a factory making 50k$ watches we would produce just as much CO2.

You absolutely would not. Not even remotely close.

Also, you’re ignoring the emissions over the lifetime of the thing. As soon as the watch is manufactured, it’s emissions contribution is done. That turbine will continue generating emissions over it’s entire existence.

Not by the usual definition. The carbon, etc that used to form the cyanobacteria is completely broken down and formed into miscellaneous hydrocarbons. There’s no petrified remains, nor rock impressions of the bacteria.

Many people do this.

Many people are insane.

Just tested. It’s Ctrl+right, not Ctrl+left.

Edit: also, no-one says that the cell size has to remain default. 34 million pages is rookie numbers.

The loyal cult is the result of Stockholm syndrome.

“Extensive manual reading” Really? Two seconds of skimming is extensive reading to this guy?

Maybe I’m the exception here, but this thing reads to me like a long list of non-issues. I specifically don’t want my phone fast charging. It’s bad for the battery. I’ll slow charge overnight. People having to keep track of multiple cables is a result of them trying to save $2 and buying the cheapest possible cables. Buy good cables with the highest data transfer speed you will require and forget about it. They are all backwards compatible.

The point of USB-C wasn’t to make everything compatible with everything always, the point was to get rid of proprietary connectors, and unify the 4 different USB connector types commonly in use.

6 months? Cars had them for years.

Because this is Lemmy, I feel like I have to ask, Linux support? Or is it Windows-only for now?

The kind of waste I’m talking about doesn’t give two fucks about proportionality. CO2 in the atmosphere makes no distinction between being emitted by a single person or three million.

Also, fuck living in a world where only things arbitrarily deemed “useful” are considered worthy. Does art have no place in your world? It’s not “useful”. Should people be banned from having hobbies? Those aren’t “useful”.

Good point. Forgot about tires. Tire sizes here are a mix of metric and imperial. My tires are 245 40R19, so 245mm wide, 40% sidewall ratio, on a 19" rim.

I wouldn’t say so in this case. A watch is probably about as close to “good” conspicuous consumption as it’s possible to get. Think about it: it’s generally a “buy once, keep it forever” item, takes essentially 0 resources to keep functioning (generally the expensive ones don’t require batteries), uses very little material to manufacture, and all the price is coming from specialist labour.

It’s a waste of money, but it’s a harmless waste, especially when compared to things like private jets and yachts.
