Ah yeah, this guy. I had a great laugh during the pandemic, when he said, he would get the vaccine in public and later said it can’t be public, because for some reason it was really important to him to get that needle into his ass. Best was the doctor, who said something like ‘you must not inject anything in the central area of the buttocks!’.
Yes, you’re very right.
It just feels so wrong talking about plastic straws, while we produce more plastic than ever. Everyone buys new phones, plastic clothes and a thousand other things all the time.
We need to get away from single use objects to a circular economy. We need to get away from consumerism and endless growth to a society that values life and a habitable planet.
Talking about bad straws forgets to mention the million other bad things we use and throw away.
Yes, straws are bad. Single use plastic is bad. Individual transport is bad. Fashion clothing is bad. Littering is bad. And and and…
If we continue to be stuck discussing plastic straws forever, our society won’t last much longer than paper straws.
Oh common, are we really circling this discussion forever?
We need to reduce burning fossil fuels, everything else is nice, but doesn’t really make a dent in the graphs.
Oh man… I was about to comment satirically “this study was sponsored by coca-cola” but then I read your comment.
Sometimes it seems like there is no more need for satire, because reality has become a joke itself.
The last few years have been harder than ever to clinge to any spark of hope. It feels so weird to go on business as usual in personal life. But what’s the alternative? Depression won’t save anything or anyone out there. I think I do what I personally can. I don’t think it matters, but what to live for, if not ideals and believes? But the weight of hopelessness grows regardlessly and probably will keep growing.
I don’t write this to get attention or pity or whatever. I write this, because I know countless people out there feel the same. It won’t be fine. But also, you aren’t alone. Living with dignity in a dying world is brutal. Don’t feel too bad about it!

I don’t think this would improve cooling, as the bottleneck of airflow is probably the radiator, not the grill.
All I can guess is that the grill was damaged and removed.
Edit: accidentally commented this twice due to poor mobile data service.
Ironically education is a good way for people not to radicalize, I believe.
Uh, I’ve actually seen it. It’s located in Cambodia in the Ta Prom temple (also called Tomb Raider Temple, because they filmed parts of the movie there). It’s a beautiful temple just a couple of km East of Angkor Wat.
I’ve heard that archeologists believe it depicts a water buffalo with some leaves in the background.
Until today water buffalos are being held as work animals to carry stuff, pull weagons and plow fields.
I also thought about wet bulb and checked the humidity in Delhi, which seems to be just 7 % or so. According to wet bulb calculators that’s still good, like around 23 °C wet bulb.
Interestingly the wet bulb temperature calculators that I tried only work until 50 °C, so that was what I put in.
At 50 °C you need about 35 % humidity to get to 35 °C wet bulb.
Regarding your second point: If I’m not mistaken, the hottest month in the region is around May. The temperature is influenced by monsoons, and although the sun peaks higher in summer, it is generally also more cloudy and rain cools of the surface. That’s why usually temperatures peak just before rain season.
It is far from over.
We are currently doing the easy part of dropping emmissions. We have not yet peaked, globally speaking. Then we need to get to zero.
The only possible pathway now is overshoot and return. Which means we depend on carbon removal in a big style, in whatever form that will be.
It also means we will go temporarily over 2 °C. That is a critical number where several tipping points could be reached.
Pretty much the hardship has just begun. Now we need to stop emitting completely, somehow in the same time start to remove atmospheric CO² and hope that while we will be over 2 °C that no crucial tipping points will be reached.
Good read!
It did not mention the nuclear bombs that have been lost somewhere.
I think not yet. Where I live we had a few cases last year. As I understood the virus jumps rarely to humans for example by unclean cooking habits but doesn’t jump from human to human yet.
I want to know this as well. This is the only reason why I often switch between browser feddit and Boost.
Mike Patton has the most versatile voice and music styles from all artists I know. In this song he sounds a little like Axl Rose. In others he growls the wildest metal and after that he sings operetta.
These diverse genre styles mixed with an incredible tone range owned by a hard working dude, singing with many bands and at the same time not being afraid of testing borders and being experimental, is something very unique.
I actually think Mike Patton’s work is underrated.
During the massacre, Thompson and his Hiller OH-23 Raven crew, Glenn Andreotta and Lawrence Colburn, stopped a number of killings by threatening and blocking American officers and enlisted soldiers of Company C, 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade, 23rd Infantry Division. Additionally, Thompson and his crew saved a number of Vietnamese civilians by personally escorting them away from advancing United States Army ground units and assuring their evacuation by air. Thompson reported the atrocities by radio several times while at Sơn Mỹ. Although these reports reached Task Force Barker operational headquarters, nothing was done to stop the massacre. After evacuating a child to a Quảng Ngãi hospital, Thompson angrily reported to his superiors at Task Force Barker headquarters that a massacre was occurring at Sơn Mỹ. Immediately following Thompson’s report, Lieutenant Colonel Frank A. Barker ordered all ground units in Sơn Mỹ to cease search and destroy operations in the village.
In 1970, Thompson testified against those responsible for the Mỹ Lai Massacre. Twenty-six officers and enlisted soldiers, including William Calley and Ernest Medina, were charged with criminal offenses, but all were either acquitted or pardoned. Thompson was condemned and ostracized by many individuals in the United States military and government, as well as the public, for his role in the investigations and trials concerning the Mỹ Lai massacre. As a direct result of what he experienced, Thompson experienced posttraumatic stress disorder, alcoholism, divorce, and severe nightmare disorder. Despite the adversity he faced, he remained in the United States Army until November 1, 1983, then continued to make a living as a helicopter pilot in the Southeastern United States.
The interesting question is now: can you reel 'em in?
Looks more like a dildo shooting gun to me.

I’m reading about deep sea mining since a few years. This must be regulated before the first companies get started!
I have a feeling it won’t get regulated until it’s much too late and damage is done. It’s probably difficult to put rules on no man’s seafloor.
