Checking by income (not emissions): “Someone in the 10% of the global income distribution makes $122,100 per year”.
So I’m just a bit short from there, surely in the top 20% I’m poorer than I thought 😂

Well, on that benefit: you could get the same information from non-for-profit sources, in a more neutral and ethical way.
On the banning topic: I’m from Spain, and here smoking is not banned, but heavily restricted, and avdertisement on it it’s banned everywhere. Basically, as a society we want to avoid more people being harmed, so we restrict it.
As with anything, it’s not a matter of full ban or full allow, but if it is mostly harmful for the people and the planet, yeah, it should be heavily restricted. Like pollution, like drugs, and so many other things… When someone’s freedom affects everyone basics rights, we ought to act.
It’s literally designed to increase unnecessary consumption, in a world already burned out by that consumption. Additionally, it has literally zero benefit for the consumer, while manipulating and controlling it’s behavior (by design) to make them move as much money as possible to the companies.
Honestly, all for-profit advertisement should be banned. But meat seems a really good start, so kudos to them!
Sweet Flying Spaghetti Monster, that’s horrible. I’m guessing the reason is to keep the truth value equivalent when casting to boolean, but there has to be a more elegant way…
KeePassDX (Android) + Syncthing to keep the file synchronized between devices.
I don’t usually open the file on PC, but there are clients for all platforms
I thought the images of these trucks were jokes, photoshopped memes. Or some obscure modified model. The are… are the real???
I’m in Spain, and have never something like that. I don’t think it would even be legal here, that wouldn’t fit into our streets and parking spots.
No idea honestly, I guess it depends on your specific model… The best I can think is tying two together (they usually have a hanging hole on one end) and throwing it over your shoulder
That would be pretty awesome, I don’t know if that exists though. When I’m outside I just use layers, tbh, this is more of a “at home” or “at work” thing.
But if you don’t care too much about what other people think, you can directly throw it under your shirt, they are not that heavy
One similar to this:
The only “important” part is that it has a fabric exterior, so that the ice doesn’t “burn” you. But any is good.
Also, don’t over fill it, ice expands and can make it explode in the freezer
Not the majority, but statistically, yes, there are going to be a few. Plus people in buses, beaches… It’s a reasonable warning
Some time ago I read an article on hot water bottles as personal heating/cooling systems, and it’s great:

Since the I bought one, and in hot weather I store it in the freezer / refrigerator (for those that have one)
Also, water cools when it evaporates, so a spray bottle and a hand or electric fan is an amazing combo: spray your face and the fan multiplies the effect.
Thank you for sharing, I didn’t know it was related to sexual practices… Is this HIV all over again?
Right now I’m using Markor on my phone and any text editor on my computer (Zettlr mostly). For syncronization, I recently started using Syncthing, and having a separate app for that is pretty great.
The only downside is that Syncthing is sometimes slow when detecting and propagating changes, but still worth a try.
IMHO, blogs are one of the few sources of original content left on the internet. A humble Android tablet with Readify gives me better and less addictive content than any “social network” or “mass media”.
And it’s on us to keep RSS popular and widespread, so they don’t kill it.
hug Thank you. I guess things are improving, it’s just… so slow.
But I’ll keep trying my best
Well, if you have that horrible highway taking up space, at least using the space for something else seems nice…
But fk highways
Lately, I feel like there are fewer and fewer people pissed at both Russia and NATO for escalating this shit. These idiots are going to get us all killed. And most people seem happy to justify one or the other side… We are doomed :(
Someday I have to learn to use Inkscape properly. For now, it’s still awesome for toying around and small projects ♥♥♥
Oh, wait, I got it wrong. I make 1k a month, not 10k 😂😂😂😂😂 I can removed about them then, I’m not even close.
Damn, I didn’t thought “top 10%” would be so far.
