If you use reusable bags, bottles, and other containers, that’s way more sustainable than any single use product.

But using paper is still better than plastic, and yes, trees can be and are sustainably farmed in many parts of the world.

I have seen some shifts away from plastic. For example, Apple seems to have removed almost all if not all plastic from their packaging, replacing it with paper.

I’ve started seeing a lot of restaurants with blatant AI slop pictures of food on their menus or signs.

I wonder if the questions were phrased like “none/some/many/most/all” and not percentages?

I don’t know how else a significant sample size would end up with an average guess that 1/3 of the US population lives in NYC.

Weddell sea is good, mentioning Antarctica is good, the word “North” is meaningless in this context which is what the OP is laughing about.

The chlorine tablets taste like ass IMO getting a good filter is the way to go.

Get a water filter that’s designed for camping. The two varieties I’ve seen are either a hand pump or using gravity to force the water through a ceramic filter. Try to pick water that is relatively clean looking (not obviously murky, and it helps to pick flowing water).

Best tasting water I’ve ever had and you won’t get giardia (the most common cause of diarrhea symptoms described above).

This story does make me worried though, that this is the case where they were caught, and there are many more where they weren’t caught.

Honestly I think this is what using Linux is like in general.

I’ve also fought with ALSA. I can’t get my Bluetooth mouse to work correctly, but have a workaround in that it works fine when connected wired. Plugins I’ve added for the the UI stop working when the computer wakes from sleep. Bad package updates made the command line borderline unusable until I found a way to package the broken package.

But ultimately, it’s still usable even if it’s frustrating. And I can always have something to debug because I can see and visual output is coded in at the lowest levels.

Having to do that sort of debugging just to get some usable output sounds awful.

The environmental toll doesn’t have to be that bad. You can get decent results from single high-end gaming GPU.

Bad idea because

  1. Jobs hiring will complain about the gaps in your resume
  2. when you are too old to work anymore you will have nothing
