The US also needs to rethink the way the electoral college works. Cos those GOP states still have ability to set federal law that apply to all.

I've been rather hoping that Cali starts to discuss secede from the union (I wouldn't be at all surprised to find one the the far right states tried to do it first).

May also help with the low birth rate

I'm mean, they are better than the non-degradable plastics, but it's not like they breakdown remotely fast. Those products are more greenwash, [airquotes] biodegradable

Thank god! No more "should spurs sign Pau Torres" stories. It'll be interesting to see how he performs. Emery should be a good coach to get the best out of him.

I think we are saying the same thing. The best option is the recycling the toxic mess into valuable commodities and clean water.

Yes. Trying at least; (imo) Lemmy hasn't quite got the critical mass yet. The official Reddit app is so crappy that each time I find myself being drawn back in, I leave really quickly. I didn't expect me to find it that bad.

I'm not going to argue against anything you've said, I'm not going to try to fact check it, & I believe to be largely correct.

I also think its irrelevant.

In the next few years (couple of decades) we are going to see increased wildfire burning of the boreal forests in the global north which is going to release (what I believe is technically called) "a catastrophe fuck-ton" of gasses into the atmosphere. We've tipped over the tipping point.

Yeah, that's my thought. It's all well & good to say they can, but how? It's not a capability of the OS, so the only way this could work is some kind of carrier patch (?) or an unpatched bug.

That's a beautiful finish! Love it!

Yeah. And it's having no noticeable effect on inflation ... it's almost like they are turning the wrong dial. The people hurting most with these interest rate rises are those who can least afford it and consequently have least effect on inflation.
