  Nope, not a huge deal at all. Still don’t feel any recoil when using the breaker.

  Creating fake child porn of real people using things like Photoshop is already illegal in the US, I don’t see why new laws are required?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In a U.S. First, a Commercial Plant Starts Pulling Carbon From the Air⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  To earn revenue, the company is selling carbon removal credits to companies paying a premium to offset their own emissions. Microsoft has already signed a deal with Heirloom to remove 315,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

  And this is why direct air capture is a farce right now - any progress they make is literally counter acted by large corporations who will increase their carbon output because they have a contract with a company like this.

  Carbon air capture technology paired with 100% clean energy can save the world from a lot of hardship in the near future, but not like this.

  Thanks for pointing out that typo, I fixed the credit amount

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google kills two-year “Pixel Pass” subscription after just 22 months⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of misunderstanding in these comments. Google Fi service is not going anywhere, Google is not cancelling any services. The Pixel Pass is basically just a bundle of optional services that can be added to your Fi account for a very slight discount. You do not get a free phone, you get interest free financing on your phone. Because they are cancelling the Pixel Pass Google has given me $200 credit towards my next phone, which is a better deal than the Pixel Pass itself.

  Like many people I’m not happy with a lot of things Google has been doing lately, but the Pixel Pass being cancelled is not important.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is America Really That Bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also the fact that US media wants to show this bad stuff because it helps keep people afraid of the world around them and makes them easier to manipulate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So many expensive homes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No, this is not how it is. In order to rent an apartment you have to show proof of income, and people who can’t afford a studio apartment where they live also cannot afford to move. What you are suggesting is literally not possible. You might as well tell someone to grow wings and make a nest in the clouds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So many expensive homes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So quit your job and pay hundreds, maybe even thousands, of dollars to move somewhere different where you no longer have a source of income and don’t know anyone?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So many expensive homes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They can only sell for those prices because buyers are ready to buy

  Because the alternative is to be homeless.
