Maybe that’s exactly what the dust was.

Oh lord. That’s disturbing.
- Comment on Oil giant BP is killing 18 hydrogen projects, chilling the nascent industry 6 days ago:
I mean, not exactly. It’s been a great way to boost the natural gas industry from which most hydrogen comes from, by pretending to be green energy.

Are you saying he created the monster out of nowhere? There was no prior art? No testing on animals first? He just went all-in with a humanoid monster?

Good luck 🤞🏻
- Comment on The Perfect Bear 1 week ago:
I often wonder about that. The human brain didn’t significantly evolve for the past couple thousands of years. Yet, paintings we see from 2000 years ago often look like a toddler made them, with very bad proportions and perspective. Is the notion of perspective in drawing cultural?

- Comment on Murder rate in Haiti spikes with over 1,200 killed in three months 2 weeks ago:
No because toilet paper isn’t serious enough to point a gun at someone.
- Comment on Murder rate in Haiti spikes with over 1,200 killed in three months 2 weeks ago:
You’ve seen what Americans resort to if they don’t have toilet paper. Wait until there’s no water or no food.
- Comment on Do it. 2 weeks ago:
When you have an all you can eat free buffet with infinite food, you can afford to be picky. Why would you eat from the pile of bugs all stressed out and popping on each other? I bet the lonely aphyd eating peacefully is much more tender and juicy.

But they feed Ladybugs…
- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 2 weeks ago:
None of those brands you mention are letters. They mean things, and in fact started by being called those things, but people organically shortened their names. Stress on organically. X as a name is trying so hard to sound cool and futuristic that people felt forced to adopt it, and instantly hated it.
- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 2 weeks ago:
I think it will take a whole generation to die off before that happens, because X just isn’t significant enough as a word. You can’t say “I saw it on X” and have people understand you. You can’t say I exed, people still continue saying “I tweeted”. “I posted on X” is simply inferior.
- Comment on what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one? 2 weeks ago:
FairPhone did dip their toes into upgradability with the FP3+ which was basically the same as the FP3 with upgraded camera modules. So people who bought the FP3 were able to buy just the new cameras instead of the whole phone. Unfortunately, the FP4 and FP5 are both again not backwards compatible. Hopefully they start focusing more of maintaining the same design for longer.

- Comment on what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one? 2 weeks ago:
The most modular phone right now, which you can open yourself and replace parts with just a screw driver, is the FairPhone. And even that one, you can scavenge parts from older models of the same brand, because the connectors don’t fit. There’s very little space left inside a modern phone.

- Comment on New Kindle e-readers no longer appear on computers 3 weeks ago:
You’re trying to make it sound like the only options are buying super glue from amazon, or never see your kids. You are trying to paint a dramatic picture of reality that isn’t true just to justify your lazy lifestyle. I never said I didn’t have to make choices, on the contrary. Every day I have to make choices.
- Comment on New Kindle e-readers no longer appear on computers 3 weeks ago:
There’s easy choices, hard choices and impossible choices. I don’t own a car, because I live in a place with good public transit and safe bike infra, so I wouldn’t stick it to someone who owns a car because they need it. I don’t keep a lawn, that’s stupid. Can’t remember last time I took a bath at home, no. It’s literally impossible to know the origin of most electronics you buy, but I rarely buy them and usually buy second hand. My electricity provider produces only renewable. I try to make better small choices along the way.
These are things that fit my lifestyle. Some are things you probably can’t do, and that’s fine. But not buying from the worst online shop in the world is one of the lowest hanging fruits. But sure, continue lying to yourself that personal change isn’t necessary. We’re not in a hurry.
- Comment on New Kindle e-readers no longer appear on computers 3 weeks ago:
“I am unwilling to do even the least of changes to my lifestyle to improve life on earth” is not the flex you think it is. It’s honestly sad.

I’m surprised it is so dense. I thought it would be very porous to store water.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 3 weeks ago:
I’ve once visited an office that was like this. Was a publisher with a big IT department. Large office room, perhaps 40-50 desks. No headphones allowed. I don’t remember the reason. I would go crazy, it was not a quiet office.
