  No but the comment above makes it sound like capitalism is some external, alien evil that has nothing to do with humans, even though it’s just greed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3095: Archaea⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was wondering if it maybe has to do with the ecological niche of many of these archaea. They have evolved to live in conditions that are simply not accessible to other organisms which means they have no need to defend their nutrient sources/love off other organisms. Just a thought though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toxic pesticide levels found in tampons 40 times higher than legal limit for water⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The researchers tested 15 boxes of tampons from UK retailers across a range of different popular brands. Glyphosate was found in tampons in one of the boxes, at 0.004 mg/kg.

  Okay, but which brand? Why are they not naming them? What is the point of this article if I can’t even take any useful information away from it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opinion: Just ignore all the myths about low-traffic neighbourhoods. They’re popular, effective and here to stay⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I work somewhere else now and cycle/take the bus but my partner for example has a medical condition that means she has to drive to work.

  What I’m mainly annoyed about is how the council have acted. They asked for people’s opinions beforehand, and then decided to go ahead with the scheme anyway. Then they measured air quality in the newly installed LTNs, which was obviously better with no/fewer cars around but have completely ignored how the air quality has gotten dramatically worse in the areas of the city that all the traffic now has to go through. Protests from people living and working in these areas have been ignored.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opinion: Just ignore all the myths about low-traffic neighbourhoods. They’re popular, effective and here to stay⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I do. They’re nice enough in theory, in practice they turn half the city into a gridlocked mess for 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon. It might work better if there was better public transport available but the idiocy of the LTNs here gets especially apparent when you see bus after bus after bus getting stuck in the same massive traffic jam. It’s so obviously not fit for purpose that I can only assume the council members that approved this shit don’t live anywhere near an LTN. Add to that the lies the council have spouted about air quality. A car journey that used to take me 7 minutes now turns into at least 15 with no traffic and into 45-60 minutes during rush hour. It’s absolutely inane
