• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poll reveals the amount of Brits who would take weight-loss jabs for free on NHS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Not for free, but paid by people’s taxes and insurance contributions.

  Drugs have a cost, and there’s always someone paying. With national health insurance, the people getting drugs are the ones paying it. It’s just spread over a large group, and a function of individuals income.

  I dont mind moths as long as they’re not in my wardrobe.

  Are we sure it’s not a blurry picture of a slice of chorizo?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kremlin warns German weapons factory is legit target for Russia’s military⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The title is innacurate, or a least confusing.

  At first I fought it was about a factory in Germany, but it’s about a factory in Ukraine:

  Arms factories inside Ukraine run by German defense contractor Rheinmetall

  A simple tweak may solve that:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Stop all time wasting’: Woolworths workers tracked and timed under new efficiency crackdown⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Going to such extreme is probably costing the company of medium/long term.

  This is bad for employees physical and mental well-being. This is obviously increasing injuries and burnout. Meaning more sick leave, worse employee turnover.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar panels between railway tracks?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems like it a bad place. It would probably shorten the panels’ lifetime, and maintenance would be tricky without interrupting train traffic.

  Let’s work on putting more solar panels on schools, malls, parking lots, train stations, and any structure with a large roof.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ukraine ‘will seek nuclear weapons’ if it cannot join Nato⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That may also explain why capturing nuclear power plants is so strategic in this war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweden switches on largest battery energy storage system in the Nordics - Energy Storage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Li-Ion seems to be the go-to solution. I hope new static energy storage projects will prefer other options (Na-Ion, flow batteries, …) since there’s a limited supply of Lithium and we need it for vehicles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US urges Israel to stop shooting at UN peacekeepers in Lebanon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Israel argues that Unifil has failed to stabilise the region, and has asked peacekeepers to withdraw northwards so it can confront Hezbollah.

  Yes

  The electromagnetic force from the atoms’ respective electron cloud probably help prevent atom get close to each other. And the strong nuclear force also help prevent atom from splitting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scrap law making schools serve meat, says Labour donor Vince Dale⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not mandate that 3 meals a week have at least X g of protein and Y g of fiber?

  That’d be a better way to ensure healthy meals with proteins without requiring meat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Butts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re looking for a way to save the live of people in respiratory distress, such as intensive care patient with Covid19 and damaged lungs.

  Doctors and rbiology researchers need to move passed the ick factor sometimes to make progress. Laughing it off is a good way to do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We entered easily, say Ukrainian troops involved in Russia incursion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine Putin with a shocked pikachu face

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hermit Crab Housing Market⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, that’s a better analogy.

  Actually swapping house like a hermit crab swap shell would leave very little time to move furniture, put some fresh paint on walls, have the owner review the house to return the security deposit, etc

  100% organic bullshit

  I resist the urge to kill spiders because I hate mosquito even more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say Hello to Biodegradable Microplastics⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice. It won’t help with existing junk, but it can be the basis for mandates that all plastic produced and sold be able to biodegrade within 9 months.

  If it becomes reality is could significantly reduce the amount of new microplastic, and as a side effect reduce fossil fuel consumption from the plastic industry.

  The raw material still has to come from somewhere. Plants based plastic could mean land use to grow plants for plastic production, which has it’s own impact.
