Excellent guide. Greens are emerging as the only sane choice.

Do you have excess creative energy?

Pour it into discussion that achieves nothing of value.

I like the taste of micro plastic. Is there a way I can get the rich flavour of my plastic without getting cancer?

Don’t try to confuse me with your science.

PS. Good catch with link, lol

The vast majority of people are techno illiterate, even within firms that make technology. A handful of people (relatively speaking) are making most of the stuff. Everyone else is just feeding that process. The legal system is set up to motivate the concealment of information about products. You cannot find the documentation to repair embedded systems, even if you have the desire to fix them and the ‘right to repair’.

In our village we have a wildly popular ‘repair cafe’ where people bring their faulty electrical items to be repaired by volunteers. People don’t want to toss their duff appliances in landfill but we need the tools and education.

No punching below the belt.

Britain needs healthcare and education.

Yes. It’s going to be 9/11 x 2 which is 18/11

Products are developed and in that process technology is created. Once the technical problems have been solved, manufacturers seek to remove as much cost from the process as possible and this generally degrades the durability of the product. The biggest problem with a lot of technology is that virtually no consideration is given to the long term maintenance of the product. There’s no way to interface the system with other parts and re-use the product. We throw it away and buy the next thing because that’s good for capitalism but it’s horrible for people and the environment.

Woah. That was not transphobic. It was a call back to the great Fatima Whitbread. Perhaps you are too young to remember the unusually masculine Whitbread hurl a javelin further than 99% of men.

I like the cheap Ferraris

Who needs healthcare and public services when you have F-35 out the wazoo

Around a week usually. Wool socks go much longer before they stink. All this washing and obsessive attention to hygiene is enabled by freely available access to energy and resources that many people don’t have. Can you imagine these first world people walking down to the local river with a bag of washing every day? No, they too busy posting on insta for such humdrum peasant activities.
