Also, the price point determines the sort of people looking at your add

A lot can be legal if you agree to it. But they absolutely can’t unilaterally declare this rule into effect.

Just don’t pay, what are they gonna do? Sue you for damages that they admit themselves can’t prove?

Sartre would disagree, but then Sartre was a professional philosopher.

And therefor a witch

Trump narrowly averted a nuclear holocaust… by forgetting how the Football works.

It’ll trickle down aaaaaany day now.

you should place a solar pannels on your roof and make some money while also reducing your footprint far beyond what you see on the graph?

The average household of 2.1 people here (the Netherlands) produces 0.8 tons of CO2e from electricity per year, at the current power mix. So, reducing that to zero places you somewhere between colder washes and getting a hybrid (0.4 tons). Not nothing, but also not even past the left half of the chart.

Also, realistically, net-zero isn’t actually zero at all, you need to massively overproduce to truly offset your consumption.

Too lazy to photoshop, but the average dutch household produces 2.2 tons of CO2e for heating and 0.8 tons in electricity. The average household is 2.1 people, so call it 1 ton for heating, and .4 tons for electricity.

• So going completely off-grid (VERY hard) will place somewhere around equal to the “Buying green energy” bar (duh…).
• Just solar panels will rank around “Replace car with electric”.
• Switching to a heatpump is roughly similar.

Looking at a couple of sites shows a vegetarian diet produces something like 4-4.5 tons of Co2e a year, and vegan 3-3.5 tons. A “normal” diet ranges between 7 and 10 tons, probably depending on your definition of normal. Other sites list 1.5, 1.7 and 3.5 tons for vegan/vegetarian/regular.

The big gain seems to be dropping meat, with everything else* adding another 10% or so savings. But 1 tons of CO2 is roughly equivalent to driving your mid-sized (european mid-sized, that is) car for 5000km.

*These numbers are purely diet. I can’t seem to find anything for a whole lifestyle.

eventual grandchildren aren’t your choice.

Not having children is a pretty certain method of not having grandchildren though. You can compared the local/national/worldwide average reproduction odds against the certainty of not having (great)grandchildren.

Nothing, but they got paid for lots and lots of houses and offices. And that a problem.

In Dutch it’s the same, but we just say “KNO-arts”, for “throat, nose and ear”.

The Doolittle raid is the perfect example of a PR move, because it was insanely expensive and did very little. It cost 16 planes and their crews, and took very expensive ships out of the running for months. BUT despite doing basically no damage, made Japan bring 2 carriers away from Midway to take a couple of tiny islands to prevent bomber bases being built on them.

As far as we know, this basically took some RHIBs and troops on foot. Way less than the Doolittle Raid. Unfortunately it’s likely we’ll never know the effect this had, or how many of these raids take place.

This is really only a raid, Ukraine has no ability to supply troops by sea, nor the ability to even land enough troops to hold territory.

But the fact that they did this means that Russian “rear” area security is absolute shit, and they have the option to improve that (taking forces from reserves or the fromt) or suffer more rear area raids.

When I wear my Commandar Riker costume, I don’t appreciate the comments about the red shirt and being expendable.

Complains about being called expendable.

Uses only character there’s literally two of.

These people will never go away. The people have 16 push messages an hour, are the same people who had 7 IE toolbars, are the same people who had their VCR blinking 12:00, are the same people who couldn’t get the channel on their radio, are the same people who (presumably) kept buying snakeoil potions.

These are the people who would rather be annoyed at something than fix it, they’re the people who will spend hours living with problems rather than spend 1 hour learning how to resolve it.

I only regret I can’t hear them talking about it. Nobody has words for “what?” like the Australians.

a 80286 for a processor (odds are it was junked before you were even born)

Ouch, right in the age.

I’ve heard of “Short-term utilitarianism”, but I like yours better.

we’ve had generations of Americans come and go without the need* of unions,

Thanks to the work of the unions formed by the generations before them.
