That’s 61 cm and 305 cm for like 95% of the world.

Taalen’s PIN > 0001 confirmed.

Tiniest pieces of plastic from for example tires would classify as fine dust particles, which is like a containerword for tiny particles from any kind of material, as long as it’stiny enough it counts as PM. PM10 and PM2.5 is somewhat researched. Breathing in fine dust particles often and in large quantities for sure ain’t healthy, correlation with lung irritation, asthma, etc. Whether it’s specifically the plastic share of the PM that’s bad: still unknown I think.

good point.

Never heard of it

To distinguish in their minds between people possessing free will and such, and people who don’t (yet). The first, the adult, is only a victim of their own poor life choices (in this individual responsibility-guilt view on society), their shitty life situation is supposedly their own fault. While children are ‘victims’. Thus advocating for equal chances rather than actual equality (which would involve shit like hard capping inheritance etc).

If fuel was subsidised, it could be because it gets hit twice: general rising (import) prices + subsidies cut, while some other products might only feel the general rising prices.

Well we do have the ‘index’ mechanism: all paychecks and wellfare adjust magically and automatically when stuff in shops gets more expensive. There’s worse places to live, I guess.

Sure, it’s mostly BBC and mostly science.

My all time favorite podcast is Elements. It’s from 2014-2016, but still worth the listen! Every episode explores an element or a group of similar elements on the periodic table. Physics and chemistry is often very theoretical and weird and hard to understand (for me), but in this podcast it gets very applied and business oriented: which industry uses this stuff, why, how …? It was my gateway-podcast into the BBC really.

• The documentary podcast: I often don’t listen, it very much depends on the subject
• witness history
• Discovery: same, depends on subject
• The food chain
• 50 things that made the modern economy
• Unexpected elements
• Hidden brain (shankar vedantam)
• Radiolab (WNYC studios)
• The climate question
• Sliced bread

One that doesn’t really fit the others but i liked very much: death in ice valley.

And then a few in german and dutch language, mostly politics/society, i’m just gonna assume you don’t understand dutch or german ;)

Care to share some of yours?

You need to update the app if you don’t do that automatically.

Haha great! I got into cautionary tales because of ‘more or less’, searched for Tim harford because I liked he’s presenting!

You might like some episodes of cautionary tales with Tim harford. Quite a few are about engineering oopsies with big consequences.

think unsexy thought

It must exist exist already. What would it be called: only fans where naked girls talk read out loud philosophy in a sexy voice while showering in a non-sexual way

Letting YouTube and reddit and Shitter and co do their thing while making sure all the great advice on how to avoid them is easily accesible on Lemmy…

Both sides are in a codependent downwards spiral towards more authoritarian states. No, nothing good ever comes from revenge after revenge after revenge.

i dunno, i’m not encouraging anyone to take to arms, but it’s exactly the kind of shit that happened a lot in the end of the 1800’s, beginning of the 1900’s. Anarchists directly attacking high-ups with terrorist attacks, ignorant to the working class people, is arguably one of the reasons why for example the general populace got the right to vote, the christian churches started trying to come up with alternatives to socialism/anarchism (rerum novarum) and why high-ups like bismark introduced ideas like pension, krankenkasse etc. I don’t understand the general aimlessness of all the mass shootings in the USA. “i wanna make a point instead of going out silently on my own, but the only people i can take with me are my peers, no higher ups”?

TL;DR greedy guys do get scared if their jobs become too dangerous in an destabilized society.

try it after you boiled it together with some brocolli

Yes.
