Heya, saw this and thought of our conversation.

You didn’t explain how they sorted it out so I’m assuming compost toilets or some form of slow torpedo that makes it look like the sub is pooing.

Expected Factorio.

I saw a bonfire with a calculated pallet cost of $100k. That’s something. Fireworks are a big part of the bonfire celebration and put pollutants into the lower atmosphere. The example I gave is more firecrackers being used at street-level.

I was pointing out that fireworks were being used in a way that lowers the local air pollution for residents, for days, not just the evening. You can say ‘barely registered’ but I’ve shown you a clear case of it very much registering in terms of effects on local populous.

Inner-city long-term effects, right there.

Mate, if you don’t actually know then don’t just make stuff up. Virtually everything you wrote is wrong. (Except if you live in a 3rd world country like america). Massive levels of recycling in Europe. The process is also about reducing waste going to landfill, as well as reducing the need for raw materials.

Ahh fair play, I was in the sorting office and just picked up bits from the lads.

Good news, posties are trained to not put their hands thru the door. I’ve seen people use wooden spatulas before to keep their hands clear.

Part of the purpose of any media is to illicit a reaction. In print media especially news, the “art” of writing has been distilled down to this because it is a easy way to garner views which in turn drives advertising/product sales. It’s been shown that even negative publicity drives engagement without long-term consequences.

With content-engagement algorithms our monkey-brain doesn’t stand much of a chance. Multiple of your favourite interests dispensing serotonin shots minute after minute. With the scroll confirmation giving basic feedback, let’s not even get into the camera. I’ll put money on pro versions not needing scrolling soon enough. Then doom scrolling will just become…

It’s mentioned in the films, think it’s the Stark foundation that covers hero damage.

They also had power users who dominated post and drove the control of conversation. (MrBabyMan?)

I can see this being used against ex-employees.

Interesting development that I didn’t realise they had. 4 trillion operations per second at 2watts.

Its just another inflammatory post to rally everyone in a single direction. Either worry or don’t worry. Your choice.

Battery-powered silent leaf blowers. We really are in the future.

I mean you can try but those things will always exist. That’s all my point is. You can educate and in this case berate but that’s human nature for you.
