I think this is a good thing. Hopefully it will help people realize that we are using far too much plastic

You are correct, it is technically 100% recyclable. I personally dislike this article because it muddles the message. The whole explanation from the article is that if less than 30% of the material is recycled (in the US), it is not recyclable. I find this a stupid argument, because the material IS recyclable. But for a whole host of reasons in the US, it isn't consistently recycled.

Nothing I’ve found is a true replacement to the good, original Facebook. Even Instagram is filled with ads and random BS nowadays. I made it a point to add all the birthday information I could to my calendars, and then keep up a bit with people on Instagram, but that’s about it.

Wow! I knew there was a lot of controversy linked to the new govt there, but now I really understand why. Those comments are abhorrent and someone seemingly that unhinged should not have any positions of power.

My understanding (and I’m not a scientist, I just have read a lot about this), is that there are two flow states of the AMOC. There is a fast state, and a slower state (which we are in now). It seems like it could just stop, but they don’t know for certain that it will ever completely stop. It will more likely just slow to a point where it is functionally dead. The current has already started to slow, so lots of people are trying to make predictive models about just how slowly it can go or when it will “collapse”.

Not content with trashing the surface of Earth, now we have to trash the space around us too!

There is an Infinity Blade discord that has all the different steps and requirements to install and launch the games. Also they have troubleshooting and support channels. I don’t know what the linking rules are for it, so I’m not going to link it.

Shouldn’t DHT be off if you’re seeding on a private tracker? I don’t use private trackers, but I remember seeing instructions for that

I sold my PSP years ago and now have a modchipped switch. With the release of android for it, I can play most PSP games on the PPSSPP emulator. Some games have issues, but even the God of War games run at full speed. It’s definitely not as small as the PSP or Vita. I’d recommend getting the OLED model and using a mod chip, as that’s probably the only way to hack it. Nintendo really locked down the later versions

Are you sure it’s a carbon filter? You can try washing it to get the grease out, most of the kitchen filters I’ve seen aren’t carbon but instead a mesh weave of metal. You can likely find a carbon filter that would work online, or something bigger and cut it down to size.

“Earlier this month, United Nations experts urged France to review its policing practices, expressing concern at the "reported excessive use of force" against protesters, in particular at Sainte-Soline.”

France really has been descending into a neoliberal, police state under Macron…

Actually no. There is a much faster state than what we’re in now, but there is a lot of variability in the flow states. Since we’re approaching the point of a collapse, we’re solidly in the slow state, but not yet at the slowest point. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0007-4

Ah cool, I’ll have to check that one out. I love a Wikipedia rabbit-hole but haven’t come across that one yet.

I have used GoldenCheetah in the past for syncing with my wahoo and bryton computers, I think it should work for Garmin too? Not sure about generating and uploading the files through it though

Wow, Italy doing something anti-fascist!

India with the BJP seems to be descending quickly into authoritarian nationalism, so I’m not surprised

Running the iPadOS beta and it’s been surprisingly stable. The features seem to be implemented well, and even things like AirPod automatic switching are working better. The interactive widgets is a big QOL improvement too

I don’t think there really is a “stable” state that we can point to, just because it is always changing based on the climate conditions, and we have very imperfect data for talking about what it was like even a century ago. I’m also not certain that we haven’t hit a tipping point, from what I’ve read we’ve started to enter positive feedback loops climate wise, so the Earth would keep warming a bit and then stabilize to a warmer-than-it-should-be level even if we stopped polluting now. That would definitely continue to impact the currents.
