Canada should run it's own official mastodon or lemmy instance to post canadian news/communications and whatnot. I never undestood how we still depend on American corporations like Twitter and facebook to share news. Like, even for my local govt, if I want to know if there is any road works, water issues and so on, it ends up on facebook only! This is dumb.

Breathing does not create Carbon, it is only transformed.

There are basically 2 pools of carbon. The carbon already in circulation in the athmosphere, plants, animals and so on, roaming at the surface. That Carbon can be CO2, or other mollecules, but there is always a fixed amount. You breathing is simply borrowing the carbon for a bit and putting it out again in the air when exhaling.

The second pool is carbon locked away in the ground, as coal, oil and whatnot. That carbon is OLD and is not supposed to be in the first pool. When you burn oil, the carbon from the 2nd pool ends up in the 1st one. You cannot really offset it because even planting trees just transforms it as wood for a bit, but if the tree burns or rots, the carbon goes back in the air. The only option long term is to send the carbon back in a locked state in the second pool.

But for you, just reduce the amount of carbon you move from pool 2 to pool 1 to help the earth. Cut on oil, gas, coal as much as you can. The rest is basically irrelevant.

You can compare it to the water cycle. You are at a lake with a pump, and pump the water from the lake back into the lake. You can keep going forever and will not cause the lakes to rise since the water is pumped from there anyway. BUT, if a mega corporation starts pumping from underground sources and dumping it in that lake, it would overflow for sure. And they would blame you for all the water you are pumping.

So, they expect users to provide a piece of ID to access porn? What a massive breach of privacy. Imagine a data leak, they will be able to tell who whatches what kind of porn. Do you want the world to know all your kinks? And I absolutely do not trust a porn site to keep my ID safe and secure. This is just a way to get porn sites out of EU because they know that no one will be giving their info even if you are over 18.

Even if true, does it justify bombing and killing everyone in that hospital?

Dunk it in vinegar overnight. It will kill bacterias, and the smell of vinegar itself will go away pretty quickly.

Unsurprising. Most repair shops will ask for your PW to "test that the device works". If it is for a battery change, or screen fix or whatnot, refuse to give it! It is not required. They can confirm the fix just by accessing the lock screen itself.

Date formats. Can never tell if dd/mm/yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy, yyyy-mm-dd...

Pretty sure everyone killed by IDF will be counted as Hamas militant as usual, even the kid with a slingshot or the pregnant women running away in fear.

Whatch journalists actually visiting Gaza to get a full picture of the situation instead of repeating western media propaganda. The situation in palestine is disgusting. Gaza Fights for freedom

Crazy that an admin had full access to all files on all drives including backups without requiring any kind of elevation, where a ransomware could encrypt it all.

At this point 8 don't even know if paying would be the way to go to at lease rexover the files and rethink their security from the ground-up.

That sounds fucked-up, no? Is it an uncureable condition?

Some places let you pump THEN pay inside. You could just fill and leave. Is that not basically the same thing? Thay can catch them the same way.

I mean, even after the war is over, the country/economy is still destroyed and must be rebuilt. Easier to stay in canada where you built a new life already.

A while back, Google trained an AI to learn to speak like a human, and it was making mouth noise and breathing. If AI is trained with human texts, it will 100% insert typos.

"Exploiting" animals as in, animal cruelty, I think everyone agrees is bad. But I don't feel like raising sheeps for wool or cows for milk is inherently wrong depending on the way it is done. Even eating animals, I would not call that exploitation. Plenty animals eat each other in nature. Is the wolf exploiting the sheep when it eats it?

What about a fish then? Or even insects? We use insects for plenty of things as well, like food dyes. Are we exploiting them? Insects are animal as well. What about a fish?

BTW the Gaza strip holds 2 million palestinians, not just 200k.

It looks like a Badger

BTW I think the point is that Hamas is a reaction to the israeli oppression, not that it should be supported. Obviously this is disgusting behavior.

Google Lens says it's a Signal Fly, does look similar!

The keyboard for password limitation makes sense though as a 3rd party keyboard could act as a malicious keylogger. Forcing the native keyboard prevents that.

Israel wants them to move so they can scoop in and take the lands. They are never gonna let them come back.

Fair enough!

Your ISP cannot read https data in transit. Extensions can because the page is now rendered on your local browser.

The whole pipe will have a circumpherence 3.14x the diameter of the tube. Obviously being in the real world, it won't be perfect as the plastic will stretch and contract with heat and pressure but 3x is a good ballpark. The mathematical relation is PI (3.14159...)

Yeah, it never worked on 3rd parties either. It's nothing new.

Could we even all survive without eating animals; all mankind?

Not all countries can produce plant food year round, or have access to high protein source of food that is not meat. I live in canada and more than half the year, all fruits and vegetables come from california, spain, and so on. There is no local vegetarian food. But, the butcher still has local meat available.

I am actually curious; is it even feasible to feed everyone if we stop meat production? What would be the impact on the environment to import boatloads of food from far away instead of sourcing local food year round?

Intelligence is not the same as wisdom.

You gotta be pretty intelligent to wreck a whole planet. You gotta be wise not to do it.

Because of the plant it used to be made of. It' a Gui Mauve plant in french, or a Marsh Mallow in english. Scientific name: Althaea officinalis

It happens all the time after I trim my beard. I end up just scraping the skin with a sewing needle dipped in alcohol and it takes 2 seconds to do. Tweezers dont work usually because the skin probably started growing back over it.

How deep is that?

Same here!

You can set your language preference on lemmy at least. Not sure about kbin.

Would that not be an issue also outside of UK or was it only used in UK? I have never heard of this in Canada dor example and yet our buildings are old and mostly concrete also for schools and hospitals.

Same here. Took multiple rapid tests, all negative. Maybe the new strain does not work well with the test, or it is an unrelated illness. Canada here BTW.

If we can get nuclear fusion to work, that would be the kind of things that would then make sense to do. I can only hope that we figure it out as soon as possible.

Cows do not create carbon. They turn it into methane which is a worse form of carbon.

The same way you can turn carbon in biomass to "lock" it from the atmosphere, you can turn it in worse forms of gas that cause even more heating like methane. The methane will turn back in CO2 form once it burns or degrade naturally (a dozen years or so) but while it is under methane form, it will make it worse, accelerating the heating effects. But even stopping all methane emissions is only a temporary solution as carbon from pool 2 keeps moving in pool 1. It may give us more time before reaching the same level of greenhouse effect but we will reach it anyway.

The admin of the instance running the community could close it but if it is on another instance, the best they can do is de-federate the whole other instance completely.

I have had a pixel 5 and 6 and both died within 2 years. They would both hard crash and shut off for a bit and eventually stop powering up altogether. I never had that issue with other brands. I ended going back to samsung with an S23 and it works fine for now.

What is crazy is that with 1 passenger per car, that is not that many people. Like not even 50. You could all fit in a single bus

That's what teeths are for.
