Don’t call her that.

Blue and wet.

Why don’t kids just bike to school anymore.

Those mistakes would be easily solved by something that doesn’t even need to think. Just add a filter of acceptable orders, or hire a low wage human who does not give a shit about the customers special orders.

In general, AI really needs to set some boundaries. “No” is a perfectly good answer, but it doesn’t ever do that, does it?

The contradiction is that religious people don’t believe in other religions.

I went to the doctor with something similar. Stress or whatever, right?

I shit you not, his advice was: “if a whiskey doesn’t cure it, come back next week”. Then he gave me a book recommendation for some kind of weird male toxic pseudo psychology self help. I never bothered getting the book after reading the synopsis.

The next time I went to the doctor, the doctor had been replaced with a woman who actually listened to me.

I guess the whisky worked.

Good. ICE cars should have high tariffs. They’re all subsidized too

The boat will be fine. It’ll be under water and the people have a problem, but the boat will be fine.

Your quote is not from the OP article, or maybe it’s been changed.

The article linked at he bottom has a picture and more info on the wooden satellites.

Another thing that ought to shock you is the price.

A couple million is all that this is worth to these politicians. Integrity is selling cheap when you have none to offer, but it’s sad that a serious issue is worth so little to them.

Stupid thing is that it’s locally so cold that I had to turn the heat back on last week after having it off for two months. Just a few weeks back I had to bring the fans down from the attic to stay cool. Shit is just weird. This summer is going to be fucked. There’s also not the usual pollen or insects.

Anyway, if you’re interested in visiting Denmark as a tourist, I can currently only recommend mid May or early September. The remaining 47 weeks of the year are “normal” 10°c and windy rain regardless of seasons.

I’m blessed with a recently priced grocery store within 1-2 minutes walking (less than 200m/ 0.1mile). I have some nice large reusable bags, so no car needed for daily stuff.

However, due to this, I also shop there every single day instead of making weekly trips. In weekly totals I still spend 10-20 minutes transport and probably a lot more spontaneous purchases than I would from just one weekly trip.

Whenever we do plan weekly shopping, we usually use the car to go elsewhere because one shop doesn’t have all the things.

However, I recently found an app that can plan the cooking recipes based on this one store, so I could potentially use a handcart and get everything in one walk. I haven’t done this yet though.

Being clutched out is not “riding the clutch”. You can safely do that.

“Riding the clutch” is when the clutch is used as “hill assistant” or as speed control at low speeds.

He is in Europe. The cheap Chinese cars are likely not available or road legal.

Maybe I have some wrong ones around.

Sorry, I’m all out of nows. I have plenty of tomorrows if that has any interest? Also yesterdays, but I guess they’re not really interested in hiring those.

Ah sorry, I misread it as washing.

Anyway, I think a positive expectation might be more motivational for some people than the constant fearmongering, which often leads to apathy. The largest hurdle for improving the environment isn’t companies nor rich sociopaths, no it’s apathy allowing the companies and sociopaths to get their way.

I want to believe that we can fix this, even if it’s uphill for the rest of my life, in the best case scenario.

I’ll take any sliver of hope. Also, they’re not greenwashing anything? The article mentions a lot of relevant issues despite the seemingly positive statistic. We’ll see soon enough. It’s just a prediction anyway.

I was thinking the same thing when I read that line. We should be making “war time sized investments” in renewables and forestation etc. and there’s a long way to go.

However, I remain carefully optimistic. If the predictions are correct and 2023 was the top of CO2 emmisions, this positive news will finally show that the existing efforts are not futile, and that it is happening whether or not the rich sociopaths or apathetic consumers want it.
