I go one further and also use public/private key pairs that my acquaintances must use to decrypt the scrambled letters I mail them.

I’m not advocating for people not doing things within their power and influence (i.e. influence their friends and family), but I think it’s clear that systematic collective change is more effective than expecting billions of people to change their individual choices.

Advertising works, and Coca Cola Company has effectively endless resources for advertisement.

We have to push to influence legislation that will force companies to comply. Otherwise we’re just complaining endlessly about people not doing the right thing while these companies freely profit at the expense of the environment.

Yeah, let’s try and change the habits of billions of people rather than the practises of 1 company. Way simpler and effective solution.

In fact, let’s not even worry about the fact that the company in particular does everything in its power to keep people buying their product.

Oh yeah, the circles of influence are definitely helpful for your mental health.

And true, I suppose even the earth blowing up doesn’t matter in the scheme of the universe.

I suppose I’m not 100% on Nihilism in that sense.

I still value life of course, but the climate change existential dread which I feel pretty constantly is alleviated when I tell myself its only complete societal collapse/mass extinction event, rather than total destruction of life on the earth.

Nihilism and the fact that it’s highly unlikely that humans will destroy the ability for earth to sustain life, just make our society collapse.

Humans lives aren’t as important as life itself.

Omg lol

I hear that particular 2 weeks is all the difference

He looks pretty young for a 99 year old. Would have put him at early 80s.

I would’ve thought the Euro?

Same, haven’t seen it for over a year. Shame its only 2 weeks now but that’s enough time to play Nine Sols.

That’s a really good one

William DaFucked up my OS…

Nah, I’m good thanks.

Damn so Ubisofrs take-home is like $40 million for that month after platform fees. This game cost $250 - 300 million to make.

This thing looks almost as big as The Duke.

All time peak of 2,486 players is pretty low. I wonder what the peak was when factoring in release? I understand this didn’t launch on steam day 1.

That is true lol.

The heating effect is more due to standing waves rotating the (polar) water molecules in the food.

There aren’t hot radiation particles moving into and staying in the food like a number of people believe.

Microwaves (and 5G) have much less energy than visible light, but its a scary sound word. People don’t like to think that they are exposed to radiation 100% of the time.

That’s a fair call and I’m the same, its not optimal for a lot reheating. I’ve met a fair few people who refuse to own or use a microwave because the don’t want their food “irradiated” or think that it is somehow unhealthy.

Microwaving food. Too many people think that it’s radiating the food. Its just making the water molecules in the food wiggle and heat up to warm the food through internal collisions.
