States’ rights, but not really

If you’re using facebook, there isnt much ublock could do for you.

who needs russia when you have facebook

That image is worth more than 1000 comments.

I thought the article would be about submarine tracking, lol

It’s a Luna Moth 😍

freegan: scavenge free discarded stuff (edible kind or not) and DIY it to not be dependent on mass production when it inevitably raises prices or collapses.

Freeloaders! (kegsbreath, probably)

I see no difference between the book as a tool or any other tool. They all get worn, you can only use one copy at once…maybe the difference is that you will recurrently need specific tools…but reference books were like that too (replaced by the internet). But I guess that is why dictionaries were not lent, at least at my local lib.

Could be a lesson to fossil backers: back an unpredictable clown and you may end up worse than the alternative.

Sir…they got to our bellybutton…it’s over :(

Uuh, with three galaxies I guess you can finally do some statistics on whether they are merely an outlier in a distribution or there is an actual mechanism at work here.

But the quote itself admits that the consumers here are the advertisers, it is natural that the users have little say. The users are being milked/harvested/herded/served to the consumers

Hahaha, I wasn’t expecting the future to be elderly people walking around high as kites :D but sounds fun

That is all anyone ever asked for. Farmers are not the kind to throw their hands up and call support to help fix and modify their own shit.

Solarpunk is not just about being friendly and building community (I’d say that is a side benefit and an eventual necessity). From an individual standpoint, it combines the love of nature, animals and plants of hippies with the unplugged DIY joy of punks with a bit of freeganism (including construction materials). You can still do all of that and hate most people and that is fine…they will probably judge you anyway for riding a bike, plogging, making your own clothes, thus not fitting in…fuck’em.

To me, the case of India and Saudi Arabia are the strangest examples of climate denial, because they are going to be the most uninhabitable and keep buying/selling. Like they think they can outrun global warming through fossil accelerated development. Australia too, because they are drowning in solar power, but still hold onto coal. russia at least makes sense, they just want to become warmer and unlock new land, even if the whole place will turn into a giant swamp.

You can see this directly from the Iran war effects: peaking oil prices and fossil scarcity are harming food production more globally (via fertilizers, pesticides, tractors) than transporting it.

It already lost when it sold out.

Yeah, I’ve heard that one before, it is an exception. Even if true (there are ways to design aluminum plants to work around that, or use hydro power or wind or some other baseload) but not for most processes that are labour-intensive or even energy-expensive things like dessalination.

The other excuse I’ve seen was that nobody designs a factory to only output 30% of the time…but you operate on residual electricity costs for a few hours a day.
