It's not always easy living a more ethical lifestyle, and of course there's no truly ethical consumption under capitalism, but you can try.

Most people have too many things and in order to afford them all they need them to be cheaper. You need less than you think, you don't need the new phone every other year, or a new laptop every update cycle, or iPods or an iPad. You don't need a smart watch or wireless earphones or designer clothes or 5 pairs of shoes. You don't need multiple TVs or multiple games consoles.

Less consumption means more money for the things you need, which means you can be more ethical with your choices.

Of course if you're in a position of struggling to feed your kids, you gotta do what you gotta do. Too late to do anything about it at that point

this is a bad take. You should absolutely care what brand makes your products because some brands use slave labor or child labor, some brands use toxic chemicals, some brands destroy our environment, some brands steal from their employees etc.

If you want to shop on Amazon, and drink Nestle water, and wear Adidas that's your choice, but don't pretend like brands don't matter. You say you don't like google, but you send them your money and in doing so, send them your support in the only way that matters.

It's a reference to the movie Don't Look Up. Not sure what EU is.

You should get another quote, we have a decent sized 8kw array with a fronius inverter and smart meter that we had installed for $8000AUD.

Unless you're getting an insanely large array, I don't see this price being worth it. You're likely not gonna save $25K over the lifespan of the array. Unless you live in a country with extraordinarily expensive power

Just picked this up on vinyl. One of my all time favorite albums

You think selling something that isn't yours, after you told the owner you would return it, is drama for the sake of drama?

The YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips is a very large part of the tech space, reviewing, and making videos about technology. This is actually bigger than that as it speaks to Linus media group, of which Linus tech tips is one of many tech related channels.

That’s why I hate money and the setup of the world, is plain satanic if you ask me.

Don't drag satan into this, the world is overwhelmingly more christian than satanic.

Halting all payments is the best thing you can do. But subscribe count hasn't really mattered for a long time now. Not a bad thing to unsubscribe but just wanted to point out it's not the best thing you can do.

View count is what matters so simply stop watching, less watchers means less ad revenue

Short for utility vehicle. Basically anything with a cabin, and some sort of bed or tray at the back.

There's a pretty distinct difference between eating eggs, and egg being an ingredient
