Lmfao, this is the most childish take I could possibly imagine.

You cannot avoid the problems with something by sticking your head in the sand and pretending like it doesn't exist and will go away.

Yeah man, guess show much energy it would take to draw the 4k graphics on your phone screen in 1995?

If you want the real answer then take some physics courses instead of being an uninformed dumb dumb.

If you want a quick answer then I posted a high level explanation that's well regarded amongst physicists.

If you want to know why it's taken seriously:

Tl;dr: you need to actually understand the physics at play that lead to serious consideration of the many worlds theory. It's not the pop-sci it gets painted as. It's much more specific.

Precisely, there's a reason that these days, books made for libraries are made to an entirely different standard than books sold at your local book store.

They also weren't destroying rare books. They were buying in-print books from major retailers, which means that while yes, that is environmentally wasteful, it's not actually destroying books in the classical destruction of knowledge sense since the manufacturer will just print another one if there's demand for it.

No, it was after their lawyers told them that was illegal and would cause them to lose a fair use copyright claim.

The diagnosed ones generally are, the others are generally self medicating in a variety of other ways, from caffeine to alcohol to nicotine to marijuana to illicit amphetamines.

For countries like Finland, the Ministry of Defense is not about offense, and is very heavily armed.

Oooh what an insult. I'm totally going to be embarassed by my public display name.

 

Business owners on Bathurst are running an astroturf campaign using AI generated videos of fake people to try and stop on-street parking being turned into dedicated transit lanes.

They claim they just want their voices heard, when in reality they're upset that others' collective voices are louder than theirs. They also make nonsense statements like it shouldn't be trade-off, when it inherently is since there is limited street space on Bathurst.

The owners of Summerhill Market seem affiliated with the group but are trying to pretend they're not, and the owner of Minerva Cannabis appears to be one of the leaders of the group, and decision makers behind the AI videos.

Don't buy those crappy plastic bag-clips to hold chip bags, flour bags, etc closed. They're unsatisfying, they wear out and bend, and they just add more plastic pollution to the world.

Instead buy more binder clips. They're made from spring steel, they're strong as hell, they almost never wear out, they can be used to close bags, as small clamps, as hangers for almost anything in a pinch, and they're amazing for building pillow / blanket forts.

I have some from my grandma that she bought 30 years ago and they work just as well as the ones I bought a year ago. The only risk with them ever is rust, and you can just scrub that off with vinegar, add a brush of paint and it's fixed.

Truly some of my favourite robust little items.

 

I can't be the only reddit migrant who often instinctually goes to a given community by typing /r/community, only to be 404d. If the /r/ path isn't being used for anything else, is it possible to have it dynamically redirect to /c/ instead?

 

The federal New Democrats backed Conservative demands Wednesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau take part in a televised "emergency meeting" on carbon pricing with Canada's premiers.

The federal carbon price is not the "be-all, end-all" of climate policy, and New Democrats are open to alternative plans presented by premiers, NDP environment critic Laurel Collins said Wednesday.
