Eh. Not denying that also cars have cons, but some pros are 1. sometimes the car is the best way/in the shortest time to get somewhere 2. You can carry much more with you if you have a car 3. It can be used as a place to sleep in 4. You can give lifts to people 5. Some work require to have a car (if you need to be in many different places in a day)
I myself don't have a driving license and I hope I never need one. I use public transportation and a bicycle to get around.
Dunno why loudness is a thing though. Reasonable volume should be advised.
I believe anything lower from iron will make a star, when enough material added. Of course, one material from iron will give a much smaller lifespan for a star rather than hydrogen only.
I think that an iron ball wouldn't start a fusion. Might just jump right to a black hole if you added even more iron 🤔
Yup...no matter how good a tool is, if there are no users to it, it might be as good as it never existed (unless if someone takes ideas from said tool and implements them to a user service, growing their quality, which is still better than nothing). Sad but true.
Maybe different in America, but here in Finland I've never been asked to pay myself so I could volunteer. And I've been in few different places. And I also haven't needed to provide any kind of CV to do volunteering (nobody has asked for such information).
Sometimes I'm offered free food, free products, free fun time and even one-time payments (they pay me - which I still find strange since I haven't gotten used to it!).
I think, to truly boycott something, is to actually be invested in it. To really NOT buy or use a service or product, no matter the situation. To look for other products and services that are more moral and to start using them instead, even when the costs would be higher.
What is important to you?
You can hate the system, hate someone, a thing, product, service. Something. But it's your choice, will you actually do differently or still just follow the path they made for you as an option to follow. And sometimes it may be the only path available.
Some folks enjoy reading articles. Some folks enjoy to watch, listen and read (captions) at the same time. Some folks rather ask around and learn through conversations.
I've understood that it's generally easier to learn new things when you use many different channels (audio, imagery etc). To many people but not to all.
Well, caffeine as in Coca Cola, but not often (more often when served than bought myself). No alcohol. Medicine, I think 99% of the time it's Ibuprofen and that also is not often.
Abuse is one problem, yes. It's worth mentioning though that not everyone approves even small doses of illegal drug use - no matter was it completely harmless to the user or not.
