As it's probably PVC or abs, it can fall apart in a couple of years when exposed to uv. But as it's covered by the deck, it will probably stay intact for a long time.

No tax on emissions mean that companies that try to pollute less can't compete. Either investments for less pollution or the pollution itself needs to be posted on to customers. And if a less polluting alternative costs more right now, it might become the cheapest with carbon tax.

You'd be surprised. Long trips literally produce tons.

The emissions of this trip, if every passenger flew economy, is >2 ton CO2 per person.

The annual emission of a eu citizen is 4 to 7 ton a year so for a month that's 350kg, given that he is not living on eu standards it's quite safe to take the lower bound. The co2 of hitching on cargo ships and trucks is neglectabel, but if he has to catch a bus for most land travel, we can set it to 500kg max.

Taking the plane emissions at the minimum bound and the alternative maximal, it's still 3x less. And personal emissions I think we could reduce by a lot in the next 10 years with greener agriculture, industry and just consuming less. Plane travel will not improve drastically the coming 20 years

They didn't even try to make it look realistic when editing.

• perfect font instead of handwritten

How are lithium batteries non-renewable? The batteries are mostly metal and can be truly recycled, as in the recycled product can be as good, or even more pure, then new. This almost 100% recycle chain, is now already the case for lead batteries.

The process for recycling lithium ion batteries is worse cause they are highly flammable. They need to be disassembled by hand and then put through difficult processes. The percentage that gets recycled right now is low cause of the cost. But the price of recycled lithium is becoming lower and new higher. Car batteries are already being recycled as they need to be disassembled and processed cause of the fire danger anyway.

Lol haters. Can't really blame ppl for saying fanboy if talk like that.

You post a hateful quote and ppl nuance it. Doesn't seem that bad.

Yes, if the speed you go in wouldn't the speed you go out, you'd be ripped apart.

In portal (the whole point of this joke), it happens instantly an works like walking through a door. If your hand is through, it's at the other side and the rest of your body isn't.

If you would travel at the same direction and speed of the train, you could step through and be stationary at the other side. If you stand still and the train travels to you, the only "logical" answer is that you fly out the other side or be ripped apart.

If the train drives slow enough that is takes 3s between when your head gets through and your feed are trough, it also needs to take 3s on the other side or you are ripped to pieces or squashed.

Now if it takes 0.1s, you also have to come out in this time and will have a velocity, the same as the train.

I dislike a lot of the shock advertising they do, but most of what you point out is anecdotal and mostly spread as a laster campaign, because they actually do have an impact on animal welfare and that's not in the best interest of the ppl behind these laster campaigns.

About the shelters, what should happen with all the excess pets that are bought and then dumped? At least peta tries to take down bad kennels and does something about the stray population. It's all nice having a no-kill shelter, but these either don't take all pets or get to big that it's just unhygienic and sad. If the shelter refuse any ill or old pet they can't place, these pets either end up on the street or in a shelter that takes any pet and does euthanize.

Peta also gets called for stray pets in terrible condition or that are aggressive that probably always have to be put down.

Their kill rate will probably be quite high, but I have no idea who made up the 80% and what would be included in that number.

I think they are free to charge some users more for a copy. But as it's GPL, any person is allowed to make a copy and share that with a studio. But would it be worth it as it's more trouble for accounting?

It would help if tools like git would default to a more accessible editor. I've used vim for some time, but I can imagine that if you are just learning and get confronted with vim on your first commit message, that you can feel really lost.

Newer linux games on steam are compiled to run in containers in the same way as a flatpak. They could break it a security patch would break some vague hack in de game, but these should be minimal. These containers are only released ever other year and keep being supported so there isn't really any serious compatible problem there. The first Linux games on steam like team fortress 2 ran partially on the system libraries and that caused lots of problems, especially when these get older.

With the snipperred Linux desktop, containers are the only viable solution.

I like the pattern a lot more. It makes you just initialize the value and only keep it 'nullable' for where it's needed and then you need to check. Even .net implemented it (but a bit more awkward)

It has std:option

So every object that can be None or Some, needs to be checked when used. And only options can be set to None

The things I bump in the most:

• Mutability. Everything is passed by ref so imutable and/or copy should be an important factor of the language, but it's not. Struct vs class also was way to much impact but can both be used for an interface argument but have such different flow.
• Compatibility is always favored over improvement in the framework design and language. It has obvious pros as we need less porting, but newer functions in the language are often weird to work with and frameworks get replaced instead of improved, making the porting even harder.
• A lot of features work magically simple until you want some kind of custom behavior and they then become unmanageable complex. Like the default XML serializer where you can do no extension and everything can get serialized, or async function that abstract the threading untill you want to manage multiple parallel function with error checking and you get very weird and confusing code. Thay all work magically easy as long as you use them for nothing more difficult than the examples.
