I do loose leaf yeah but I don't see why you couldn't cut open teabags. And my tea consumption is a lot less than yours. But give it a try. If the pot fills up you'll just have to go to plan B. I don't pay that much attention to the decomposition rate but it's probably fairly slow.

I don’t drink coffee but I dispose of tea leaves in the pots of my house plants. Seems a bit simpler, not gonna lie.

Wait, what? Doesn’t phase cancellation actually cancel the waves? How can it be inaudible but still present?

Well that did happen to be fair.

I think on-demand transit makes sense in many areas but for a town of this size, it seems like it would be better as a supplement to a traditional bus system than a full replacement. 50,000 is not exactly rural though I'm not sure what the density looks like.

A chemical only produced by life on earth. But can it be produced by abiotic conditions on other planets? I’m not sure that has been ruled out at this point.

The article is fine and sticks to the facts of the law and how it’s being rolled out. The title is just clickbait. But I agree that it’s an absurdity to describe this as an apocalypse while shrugging off the staggering human suffering caused by the housing crisis in New York and many other cities.

Also, pro-tip: if you click the cross-post button, Lemmy auto-generates several mirror links to get around the paywall.

I’m not saying they will do it voluntarily, but maybe some kind of pressure campaign could be effective. Accuse their advertisers of supporting climate denial. Is that seen as bad enough among the general public to be effective?

I don’t think either PETA or Greenpeace have ever engaged in bombings or similar violence. They are both groups that engage in non-violent direct action.

Yes, the right has a more powerful propaganda network because the ultra-rich overwhelmingly support their ideology and donate huge amounts of money to amplify their messages. Unfortunately, it seems you, like most in the West, have fallen prey to it.

These people should be deplatformed. Surely there is a way to do that.

I don't disagree, but again, I don't think the author is saying that lab grown meat is bad or shouldn't be researched. Just that we absolutely need to pursue alternative strategies because the problem is so urgent and it's far from being ready.

I'm not so sure. For example, everyone thinks of solar panels as having beaten expectations and that's true. But they don't remember that it took over 50 years from their invention before they went into widespread use. Same with the internet--the changes it brought seemed rapid but in reality there was slow, steady progress over many decades until finally it was ready and swept the world.

I think we're still in that early phase for fusion. There are interesting experiments being done, and I think maybe in a few decades we might have some early plants that can actually make power. But there's still a LOT of work to be done. Even with higher funding, there's a lot to do. It certainly could be expedited to some extent though.
