except:
raising cattle on a commercial scale requires mind boggling resources!
every single study on environmental impacts of food production lists beef as the number 1 worst food source in terms of environmental impacts period.
“Raising cattle doesn’t require anything.” - yeah, in fantasy land.
in case you actually want to know the answer:
it’s the avocado being shipped. and by, like, a mile and a half. it’s not even close.
raising cattle is the single most energy, water, and CO2 intensive food production there currently is.
pluto has more than one moon ;)
Tell me if those companies that experienced more productivity, why did they not continue to implement it?
they did. 80% of them did exactly that!
it works exactly as expected, and the companies that did switch to a 32h-week model did see increased productivity, and 80% chose to keep the 32h-week model.
read the study.
got curious, googled it, here’s something interesting:

seems genetic. which makes sense.
apparently that region just got unlucky with its gene pool, though, as the news release states: more research is necessary in order to be certain.
being caused by environmental chemicals hasn’t been definitively ruled out, but it’s not looking likely
(btw, bravo on an actually readable press release by a university!)
I’d say it’s worth a watch!
kinda gives a different perspective on the world it’s set in (until the end, where it gets very “the boys”-like, but not in a bad way)
if you’re searching for something general, like, i dunno “dishwasher cleaner” or something, it spits out usable results.
but as soon as a query becomes technical in nature, like troubleshooting IT problems, it’s a straight up nightmare.
the reason it’s so bad at searching for anything very specific is their attempt to “figure out what you really mean”:
and google does that by… ignoring what you typed and changing your search prompt behind the scenes without telling you and without any options to change it.
and putting it in quotes rarely improves searches anymore, only spits out more garbage.
point is: google is basically dead for any specific searches and only really works for searches that amount to “i want to buy thing. show me thing.”
Ireland is not connected by rail either, so customs don’t matter as much; you need to change the mode of transportation anyways
the UK cannot be included, because they aren’t a Schengen-member and the EU doesn’t want customs checks on their train lines…
it’s entirely up to the UK what they do with their rails within their borders.
and as was already pointed out:
there already IS a connection between the EU and the UK!!
the new plans are largely for connections between capitals of EU countries and major population centers, both of which already have rail connections in the UK.
so what do you expect the EU to do about the rail network in the UK?
in our party it was a druid… don’t think she ever hooked up with anything with fewer than 6 extremities…
i would sure hope they both have the same kink!
would be even weirder otherwise…
pretty sure they weren’t talking about smart phones exclusively:
mobile device ≠ smart phone
could be anything from smart watches, to portable gaming, to health trackers/monitors, baby monitors, etc.
when you add everything up, it’s probably somewhere around 75-85%
although i tried to search for a better number than a guesstimate and…yeah that’s borderline impossible; all the results get spammed with smart phone OS numbers and google thinks it’s smart to ignore search parameters…
maybe someone with better google-fu can get a better number: i just took the average smart phone number and added a couple percent on top.
99% is an exaggeration, but 75-85% sounds about right!
especially once you factor in things like raspberries and other small IoT devices, which could reasonably fall under “mobile” devices…but then the definition of “mobile” gets murky…
was it?
i always thought that’s mostly because german fascists dragged both of those countries into war by attacking them, which caused severe backlash by proxy, and not really antifa being particularly effective in those countries.
explains why the U.S., despite having a large fascist movement at the time, reversed course and turned on fascism as an ideology (in public); they got attacked.
same in Britain; early attacks in the war, plus some lingering resentment from WWI, combined overcoming a push towards fascism…
I’d love to hear/read more about successful antifa movements in the UK/US, but that’s what I’ve always thought/read were the major reasons for failing fascist movements in those countries: other fascists…
it’s…factual, tho?
do you not want to be called human either?
what do you prefer? dog?
it’s about 7525.7143 9/11s:
usable floor space of the WTC: ~350,000 m^2
Chernobyl area: ~2634 km^2
divide Chernobyl’s area by the WTC area and you get the above!
so about 7.5k 9/11s.

simple explanation: people get used to their monitors’ frame rate.
if all you’ve been using is a 60Hz display, you won’t notice a difference down to 30-40 fps as much as you would when you’ve been using a 144Hz display.
our brains notice differences much more easily than absolutes, so a larger difference in refresh rate produces a more negative experience.
think about it like this:
The refresh rate influences your cursor movements.
so if a game runs slower than you’re used to, you’ll miss more of your clicks, and you’ll need to compensate by slowing down your movements until you get used to the new refresh rate.
this effect becomes very obvious at very low fps (>20fps). it’s when people start doing super slow movements.
same thing happens when you go from 144Hz down to, say, 40Hz.
that’s an immediately noticeable difference!
it absolutely was one of the stated goals for starlink.
it hinges on the laser mesh networking though, which isn’t online yet, iirc.
the DLC are pricey, but they’re also proper, old school expansions adding lots of content that actually enhances the game.
it’s perfectly playable without the DLC, and there’s a LOT of DLC-sized mods on the workshop!
kind of a fundamental problem with modern DLC: they generally don’t get cheaper over time (remember when that was an actual thing? not just sales, but actually lower prices for older games?).
if you keep up with the releases it’s super okay at about 20/25€ once a year, maybe twice, bur if you’re late to the party it’s a whole lot of cash all at once!
exactly why paradox introduced a subscription for Stellaris’ DLCs at 10€/month… honestly kinda worth it, if you know you’re just gonna play for a while and then move on…still wish stuff would just get cheaper at some point again…
