The reason you don’t really see animals that can photosynthesize (other than microbes) is because you don’t actually get that much energy per unit of area. Think about how much area a cow has to graze vs the surface area of the cow itself. And much of the cow’s surface isn’t even facing the sun.

a) Shitty MS Paint edits are funny.

b) It makes it clear to people who aren’t familiar with the original meme that this is a template.

Don’t use screen, but I do use tmux pretty heavily.

I don’t think the people complaining about Firefox’s AI integration are using or paying attention to Chrome.

I hadn’t even heard of this manga before seeing this post and now I’ve binge-read almost all of the released chapters.

Unfortunately, I don’t know of any series that match what you’re looking for.

EDIT: Fully caught up now. The latest chapters have been so good and I’m really invested now. Sucks that we’ll probably have to wait months for another update.

No one’s said it yet? I guess I’ll do it: Outer Wilds.

Eliminating vehicle deaths by making travel impossible

And here we see decades of automobile industry propaganda in action. There is only the car, or no mobility whatsoever. You remember how everybody was just trapped inside their houses for centuries until the Ford factories started cranking out Model Ts?

Cars will never be a sustainable solution to mass transit. The immense amount of waste in materials, energy, and land use will not be offset with AVs. I don’t think AVs are a bad idea in and of themselves. But, as the article points out, they’re not going to solve any major problems.

I had never really considered how induced demand would apply to AVs…

I just saw the title and the image wasn’t loading. I thought this was about Power over Ethernet.

Lol, weaponizing toxic masculinity for climate justice, are we?

But did they have themselves a popsicle?

I wouldn’t say 0% chance, but I agree that it is unhealthy to jump straight to conspiratorial thinking. Especially given just how little we know at this point.
