Seeing how some very particular relatives are, I wonder if much of the gas leaf blower cloud is less "watch me stick it to the libs" and more "look at me, I'm cleaning my yard, that makes me better than you"
Depends on what you are using them for.
E.g., if you maintain a Proton email account because you don't want your emails mined for businesses to advertise at you, then you give very little info away by your bank finding out about the purchase.
If you use it because you're engaging in activity that could be considered illegal, then your bank knowing about the purchase is probably the least of your problems if someone starts digging. Mysudo has to respond to a court order just like your bank and has access to all of the same PII
Yeah, except everyone has had it beaten into them - nobody fucks with gas prices.
Every news outlet in the country runs the same news segment practically daily - "Let's complain about gas prices". We've somehow made it the subject of basically nonstop discussion.
Funds raised will be used to offset further increases in subsidies to the domestic oil industry
That's kinda my point. Mastectomies would bring the average down but more women brings it back up. Too lazy to Google but is global # of women who have had mastectomies more or fewer than # of "excess" women (over men)
Just wait a couple of years for their $700 Exclusivity Box 6 to come out with marginal graphics improvements, and oh by the way your old games are useless, but feel free to buy them again with sloppily upscaled textures.
If they time it right they can even release Overpriced Game Pt. 3 as an exclusive on the new box so you can never play them all on one system.
A reasonably big restaurant doesn't get enough amps in the panel to replace all their gas equipment with induction
This is the true reason more industrial kitchens don't go electric, at least in my experience. This and cost. I work in building design and do a decent number of commercial kitchens.
New kitchens in new buildings tend to be trending towards electric, but retrofits / renovations more often than not are constrained by the (hyper-)local electrical infrastructure.
The chefs we've worked with actually really like cooking with induction, and their teams f*cling love that it's safer and cooler than gas. Electric kitchens lose way less heat to the environment than their gas counterparts, and thus are way more comfortable to be standing in for 8+ hrs/day.
especially in grid-strained California.
Working across the country, I haven't run into this "issue" as much on the CA projects I'm involved in.
Certain locations, especially older urban neighborhoods may have some local capacity issues, but not at the "state" level. I see many of the same issue in older urban areas around the country (and globe).
From my viewpoint, any increase in occurrences in California is largely driven by the fact that CA is the most populous state and simply has more projects interested in / requesting these things.
IDK, there's slightly more women than men, it may skew the results
... Is a property of matter
Does this mean academia is matter?!
(Apparently) Sony has been pulling this shit for years, so either no one noticed or there's more to it. I wonder if perhaps any of these countries have laws restricting certain online services, which Sony doesn't follow, and thus is not allowed (as opposed to simply choosing not to offer)?
Sony has written off those countries for years of PS sales, its been a resounding yes for them since long before they started inching into the PC market

Oh definitely agreed, just picking on Nintendo because that's what the post is about
I love long complicated games, like breath of the wild, but I think the world also needs more concise games, those 20-40 hour masterpieces that keep you wrapped up without having to memorize 3600 pages of back story to remember where you left off.
What the studios (especially Nintendo) don't understand is you can't charge the same ~$60 for both games. People don't hate shorter simpler games, they just hate paying the same price for less content.
Right now, Nintendo is selling the Switch version of Link's Awakening for only $10 less than TOTK ($60 vs $70). That's right, a remake of a 20+ year old game with a pretty limited story is selling for almost the same as the largest most complex and expansive game Nintendo has ever produced.
I don't know why they're so fixated on matching prices between games that took orders of magnitude different amounts of effort to produce.
This somehow makes me less trusting of the previous comment.
The production of Brazen Beef, the label claims, achieves a “10 percent greenhouse gas reduction.”
10 whole percent? Get Mr. Tyson a Nobel fucking Prize!
Yeah, could be that, or could be the fact that it'd be political suicide to pick a fight with the auto industry in their home turf
Detroit
Wonder why she doesn't also sue the auto industry for not moving away from fossil fuels earlier
Is it possible (it appears to be) that the data for rolling stone album "weeks on chart" metric includes weeks outside of your sample range as well?
I could be wrong, but it looks like by counting weeks on top, this graph is comparing popularity from date the first album on the lost charted to 2020 vs just 2003-2020

Food systems are responsible for around one-third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions – and beef has the largest carbon footprint of any food.
A poll finds less than one-third of Americans want a fully electric home. It jumps to 60 percent if people can continue cooking with gas.

“It would have huge consequences — a lot of them probably not anticipated,” one researcher said.
One of the thorniest problems of the 21st century is how to get people to eat less meat. A new poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that most U.S. adults said they eat meat at least several times a week.
WASHINGTON (November 14, 2023) – Global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C are failing across the board, with recent progress made on every indicator — except electric passenger car sales — lagging significantly behind the pace and scale that is necessary to address the climate crisis, according to t...
Eating less beef, cheese, and ice cream would slash emissions. But given the nation's taste for them, science strives to make climate-friendlier cows.
"Wherever you go, whatever you do, if it involves revealing anything about the devastating impacts of animal agriculture... you are beaten down for it," said one advocate.
