it's a big deal jack
  • The whole debate was designed to generate clips. One minute responses is a terrible format. All the responses were just high energy rapid fire buzzwords with no real substance.

  • Living a radically simple permaculture life on 1/4 acre
  • No it's not.

    The tragedy of the commons is when too many people use a public resource in a way that is unsustainable. For example, air is not privatized but air pollution impacts everyone who checks notes uses air.

    That's not to say there aren't solutions to the Tragedy of the Commons problem and resources cannot be made publicly available, but systems need to be created to manage common resources.

  • U.S. surgeon general declares gun violence a public health crisis
  • I don't see the US Surgeon General as the correct person to make meaningful changes to curve gun violence.

  • Louisiana's new "Ten Commandments" law actually contains eleven commandments

    (10a) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house.

    (10b) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is thy neighbor's."

  • My co-worker has an electric car and lives in an apartment without a charger. Luckily our office has a few chargers and he only needs to charge it once or twice a week. If he really needed it he could charge at a public fast charger somewhere else in town, but he tries to avoid that.

  • The DJI Drone Ban: A Uniquely American Clusterfuck
  • the US government pressured drone manufacturers to implement privacy and safety features that required internet infrastructure to operate, DJI built those features, and now lawmakers say those same features could be used by China to spy on Americans and are the reason for the ban.

    Oh no. Our backdoor can be used by malicious actors. If only we could have seen that coming.

    Until I find a used 18mm watch band, this will be my watch band.

    !

    It builds character! I wanted to see if it would be a practical fix. It is unnoticeable when I am actually wearing it. It is not a forever fix, so I will keep an eye out for used watches to see if I can snag a replacement 18mm band.
