  • For anyone who can't be bothered to watch the entire 1 hour episode: It's not really about frying pans.

    The PFAs are everywhere by now. Butter on a pan will do jack shit to save you. It's really fucked up. You should watch the video.

  • Sure thing. This post is about Denmark though, where the nuclear power has been banned by hippies in the 80s, and the same old idiots now decline expanding solar power because they prefer to look at fields of manure instead of solar panels.

  • Money isn't the issue.

    Nimby'ism is preventing the expansion of solar and wind. Nimby'ism will also prevent the building of a large nuclear plant.

    I hope the change of law will enable more research on modern nuclear power.

  • They closed down all, about 1400 small farms, in 2020.

    The ban was removed in 2023. 6 larger farms have reopened since then, comparable to 15 of the previous farms.

    It was a total shit show, but at least the clean up forced all the skeletons out of the closet.

  • The lines don't matter as long as you don't cut it.

    Place it, then cut it. The cut will be correct if you cut it where you want it cut, not where you think in advance that you want it cut.

  • Depends. You'll need to check the package.

    Only a few of them are 100% biodegradable, with bristles made from animal hair, vegetable oil or straw.

    Most of the bamboo toothbrushes have bristles made from recycled nylon, so those aren't 100 biodegradable, but they are still produced a lot more environmentally friendly than plastic toothbrushes.

  • It doesn't seem so.

    The actual interview referenced in the article is somewhat longer: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/magazine/bill-gates-foundation-closing-2045.html

    From what I can gather there are at least 3 reasons to end it earlier:

    It was always planned to have an end date. This was set before they even knew what they're were going to do. They now have a clear plan, where they can say "a human life can be saved for this amount of dollars", so they don't need to wait for anything.

    Bill Gates criticizes post-life foundations, stating that they're in risk of getting eaten by administration costs. I don't know about that, but it appears that he doesn't trust others to as good a job as he wants to do himself.

    Warren Buffett is doubling the contributions for the foundation, but only for as long as Bill and Melinda are alive. Gates is 69 years old, so blowing it all in 20 years seems to be a realistic timeframe if they want to take full advantage of Warren Buffett's pledge.

  • And? What happens next?

    I acknowledge your feeling at this moment. However, politics are decisions about the future. Will you welcome them then? Will you accept their votes on your side at the next election?

    They're misled idiots for sure, but there's no benefits in keeping them in that position just out of spite.

  • Go to the singles park on a bicycle. Ride somewhere with cute single girls in your area. Fall on the bicycle and hurt your knee. Wait for help. If the cute girls don't help, they're probably not that nice. Phew, you just saved a bullet there.

    Is it this kind of stupid methods you want?

    Okay, buy a shitload of oranges. Put them in a bag. Cut a hole in the bag, so it barely keeps together. Go to the park and find the cute girls again. Give the bag a firm shake so it falls apart and the oranges start rolling all over the place. Look sad. Attempt to pick up the oranges but keep dropping some, until they come and help.

    Now for the next one, you will need to get out of your comfort zone. Go to the grocery store. Find the laundry detergent isle. Keep staring at the products until a cute single girl comes by. Look confused. Say to her: "excuse me, I'm really confused about all these, which one are you getting?" Eventually thank her for help and turn the conversation into something else " I'm new in this town, do you know any other great places to get laundry detergents (or whatever)"

    Oh, I forgot to mention, you need to be wearing a suit or at least a blazer and proper shoes. None of the above will work very well if you look like a hobo who washes with a toilet brush.

  • The freight prices need to be changed. It's unacceptable low.

    It's just not reasonable to get free shipping when buying "dollar store" items from the opposite side of the globe in individual packages. The environment is paying for this shit.
