Double A
  • Terrorism, according to Wikipedia, is "the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims."

    Hamas is doing that, see examples.

    I frankly don't see, whatever its goals, how systematically attacking civilians can not be terrorism. (Since Native Americans to my knowledge don't do that, I wouldn't call them terrorists, no).

  • This guy is a minor celebrity in Germany known for his cocaine use, wearing only white, being a right-winger, having contacts to Pakistani leaders and other insane behavior. And he makes his living reviewing perfumes.

  • Hijacking the conversation as a newbie: What exactly is live compost (as opposed to just compost)? Perhaps I don't know what search terms to use, because I didn't find anything myself. Can you point me to any learning resources? Thank you!

  • Lawsuit alleges Grindr illegally shared users' HIV status, sensitive data with third-party advertisers.
  • I discovered what works with Youtube (for age verification) is sending a picture of an ID with everything redacted but the date of birth, so that the date was the one and only thing visible. That worked! Although it could've really been anyone's ID, lol.

  • I don't know where you're getting these numbers from. What kind of generator are you talking about? Emissions change with power and fuel use.

    The average US home uses 30kWh of electricity per day, with a 0.4l/kWh fuel consumption that would give us 12l of diesel consumption per day. Diesel has about 2.65kg/l of CO2 emissions, which for 12l would give us 31.8kg or 31,800g of CO2 per day.

    The average US apartment is 82.4m2 big, with 2.5m of wall height this would give us a volume of 206m3 of air volume (disregarding furniture etc., realistically less). Air has a density of 1.3kg/m3, meaning we would have 267.8kg or 267,800g of air in this space.

    The instantly harmful CO2 concentration is around 10%. This means in 267,800g+10% = 270,478g of air 10%, or 2,705g, of CO2 would need to be introduced. With 31,800g of CO2 generation per day, we would have an instantly harmful concentration of CO2 in about 2,705/31,800 = 0.08, 0.08*24h = 2.04h. You would be dead pretty quickly.

    Not to mention CO, which would kill you even quicker.

  • The end of the world ☢
  • I highly doubt that. A fuel-powered generator works by combustion, by making air oxygen and carbon in the fuel react to produce CO₂, harvesting the (heat) energy released by that exothermic reaction.

    That's why it produces the toxic CO₂ as well as using up oxygen, both of which is very dangerous in enclosed areas.

    That's a basic operating principle unrelated to efficiency, as the CO₂ is not a byproduct.

  • The Online Speech Given by Yanis Varoufakis After German Police Raid Palestine Congress [Brett Wilkins | Apr 12, 2024 | Common Dreams]
  • To be fair they kind of had to have expected this. They invited a speaker banned from political activity (Salman Abu Sittah, who's quoted as saying he wished he could've participated in the Hamas attack - wtf?), so logically, the conference was forbidden too.
