Agreed, fossil energy sources add more climate gases to the eco balance. I suppose the original idea of “carbon capture” was to capture the excess and store it back under ground.

But, we do have “technology” for direct carbon capture. Trees and plants. It will consume a lot of valuable real-estate, but we could plant a lot of plant life which would use carbon for growth.

There is just not enough will and to much economy incentives to not terraform earth.

I love the Americans in this thread answering the question literally

I haven’t played Magic much, but boy let me tell you that this is Yu-Gi-Oh in a nutshell!

Unpopular opinion: I actually like MS Teams

Look, I know this might get downvoted, but Teams is… actually fine? Yeah, it’s not perfect, but it just works. The best part is that everyone and their grandma knows how to use it because it’s the corporate standard around here.

I can’t tell you how much time I’ve saved not having to do the whole “can you hear me? let me try reconnecting… oh wait try updating your browser” dance that happens with other platforms. My company recently switched to Google Meet and honestly? It’s been a downgrade. Teams might not be the coolest kid on the block, but at least I’m not spending half my meetings troubleshooting audio and video issues.

You da man brother!

Hey, so I canceled my YouTube Premium subscription a couple of months back and decided to pick up reading instead. It’s a different kind of entertainment, but I’m actually really enjoying it. I’ve been finding some really great books, and I’m finding it just as hard to put them down as I used to find it hard to stop binge-watching my favorite channels.

I’ve noticed many introverts get exhausted socially because they’re maintaining a “persona” in public. They’re less drained with partners/close friends because they can just be themselves.

Ah, yes. Nothing fires up a debate quite like making someone else’s problems about you

Mu dude, ad fellow tesla driver, I fully concur!

I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but here goes…

I have this friend who I used to invite to every social outing. Without fail, they’d turn me down, just like in that comic. After a while, I just stopped trying. I mean, you can’t expect me to always chase after someone who clearly doesn’t want to be included, right?

Now, here’s the kicker. I sometimes get comments from them or mutual friends saying they’re not getting the chance to join because I haven’t considered inviting them. And honestly? It makes me bitter.

Look, if you don’t want to participate, that’s fine. But your constant rejection has consequences. Consequences you brought on yourself and shouldn’t be my problem to fix. I’m not a mind reader, and I’m not going to keep extending invitations that always get shot down.

Maybe I’m the asshole here, but I feel like there’s a limit to how many times you can reach out before you just have to accept that someone isn’t interested in hanging out. And when they complain later? That’s on them, not me.

In case someone also wondered who this is, here is a summary. Dude is hardcore

Darth Nihilus: A Sith Lord’s Hunger for Power and Destruction

• Darth Nihilus, a Human male, rose as a Dark Lord of the Sith after the Jedi Civil War, driven by an insatiable hunger for Force energy.

• He was found by Darth Traya and trained to feed his hunger, eventually becoming one of three Sith Lords in a triumvirate.

• Nihilus’ hunger consumed him, leading him to destroy entire planets and absorb their Force energy, including the devastation of Katarr.

• He formed a powerful bond with his Shadow Hand, Visas Marr, who could support and weaken him in battle.

• Nihilus’ pursuit of a growing Force presence led him to clash with Meetra Surik, a former Jedi, and ultimately met his demise at the hands of Surik and her allies.

Somewhat boring, but I just love my merino wool t shirts. They don’t have any logos or swag, but they are incredibly comfortable, don’t smell and you just air them out every evening instead of constant washing. They are also expensive as he’ll for those considering them

Never underestimate the urge non Americans have to make fun of America.

I wonder if there is some definition gap in what Bethesda thinks makes a good game and what make a good game in the eyes of players.

They have probably done a lot behind the scenes improvements that warrants them to say that this has been the best to work on, but clearly it’s not the best to play.

This is just heartless 🙁

Don’t fruit trees need extra care and pruning, and the fruit that falls to the ground is also kind of a mess to clean up. Sturdy trees are good in the city, since they are low upkeep and very good for air quality and shade. I am however a huge fan of vertical gardens with edible plants. Imagine a whole wall with mint growing on it, that would be wicked!

Reality check: Life’s more “flickering office bulb” than “cyberpunk neon dream.” Guess we’re stuck in Blade Runner: Budget Cut Edition.

I had bad acne issues as a teen. If I would give one simple advice to myself then I would say “just go to the doctor and get the tetracycline already. You don’t have to live with it no matter if you are bullied or your parents give you alternative remedies. Just go to a doctor and it will get better!”

The worst part of acne was that it bought severe depression, and not necessarily the kind that is easy to recognize as a teen.
