Russia shot down a US drone today
Look forward to that being a question at the debate
"What would you do to save the drone being held hostage"

France made a big deal about not including air conditioning for the olympics to make a statement about global warming
so the US and Canada have said they're bringing their own AC units and will install them and the necessary generators
and France isn't too happy
Officials aim to keep the rooms at between 73 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit, and will also provide fans.
sleeping in an 80F (27C) bedroom sounds miserable
Hidalgo, who is against countries bringing their own units, stressed earlier this year that Paris organizers would not change course.
“I think we have to trust science on two counts,” she said. “The first is what scientists are telling us about the fact that we are on the brink of a precipice. Everyone, including the athletes, must be aware of this. And secondly, we have to trust the scientists when they help us to construct buildings in a sober way that allows us to make do without air conditioning.”

I agree global warming is a thing
I also believe that it is laughable to try and force normal people to give a shit when the main culprites do not give a shit
ban private jets and audit factories if you care so much
You know what uses a lot of energy and is not needed 99% of the time? Huge office buildings
but we can't not have those, real estate needs their money
invest in technology and aim to teraform the earth however you want
that's the solution
"oh hey, we think there are benefits to humans to lower the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere"
ok, remove the CO2 then
That stuff is random academics working on grants, so it does not get advertised
Fresh water is the biggest scare tactic
"oh no, we're going to run out of clean drinking water"
well, we've solved that problem
we can desalinate ocean water en masse
it's more expensive than spring water, but not outlandishly so
we won't have to fight a water war to steal Canada and Russias arctic iceburgs
You will though
you will take Canada
In space, people are feigning concern that we're launching too many satellites, and will create all this space junk
so... the solution is to clean up space junk, not to launch fewer satellites
Nuke space
Don't gimp human progress and development, develop solutions
Spooky, I usually have a drinking box with my lunch (its just easier)
they replaced the thin ass straw with paper
I am pissed
stab the lunch lady
they don't even recycle normal plastic anyways
why would they do straws
I have drank these without a staw
but uh
its awkward
I like drinking with straws, even if technically it introduces a small amount of additional microplastics
removing the straw would probably make it easier I agree, considering they have to produce the straw seperately then attatch it to the box via glue
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I like drinking with straws, even if technically it introduces a small amount of additional microplastics
I cannot wait to see the study about micropaper in my balls
even when I used to get the fold-open milk cartons in school
I'd still jsut get a straw
They do not sell them as singles
my dad's not a straw guy though, he'll still get one and just fold it up to play with it
when we go out to resturants
they are in 16 packs wrapped in plastic around the entire thing
so you are not loosing the straw for these
Replying to heir #hyrrulfr my favorite thing about the straw boxes is that the straws always fucking fall off when they stock the shelves in the store and so you probably won't have a straw in the first place anyway
I used to see people steal straws like that Fire
and it always made me angry
