It’s law and order with a bit of “thou shall not steal”. There’re people who never question the root cause.

Totally agree about WhatsApp as I no longer use it due FB shenanigans. A lot of people do though which is interesting as it so easy to move.

Using things like Signal and WhatsApp may reduce your footprint further.

I’ve used wifi calling from hotel rooms overseas as well as locations where mobile coverage is poor and it works fine. I suspect (not know) that the voice network provider knows pretty much where your location is though.

Maybe the devil is not such a baddie and just gets bad press?

I prefer Microsoft Hotmail as they are way behind Google when it comes to monetisation.

That’s why the Open Market Committee is the most important organ of US government. It adjusts the rules to maximise shareholder value. It’s great if you are a billionaire.

Another name for leaf blowers is air brooms and air brooms are useful for big jobs. They now come as battery powered which is better on two fronts as they are quieter but more importantly they are not using 2 stroke motors. Apparently the 2 stroke is the most polluting of internal combustion engines whose design hasn’t really improved since they were first invented.

It’s more about metabolic health rather than weight loss or gain. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of cellular biology and not having enough or poorly functioning mitochondria leads to all sorts of problems like inflammation and metabolic disorders like diabetes. A well functioning mitochondria should give more energy and better performance as well as better health.

From what I’ve read it is claimed to regenerate mitochondria, be quite quick to do so you save time but other forms of exercise achieve different results like burning fat, cardio etc.

Try High Intensity Interval Training. Really intensive short workouts of a few minutes seem to regenerate mitochondria.

Disinformation or more accurately, lying, is Russian doctrine. Everything that they say seems to be a lie and designed to delay appropriate action.

Pretty much what the tobacco industry did when rich countries started to reduce and control tobacco use. Asia, Africa and South America became major growth markets.

Wait a minute? Disney just decided now to get off xitter? Isn’t the story really about how bad is Disney’s judgment?

Doesn’t the 14th amendment have him barred already? This seems a non issue as it can’t happen.

Apparently companies like to deal with Google because it has a superior search engine. That’s why users use it. What companies like is the adware hooks. Time to use DuckDuckGo and Firefox.

Coal power is being killed in Australia by renewable energy as it is comparatively cheap to install and has ridiculously low operating costs.

Not enforceable, not retrospective and not policed. Time for laws.

An interesting take on why the nuclear industry stalled. A big picture approach however it says it is not an area for engineering innovation and big is better if you want an economic industry. https://cleantechnica.com/2023/11/06/nuclear-energy-free-market-capitalism-arent-compatible/

Whatever the case, it was a major win for greenhouse gas reductions in Europe. We can thank whoever did it for that.
