Oh, no need to apologize, I fully agree with your overall view on AI data centers, and your observations of how politicians don’t even nominally stand against climate change anymore. It’s just become very blatant very rapidly, and it’s easiest to see with data centers.
The way people prioritize different causes for climate change and environmental issues does frustrate me at times, so I appreciate the reply :)
If anything, it’s climate change and failing systems due to late-stage capitalism, followed by some form of fascism or other authoritarian system, aided by AI to stay in power.
Electricity use from AI data centers on a global scale isn’t impactful enough to make that much of a difference, it’s more of a local issue, at least at the current rate. Water use is entirely negligible outside of the surrounding area, animal agriculture uses more than a thousand times as much as all data centers combined.
For baked beans on toast, I recommend adding the following to your beans:
Feel free to experiment with the amounts and adding some other stuff, would love to hear your thoughts if you ever give it a try :)
Subs for almost everything, including things like donghua or live-action stuff, it just always feels way better to me.
The only exception I can think of where I preferred the dub is Dragon Ball. And I’ve seen Princess Mononoke in Japanese, English, and German, and enjoyed all versions a lot. Outside of anime, also SpongeBob and The Simpsons in German, but that might just be bc that’s how I grew up with them.
It really wouldn’t. If a corporation reduced their production of for example red meat, another one would simply scale up their production, because the demand of the market would remain unchanged.
Also, there’s already more than just a “small percentage” of people who have dropped red meat from their diet. All vegetarians, vegans, pescetarians, and people who eat meat but stopped eating red meat due to the environmental impact add up to several percentage points, which is absolutely measureable and impactful.
Reacting to stimuli like the colour of light is irrelevant. My phone camera would fall into the same category, then. A light switch reacts to getting pressed and turns on a light, it’s reacting to a stimulus.
What matters is sentience, which plants cannot possess, since they don’t have a central nervous system. And even if they did, a diet that includes meat takes more plants, since those animals have to be fed plants in order to raise them.
They all make it up as they go along. It’s very similar to religious beliefs in the way it is personal. Each has their own set beliefs on where to draw the line of what is vegan and what is not
The extent to which we are tied to every living thing on Earth means that many vegans have set impossible goals.
Regarding these two, is this any different from human rights? Where people draw the line regarding slave labour, child labour, which type of humans they care about (considering racism, homophobia, trans phobia, ableism etc). I’m sure lots of people have impossible goals regarding human rights, but working to get as close to those as possible is still sensible.
Octopath Traveler would be great, ty for doing this giveaway! :)
I started watching The Boys again last night, jumping in at the beginning of S3. Watched a whole 6 episodes, good stuff!
Adjust audio by 5% with up/down arrow keys, so your focus will never be on the audio slider.
You can also adjust it by 10% by hovering over it and scrolling up/down with the mouse wheel.
I do this as well, but with a fork.
I wonder if there’s anyone eating knife only?
As a huge SoulsBorne fan, Elden Ring.
I was really excited for “open world dark souls”, but I feel like this turned out to be a bad combination. The difficulty is all over the place, so you fight enemies that are really strong (which is fine), but then other areas become completely trivial as a result.
And with how many bosses they put into the game, the quality of each individual fight suffered immensely imo. I think the bosses in previous games were just a lot better designed (on average, there are of course stinkers in Souls games and good ones in Elden Ring).
There’s also a ton of gank bosses, which is just lazy. You could use the summons, of course, and it almost feels like a lot of the difficulty was designed around players having that extra strength, but at the same time, the enemy AI and movesets are designed around fighting a single person, so it breaks the combat.
All around, it was just a huge disappointment for me personally, and I uninstalled it right after I beat it, whereas I have hundreds of hours in DS3.
Even better when this happens on a Linux server with no GUI (bonus points if you don’t have much Linux experience yet).
Can you recommend any resources for the yoghurt and cheese that you make yourself?
Like this? :p
Corn and beans go together quite well, give it a try!
