I’ve heard the trick is never looking back. The moment you get in touch with your old life they can find you.

Take note OP. If you’re gonna do an exit scam you get everything in cash (somehow, it can be deliberately hard for this reason) and shed old technology and connections like a snake skin.

There’s was nothing off the cuff about that dude’s actions, though. He was very smart, and if he’s caught because he could only afford a hostel it’ll feel unfair.

All the ones that are bad ideas. My impulse filter is thin and the harmless but weird ones just happen.

Anyway, thanks for being my only friends, Lemmy.

Good, that’s a step in the right direction, although they still block stuff in a pattern that’s not very enlightened.

The acronym works both ways.

This is fully better than “go be a farmer”, at least. Not because nobody wants to be a farmer, but because software developers actually grasp what’s involved in bartending, and not just a fictional themepark version.

I don’t know, but the thing to look for is that there’s an identifiable way carbon is being removed from the atmosphere (not just not released), and that someone you can identify and trust is on the ground doing it. One I remember seeing when I was shopping around is an academic who was grinding up basalt and spreading it in Scotland - I feel pretty safe with that.

Harvard Business Reveiw goes into more detail about how the current system is broken and could be fixed. I’m a bit unclear about whether they think permanent accounting of the carbon or just reasonably foreseeable fixation would be better - they kind of talk about both - but the former seems most foolproof.

What about a seabird? Albatross would probably be the pick for travel, gannet for extensive swimming.

Animal-wise, something simple with slow lifestyle. Man, I just want to chill and be left alone. Maybe a swimming sea cucumber, because echinoderms are cool and wide-open expanses of deep sea are cool.

There may or may not be some kind of human equivalent, depending on the rules of how souls work in this hypothetical.

What alternatives, you assholes?

I did say “at present”.

You can install LineageOS (assuming you have a reflashable piece of hardware) and run it in airplane mode, it’s true, although that itself is slowly getting more difficult as everything gets app-ified. Just doing stuff the boomer way is easier in practice, in my experience - which, again, is at present.

If we’re allowed completely changing the way the telecom and tech sectors operate ahead of time, yeah, I guess we can get rid of physical signs and just look at the world through our phone screens. That’s obviously a taller order than adding a single regulation, though.

Smartphones at present are small surveillance devices vaguely dressed up as a tool. That medicine is far worse then the disease. I’m going to say at least a very plain description and open/closed signs need to be up.

Las Vegas wouldn’t be the same without all the lights. Where I live there’s a limit to one moderately-sized sandwich board, and I quite like it. Somewhere else they might want totally bare streets. All could be accommodated.

Or just allow on a whitelist-only basis.

Sure, a sandwich board outside your restaurant seems nice, but it seems like the actually-socially-useful examples are few enough that you could get through them all no problem.

If the raw materials come from somewhere else the shipping footprint will be the same or greater than what it would be for a foreign-made product, though. (Which is what OP is concerned about)

AFAIK meteors come with a velocity spread of about a digit, which translates to a couple digits of energy, and then back to a single digit of blast radius. In Siberia that’s a nothingburger all around.

Also, the headline did say “massive”.

For food it’s pretty easy just because we’re in an extreme climate (pacific coast excepted). In season you get BC fruit and the like, but that’s usually labeled, and otherwise anything that rots is going to be coming from elsewhere. If it’s something relatively shelf-stable that could grow here, it’s probably local, just because shipping still costs something and we’re a net exporter. The main exception I can think of are corn products because of US subsidies. I know less about meat.

Maybe there’s some way to distinguish between coldchain products from the Americas and products from further afield. I haven’t really looked into it, though, because I’ve just focused on using less produce in general.

Anything non-coldchain is significantly harder to figure out. You can buy carbon offsets, which honestly seems way easier to me than reverse-engineering the global supply chains.

Yeah, I’m sure more state propaganda requirements will make young people less doomer. /s

So, basically they’re just calling everyone else out of touch?
