Some meats are more climate friendly than others, but compared to a plant based diet they are still a lot worse in terms of CO2 emissions.

I would argue lab grown meat is fine, but afaik it is still more resources intensive to produce than, like, tofu. And it's not like it's going to be available in appreciable amounts in the near future.

Zelensky dismisses compromise with Putin, pointing to Prigozhin’s death (www.cnn.com)

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin – the Russian mercenary leader whose plane crashed weeks after he led a mutiny against Moscow’s military leadership – shows what happens when people make deals with Russian leader Vladimir Putin....

Why is it that country A starts occupying parts of country B, and some people start expecting country B to have peace discussions (ie, give land to country A)? There should be calls to country A to stop occupying country B's land, and that's it.

Dishonor! Dishonor on you, dishonor on your tuna!

I bought a new Lenovo with Windows 11 preinstalled and apparently if I want to use this laptop I need to have a Microsoft account (lemmy.world)

Is there any way around this? Why is Windows doing this? Don’t get me wrong, I got the laptop to install a Linux distro anyway, but it’s helpful for others (especially my older family members) to just use Windows when they need to print a paper or do a small task, so I would have liked to keep it. Microsoft really lost me...

I honestly can't tell if this is how you actually set up a local account or if it's a joke about how ridiculously difficult everything is getting that is not exactly the Microsoft way

The area required for enough wind and solar is still small enough to not be an issue. That nuclear needs less space per amount of energy produced does not matter

The space saved is so miniscule compared to theobvious benefits (way cheaper, quicker and easier construction than nuclear, no problem with long term storage of waste products) that it is an absolute no brainer. Also, it's not like windparks are on fields of asphalt.

You keep coming back to that one single argument you seem to have with space requirements, which several people have explained to be ridiculous, and you just keep repeating it? Do you have any idea about the scale of a country vs that of a solar park?

The discussion is not whether solar needs more space per energy produced, (and it does, nobody is disputing that), the discussion is if the area difference is relevant in the first place. And there have points been made why it is not, namely:

  1. You can cover area that is not natural anyways: parking lots, rooftops, farmland that does not need strong direct sunlight

  2. There is so much space in a country compared to that needed for solar that or just does not matter. Obviously you don't go and remove forests to put solar panels there

  3. Plenty of space isn't arable in the first place, so what's the point of not putting solar there? Protecting the sensitive desert?

@GreyEyedGhost even gave you an actually ok argument against wind/solar, maybe try that one?

PSA: Stay away from wireless keyboards

I aways wondered if the communication channel between my wireless keyboard and the usb receiver-antena is secure. I never bother to reseach this. Today I figured out the practical way. I turned on my pc at work and I tried to type the first letter of my password. Nothing hapened. Then I started spamming that letter. Still...

I don't know how old you are, but I used to think the same thing in my teens, however nowadays wireless nice last pretty long on a single charge. Mine lasts about 3 months, and in endurance mode like half a year.

The kid is 12, the should probably have a look at the parents as well

Damn, I overlooked the "almost" in the title and was disappointed. But I guess the turbulence around a helicopter would make piloting a drone in any deliberate way very difficult anyways.

I want Todd to not make promises he can't keep.

America's richest 10% are responsible for 40% of its planet-heating pollution, new report finds | CNN Business (edition.cnn.com)

America’s wealthiest people are also some of the world’s biggest polluters – not only because of their massive homes and private jets, but because of the fossil fuels generated by the companies they invest their money in.

Fuck no, there need to be laws in place to force more environmentally friendly behavior, especially on companies. The CO2 footprint was invented by the oil industry to shift the blame to the people.

Unless you are talking about recycling the richest 10%, in that case, godspeed.

Anytime you have a chance to vote, take it, and vote for whatever option will be most likely to reduce the overall emissions. In most cases, this will probably mean voting for programs/parties etc that oppose conservatism.

I agree the the democrats are not nearly serious enough about stopping climate change, but the republican party is actively hindering efforts and definitely worse for the plant in the long run.
Neither party being serious does not mean one isn't way worse than the other

Lentils have waaaayyyyyy more protein to weight.

I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but lentils have ~20g protein per 100g while chicken has ~50g. Do you mean compared to grains?

vrojak,

Can you post a source? I'd like to believe this but it seems incorrect considering the protein content I googled.
