First point: fair enough, I see the flaw. But then we’re changing to a more ethical dilemma: does a charismatic person deserve more chance to live?

Second point: with half the population left, there is more time to solve things (caused by humanity). Global warming, for example, will likely be solved by just the snap alone.

Maybe he could have made it that every female can only bare 2 children, that would gradually reduce population. But that would put a huge strain on the younger generation to take care of the elder.

About the 2 faction problem, theoretically 50% of each faction will be gone. Chances are big that the power balance remains the same. But you can idd argue that making 1 faction completely dissappear is also 50% and statistically possible.

About the influential people (let add geniuses to be complete). Those persons are not unique, nobody is irreplaceable. Someone else will step up to be equally influential, Someone else will figure stuff out.

The reason he choose that action is not to be biased and give everyone an equally 50% chance of survival. In his eyes, a cleaning lady deserves an equal chance to a CEO.

The next generations will bounce back. They will not have experienced the thanos snap.

Thanos; I can understand his reasoning, his solution doesn’t favor anyone either and seemed painless.

Was going to use it as a background, but the artifact ruins it.

I guess I am. But they should add “too poor to convert to electric” in that bubble.

You’re ignoring my statement when you say “not everything needs to change today”.

When subsidizing switches from oil to renewables (this is what stop oil wants) there is no gradual transition because oil will be too expensive. If that happens I can’t afford heating or transportation unless I replace those with electric, which I can’t afford either.

Yes we have, but I can’t afford it. These stop oil want to redirect subsidizing from oil to renewable. This sound great in theory until you think about all you need to go renewable: a lot of solar panels for sun, wind turbines for winter, large battery, gas boiler replaced with heat pump, petrol car replaced with electric (wife), motorcycle replace with electric (me commute)

No matter how much the government subsidizes this, this will bankrupt every middle class worker with a mortgage 3x over. And even if you want to do the conversation step by step to save up, in the meantime your unsubsidized fuel is 5x more expensive so you have nothing to save up.

Here is what I’ve learned: If you see an angry person with purple or green hair, they are emotionally unstable and impossible to have a civilized argument with.

Their cause to steer away from fossil fuels is a very good cause to strive for. But only when the technology is there to bridge the gap when renewables aren’t producing energy. We’re getting there, but not today.

And the actions and unrealistic demands of this spoiled university brat who’s living the good life isn’t helping their cause. There are several interviews of this girl, when you see them you will wonder how on earth is she in a university, she’s not smart at all, she can ramble though

Imagine hitting a dent in that bulge. Metal doesn’t dent back out, I’ll be a struggle to walk or strip your armor while it is crushed the entire time.

It is today’s equivalent to catching it between your zipper.

It is about funding. The corners IT has to cut is because lack of money.

Also the amount of legacy operating system to keep hardware like scanners running is a lot. Medical devices are delivered with a workstation that never updates. It is hard to justify buying a new mri of 1.5 million when the accompanied workstation is outdated.

Sure you can vlan and firewall the hell out of it. But they still have a large attack surface.

They can operate, just slower. Life threatening gets priority, the rest are diverted to nearby hospitals.

Think of when your gps shuts down. You can navigate by paper map, just slower and you need to pay more attention to avoid mistakes.

Go protest to the people who give the permit to cut down those trees, those are the problem. If tesla listen to the protest, another company is going to cut those trees.

If that area is marked as forest instead of industry/residential, no one can cut it, end of thread.

But as usual, protestors are barking up the wrong tree (pun intended)

I don’t know who he is.

I get called those things when I tell people I believe the cause that a lot of young people are struggling with their gender is because of hormone imbalance (before puberty) .

I believe this imbalance can caused by external factors, like digesting xenoestrogen.

It doesn’t mean because I think about that stuff and have a theory about it, that I am transphobic. Yet a lot of people can’t seem to see the difference between me just having a theory and “Alex Jones” ;)

I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make by throwing some random guy’s name into the conversation.

Yes. But in relation to the meme it seemed relevant.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical compound  primarily used in the manufacturing of various plastics…

… The health effects of BPA have been the subject of prolonged public and scientific debate. BPA is a xenoestrogen, exhibiting hormone-like properties that mimic the effects of estrogen in the body.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a hormone-disrupting chemical used in food packaging, is present in almost all Europeans’ bodies, posing a potential health risk.

A recent Horizon 2020 research initiative, HBM4EU, measured chemicals in people’s bodies in Europe and detected BPA in the urine of 92% of adult participants from 11 European countries.

The Copenhagen-based EEA said the share of adults exceeding the recommended maximum levels ranged from 71 to 100% in the 11 countries studied, referring to levels outlined by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) in an April review.

I’ll just leave this for you to read further on this. https://www.google.com/search?q=bisphenol+a+european

If you want to debate this you are accused of being [buzzword]fobic or a [buzzword]ist.

What a shit community this has become when hoping someone is dead has this much upvotes.

What is up with all these haters. My friend has a model Y for 3yrs now and never had any issues. It is a great car. Panels gaps are fine, no ratlling dash. I drove it and I loved it! If I could afford it, I would buy the new model 3.

Maybe Europe has different standards but they’re great cars!
