Diesel-smelling

To be fair. His farming ventures have moved his opinion on climate in a positive direction. People can change their mind and that is a good thing. I would even go as far as calling it a very good sign that even a person as stubborn as the great ape Clarkson can change their opinion on this matter is absolutely fantastic. Good on Clarkson! And fuck the other guy for shoving up the past in his face when he is trying to be better.

Headlines be like

I am also convinced that diamonds are a scam. If you like the stone and think it is worth it, by all means, go ahead and buy it. I fucking love shiny things too. But really? Have you seen the price for a tiny 1 karat stone on a ring? That is ridiculous, there is no way in hell those stones are rare enough or warrant that kind of price, and even if the cutting process was the reason for the price ( as if it is not completely fucking automated by now). Fuck the diamond industry.

2nd hand ThinkPad go brrrrr

I can recommend running it on new hardware. I love that it runs great on old hardware, but it is a bit of a disservice to Linux distros that people always experience it on raspberry pies and other old laptops or otherwise relatively slow hardware.

Linux on a brand new hardware is insanely good.

Edit: software => hardware

Entitled fitness instructor got herself fired

I think you know exactly why they hired her 🍑

But how is it feasable to smoke 80 cigarettes per day! A cigarette takes like 10 minutes to smoke if you don't huff like a dragon. 80 cig x10 min = 800 min = ~13 hour smoking per day. You would not be able to keep any kind of job with a smoking schedule like that.. Except maybe onlyfans..

It's funny how my mind tells me her proportions look completely cartoonish and ridiculous. But my penis tells me it's the best thing ever.

Btw for other people following their penises advice: Leicht Perlig

Workers in Sweden Will Expand Strike Against Tesla

Tesla's mission statement is "to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy." This will always be unreachable if they can't even begin to consider work and social sustainability. Workers are a part of making sustainable energy. Don't bring the worst parts of American work culture to Sweden, if it does not fit with you mission, please leave, Sweden will survive without another car brand.

Are you worried about microplastics?

I assume you mean the clear plastic around the pods that gets sticky when you touch it with wet hands. Relevant YouTube short with Hank Green https://youtube.com/shorts/mm997MpLNeA?si=ZdBiX7ZTjbpLQMLS TLDW: you don't have to worry about this kind of plastic it is water soluble and turns into water and carbon dioxide when burned I believe.

Yes I am worried about microplastics in everyday things, for example drinking water from my tap. I am also worried about using plastics for anything food related that is heated up. As such i have removed all plastic containers in our kitchen that would be used near or with heat. Any containers remaining is only for cold foods and dry storage.

Alternatives to Adobe Creative Cloud for an easily frustrated boomer...

Research papers in creative cloud? I am guessing she is using something like InDesign or illustrator to make pdfs or maybe Acrobat? I think you need to clarify what her workflow entails to get better answers.

But going with my assumptions, it sounds like she can get away with using some kind of Office suit instead, maybe 365? not that it would solve the enshitification of apps problem.. But I do consider it a stable program both as installed apps and on the web. There are also endless tutorials and support to get if she is running into issues.

With that said, it is probably not worth it if she is a boomer. It would take a long time to get into a new workflow and it would affect her output. If she is used to adobe she should probably stick to it.
