“can be” is doing some heavy lifting here. I confidently predict the amount actually recycled is a fraction of one percent

It would make a lot more sense if humans could just lay some sort of egg sac which we could keep in the garage for 9 months until it hatches. I honestly don’t know why biologists and geneticists haven’t dealt with this by now
3 dB is a doubling/having of sound pressure, so 3.5 is not nothing
These things only become meaningful when you look at emissions per capita AND remember that China manufactures large amounts of the world’s stuff. All your iPhone emissions count as China’s because it was manufactured there, but they really belong to your country. Same for loads of other stuff. Careful you don’t fall for the tenor of this article, because it’s probably intended to distract you (“Why should I bother when China is really bad?”) and keep you consuming
Important to know that real-world testing shows that PHEVs are rarely plugged in and just burn oil much of the time
Except people don’t plug in their hybrids and run them on fossil fuels. Hybrids are yet another way the FF industry keeps itself going while pretending things are being fixed
People need to hire vehicles occasionally rather than buy more polluting vehicles against some rare edge case
If anyone finds themselves in this position, you should ignore everything else and just look at the ERTO size, which should be on the tyre itself. This is a standard way of measuring tyres and wheels, and is much better than the old ways
Here’s a really good analysis of how it’s not true the Boomers have all the money - there are lots of very comfortable Millennials too. It’s more complicated than people like to think
Didn’t want to walk more than the absolute minimum distance, I suspect. And/or didn’t want their precious PCP baby out of their eyesight
Loads of people - probably most people - didn’t have Sky. When did shoveling cash at Murdoch become some sort of minimum entry level for society? Not having a TV would be vaguely interesting, but not having Sky means nothing
Hark at Simeon Stylites here
I got some of those Chipolo trackers shown in the photo. So far I’m pretty disappointed. Based on the locations being reported, I’m pretty sure my phone is the only one in my city working on the Find my Device system, and even that is intermittent. For example, I’ve left my bike, which has a Chipolo tracker hidden on it, in public places such as a busy train station. After two days on the station platform - with goodness knows how many Android phones passing by - the bike is still showing as being at home in my garage. Like, it didn’t even get logged on my own phone as I cycled to the station and left the bike and tracker there. The system really isn’t up to speed yet

The problem is that the populist, nationalist right tends to be good in opposition, because they can shout simplistic slogans and don’t have to actually deliver anything.
I’ll accept that the status quo might not support non-car travel. But this doesn’t mean it’s okay. What are people DOING about it? If they’re lobbying for change and pushing politicians, fine. But they’re not, are they? They’re buying pickup trucks
Yes, easy. (SUV MPG/car MPG) gives you the multiplier for how much more people are paying on every trip
It’s not even business - a lot of small planes are just hobbyists. So we’re getting poisoned (to say nothing of the noise pollution) by people flying in circles for fun
Windows 11 has better window shadows than Windows 10. That is literally the only improvement I’ve found
How surprising - an artificially subsidised industry wants more subsidy
