The UN does not supply arms to Israel. The UN has passed many resolutions condemning Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, going back decades. They have literally already done everything the UN can do, many times over. They weren’t a governing body with binding powers over where the US sends arms, or who France chooses to support.

So I’d have to say that your comment is less effective than their walkout, because it isn’t even properly informed.

Ah theologians. When we invented agriculture so that not everyone had to work on gathering food, this enabled some of us to specialize in advanced skills. But theology, wow. What a waste of time. Get those dudes out in the fields.

Can you say more about the written content part? I’m not sure I understood. Are you giving YT creators scripts for videos?

SWISH SWISH you have bested my patience! SWISH SWISH lol ok bye dude

At this point the suggestions are getting pretty out there. So far I’ve heard in this thread that I should switch to Linux, download this and that code from GitHub, build my own keyboard and design a circuit board for it.

I think I’ll just take the adware.

Ooooookay thanks.

Hm, well, we use the plastic bag recycling bin at Safeway for all our plastic bags, shrink wrap, and bubble envelopes. We dropped off 8 bags this weekend. I wonder if they will get rid of that bin now?

Costco packs everything this way and it’s great.

I don’t understand… my local Safeway here in California still offers only single use plastic bags. They are a somewhat thick bag but still single-use, not some permanent thing you own.

The day MLK was shot, he was in that city to help with a sanitation workers strike. The workers were asking for a couple of things including some way to wash up before leaving to go home. In those days people just threw mixed trash into metal cans unbagged, where the food waste would bleed out their juices and rot all week until garbage day. And those guys had to heave those cans up by hand to dump them out. AND they weren’t given so much as a sink to wash up in before their long bus ride home!

Learning about that made be appreciate the humble garbage bag a lot more.

But I have been using the biodegradable bags for both the trash and the compost for some years now. They are terrible bags and more expensive but it’s something I can deal with and it cuts down on plastic waste.

The real thing you’re going to have trouble with is food packaging. I hear you that people got along without plastics in the 1940s but I’d really like to hear a plan for how we’re going to deliver food to people in today’s world without all the plastics. I mean I really would like to hear that plan! I think it will be hard but we can certainly do a lot more.

It’s just a long way to “medical use only.” The amount of plastic used in Agriculture alone is one of the top sources of plastic in the US. It’s used in sheets to suppress weeds in crop fields, and it is arguably a better alternative than herbicides.

You can’t make your point. And I’m not impressed by this attempt to make it look like you’re just choosing not to because SWISH SWISH you’re just too cool for that.

I think you’re projecting those expectations onto it. I’m totally fine to hear that a notable city has successfully implemented a cool technology even if it’s not some world first for science, and I don’t think the headline overhypes this for what it is.

I have no thoughts on the hypothetical of what if YT starts showing ads on Premium.

If they ever finish SF it will kind of feel wrong.

But I guess there have been generation projects in the past. They Pyramids, etc.

We just finally get to see what one feels like.

It is, though, as the name of the community implies, “technology.”

Did you click on the article? It’s made very clear very early in the article that they have added regenerative braking systems to the trains. This is well established technology. It’s in every Prius since 1997 so I would think you wouldn’t be confused about whether this is perpetual motion or if they are making grand claims of net energy surplus. It doesn’t say any of that. It’s cool that they are applying the technology in this way. Why does this seem confusing to you?

Sublime, bro, oh my god!

He wasn’t thinking ahead there was he. But then again in the Sith world, a clone of you would probably stab you in the back and replace you. The rule of 2 doesn’t allow clones ;D

Piracy, cable TV, cord cutting.

You’re throwing a lot of words together without making any argument.

YT is winning the battle against blockers as evidenced by the extreme vitriol toward them here right now.

YT are winning at business: they are massively successful.

YT are winning competitively. Just listen to the cries of monopoly around here. That’s how strong YT are.

YT won my business by making something I use every day and mostly can’t find a substitute for.

What are they losing again? They’re not even losing the ad blocker users, who clearly and obviously depend greatly on YT or they wouldn’t be so mad that their free ride is over.

Explain to me again how someone who writes an ad blocker gives you the idea that YT is supposed to be creating an egalitarian world? That part made no sense.

It’s not a “maybe” for me. I haven’t seen a YT ad in years. That’s Premium.

That’s exactly right!
