Yes. Growing a tree from sapling to a giant trunk removes significantly more carbon from the atmosphere than an existing trunk sitting there at mass, unable to store much more carbon.

And yes, that’s why I clarified that new trees would need to be planted, right on the money.

I mean, they’re proving their point rather well, not sure why you feel the need to take pot shots at them :/

I mean, that’s the mechanism by which carbon is removed. It goes into tree, tree dies or gets cut down taking all the solidified carbon with it, new tree gets planted in its place to repeat the cycle. In fact, the fastest way to scrub carbon with the practice is to farm trees, assuming you do it sustainably.

I know, it’s a huge relief seeing this as someone who uses the free tier. I think I’ll cough up for the advanced tier if they stick to their guns on this decision.

Russia really has become “big North Korea”, sheesh

More proof that billionaires are treated like a special class that the law can’t touch. Cool.

Fucking good. Put the squeeze on them, they’re nothing without their workers, and constantly manipulating their employees and the job market to keep them as wage slaves is abusive at best.

I’m in PA and a lot of parts are still pretty hot for Trump (lots of big signs, every conversation is an opportunity for them to talk about their undying devotion, etc.). That is NOT to say that it’s unwinnable, but we really need to put the pedal on to keep the pace, since the default answer here is leaning back toward Trump.

Edit: That said, we’re one of the most important swing states this cycle, so not surprised things are just more political in general.

Yes, because kids catching polio from some asshole who won’t vaccinate or otherwise care for their own kids is their choice and what they want. Yup, totally apt comparison. /s

Yeah, no. iPhone VPN apps aren’t the route that Russian hackers are taking.

😬 I’m not sure how I’d feel about porn generated on a data set of potential STIs

To be fair, I was in the camp of “put a sock in it” until I reached a point of “alright FINE, I’ll give it a go” and now I’m joining the choir on it, desktop Linux is a dream.

I need to get off my ass and do the same, they deserve all the support in the world right now.

Don’t need to imagine for long.

Agreed. I’m sure if I was heads down in Excel for years beforehand it would be a significant downgrade, but as a casual user, making better use of some of the more advanced features became so, SO much easier with the Ribbon.

I’ve always been hugely in favor of it. It’s the one change that could maybe justify their gargantuan salaries – if your company causes harm and suffering, the leaders absolutely need to be put on the hook.

Jesus Christ that’s basically uninhabitable for any extended period of time

I mean, they’re one implementor of about 10 that use the same container standards. It sucks that they were first so their name is now synonymous with containers a la Kleenex, but the technology itself is standard, very open and ubiquitous, and a huge step forward in simplifying deployments and development lifecycles that would otherwise be too complex to reasonably handle.

My insurance site (MyCigna) started working a couple months ago, but for years it failed to log in. It’s those types of contracted apps that seem to fail the most for me, like apps you’d see on a company intranet.
