Got to keep us buying more somehow…

Was not one a convicted criminal? Wondering when the jail time kicks in though?

Was the tittle not “Groundhog Day Reloaded”?

Soon we will all be plastic. Its already in our food and water.

What i really think about is these are only the effects so far from the plastics that have started to break down from when plastics were created (smaller quantities). What happens when the plastics of today start to break down (larger quantities).

Kind of like the effects of oil (air pollution) being felt 30-50 years down the line.

I have tested both lingding and linkwarden. Lingding was easy to use and did the basics in bookmark management. Though I settled on linkwarden for its saving of webpages in different formats with folder and subfolder organisation in the UI.

Both are good options, but linkwarden seem to be more power user focused.

Until they pull a Microsoft and start throwing ads into the paid model as well.

Or like all the other streaming platforms that you paid a subscription for to not see ads, but believe it or not you now have ads.

Good point on the taxation, as taxing automaton may result in less incentive to automate.

IMO the Star Trek type utopia would only work if we had replication technology like they have in the show. Those machines that essential make anything you want from food/water to material things out of thin air.

I believe OP was referring to a utopian Star Trek style UBI where all things are provided with matter replication. Essential life at that point is the betterment of ones self and evwyone around them.

But you are correct in our world currently UBI would work more as a cushion or buffer. It would ideally allow individuals that are stuck in jobs they hate, to move to jobs they actually enjoy and are good at.

It would mean less fear of loosing a job and give workers more power. You would not be able to live on the wage at your current life style, but it would allow you to at least survive in someway if you lost your job.

I believe the best way for something like this to get implemented is by taxation of businesses that have automated they workforces. For example a car production line has removed human roles and replaced them with machines, or a store removed cashiers and replaced them with self checkouts.

Its funny that basis things like working plumbing, or access go clean water could be considered luxurious.

I would keep my current job as well but take a day off each week (instead of one of my weekend days) to cleanup my surrounding neighbourhood. I would probably use the extra income to repair some wood benches, buy paint to cleanup graffiti on walls, and throw down grass seeds along local trails.

This right here unfortunately, the glue will cost more if you only use the glue once. We live in a world where items are easier/cheaper to throw out then repair.

Though I guess the cheapest thing you could do is drill a hole on the backside with a drill and put a screw through it. Only a short screw that goes into the cylinder/shaft.

Also fyi, most plastics from the dollar store are not guaranteed to be toxic free. You may find most of these plastics melt on pans with use over time and might end up being consumed. Usually what I opt for is metal on a metal pan or silicon cooking utensils that don’t seem to melt or loose peices of them in what I am cooking.

When something gets removed from steam and it’s in your steam library but not installed, is it gone forever?

You could use a throwaway email and signup for an account. The account creation is a little tricky if you don’t use a “real name” but a name generator website may help in this, or use a combination of two tv character names.

Also use a privacy oriented web browser that signs you out each time, something like mule for android or librewolf for desktops.

One thing not to do is use the FB app or the messenger app on your phone, instead do everything on a browser.

I would find this interesting and useful as well, especially as one of the things holding me back from ditching chrome all together is all my bookmarks.

Would love to somehow import them all into linkwarden to have a centralized bookmark location.

Where nothing is real and everything is original.

Guess there is not enough “pack in and pack out” signs installed around the area.

Seriously though, Everest should start requiring expedition groups to bring down bodies of any of its members that drop dead. Though it may be difficult if conditions are hostile and such.

Litter is definitely a huge issue on the mountain. Individuals should bring down twice than they brought up. If you bring up a bottle you bring down two.

Everything you bring with you, you take back with you. This includes the bodies.

Jokes aside, it’s just good manners to always leave an area cleaner than you found it. This means pick up after yourself and anything extra you find in the area.

The older I get the more I agree with Agent Smith.
