I presume he means leave the diamotaceous earth, not leave your house. You sleep normally after putting it down.

Never seen bedbugs in the UK, never known anyone with an infestation either. They're extremely uncommon.

They are different things.

I find that as a touch typist, I tend to be able to tell if I've made a mistake as I made it, I don't really need to see the screen

But it still displays an upward trend in car size, in Europe as in the US

If the infrastructure in the US gave less space to cars, cars would be forced to stay relatively small. If we in Europe also had huge roads everywhere, no pavements, no cycle paths etc, we'd also have much larger cars.

Create more small, local neighbourhoods with everything needed in them. Make sure everyone has a grocery store, a school, a doctor's office, and green space like a park within walking distance.

Lots of animals exhibit clear sentience, it's sapience that we're unsure of.

Keep your fingers in your ears, you'll be regretting this attitude in 10 years.

You should be keeping up with AI news. It's going to impact all of us in a major way, best way to reduce negative impacts is to be informed about what's happening.

ICE bans won't prevent people from buying used cars.

Wow, this is fantastic. Love the 'guess' game mode.

The problem is decades of underfunding of health services. Neoliberals in charge like having reasons for increasing privatisation of healthcare, so they underfund, reduce quality, increase wait times, and attempt to get the public on board with more privatisation.

The patient's left and patient's right are always going to be the same, regardless of which way the patient is facing. It'll change it from the doctor's perspective, but that's irrelevant since you're only looking at it from the patient's.

In most cases, the protests were perfectly peaceful until the police escalated with tear gas and rubber bullets.

You can give employees social events, and also give non-insulting rewards. Separately.

On the noise issue, I saw one company recently have the idea of keeping the main drone itself at a relatively high altitude, high enough that you can't hear it, and lowering its cargo along with an extra device for stability/maneuverability down below. Called zipline.

Of course, still far too small to be able to deliver e.g. a fridge, but can easily handle your typical food or small package deliveries.

There are two things at play here: one is the very real, very negative impact that humanity (as a whole) is having on the environment. Two is the corporate/media machine trying extremely hard to divert attention away from themselves, and put the onus on individual people.

Make sure you put that plastic bottle in the recycling (never mind that the vast majority of it isn't going to be recycled anyway). Oh, ignore those new coal power plants, ignore us restricting green investments, ignore us lobbying to keep fossil fuels around for longer.

The climate change movement is good for humanity. Corporate media are, and have always been, trying to co-opt it.

There is absolutely nothing convincing in Christian theology & apologetics unless you are already a Christian.

Both seat and lid should be closed before flushing, to reduce spray. Has the additional benefit of requiring both men & women to lift something before using it.

Windows has been dying for me since Windows 8

Always was.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind in-office work if I could walk it.

As long as the walk isn't along super polluted roads, or litter-filled streets.

During covid, I got laid off from my job as a graphic designer. I spent the next year on a web dev course, fully remote, but with regular virtual meetings with 'classmates' and tutors (once a week), and Discord groups for chatting via text/asking for help.

I then got a web dev job, which turned out to be full-time in-office. I adjusted, but I resented, and still resent, being in the office. It's not for me. I don't have my kitchen, I don't have my expensive office chair, I don't have my good keyboard and mouse, I don't have my comfortable living room for when I'm on my lunch breaks, I find I get significantly worse sleep, and the commute stresses me out a ton (as well as costing an absolute fortune).

It's definitely a problem that divides people, with some firmly on the in-office side and others wanting to be at home. Businesses really should be catering for both.

Crock of shit. My commute:

- Steals 10 hours of my time every week. I could spend 10 extra hours with my family, get better sleep, or actually have time for the gym

- Costs me thousands a year. Money wouldn't be so tight if I had the £200 extra a month my commute costs me.

- Causes ridiculous stress with all the dumbshits on the roads

- Force me to spend 2 hours a day in a car surrounded by other polluting vehicles

- Means I have no access to my kitchen to cook fresh, healthy meals without worrying about having to transport them to work/heat them up in gross microwaves

- Means that I can't make the most of my solar panels, which give me free electricity... during the hours I'm at work.

Siting in my car for 2 hours a day, getting increasingly stressed, is absolutely not good for my mind and body. Especially when I know I could be sat at home, in a relaxing environment, with all the comforts of home.

No, thank you

I take it you need to live in London for this? Else I don't understand how I'm supposed to figure it out?

Oh no, paying people what they're worth instead of exploiting those in poorer countries, how terrible

It's way too early to add these bots to search engines. Non-techy people are going to use them and trust them, and never click the linked sources. Treating internet forum comments as sources for answers is wild.

It's not such a problem with normal search results, since you can clearly see it's a post from a rando on a forum when you click the result. I'd wager that 90+% of people using Bard, or Bing's version, will not click through to the sources.

So it will spew the latest lies that have been posted online then I guess, if it's using internet comment forums as sources?

Explain how this is the workers owning the means of production, please.
