  • China Installed More Solar Panels Last Year Than the U.S. Has in Total

    Jump

  • They do. I boycott Chinese made goods, and I don't make much money. It just requires a small amount of introspection on if I need the item. It has actually turned out I buy much much less because what I do buy is of quality and lasts.

    Cosmetics, Household goods and food are easy and generally fairly locally made and produced, unless you insist on buying exotic fruits or stuff way out of season.

    Clothes, shoes, anything fabric, again easy. Massive market of quality eco-friendly EU/US/UK made stuff that means I pay $30 for a lovely shirt that will last me decades than $5 a shirt that was made by a child in Myanmar and fall apart within the year. So I am slowly developing a modest wardrobe of high quality natural fibres.

    You don't really need much else. But it just takes a moment to Google and consume conscientiously.

    Some stuff is nearly impossible and is actually outside of your control like fuel and SOME electrical devices. But nothing can be perfect.

  • Haha the irony of you coming out so strongly after your original statement is gold.

  • Women STEM students up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism

    Jump

  • They probably haven't. My experience was a lot of these guys were on the spectrum and the only social understanding of women they have is media. I would say the sexism is very malicious from the faculty, but from fellow students a lot of them this is the first time they've been allowed away from their helicopter parents and to begin learning social skills, sadly at your detriment.

  • Ah, yes NATO must protect the Balkans

    Jump

  • Yep. A true open war between NATO and Russia, with nukes banned, would be an unbelievably one sided advance into Moscow.

  • Honda debuts new global EV series, Honda Zero, coming in 2026

    Jump

  • Practical EVs exist too. It's an open market so there will be something for everyone I'm sure. If you really hate EV design you can buy the conversion kits for a classic.

  • Styles are changing, I guess they're focus grouping it and people want cars from blade runner. No longer requiring a radiator or exhaust has actually produced some interesting designs.

  • Star Citizen Introducing a $48,000 Ship Bundle, but Only for Players Who Have Already Spent $10,000

    Jump

  • The gamer careful with his money has already bought Elite Dangerous on sale for less though. Even $45 for what is currently being offered is embarrassing.

  • UK firm develops jet fuel made from human poo | The starting material is generated in excess and available in plenty. It is a win-win for everyone that the waste is repurposed.

    Jump

  • I hope we do pull off a 90th minute 720 backflip into futurist utopia, that would be mega. But until people start doing basic stuff like voting in their interest, I'm going to prepare for the worst.

  • To be even more doomer, people will have to stop living their lives when we run out of everything, so we might as well start winding down now.

  • YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users

    Jump

  • You need to inform yourself about advertising. Go and look up Edward Bernays. You literally can't stop ads affecting you, except by eliminating them. You think you're being a critical consumer, but you're right where they want you.

  • YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users

    Jump

  • So you want to constantly be a slave to your consumerist impulses as you uncritically consume everything thrown at you, despite all the evidence that these companies can literally manipulate your perception of reality through targeted political advertising and echo chambers? Enjoy your terrifying dystopia, but at least you think you're getting a 'local deal' so who cares, right?

  • Do you people all just have big cakes in your fridge? Then you get up in the night to eat them? Really weird.

  • Buying a new car is not better than keeping an old one

    Jump

  • Without electric VEHICLES* climate change cannot be addressed. Expensive new electric cars are not the solution. Electric public transport, retrofitting old vehicles, making current vehicles last, and people adopting two wheeled electric solutions will be the solution. Cars like Teslas are awful and buying one shouldn't be considered making a difference.
