Because kids are addicted to social media

This is lemmy, it’s full of literal children

Corn on pizza is like calling Panda Express “Chinese” food. Like…eh close enough I don’t feel like arguing about it but I’ll give you weird looks.

Keep your panties on, no one is making policy based on this report. At most, people are viewing it with cautious optimism.

Whatever is quickest, cheapest, and most effective for the area. Which will be nuclear in some cases, geothermal in others, hydropower in others…we need to do whatever works best and not shoehorn ourselves into (or out of) any particular zero carbon source.

Funny enough that is one potential solution. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power

Probably simpler and cheaper to do wind power though.

We still need storage or alternative energy sources for nighttime and cloudy days.

Edit: weird, my other comment wasn’t showing up so I re commented and now both are showing

It’s a prediction. We don’t have accurate data for the current year.

And yesterday’s emissions continue to be smaller than today’s emissions. That is why it’s called accelerating emissions.

Not necessarily true. According to the article, it’s quite possible that yesterday’s emissions are the same as today’s emissions. Meaning, we’ve stopped increasing emissions.

Baseline load and nighttime load is still a problem, so either we need storage or we need additional sources.

Yes.

There’s always demand for heroin too. Demand doesn’t mean it’s good.

No, I disagree with the “sometimes”.

I’m not like, attending a protest rally or anything. I think it’s perfectly fine to spend literally 7 minutes of my day telling people that this movie is shit.

You “no one should ever express disagreement with anything” people need to chill.

Fuck you, minecraft is excellent. You just don’t like it because it’s popular.

This movie is bullshit but minecraft is excellent.

Yes a thousand percent. You can entertain young children by showing a dancing clown on a colorful flashing screen for 3 hours straight. Kids will love it. But that doesn’t make it a good movie.

A good kids movie is not a movie that appeals to kids. It’s a good movie that also appeals to kids.

I can’t imagine the series of incidents in your life that led you to draw such a wrong conclusion and yet call it logic.

You’ve really never heard the phrase “race to the bottom”?

Don’t use the passive voice.

Uber may restrict your hours because they don’t want to pay a fair wage.

As a society, we have a minimum wage for a very good reason.

We have minimum wage for a reason. We can’t allow companies to have a race to the bottom.

With personal vehicles sitting idle, I do think there should be scope left for some platform for drivers to offer services at any price at any time if they feel it is worthwhile. It increases mobility across the spectrum, and allows for better allocation of resources.

I don’t see why having drivere be employees would prevent this. If you’re driving, you’re on the clock. If you’re not, you’re not.

Alternatively, have a true network of contractors, with an Uber style company just creating a marketplace to facilitate connections between individuals offering and accepting rides. The company won’t set prices or schedules or payouts; it will allow drivers and riders to bid on fares. The company simply takes a small percentage from each transaction, or has a membership fee.
