This is nonsense. Cattle displaced bison in the USA, and they produce less methane per pound of meat.

But why would you say that? Have you reviewed the sources? If not, you're just making things up to believe. Your religious beliefs about Apple are not relevant.

If you have 1 bad cop and 10 more that let them get away with it, what you've got is 11 bad cops.
People are choosing unsustainably and will not do otherwise unless forced.
Sustainability is the most important thing.
Gas vehicle tech has not quite plateaued, but the cost of improvements is quite high and protectionism has kept them viable until now even without making improvements we know how to make. EVs are improving more quickly than they credibly could at this point so there aren't really sufficient returns to make it worth it.
Other countries have safety inspections like we mostly don't in the USA.
I mean, even compiling gentoo with the right use set is too hard for these bellyachers.
When I tried gentoo the first time, it worked. Last time I tried it, I used only innocuous USE flags and the build broke fairly early on, in stage2 of gcc IIRC. There's also no good reason to run it any more now that all PCs for ages have been amd64, it's not like the old days where we still had K6s.
Nothing like an app that implements a lockscreen to lock out a session with a password which can be bypassed by hitting ctrl + shift + backspace potentially dropping an evil-doer to a logged in console because X11/Xorg doesn't allow an app to trap keyboard inputs. #fixedbywayland.
Found the noob who can't find the DontZap option, which by the way is now the default.
Also found the noob who leaves himself logged into console sessions. They're the same noob!

So the problem with X is a people problem, there aren't any.
There were people. They left to go do Wayland. 15 years later it still doesn't work well or even do badly all the things they said it would do. So yeah, it's a people problem. And those people are in charge of Wayland.
No, not Antarctica, rather regions further away from the equator will become arable land even without it.
All credible projections for AGW show an overall reduction in arable land.
This is not just because it takes more than warming to make a cold place a good place to grow crops, but also because weather is becoming more chaotic, so you can't count on having a growing season anywhere... But especially at higher latitudes, where the lows will be lower.
Then they can just run Linux (preferably SELinux)
SElinux is not a kind of Linux. It is a feature of Linux.
My first PC was a two-user CP/M M/PM PC. It had 64MB of memory per user
ITYM 64kB
The downfall of CP/M and M/PM was that the once again, standards were loose.
The downfall was that it was tied to a slow processor (not when it was new, but not so long thereafter) and it had no hierarchical file system which was already an expected feature of a real OS.
But apparently, in the U.S. mind, non-trucks are not able to tow.
Nissan chose not to give it a rating because in this country we expect to tow heavy loads, not just lawn tractors or pedal boats, and they were afraid that someone would tow something heavy with it and they would wind up in court over it. Literally every other vehicle they sold in 2008 was rated for towing including the minivan.
Keep in mind that at the time they didn't believe in irrational numbers, negative numbers, nor non-Euclidean geometry.
I never understood the towing capacity argument. My tiny compact with a 1.6 liter Diesel engine has a towing capacity of 3400 pounds.
The '24 F150 will tow up to 13,500 lb (SuperCrew, 6.5â box, 4Ã--4, 3.5L) and all models will tow at least 8,200 lb. And that's just the least of the F-Series, but it is the world's most popular vehicle if you add up all the models so it's the obvious example...
If you want to tow around a big boat or a decently-sized travel trailer, your tiny compact won't do that. Neither will mine, for that matter — I have a 2008 Versa with a 1.8l gas engine and 132 bhp, with no avowed tow rating at all in this country. Supposedly in other markets it's rated for 1323 lb without trailer brakes, or 2204 lb with.
