Unless you have a dedicated source of renewable energy that does not feed excess back into the grid, all the electricity you use has the exact same mix of fossil and renewable as the grid you're connected to.

That is an argument for improving the fuel sources used by the grid, not an argument against switching to things that can physically be powered by renewables.

Aren't those Nigella seeds?

If they are Chia (or anyone wants to make this with Chia), make sure they're properly soaked. They're so thirsty for water they can cause some awful bowel problems if you eat them dry.

If you try to ban breeds you just get an ever-expanding list of banned breeds, and penalise good owners alongside bad. People who want dogs as a weapon, or who want the look but can't put the time in, will always find new breeds to abuse.

Leash-laws, compulsory muzzling, licencing for larger dogs, and training for owners are much more effective. This problem is exploding (again) because so many inexperienced people got dogs during the pandemic and now don't have the time to spend with them.

The problem isn't going to disappear just because you can name a new hate-breed of the month. All doggoes are good doggoes, too many owners let them down. We can do something about that, if we want to.

You should probably read the whole article before dismissing it. Easily the most sensible thing I've seen written about this.

They're not weighing every passenger forever. They just want to get reliable stats on the average per passenger.

The article states that the information will be kept private.

He should not be prosecuted for material published by Wikileaks.

He should stand trial for rape in Sweden.

That is all.

It's not at all clear that what you're saying is true now: They thought loved ones were calling for help. It was an AI scam.

And it's a nailed-on guarantee that it won't remain true for very long at all.

This is the kind of thing that AI actually is good at. Hollywood will use it to make out like bandits and so will criminals.

There's a lot of hyped-up scaremongering about AI but this particular cat is out of this particular bag.

I'm European. Tiny cities exist here too. As do food deserts. When most people drive, local shops and bus services disappear, and people without cars get stranded.

The city of less than 50,000 people

Very small, yes.

Exactly

Furthermore, the boards themselves typically include fellow C-Suite executives, leading to elite back-scratching as well as a never-ending upward spiral of executive compensation as companies compare their CEO salaries to others.

They're not incentivised to get the best value for money. They're setting the benchmarks by which their own pay is decided.

It's nothing like a market. Who do you imagine the individuals are who set the CEOs pay, and how do you think their pay is decided?
