I think the BEUC reaction came from the product itself not being carbon neutral. Apple paid for credits to "offset" the carbon released in production, but that carbon is still released in production. Also where they invested to get said credits is a timber plantation for making pulp, not a great carbon capture project.

To return to simile, it's like labeling a product as non-toxic because the toxins only release after a few years.

Cried a lot, called my mates, ingested hideous cocktail of substances, then stayed in bed for a week ordering food in and watching the entirety of game of thrones.

From someone firmly against the proliferation of firearms, I think taking a gun on a camping trip where there might be bears is a pretty solid idea.

Polymer bonded to frying pans to make them non-stick.

It's not a debate skill issue, it's an education issue. What bad faith actors do when pretending to debate is just real-time trolling, they're not interested in debate, and debating lends legitimacy to their idiocy. "Don't feed the troll." People need to educated enough that they themselves walk away from disingenuous debates and stop listening.

Decilitres/centilitres are relatively common, but they're the only ones that come to mind.

Came to recommend these too. Just all-round solid product. As mentioned though they fail a bit in noisy environments, but earplugs sort that out if you need. I do some ceramic machining at work and use shokz + earplugs so I can keep listening.

If a game costs what I'm willing to pay for it, I buy it, if it doesn't, I check G2A, if still not, wishlist and wait for sale. They can do what they like with prices but I've got my pain limit.

Apart from From Software stuff, I will buy all of those.
