Biggest sources:

  • 7.6 Mt from macro plastics breaking down
  • 1.3 Mt from paint
  • 1.0 Mt from tyres

10-40 Mt released into environment/year, and increasing.

Pearl jam is my favorite band also, and Riot act is probably also my favorite album of theirs.

If you like Pearl jam, I'd recommend my favorite album of all times: Soundgarden's Superunknown.

Some of my lesser-known, non-grunge favorites:

Wouldn't it be better to go back a little further back in time, and give the weapons before the flogging and rapes?

And greed, well you gotta be wealthy in order to afford giving God a nice juicy tithe. Also gotta be self sufficient.

According to Luke 16:13 Jesus said “You cannot serve both God and money.”

Mark 10:21 “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

A biosphere that becomes unlivable is an emergency. The biggest and root cause of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change is human overpopulation:

The fact that the biggest and root cause of a mass extinction event is being reduced is not an emergency, it's good.

Yes. We need a fertility rate of about 0.01 for several decades, because human overpopulation is the root cause and biggest cause of catastrophic climate change:

If we choose not to vote in parties to make such laws, we'll be culpable in letting the anthropocene extinction event become a mass-extinction event - wiping out more than 50% of genera and more than 70% of species. If you think too few honey bees are bad, imagine how catastrophic it would be for most living species to go extinct, including almost all the small life forms in the oceans which provide the majority of the biosphere's oxygen.

Human overpopulation is the biggest cause of anthropogenic climate change, and the root cause of almost all existential and major ethical problems facing us.

Becoming a biological parent while our fertility rate is catastrophically and unsustainably high, causes by far more CO2e pollution than anything else.

We shouldn't just tax these omnicidal people, we should vote in parties that'll make laws to jail or hang people making the world unlivable.

opossum is naturally immune to rabies

The CDC says they're not, they just rarely have rabies: https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/rabies/pdf/vs-0612-wildlife-rabies-h.pdf

The way the 4th panel leads your eyes up to the 2nd is amazing: 5 panels for the size of 4.

 

Edit: copying the font to /usr/local/share/fonts/ fixed it. (I downloaded Debian Xfce a while ago because of how much I dislike Snap, so I'll soon replace Xubuntu with it.)

I recently installed the font “Atkinson Hyperlegible” on Xubuntu 22.04.3 (via right click, Fonts 41.0), and I use it as the Xfce UI font and the default in Mousepad and LibreOffice without any problems.

However in Firefox 120.0.1 (64-bit), Snap for Ubuntu, canonical-002 - 1.0; it’s not listed at Edit, Settings, Fonts; or Fonts, Advanced…

When I view an HTML page where the CSS’ body has font-family:"Atkinson Hyperlegible",sans-serif; it also doesn’t use the Atkinson font. That page also doesn’t use Atkinson in the (Epiphany GNOME) Web 45.1 browser.

Any ideas on how to get Firefox and Epiphany to see it?

 

Did the Staten-Generaal supervise the Heeren XVII, was it the other way round, were they usually the same people, or did it not work like that?
