Buying a brand new electric car to replace a relatively new ICE is not a great solution.

That is absolutely sound.

However and if the cartoon said that, it would be fine

HeartyBeast,
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

Indeed.

I'm in London. I cycle to work and use the tube network and bus network whenever I can. I also have a private car which I use for trips where public transport or my bike is impractical. It's a 2016 model, I expect that it may need replacing in 5 years time. If I took the cartoon at face value, I might think it makes no difference from a climate chang perspective whether I choose petrol or electric - and this is clearly wrong.

I don't agree that they are the same.

It's just that the difference is infinitely small

HeartyBeast,
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

Well, you state that as a fact, but I’m going to say that the difference is infinitely small, so they are equal

Always refer to the whole of threadiverse as ‘Lemmy”.

(Hello from kbin)🙂

To be fair, I think this is quite understandable

Very natty

I've always worn a watch. I got myself a smartwatch when my kids kept insisting on texting me, while I was cycling home - usually while I wasa half way up a hill. Much better than rummaging to get my phone only to find it was some bit of nonsense.

Subsequently bought an Apple Watch 4 which I still have today and wear daily. I find it very sndy for reminders, as a fitness tracker and like the Apple Maps haptic direction prompts

I think enabling the functionality would require too much back-office and vendor integration to make it a feasible lie. Too many people would know about it - and the risks from lying and saying 'not enabled' are too great.

If they had been enabled - and found out - the recommended lie would be "we are currently undertaking a small-scale trial of the technology to assess it's effectveness. We will be report on the results early next year as part of a wider public consultation into it's wider deployment". (Why yes, I have worked in public sector comms).

I think there were talking about choosing another channel

They have a small pack of these in London zoo - always were a favourite of mine.

Loads. Not just seabirds, but lots of heath and farmland birds too.

Puffins were almost impossible to see, though. We went in Easter when they are there nesting. Their burrows are on a cliff edge and you could only really see them from a neighbouring cliff/headland. Both binoculars you could just about make them out from their distinctive orange feet

They will finally release HURD

I thought the 1st Captain Marvel was pretty fun. I don’t have much of an interest in seeing this though.

HeartyBeast,
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

Oooh. What are your favourite films?

This seems pretty dismissive of the work that field ecologists and botanists do - and the rigorous nature of their work

I don't think meat substitutes is is the major problem to worry about. In fact, perhaps they could help?

It’s low risk - or, it’s at least a more quantifiable risk. It’s easier for studios to be able to estimate the returns on investment

HeartyBeast,
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

I see you haven’t sorted out your pension yet

HeartyBeast,
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

Ah, I’m seeing “ Study suggest men refuse to ditch meat because it threatens their masculinity”

HeartyBeast,
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

My apologies, when I read the article originally, it had a very different headline.

Edit Original headline I saw was: "New study finds that masculine language, reshapes men’s perspectives on vegan dishes "

HeartyBeast,
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

Pretty bad editorialising of the headline there, OP. That's really not what the study showed. It was more nuanced than that.

Interesting. Doesn't just change the colour - the woman in the headdress also loses her smile.
