It's still around.

The amendment to USA's constitution that "banned" slavery did so EXCEPT as punishment for a crime.

USA also has astoundingly high incarceration rates per capita. Coincidence?

I also switched to a trackball for ergonomic reasons. Not carpal tunnel, something with my thumb. I think ulnar and radial deviation (left and right movement from the wrist) aggravated it. Trackballs helped, as did physio.

They were from Muji. Cotton slippers. The ones made from some kind of reed are gone.

Good point. But I don't know how it'd off-gas or if it'd leak onto stuff.

I'm a fan of using 3-in-1 oil for most things. Should be good for metal tracks.

Not food safe though. Not sure what to use on kitchen drawers.

 

They are soft.

Old ones were nice, but got worn out. Same model was no longer available.

WD-40 is a rather poor lubricant. Maybe OP is also talking about wooden drawers or somewhere food is stored? In those cases I'd not use WD-40 either.

Probably as effective as any other carbon capture and storage scam.

 

Oil production in the USA may drop 🥰

And also the year of the Linux desktop!

No mention at all of having fewer kids? That alone has a huge impact.

What about two year dust?

My wrists are too old for hand grinders!

 

I accidentally bought ground coffee instead of whole beans. So when the grinder ran out of beans, I took it apart and gave it a decent scrub. When I use it again, it should grind smoother and maybe even get the coffee tasting better.

 

Obvious missing element of the story: climate change.

 

Good article except the use of the propaganda term "oilsands", it should be "tar sands".

 

...the authors caution that the current pace of decoupling is insufficient to meet the global climate target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Less than half of the regions will be able to achieve net-zero by 2050

 

Azerbaijan’s president, Ilham Aliyev, told a climate conference in April: “Having oil and gas deposits is not our fault. It’s a gift from God.”

 

Maybe EVs are not a comprehensive climate solution??
