Damn, I made this exact joke 1 minute more slowly.

With how wide dwarves are, their asses must naturally be huge. It's just that you're too hightist to notice.

It's important to note what purification tablets do and don't do. They kill bacteria, some viruses and many parasites. They don't remove chemical pollution, or biological toxins.

You should use them if you want to drink from open water like steams and ponds, but it won't, say, remove factory effluent. It will prevent getting diseases from human or animal waste, which is the main risk.

But it won't make the water taste like it didn't come from a pond.

I get some vegeterian people visibily upset that I'm eating "their" food when they know I usually eat meat.

Unless you're at a place where you're literally taking physical food, leaving them none, that's just moronic

It's mostly an artefact from how we measure it.

Chocolate demand is rising, which means cocoa demand is rising. It grows best in really warm places, where there's plenty of readily available mountainous land that's currently covered by old growth forest. They farm cocoa very unsustainably, by illegally logging the land, growing beans for 5 to 8 years, and moving on (following the illegal loggers). We've decided to place the CO2 impact on the cocoa, not the wood though, probably due to lobbying.

That land use change drives climate impact of chocolate. Milk drives the rest.

Why the hell don't they capture the methane and sell it?

It's really hard. Most methane comes directly from the cow, and cows spend most of their time in air. The methane gets mixed in the air, in very small percentages. Extracting a small bit of methane from a lot of air is complex and energy Intensive, and methane is cheap.

So you'd spend a lot of money and power to produce very little money or power.

Oh yeah, I meant when untreated.

Faxes are secure after sending. The only way for a third party to get a fax is to physically tap the line at the time of transmission, or to break into the building and steal the paper.

Email sits online, where everyone can get at it unless you prevent it. Faxes sit in a drawer, behind the locks you already have.

What is that? I mean, other than "cuuuuuute"

Yeah, but the bugs at least aren't opportunistic.

 

There are a whole bunch of options to mark posts as read, but as of yet, I can't seem to find an option to actually hide to posts.

Am I missing something, or does marking a post just grey it out?
