Also: animal ag uses 80% of all arable land with most of it destined for grazing land (which a lot of (rain-)-forest had to be razed for) while only producing 17% of global calories and 38% of global proteins. The rest comes from human edible plants. A global switch to a plant based diet would reduce land usage from 4 to 1 billion. It's still possible to re-wild grazing lands.

RustRover. AI is turned off. Love it. Though I'm somewhat OK with NeoVIM keystrokes, I fear it will take a lot of time to get to the level of comfort in debugging, auto complete, run configurations, import management, linting etc. I have with RustRover.
I like his over the top super dumb villains in Zoolander and Between Two Ferns.
Same in "Carnage" but damn he's good in those roles. Though the movie was actually carried by Foster and Winslet.
You've fallen for a smear campaign from a group called "Center for Organizational Research and Education" formerly known as "Center for Consumer Freedom". You can look up their other campaigns here and form an opinion about from where they get their money and which groups they target:

This is specifically on the PETA case:
https://crescentcitytimes.com/richard-berman-the-slander-campaign-against-peta/
Yes PETA helped euthanize pets. But so do many many other shelters around the globe every day as they're overflowing from strays and pets from irresponsible owners and scummy breeders. PETA has a video on their website showing that they did it for cases that could not realistically be rescued. Lifelong neglected pets with very little chances of surviving and multiple diseases. Also a reminder, most of us are responsible for killing animals daily. But it's ok as those are bred for it.
A collegue just told me after I repeatedly asked him to repeat himself as I didn't understand him that he always had the problem of speaking to quietly. After his wife told him he regularily tried to speak louder which lead to him speaking to loud and getting complaints on that. Now he's back at the old volume.
I determine within the PKGBUILD (which I view from octopi) the URLs where code or binaries are downloaded from and then if those URLs seem trustworthy, e.g. how many stars or maintainers the github repo has. When the repo is small and doesn't qualify for the latter criterias, I do a git clone and skim over the sources on the lookout for malicious URLs or strange code (never found anything in that regard). Also search for the package on https://aur.archlinux.org/ and look if other users have anything to say and how many votes it has.
But also the sugar and fat part has pretty serious consequences in parts of the world like Diabetes type 2 and the displacement of traditional cooking and is linked to political issues like lobbying. This long NYT article from 2017 about Nestles manipulation of eating habits in poor comunities in Brazil shows the impact (don't know if it has gotten better, though). Even obese people can be malnutritioned and once you aquired Diabetes Type 2 it can only be remedied, not cured.

I know next to nothing about this topic but heard in an interview with Ventura, that Hogan was the only one of that league (or how they call it) who had already signed a fat contract with a higher league and that the unionization would have put that into risk of not proceeding.
Edit: Found the interview. It was a bit different than I remembered but not much.

Or at least feed the dogs plant based and phase out having cat as pets. IIRC it's 20% of all livestock in the US that's killed just for cats and dogs and about 70% of that 20% is for dogs on top of my head. Dog can live fine if not better on a well formulated plant based dog food. Just look at some of the reviews for Purina HA Vegetarian (it's vegan btw) dog food. A lot of dog owners cured the gastro intestinal and lot of other problems their dogs had with it. I'm not affiliated. There are other well formulated plant based foods like AMI successfully used by many dog owners. Just seen a video on "The Dodo" of a dog who was at the verge of being put down because of weight loss till the veterinary got the idea the dog could have a meat allergy and advised said Purina food. The dog is now healthy and thriving again. That diet change on a global scale would take a huge burden off of the environment.

Bagger 288 and Bagger 293 were fully electric, AFAIK. 1995 already. Tallest terrestrial vehicle.
Tons (excuse the pun) of different electric excavators seem to exist already (e.g. from Hitachi). I'm sure even those which are powered via cables won't go to a diesel generator and the electricity they get can very well come from renewables.
In Nordic European countries already 17% of their trucks drive battery electric.
I heard with the Hormuz situation there's a substantial push to electrify the truck flotillas right now in the rich EU countries. Many postal vehicles are electric also.
No objection regarding (jet-)planes or cargo-ships. Know nothing about the details but could imagine those to be hard to optimize for weight with a myriad of batteries for long hauls in unpredictable power requirements.
