No, it is illegal to feed the offal to pigs. You're just spouting propaganda, or ignorance at worst. Maybe the other way, maybe the propaganda is worse than your ignorance.
The main point is the human consumption of the meat has already been used to count all the carbon / global warming contribution so you can not count it twice by also counting it for pets.
More to your point, I encourage you to eat the offal. The skin. The bones. The organs. The guts. The stomach and intestine contents (manure). The feathers. Enjoy.
This study is completely wrong. Cat and dog food are made with the offal, the meat by products that humans don't want to eat. Thus the cat and dog food contribute 0% to the impacts of meat production in the United States.
When you use a waste stream you don't contribute to the problem, you contribute to the solution.
This study reads like propaganda. Unfortunately ill-informed people will believe it.
This Balkanization of codecs is a mess. Consumers, and developers, just want it to work. Let's see... I've got enough old DVDs and VHSs to watch for a decade... Maybe time to sit out this fight.
There is no good excuse for this sort of obsolescence. Apple has the ability to both one time and dynamically recompile as well as emulate. They and any OS manufacturer can fix this problem. It is time for regulations that enforce a rule that OS companies stop creating obsolescence but must instead maintain legacy support.
The drop outs they want to hire aren't applying for jobs because they're busy starting their own companies. I started my own companies and completed college and worked full time. It was frankly nuts and I would have been better off dropping out to just start my own companies. No customer has EVER asked me for my diploma or even where I went to college. They want to know I'll solve their problems, not what my education was.
Actually, I do computer models and I farm and I am a scientist. So I know a lot about the real world, computer modeling and such. Your attack is not valid. Try debating the issue rather than attacking the person.
The only feature I'm interested in with YouTube Red is the background play in my iPodTouch (e.g., iOS/iPhone). The monthly cost is too much to bother so I find the audio programs elsewhere.
2040 is far enough off that the current politicians can make all the promises they want and not suffer any repercussions from failing to meet that goal nor any backlash from folks who object.
2040 is also far enough off that we might reasonably make the transition from fossil fuels by then as that is a long time in technological terms.
On the other hand, I have 1968, 1986, 1996 and 2004 delivery vans and there is not a whole lot of difference between them. They all get about the same gas mileage. In fact, they get about the same mileage full or empty. The biggest thing you can do when driving a larger vehicle is make sure you're always carrying at capacity for this reason. It's called backhauling. When we make deliveries we also pickup up spent barley and such for our pastured pig farm to optimize our time and vehicle usage. That makes more difference than doubling the gas mileage.
In Vermont, where we're located, they aren't quite as optimistic as the UK politicians so they set the deadline for this sort of thing to be 2050 to give another decade of slack.
Dang! This almost makes me wish I had student loans instead of working 50 hours a week to get through college and pay as I went. It would have been a lot easier.
It is already too late. In fact, it always was too late. Regulations don't stop people from doing things. Laws don't stop people from doing things. Otherwise we would not have police or criminals. No matter what you do for laws and regulations someone, somewhere will make a General AI. Elon is like the little Dutch boy with his finger stuck in the Dyke's hole. He, you, I can lament but it isn't going to stop GAI. The only solution is to create the first GAI which is benevolent towards us but in turn protects us from any malevolent GAI.
Amazon is a boon for rural folk. There are NO stores in our town.
Drive further to the next towns beyond that and there is only an expensive gas station with a very limited and high priced selection chips, soda, milk, candy, ice cream, etc.
If you drive for about 60 minutes round trip there is a town with limited selection of goods in stores, a hardware store, a lumber yard, a few restaurants and grocery store.
My purchases on Amazon are not taking dollars away from local stores, not even stores within an hour of me. Rather I'm buying things I simply can _NOT_ buy here. I would have to drive another hour to get even a quarter of the things I get on Amazon and even then there are many things I simply could not get.
This is very common in rural areas. Urbanites, who make up most of Slashdotters, don't understand this so they are not likely to appreciate just how wonderful Amazon is for rural folk.
The other issue on this topic is that many people seem to think that Amazon is some monolithic seller. Amazon is not. Amazon is more like a mall filled with many small and larger sellers. Amazon helps some of those sellers with fulfillment but most of all Amazon offers search features, product description and reviews. All of these are valuable and NOT available through local or even regional stores in the brick-and-mortor world.
Yes, and we need lots of non-thinkers to support the thinkers. Not everyone can be a researcher, a rocket scientist, etc. We also need farmers, plumbers, mechanics, clerks, etc.

Speaking of propaganda, your post is full of it.

Are you calling Ivy League colleges and universities diploma mills? Hmm... Ah, I see you post as an Anonymous Coward. I guess that's the way you went.

It is amazing to me that people do this sort of irresponsible behavior.
This is just a computer model and I question its validity. It doesn't make sense with what I know of the real world.

This isn't a real problem. Just don't turn it on. Issue avoided.
I think you may be missing your humorous bone... Don't take life too seriously.
Dang! This almost makes me wish I had student loans instead of working 50 hours a week to get through college and pay as I went. It would have been a lot easier.
I'm aware of the story. Too bad you didn't read more carefully and get the full joke.
Yes, I'm aware of that. I still think mal is worse and more likely than indifferent. It is moot though.
It is already too late.

"So now I ask you, Slashdotters: Why do you think carrying cash is so dangerous?"
You're the one who's making the assumption. I'm a 'Slashdotter' but I do not consider cash dangerous.
Perhaps the bigger question is why are you making this assumption about other people rather than just explaining your own reasoning? Deflect much?
This story is so depressing about a fun guy? Fun gi Fungi Fuge.
>"The key is not to over use."
>What the hell does that mean?
Don't overuse resources.
Live lightly.
Yes, and we need lots of non-thinkers to support the thinkers. Not everyone can be a researcher, a rocket scientist, etc. We also need farmers, plumbers, mechanics, clerks, etc.
"What do you folks think?"
That if this is your problem then you don't have any real friends.
Seriously. Reevaluate your relationships with people if this is what they're doing to you.
