They contribute to warming. But only with a fixed amount, call it a base line.
It is correct that it is a zero sum game... but if we had only half as many cows, the baseline would only half as high.
In the long run it makes no difference how many cows we have, however the whole meat industry produces CO2 by burning fossile fuels. On top of that we have agriculture that we only do to feed cattle...
So it is worth to look at that point, even if the impact is exaggerated.
I say "don't pretend to be outraged since you voluntarily decided to hand them all your personal information". Dont be outraged to be raped, it is your fault to wear a short skirt!
Not sure if you are an idiot or an asshole, I think you are both.
GPS is GPS is GPS... Every GPS handles altitude. It us basically impossible not to handle it. Speed and direction depends in the sample rate... how often the position is recalculated. There is on receiving side no difference between consumer or other GPS, it is just a receiver...
Unfortunately the non arrow key moving is so counter intuitive that many people never 'acquire' it. And honestly, how much slower is moving the hand to the arrow keys anyway? I soent my time thinking while I move my hands...
Wrong. It's not about growing food "in hunger zones", it's about growing as much food as we can, wherever we can, and as efficiently as we can. It's about continuing to feed a population which has exceeded 7 billion and is projected to top out at over 10 billion, without needing to cut down more rainforests in order to do it.
And GMOs do nothing about that.
No idea why you think it would. BTW: 40% - 50% of all food is thrown away. There is no need for more food.
You started the "ad hominems"... and pointing out that you have no clue about the topic, btw. is not an "ad hominem":D
Likewise, an appeal to popularity is also a logical fallacy. I did not appeal, I stated a fact. What you think why GMOs are more or less completely forbidden in the EU? So: it is not a logical fallacy again:D
You are bad in logic fallacies... And you don't know anything about agriculture or GMOs... so, accuse me about an ad hominem, because I state a fact?
40% - 50% of all produced food is thrown away. And that does not even count the food that does not reach the super market because it does not fit "esthetic" definitions.
We don't need more food that is produced with less labour. We need healthy food that is produced in a sustainable manner. GMO is not going into that direction.
It is only for motorways. Got introduced because traffic from south was only passing through Switzerland. Swiss get a tax refund. So only the rest of Europe pays for the Swiss motorways...

As I mentioned in another post: 90% of my time I spent with thinking.
If I could speed up my typing by 100% it would be a 5% net gain.
Close to pointless.
And as I pointed out also in another post: using h j k l is counterintuitive. I can not memorize those keys.
And obviously moving my hand from j k to the arrows happens so rarely that the above 5% gain most likely would only be a 5 per mil gain ...
But be free to think otherwise ... I have again to think about what I actually want to write ... :D

Probably, I found that mentioning of "small fusion reactors" interesting ...
I use the arrow keys like every one else:
to move the cursor.
And the arrow keys belong to the keyboard, so no idea what you are talking about.
How do you come to those myths?
Why should my phone "track" less satellites than a commercial specialized GPS? Hu?
You only need 3 satellites anyway to get a precise enough position.
Which laws are you talking about? There is no law that a phone needs to be less precise than any other GPS receiver you can buy in a shop.
During the time of the steam engines child labour was extremely common, in Europe.

The question was about hjkl versus arrow keys.
Not about e, B, w etc.
My pleasure :)

You can only be modded 5 times. ...

What has unstable to do with that? ... and the building is full with dust of that stuff.
Most stuff used for explosives is poisoness
Har Har Har Har! :)
Lucky, that god is bad in aiming

When I have to work under Windows (because 'the PC' runs Windows) I 90% of the time have a linux VM for the real work.
Eight Megs and Continuous Swaping.
Emacs, a good operation system. But it lacks a decent editor.
Glad you now can run vim on (in) it.
Hm, my Mac has a ^ sign on the control key :)
For vegetables, salt.
For fruits only luke warm water.
But some posters enjoy it :D

Well, there is that trick called "washing the fruits" before consumption ...
The toll is $40 per year ... you really want to tell me that affects you at the slightest regarding your job?
