When ice forms, it traps small airpockets in it, so we take samples of ice from the polar circles kilometres deep, date it, crush it to release the air pockets and measure the air contents. Then we can see how different the CO2 amounts were to now.

Source: there's a fuck ton of different articles that talk about this, and this is the first one I found of Google, search yourself for more.

Lack of consequences is so often forgotten.

Let me rant here a bit because I really am sick of how all of this can work.

Let's look at the newest example from gaming, our beloved Concord. Sony sunk a fuck ton of cash for a game that has absolutely nothing new in the first person hero shooter genre, this game did nothing new, costed 40$ while most of the competition is free to play and while most hero shooters play fast with dynamic movement or are slower more tactics based, concord did neither, it was slow and as far as I know it didn't have that much team tactics.

Concord shouldn't have left the idea phase, whatsoever writing it down on paper with concept art since there was nothing there to put down on paper.

And yet it was made, costed (according to Wikipedia) $400 million and made maybe one milion USD (before the mass refund).

Did someone uptop that actually decided to make this crap get fired? No, of course not. Sony only shut down the developer studio behind the game. People lost jobs in a highly competitive job market because thier employers were absolutely braindead, these people weren't the designers of this game, they didn't greenlight a empty shell of an idea, they just coded what they were told to. While the higher-ups suffer no consequences, hell, the 400 Million won't be even a dent it Sony's yearly profit of 34 Billion.

The only polish word I know is kurwa, and Zubrowka.

You're right, you know just one word in Polish, because it's Żubrówka you filthy peasant.

I fucking hate the "you're just one man, what can you do? Stop complaining" crap. It's as if this is how we have always lived, as if no big changes were ever made.

Did you forget your countries own past? Pretty sure most of them had a revolution, a protest or some other kind of push for change at a point in time.

There was a time where women were nothing more than mothers, cooks and maids. They pushed for that to change and now they are equal to men. We changed our world before, can we please not give up on that now?

More than ever do single people have a voice, never before you could get in touch with so many people at once over so much distance. You would think that pushing for change, organising protests and gatherings would be easier than ever, and yet we are told "what can you do?" by the very people who see a problem.

Yep, here's a video about it and an example of an egg being fried on it.

Glass is a pretty poor thermal conductor so it takes a bit more heat from your stove to make the frying pan hot, but at the same time it means that whatever you're frying isn't getting as hot as quickly so it's less likely to burn or cook unevenly, and you can shut down the stove earlier than with a traditional pan and still have it fry something.

Like most things in life, it's a trade off and what you think of it depends on what you're going and how you want it to be done

We could organize stuff earlier... If we weren't either in work or sleeping after a full week of getting up in the morning to "be productive members of society" !

Barely relevant side note, I wanted to go to a concert in Poland, Powerwolf, Hammerfall and Wind Rose are playing in Kraków, but it's on Monday? Who the hell makes a concert on Monday?!? God-damn it.

No benefit? No, of course not. But for more money to the shareholders of the oil and coal companies which some politicians either are or get payed by. OF COURSE! They will do it gladly with a smile.

Renewables aren't funded anything close to what governments of any country spend on oil and coal companies, and that's for the benefit of the very few people who own them.

Didn't we already figure out the whole climate change story way back long ago? And the only reason why we didn't do anything about it were studies funded by the oil industry so that they absolutely have to show there was "no link" between our CO2 emissions and the global temperature? Because I'm pretty sure that's the story.

All I see is a trex head facing the viewer.

Remember! It's not AI hallucinations, it's simply bullshit!

And if you do give them entire essays worth of data, facts and arguments for change they will dismiss you, probably call you a commie and generally respond with "I'm not reading that"!

And remember! The high price tag attached to Concord had no influence on it's success! People will gladly pay for stuff that is offered for free elsewhere!

Try to stab something with this monstrosity and it's guaranteed to get stuck between the ribs or in other bones, leaving you without a weapon.

Historical swords aren't spiky for a reason
