Why wouldn’t it help the environment? The only way producers can pollute less is if it would cost less money. It will and can only happen if it pays to produce less co2
Yes it will probably also mean buying less, smaller housing and less private cars. But it would also make alternatives viable that just can’t exist right now and make less polluting solutions cheaper cause of scale (like what now happens with solar panels) and they wouldn’t even need much subsidies to get them off the ground.
That it will hurt is also why I think it will never happen cause any government that takes big steps will not be in office for 4 years. It can also only happen with:
Higher minimum wage
Adorable and risk free loans for energy reduction
Social adjustments as the lowest wages are the most impacted (can be paid for with the taxes)
As it’s probably PVC or abs, it can fall apart in a couple of years when exposed to uv. But as it’s covered by the deck, it will probably stay intact for a long time.
If the train drives slow enough that is takes 3s between when your head gets through and your feed are trough, it also needs to take 3s on the other side or you are ripped to pieces or squashed.
Now if it takes 0.1s, you also have to come out in this time and will have a velocity, the same as the train.
Yes, if the speed you go in wouldn’t the speed you go out, you’d be ripped apart.
In portal (the whole point of this joke), it happens instantly an works like walking through a door. If your hand is through, it’s at the other side and the rest of your body isn’t.
If you would travel at the same direction and speed of the train, you could step through and be stationary at the other side. If you stand still and the train travels to you, the only “logical” answer is that you fly out the other side or be ripped apart.
I dislike a lot of the shock advertising they do, but most of what you point out is anecdotal and mostly spread as a laster campaign, because they actually do have an impact on animal welfare and that’s not in the best interest of the ppl behind these laster campaigns.
About the shelters, what should happen with all the excess pets that are bought and then dumped? At least peta tries to take down bad kennels and does something about the stray population. It’s all nice having a no-kill shelter, but these either don’t take all pets or get to big that it’s just unhygienic and sad. If the shelter refuse any ill or old pet they can’t place, these pets either end up on the street or in a shelter that takes any pet and does euthanize.
Peta also gets called for stray pets in terrible condition or that are aggressive that probably always have to be put down.
Their kill rate will probably be quite high, but I have no idea who made up the 80% and what would be included in that number.
All code on the blendermarket is GPL. Yet, it sold over 25 million dollars worth of software. No DRM on the assets, all free software. Free as in freedom, not as in beer. In spite of that, I have not seen once anyone in the blender community complain about piracy, let alone have I seen anyone distribute any software or assets...
I think they are free to charge some users more for a copy. But as it’s GPL, any person is allowed to make a copy and share that with a studio. But would it be worth it as it’s more trouble for accounting?
It would help if tools like git would default to a more accessible editor. I’ve used vim for some time, but I can imagine that if you are just learning and get confronted with vim on your first commit message, that you can feel really lost.
