Are greenhouse gas emissions haram yet?
@Vanth@reddthat.com is correct. I would just add that you should always apply for unemployment when you leave a company and do not immediately have new employment. Don’t disqualify yourself. That’s the job of your state’s department of labor.
I’ll take any extra holidays I can get. However, voting by mail is really the way to go. I used to be reluctant to vote, but mail ballots just make it too easy.
I’ve got another one: make Mother’s and Father’s Days paid work holidays!
You’re more or less describing cap-and-trade…
I don’t think I am. Under cap-and-trade, it’s still possible for more than a safe amount of fossil fuels to be extracted from the ground within a given time period and subsequently burned. There’s some similarity in the market mechanism, but in my scheme it’s connected to actual fossil fuel extraction, not hypothetical emissions quantities.
If suburbia was an advantageous place for them, they’d already be there. …
I don’t think the wolves are instinctively avoiding human populations. Wolves were deliberately exterminated from these places, so deliberate efforts are required to bring them back.
… high voltage transmission means that a plant can still be a few tens of kms outside of a city before transmission losses start to add up.
Transmission losses aren’t the issue. If the plants are close to where people live and work then you can take advantage of cogeneration to provide district heating and utility steam. Also, urban nuclear plants can strengthen the relationship with agricultural regions by generating hydrogen/ammonia for GHG free fertilizer.
Any sort of dirty water recovery is more efficient at the municipal scale…
I agree, but homes should already have the plumbing to automatically collect bathing and laundry water for flushing toilets. The excess can get sent to the municipal water treatment plant and set aside for industrial uses.
Seems that’s not a super easy thing to do (read expensive)…
It gets more inefficient if the pee is mixed with the rest of the wastewater, so the idea is to adapt our bathrooms to help keep it separate. Perhaps converting to composting toilets, which collect urine separately, is the way go to here to help with gray water management as well. Anyway, if recovering phosphate from urine seems expensive, that’s just relative to mining it from problematic places.
Oh man I used to be a menace on there.
I’ve got a few:
Just keep playing it on your stereo.

Barak Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate nine months after his inauguration. Subsequently, he used a drone to murder an American citizen, among a litany of other atrocities.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby.
JFK’s head just did that.
I think they have to say that.
Would have to add some cryptography to that certificate to make it trustless.
The other party still has to trust that you actually got it and all the rest of the sperm have passed.
There’s a fair amount of talk in the comments for and against condoms. Has anyone considered a custom fit silicone penis sleeve as a more pleasurable alternative?
Is any birth control really trust free?
Ideally it’s just a matter of encouraging workers, competitors, and regular people to report noncompliant employers. Then law enforcement can show up, seize the equipment (possibly putting civil forfeiture to good use), and arrest the employer.
I think people should be allowed to move across borders mostly freely. Whether or not someone is authorized to work is a separate issue. Work permits should be issued at a rate sufficient to maintain support for the population of non-working citizens (those who are too young, too old, or too sick), but not so much as to depress wages.
Your talking about targeting workers. I’m saying target the employers.
