The harm side comes in multiple forms:

Harm to the animals; by removing their nutrient dense food source, and feeding them sugar water in its place, impacting colony health

Harm to the ecosystem; by mass producing honey bees we are choking out other pollinators, and the selective breeding for honey bees prioritizes output and makes colonies more susceptible to disease and collapse.

Even if you feel like the bees we're farming lead a good life, that life comes at a cost of other species - we are choosing a winner in the food web in a way that could be done less harmful for similar end result (i.e., plant sugars / syrups). Much of veganism is about harm reduction.

Knowing the importance of pollinators to our food supply, as a vegan I would probably not have much of an issue with pollinator farming if there goal was maintaining biodiversity, instead of min-maxing profit.

I love where I live, but my biggest miss on moving was leaving my fiber network behind and moving to Cox monopoly territory.

Because my ISP charges $50/mo extra for the "privilege" of having unlimited data.

Similar, but lighting system as a sleep tool. Lights start off warm white and slowly dim to amber / red, then off at the push of a button every night.

I'm fairly certain its not generally vegan yet, but most "crab" in (cheap) sushi is most definitely not crab. I think it still has some fish in it, but it's teetering out there on the edge.

There are quiet a few "buttery" things, like Ritz crackers, Pillsbury crescent rolls / flaky layers, and most movie theater "butter" popcorn that are vegan.

This is entirely the point of a cap and trade system. Let the market duke it out over the best path to zero, ratcheting down the amount of credits on the market, so everyone can decide whether to focus on reducing or removing.

Fresh tomatoes from a garden, or if you have a good local farmer slinging heirloom tomatoes are the best.

Canned tomatoes are really close to this, and being shelf stable are pretty incredible because you can make delicious sauces any time.

The "fresh" tomatoes that look like what you get on a burger at a fast food joint, or the Roma tomatoes that come sliced into wedges on that side salad at the diner you have literally never seen anyone eat are infinitely worse than canned tomatoes and honestly should be banned from using the word "tomatoes"

Feels like those ones should be forced to market themselves as "tumatos" or "tomato-like fruit"

Nah, if he does away with elections I'll mail him a postcard that says "I vote for Jill Stein" - that'll leave him quivering in his boots and solve everything.

You know who is implementing RCV? Jill Stein.

No she's not - she's a physician, not a legislator. She's not implementing anything except (hopefully) health care for her patients. She's promising to make RCV a political priority, but even if elected, the president doesn't write the laws.

And that even if is doing some heavy lifting, because it's impossible for her to get enough votes (50.01%, because a plurality goes to the legislators to decide) to win.

What she can do, is syphon enough votes from from Harris to hand the country back to Trump (who I promise you will not solve the problem of genocide in Palestine), which is why the RNC and hostile foreign powers love to prop her up

Maybe it does, but not in a "we're going to fix this" kind of way, but in a "we're going to hand the keys to the castle over to the self-proclaimed dictator who may try to abolish elections entirely" kind of way.

If that's what you want, just vote for Trump, don't play around with this third party BS.

Voting for Jill Stein somehow constitutes a revolution?

Which is real fucking rich after the debate where he pretended to be in favor of providing more resources for people wanting to start a family - the exact thing you would strip away if you stopped funding Planned Parenthood.

I'd find the people falling for this grift comically dumb if we weren't headed full steam ahead into an election that could be decided by just a handful of ignorant rubes.

But not those extensions...

Do you hunt pets or hit them with your car to control their population?

it definitely won't meaningfully change the need to drastically reduce the amount of carbon being emitted

You're right, but this is also the problem. These oil and gas companies are spending so much on lobbying so they can limp along with lines like:

"We'll be clean as soon as someone else figures out carbon sequestration"

It's plastic "recycling" all over again. Yes we do need to spend money on studying these types of solutions, but we need to be VERY careful about letting very powerful industries abuse the system and gaslight their way into continued pollution.

Articles like this are an important reminder - if the major oil lobbyists see this as a good thing, we need to be asking why.

Ahh, so he must be a big time jeans traditionalist. Blue or bust.

Explains why he keeps muttering under his breath about the black and brown jeans in this country. It all makes sense now.

How's about a patent that expires 5 years after its first use by a billion+ dollar company? 5 years after it is used in more than 10,000 products? 5 years after its licensing has yielded over $1M in profit? 5 years after spending over $100k on advertising? 5 years after your first major court settlement?

I think there are ways to protect individual innovators but also lessen patent abuse

It's a poor analogy, but imagine a public IP like a hotel, there can be lots of guests (clients) at this hotel. Hotel policy is they won't let any outsiders in unless you know the room number (port) of the person you're trying to reach.

Imagine you and a friend are staying in separate hotels and want to give each other copies of your favorite Linux .ISOs, but neither of you knows the other's room number - you show up at the hotel and the front desk tells you to pound sand because you don't have their room number.

As long as one of you knows the other's room number though, you can meet.

Torrenting without port forwarding means you can only trade your favorite .ISOs with people who have port forwarding enabled (sharing their room number to the tracker), which makes you less effective of a seeder. Enabling port forwarding allows you to share with anyone (sharing your room number with the tracker).
