Great PR piece for COP28 which will be held in Dubai and chaired by the CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company!

Luckily, there haven’t been any documented instances of the UAE trying to greenwash their image by hosting this conference.

Its kinda funny how serious they are about some random meme image lol. I’d much rather see them natureposting!

dont forget the red bulls and chips. need those when natureposting!

Due to the fact that I will be moving places later this summer, I decided back in March that I would plant some bee flower seed mix on my tiny balcony instead of the usual vegetables. I got the for free from a good friend who works for a nature conservation society.

The results have been great! I constantly see bumblebees, hoverflies, honeybees and all kinds of wild bee species around my flowers. It feels great to provide a tiny feeding spot in a place that is surround by agricultural monocultures and I can only recommend it to everyone who has even the tiniest bit of space left in their garden or on their balcony.

OP is by no means a liberal and gives China as an example of already existing restrictions on fireworks.

Oh they are owning it alright. Many Kiwis do actually accelerate to catch Possums that are crossing roads with their car. Once I sat in a small town sports bar in NZ watching a rugby match and some farmer boys chased a possum into the bar and snapped its neck while around 100 people cheered them on.

All mammal species in New Zealand except the native ground bats are introduced species, many of them invasive. They wreak havoc on the local ecosystems and have brought quite a few unique bird species near the brink of extinction. I think its absolutely understandable that the New Zealanders want to preserve some of their endemic birds.

Very cool rig and LesenokBag looks awesome. I might order something from her in the future. I am currently hunting for a cheap off road bike on the local classifieds to start my bikepacking adeventures. So I might post a question or two in this sub in the coming months

thats a lot

Do you always introduce yourself like that? lol

Never claimed that the Chinese are that far behind but they just don’t have the same production capabilities as Taiwan or Korea. That might change in a few years tho.

And I guess losing access to modern production facilities in Taiwan ain’t no biggie for the Russians as they plan to produce their own 28nm chips by 2030 (28nm was introduced in 2011 btw) so maybe I’ll game on a Russian CPU by 2055 lol.

First, producing silicone monocrystals does not equal the ability to produce modern chips. The only somewhat significant semiconductor producer from Russia, Mikron Group, announced in 2020 that they would start using the 65nm process, a process that has been available since 2005.

So the biggest domestic manufacturer is 15-20 years behind the West and mainland Chinese manufacturers have a global market share of 8% compared to Taiwan’s 66% (and American lap dog Korea with 17%).

Sorry to break it to you buddy but its not looking good for the Russians

Climate Change News reports that both the Ugandan and Cameroon delegations were displeased with how Chinese minister of ecology and environment Huang Runqiu, who chaired the conference, brought down the gavel and declared the agreement approved despite what was a clear objection from the DRC.

oops

Hey now what has Wales ever done to you

The Soviets were big fans of moving people around without their consent. Look up the deportations of the German and Korean minorities

Yeah my old uni’s botanical garden has underground greenhouses that are easily 100 years old.

Putting a glass roof on top of a fruit trench is just the next logical step really.

Not novel at all but still a cool concept

Oof indeed, my friend. Here is my favorite quote:

“It’s funny that people are so afraid of being accused of Nazism,” when they’re just improving their own embryos, Simone added, after noting that her Jewish grandmother escaped Nazi-occupied France. “I’m not eliminating people. I mean, I’m eliminating from my own genetic pool, but these are all only Malcolm and me.”

These people need to be [redacted]

very misleading headline. some clothing items they received have an “SS” size label instead of “S” for small. not really anything interesting.

Thanks for confirming my suspicion. Well that’s too bad because manually blocking tens of subs becomes very annoying very fast the way it is currently implemented
