I think someone is just utterly clueless about how any of this works, and decided to wipe the slate clean and try again.

Oh some random message said so, that means it must be true! Because no one has ever written anything untruthful in a message.

If you believe this, then I can tell you that you should give your bank account information to me. For I am a Nigerian prince who desperately needs to unfreeze their bank account and get my money outside of the country. If you could send me $1000 USD so the account will be activated, I will send you one million as thank you afterwards I promise!

No it isn't. Employees have relatively strong rights here. Nurses and healthcare personnel were the only ones who actually had to take the vaccine(at least in my country), and for good reason. I think you have poor media literacy skills, and/or you are consciously pushing an agenda.

Also pay attention to what communities you post in. Posting things that are not on the topic of the community is annoying and you may well start getting banned from communities if you keep this up.

I have been worried for a while now that many of these retro looking wizardpost illustrations may be ai generated, simply because I've seen a lot of them out there. A lot more than I suspect exist due to old DnD rulebook illustrations etc.. Yet I haven't come across any clear evidence for this. It's troubling to say the least.

The range of the bicycle is constrained only by the rider. Assuming that the rider eats, drinks and sleeps (as most of us tend to do anyways for the sake of staying alive), the range is unlimited. You can't drive a car either if you starve to death.

I'm not disagreeing with you on the rest, I was just talking about dependencies, which the bicycle has the least (apart from walking or skiing for example).

Consider a bicycle. Very low maintenance, simple to fix, no need for fuel, unlimited range. Complete independence, with the sole exception of winter maintenance of paths, but that's also a problem for cars and public transport.

Or maybe they just left it in a cold place for a while. Strong spirits freeze at around -27°C and Jägermeister (35%) freezes at around -19°C.

Sorry, I suppose I'm a bit too used to idiots going off about the smoke plume caused by the rocket carrying an Earth observation satellite or such. When there's anything to be gained, the costs of the endeavour should be measured up to that. Here there's no gain for anybody (unless one of those fuckers onboard has enough braincells to be able to appreciate the overview effect enough to affect their future behaviour for the better), so it's a net negative no matter how much the cost for the planet is. My intent was not to excuse anything about this.

To copy paste an earlier reply of mine:

I was talking about the direct emissions of launching a rocket. The indirect emissions are obviously vastly larger and might as well include everything in the wider economy that enables stuff like this. Just maintaining the necessary industrial capacity is already a huge strain on the planet. That's what I'm after with these comments. The rich fucker joyride is a largely inconsequential yet overtly visible result of a bloated system hiding in plain sight. The aerospace sector as a whole is just the tip of the iceberg of a global industrial society in ecological overshoot.
