There aren't even good stores to buy electronics from where I live. Online is my first choice.

EU-specific models, just because it seems to be the most spiteful option
At some point, the super thinness hampers proper ergonomics. Also has to affect rigidity and durability.
Reminds me of how Colin Kaepernick demonstrating an unambiguously peaceful display of protest during the Black Lives Matter protests, and a bunch of people still got upset about it.
They'll attack any sort of protest. They just want you to sit back and take it. Anything that doesn't go according to their plans is a problem. Not consuming enough, not working enough, not having enough kids? All problems.
Preventing one single entity from having too much control over information to the extent that they can push propaganda and dominate a narrative.
Decentralization leads to better (I didn't say perfect) democratization of social media.
And air travel is increasing.
Air travel for leisure / tourism is environmentally irresponsible to the extent that I cannot personally justify my participation.
Not in any order:
-
Military / warfare
-
Excessive HVAC use: heating/cooling unnecessarily large spaces (as opposed to zoned) and by more degrees than necessary
-
Unnecessary and inefficient transportation. This includes most air travel, cruise ships, shitty urban planning, commutes for jobs that can be done remotely, large/inefficient automobiles.
-
Cryptocurrencies and AI
-
Consumer junk based on planned obsolence, lack of reliability, poor quality, and excessive packaging (often plastic)
-
Food - increased per capita consumption of animal products and egregious amounts of food waste.
I'm not sure how I would even quantify this.
But I could qualify this: having a consensus across multiple trusted sources.
You might be right, as evidenced by how common drunk drivers are. It's like the risk of financial penalties is more of a deterrent than the risk of serious injury or death.
Yeah, should be exponential or something.
Impact energy and estimated chance of death in a collision
It's such a bizarre piece of "advice", as if robotics events are as common as grocery stores or something.
It would cost me more than the price of the safety glasses to attend such and event, after accounting for transportation costs and (very likely) admission fee.
