The Holocene extinction event is just going to be the sixth one so far, and it certainly won’t be the last. As the saying goes, “life finds a way”.
We just won’t be around to see it.

Interestingly in the US it isn’t, gold is measured in Karat (k/Kt), and Carat (ct) is the unit of weight.

1 Karat is 1/24th gold, 1 Carat is 200 milligrams.

Us sharing a 1000+ km long border with russia might have something to do with that.

And even then, military service isn’t actually required, you can do a siviilipalvelus (lit. “Civilian service”) instead.

Ah, but there’s the third option, just outlaw contraception and abortions. Capitalism is only incompatible with kids if you give your slaves the ability to choose if and when to have them.

By claiming that she isn’t actually a woman, and therefore shouldn’t be fighting other women.

And even ones that want kids take one look at the economy and their bank accounts, and decide to wait until both look better, because they want to be able to afford the kids a happy childhood. The worst thing for population growth is giving people the ability to choose when, if ever, to get kids, and an environment they don’t want to have them in.

Two ways to fix that issue. Which one is used tells a lot.

It is a month old account with 275 posts, quickly scrolling all of them are news. Not sure where they post them, but that is still quite a few per day.

The same exception the UK had, didn’t join it in 1992. Specifically they got an opt-out for those specific parts.

It wasn’t. It is now.

It was one of the special exceptions that the UK had, gained in 1992 when the Maastricht Treaty was negotiated.

There are a lot of requirements to be able to join the EU, and many of them are deal breakers for the UK that they never implemented - like having to switch to the Euro and joining Schengen. They would undoubtedly demand to get the same special exceptions they had before, and require every EU country to unanimously agree to give them, which almost certainly would never happen.

And even before that, one of the requirements is a “significant, stable and long-lasting majority public opinion in favour of rejoining”. One interpretation of this was requiring a few years of at least 65% public approval for the join.

Or that we keep concentrating only on the total output. China has 4.2 times as many people as the US, yet their total Co2 emissions are only 2.4 times higher.

It’s like complaining that a family of four is eating too much food from the buffet when you have over half of their total amount on your own plate.

They keep building coal power plants because the total need of electricity in China is rapidly increasing, but they are also building everything else at an even higher rate so less of the total is actually generated by coal. Also many of them are replacing old obsolete plants with cleaner more efficient ones.

Many of them are also being built specifically because of the increase of renewable sources, to stabilize dips and provide reliability, so the overall usage of those plants has decreased.

Russian sure is the more commonly known language than Ukrainian, but the russian invasion of Ukraine has lately boosted the idea that maybe we should start using the Ukranian transliterations instead, especially when talking about places and people from Ukraine - Kyiv/Kiev, Chornobyl/Chernobyl, Zeleskyy/Zelensky, and so on, instead of the way the russian say those names.

Generic in context.

Giving Tesla those trademarks would mean nobody else can call theirs using those terms. Giving both could mean they might argue the terms robocab and cybertaxi were too close and confusing too. But they are all terms we already use for that type of a vehicle.
We didn’t call operating systems windows before windows, and we (mostly) still don’t.

Also the trademark for X is like the trademark for Apple, very narrow in scope. You could start and trademark X as your own pretty much as long as it’s something that isn’t like Twitter.
And many already do exist (and did before musks X)

Because there isn’t a trademark conflict, it’s just too generic of a term to get trademarked in the first place, but it took seven months for USPTO to process the application.

“Tesla applied for the trademark in October 2024 on the same day that it revealed the Cybercab.”

Uh huh. The man who has donated roughly 100 billion in total - apparently as “tax writeoffs” - including funding the Gates foundation which spent countless billions treating malaria, aids, tuberculosis, polio, hiv and a myriad of other things, hasn’t fixed anything because billionaire = bad.

There are two reasonably good ones, as far as I know - Gabe Newell and Bill Gates.

The rest though… yeah.
The world would be a very different place if every billionaire was anything like those two.

And the tree in question here was over 150 years old, planted by a man that died back in 1890.
Cut down by two 30-somethings.

Or just moron numerology. The last tariffs were calculated by taking the trade deficit and dividing that in two. E.g some country imports 10 billion to the US but exports only 5, so trump claimed there was a 50% “tariff” by that country and slapped 25% “counter tariffs” on them.

At least they capped it to a 10% minimum as otherwise there would be a bunch of countries the US should have added a negative tariff for making that stuff cheaper.
