I’m not sure how much of that is German and how much of that is simply not cheaping out and getting shitty windows.

I’ve seen both great and shitty windows in Germany, Belgium and France.

If you’re getting good windows though, also check if they block or reflect infrared light. It keeps the heat in during the winter and out during the summer.

I would definitely like a less busy planet

Out here they’re required to recycle their own waste. And we (consumers) get a cashback for bringing the empty bottles back to the store (any store) intact!

Yoooo, that’s the best! Fuck smart tv’s sideways

Great! We have plenty of productivity to go around, and too many humans!

Now we need a government to make it worthwhile

I’m using mostly smooth, thightly knit fabric. Maybe we just have different fabric preferences?

Googling that only finds me electric ones :/ What model have you got? Or can you link something similar?

I tried one of those, it damaged several things and I’ve not used it again

Even if not between the tracks, aside the tracks there is quite a bit of empty space. That space gets a lot less of a hard time from the trains rolling by

Fair point, that won’t help

how about those flexible printed ones? They’re protected from the wind by two metal barriers

And weird stuff like this will be more common as it gets hotter overall

But the oil products! We gotta make the oil billionaires more billions!

Thank you!

Those are great, I will be overcooling! And I wanted to get an electric car already, I didn’t even think of that

It’s not the coins themselves, obviously. People use crypto in plenty of dodgy ways. Most common crypto scams from the top of my head: rug pulls, nft’s, play-to-earn, crypto exchanges blocking people from withdrawing but allowing transactions into Russia, people buying and selling on the black market.

I’ve seen all of these happen, and it’s still an issue. I don’t want to be enabling that

inb4 “nft’s aren’t inherently bad”. It’s not much different from the art industry. lots of laundering and tax avoidance there

mining isn’t just magically making coins. it’s verifying transactions in return for donations. Knowing most transaction s are sketchy means I’d knowingly be enabling that

It’s crypto, I’ve made money trading it, I’ve made money mining, I’ve seen the statistics as how much of the transactions are sketchy
