Believe it, baby

lol. Good times.

Solutions have existed for years (eg Gnosis Safe), they just aren’t being used by that exchange.

Funnily enough Nikolai (original creator of ENS, now passed) worked on this idea https://github.com/nmushegian/namepet

ENS is still used for personal identities, and afaik still doesn't care about immutable paths. A wasted opportunity.

Contradiction in terms

It's an oversimplification, perhaps a proxy for wealth. Russian oligarchs hoarding London property are moving from a poor country to a rich country, but they are colonisers.

Salary requirements negate that, plus the Portuguese health system pays rock-bottom salaries itself, and is already on its knees.

Of course it doesn’t benefit the Portuguese. That’s not how Portugal is governed. It’s cynical, but that’s really how it is; learned helplessness on a national scale.

Farcaster Frames are very interesting, but the problem with the platform is the userbase.

No bug in Ethereum, what lazy journalism.

Ethereum made the switch from PoW to PoS in 2022. It was called The Merge https://ethereum.org/roadmap/merge

It’s unlikely that Bitcoin will ever do the same, for the same reason Ethereum was created separately in the first place: they (BTC community in general) don’t want to add or change anything, because they perceive that as diminishing its value. Oh well.

No, that must be some other country, perhaps where one of the last two leaders was actually elected.

I’ve used DeFi for as long as it’s been around and will continue to do so. It’s safer and can be more profitable than TradFi, even with stablecoin yield. It’s a larger area than you might realise, and there is a lot more to it than degen gambling.

Wellbeing is one thing (I know I would enjoy this a lot more than an office) but long term UV exposure is not forgiving for longevity. I could find sources, but it’s not my area; my partner is a dermatologist and I take her advice on this. It’s worth wearing sunscreen every day (even in the winter), though I believe you have to be careful about choosing products in some places like the US, where sunscreens can be zinc-based.

It’s basically something easy you can do in your morning routine every day that will lower your risk of developing skin cancer and some other problems.

This might be fun for a while, but in the long term you're asking for an increased skin cancer risk. Sorry to be a downer.

The EU is not like the USA. We can have regional independence/self-governance and international cooperation, prosperity and peace, without needing a controlling national structure.

Britain is and always has been a European island. We’ll be back in the EU in a generation or less.

I’m not OP, but I would argue that. There’s no realistic scenario in which leaving the single market makes Britain a more attractive place for (most) businesses.

No, it shouldn't. The majority of the deforestation happening now (e.g. in Brazil) is to raise cattle, or to produce feed such as soybeans for farmed animals; the water for almonds and avocado trees pales in comparison to these activities, as do food miles.

A vegan diet saves much more than a carnist one does, even if it's more local; here in Europe, we have sheep deserts (e.g. Iceland, much of UK) that can be rewilded if more people adopt a vegan diet.

It’s already dead here, and I would argue that it is not unfortunate at all. It’s also a distraction from dismantling coal power and the large car lobby here.

That's not quite fair, they funded the climate denial movement.

Humans are more closely related to frugivores than anything else (just look at our teeth and intestines).

These animals die for no reason other than cultural norms.

> A question still nags at me, and I pose it to the couple: “You have about fifty-eight residents now, but there are billions of animals that you can never save. Does this ever discourage you? Does it ever feel futile?”

> Jenkins looks instantly pained. His eyes well up. “Yeah, it’s tough,” he says. “That’s the hardest part. I try not to go there, because it’s overwhelming.”

Huge respect for these guys. From my perspective, nothing can be done about the animals already in the system, but the sooner we wind down the demand keeping them there, the more we'll save. Their efforts definitely help with that.

2. I can't speak for other animals, but I can speak for myself: there's no way I would prefer to be locked up in a cage or a farm (where I will be killed and eaten, probably way before my natural lifespan) than to be free to live a natural life and be killed by predators.

I also used to have back garden hens, but in my opinion the moral argument stands up to examination.

Consider:

* The modern chicken is quite different to its wild ancestors, and lays eggs about 20 times more frequently (the eggs are also larger). I'd call it genetic exploitation.

* The male chickens are (most likely) killed after hatching in preference of the females you'll keep.

* They may be safe from predators, but is the loss of freedom, a natural environment and normal biological functions a price worth paying?

In a vegan world, wouldn't there be more wild animals?

Think about how different this could look: https://xkcd.com/1338/

>This is why it is far more ethical to eat animals who have been raised in conditions that allow them to thrive happily and wholesomely.

I used to think that, but it's not a defensible point of view if you examine it a little more critically. Animals like pigs (or rather, their very very recent wild ancestors) have needs and behaviours that simply aren't useful to agriculture, and they can't possibly life fulfilling lives (not to mention that they should also be living for about 15 years rather than under a year).

The least we can do is to not eat them. It took me a long time to accept that, but that's how it is.

It's not perfect, but it's not the end of the world. I'd prefer it if they'd stop the 'oh, but the app is 50% faster' modals; who installs apps like that these days?

£350 million a week. GBP/USD hitting record lows. Which side was lying, again?

That's a very one-sided view. It has been very popular because it is of high quality (how on earth is it bland or outdated?) and not bloated, without any intrusive ads; that's what the Beeb is about.
