how little most boomers care

That's precisely the conflict part. Carelessness and apathy sustain the violence. What's that recent movie... The Zone Of Interest (2023) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-vfg3KkV54

End suburbia, install more cafeterias (like schools) to provide good food at a good price. Create schools and some decent incentives to get people to learn to cook.

The Reminder bot needs to be pinged for a date at the end of 2025. I would laugh if it wasn't such a dire situation.

This implies 3 main problems:

  1. They're using the captured carbon for extracting more oil, which is self-defeating. That's not surprising considering who's been behind this kind of technology.
  2. It means allocating geothermal energy to something else. Is there a dislocation of energy supply here? Are other energy users in Iceland using fossil fuels because they can't access geothermal due to the Climeworks?
  3. Places with geothermal are rare, thus it's an exceptional example, not one that can be repeated easily. Having that device be powered by fossil fuels would be, again, self-defeating.

Norway

Holy shit, that's some impressive conservative bullshit!

Breivik is OPENLY a 'Cultural' Christian, he made his reasons very clear. He wrote a damn manifesto, here's an analysis of it:

Christian Terror in Europe? The Bible in Anders Behring Breivik’s Manifesto

In the attempts to understand the ideology underpinning the terror attack in Norway 22nd July 2011, and the growth of far-right extremism in Europe more generally, Christianity and the uses of the Bible are a largely neglected feature. In this article, I examine the way in which the Bible is used in Anders Behring Breivik’s manifesto, arguing that this provides an important example of the role of Christianity in far-right discourse. I show that the Bible functions as a legitimating device, glossing violence as defense of a Christian Europe; as a motivational instrument, positing God as a fellow fighter; and, as an origin for Europe. The Bible is situated in a pre-modern state where its signifying powers are policed. At the same time, it is wrenched out of this solidified framework, cut up and pasted into the manifesto hypertext in order to serve as a contemporary ally to an anti-Muslim and anti-multicultural cause.

This is right up Jordan Peterson's alley.

Small edit:

I was focusing especially on the hummus.

I wish food labels came with the full binomial nomenclature including the variety and subspecies.

Here's your sandwich:

  • Triticum aestivum L. ssp aestivum
  • Lactuca sativa L. var. crispa
  • Solanum lycopersicum L. var. esculentum
  • Glycine max (L.) Merr.
  • Piper nigrum L.

It averages out. Keep a clean record for a set interval and you get discounts.

You think I'm joking, but car insurance companies are going to do all of these things, and not for public health. Smart cars are especially big leaks of personal data.
