The problem of climate change can sometimes seem insurmountable. However, there are little things you can do which can have a big impact. Easy mode -If you have a workplace pension, consider changing your fund preferences into one that looks after the environment -Use public transport over the car -Have meat free Mondays, become a 'flexitarian' -Switch to a renewable energy tariff. This way your energy only comes from renewable sources. There's one I've found called Octopus Energy which is quite competitive price wise. -Grow your own veg/fruit -Reduce, refuse, reuse and recycle (on waste/plastic) Medium -Cycle or walk to work -Become vegetarian -Insulate your house or upgrade to an environmentally friendly boiler -Limit air travel to only a few holidays per year and don't fly long haul Message too long.

>>4774 >>4775 Can you recommended any oat milk brands?
>>4780 It's piss-easy to make - one cup of rolled oats, three cups of water, blend for 30-40 seconds and strain through a coffee filter or a fine sieve. Add salt and/or sugar to taste. If it has a claggy porridge texture, you've blended for too long.
>>4780 I like Partly the best, and it seems most people do because it keeps selling out at the local Sainsbury's. There's a 'full fat' version that's the best imo. I suppose the benefit to buying it is they add minerals to make it an actual milk substitute, if your diet would otherwise be lacking (as it probably would be if you're vegan).
>>4712 How important is vermiculite? Saw it on here https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/grow-your-own/vegetables/chilli-pepper
>>4788 It acts as a water reservoir, so it'll help prevent the soil from getting either too wet or too dry. It's not necessary, but it'll improve your chances of success.
This is not about climate change is it?
f = f(x, y) df = f(x + dx, y + dy) - f(x, y) = f(x + dx, y + dy) - f(x, y + dy) + f(x, y + dy)- f(x, y) = f_x.dx + f_y.dy because evaluating the partial derivative at y+dy instead of y doesn't make any difference, right?
Starting to think we need a LaTeX mode.
f = f(x, y) df = f(x + dx, y + dy) - f(x, y) = f(x + dx, y + dy) - f(x, y + dy) + f(x, y + dy)- f(x, y) = (∂f/∂x)dx + (∂f/∂y)dy
dy goes to zero so it makes no difference, yes.
Not really sure where else to post this, so going to have a punt there. My mother wants to do one of those home DNA testing kits (23 and me etc). Beyond pricing (which I don't really give too much of a shit about) are there any real distinctions between the companies offering these services? While my 70-odd year old mum doesn't really need to worry about getting profiled for online advertising or whatever I'd prefer to not hand her genetic material over to a company who openly sells it for profit, and I'd rather a company that does honest comparisons rather than "we'll just choose a random genetic group for that 3% we can't recognise from our database" type shenanigans. Thanks in advance for any advice lads.
After getting one of the analysis done, could you immediately ask for your data to be deleted by GDPR?
>>4608 How would you ever verify how successful that was? They may well say "yes, we've deleted it" but they could have already shared it.
>>4608 Legally yes, but there's no guarantee that they won't just illegally transfer the data offshore. The GDPR gives you strong protections against companies with something to lose, but a lot of the DNA testing startups are offering tests at below cost; their business model wholly depends on being able to sell user data.
>>4606 Couldn't a customer avert these potential dangers by giving an alternate name? Is that legal? >>4607 >you'd probably also have called me a mentalist. Aren't you still carrying that phone? >>4610 So the more expensive companies might be more trustworthy, from an economic perspective. Do businesses have to publish data on their affiliations and transaction history?
>>4611 >Aren't you still carrying that phone? Yes, but I don't use facebook. I'm sure in 20 years I'll have my genome sequenced but hopefully it'll be on a little encrypted card and cyberjackers will try and torture me for the keys.

I can't believe she didn't take the chance to auto-tune her vocals. Also forgot to side chain that kick or add the mandatory minimalist breakdown where you go like, off-beat for 16 bars before a reprise. 7/10 promising but needs work. Good hook, had me solidly nodding my head at the first.

Would.
wget -r slom.1121.org Thanks me later.
I am not wgetting a mystery URL.
>>4590 I was going to search for the URL to see if it's mentioned elsewhere online but opened it by accident. Anyway it's seasons 1-3 of The Secret Life of Machines, avi.
I just noticed that 90% of the threads on the first page here were made by me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9crggox5rbc General relativity = quantum mechanics. Mind blown.
So spacetime is made out of a tapestry of quantum entanglements?
Spacetime and matter aren't separate things, spacetime is an extension of matter.
how to disengage my atom's from the higgs feild?(A good day to you Sir!)
wat is the evolutionary function of bread's?(A good day to you Sir!)
>>4583 How did you know what that was? I assumed it was a band or maybe a LOTR fan club.

>>4582 Reverse image search. At first I assumed it was just that Dan Bilzerian twat.
Hair provides suprisingly effective resistance, so I'd imagine thick growth of it over the vulnerable throat is effective defense measure. Neckro post because I'm here looking for a weather thread.
>>4586 I was sure it was Charlie Veitch.
Holy crap. If negative mass exists is and is being constantly created we could make time machines and FLT drives.
I'm no physicist but I really can't help but think they're willing dark matter/energy into existence because it would make their sums easier to do. 21st century phlogiston m8
>>4562 You just made me remember this, always worth a chuckle. We can't get banned for memes nobody under 20 has ever heard of, right? Anyway, the comparison to phlogiston is a tad misleading. Phlogiston was considered common knowledge, the only accepted explanation by a consensus of chemists. Dark matter is only one hypothesis for observed behaviours (measurements of which have also faced criticism) and is treated as such. There are certainly other candidates for it, including some reworking of Newtonian physics beyond special relativity. Physicists are not in a position to be authoritative when the theoretical value for the Cosmological constant is still off by over 100 orders of magnitude...
Cosmologists on suicide watch.
Penrose on Joe Rogan!!!
I still can't believe they named a planet Ur Anus.
>>4558 You know what we should rename it? Also, awful thread.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/attraction-evolved/201812/does-hourglass-figure-really-signal-fertility There's some interesting comments on this article.(A good day to you Sir!)
>>4552 I'm starting to get worried that maybe the mods are starting to have lives outside of this place.
>>4552 Yeah, there has been a lot of shite and shite all done about it lately. The vibe of the whole site's getting thrown out of whack. Stop posting threads on the wrong boards, you scum! How hard is that, for Goodness sake?
>>4553 Fuck's sake. I don't remember agreeing to this.
You cunts were complaining about overmoderation a couple of months ago. I'm just going to delete every other post and let the chips fall where they may

It was definitely an alien probe sent to check us out. We're fucked.

It's a Tyranid Narwhal scouting the system for life. We are deeply, deeply fucked.
>>4543 As someone who only played 2nd Ed, wtf have they done to one of my favourite childhood memories??
>>4544 Where do I begin, mate...
>>4546 I always thought the spacewolves stuff was a bit OTT even back as a nipper, but a fucking land speeder pulled by wolves? What? Sigh.
