I'm not going to pretend my jet-setting lifestyle is helping matters. Then again, neither is getting a new mobile phone every two years, or all the electronics we collectively buy. It's not just batteries that use child-mined materials.

@kdfrawg we have.

As with all dietary recommendations, there is no one-size fits all approach.

I’m saying the so-called “environmentally friendly” replacement for that whole fossil fuel system really isn’t, if you dig into it.

scary shit down that way

also Teslas (and other electric cars) are a gigantic environmental disaster, primarily because of the batteries. Hybrids are a bit better.

I'm all about using older hardware when I can.

Related: I ended up sitting next to a guy on the plane who is a sustainability consultant. He's been involved with many "environmentally friendly" buildings, including one for the high school I went to. He basically confirmed what I thought in general about the topic (almost always better to retrofit or reuse versus replace, for most everything).

While our Finance people would have rejected my purchase of a monitor for my home office, I was able to convince our IT folks to send me an older monitor from the office. Either way, I finally have a reasonable-sized screen to work from.

entirely possible. That said a lot of the food I ate was not exactly healthy. The booze probably didn’t help either.

Either my scale was giving me bogus weight before or I put on almost 10 pounds in Wisconsin. ?
