Manufacturing of any kind always causes an environmental impact. This is the way of things.
The one thing we can't get that would mitigate the environmental costs of making stuff, is if stuff was built to last....

Honda built a rocket
Me: of course they did.
They launched the rocket
Me: naturally.
They landed the rocket.
Me: on the first try?
Maybe, but he had already spun the fake news narrative to his deciples, so it was easy for them to hand wave all of the convictions away as fake news based on absolutely no evidence.
Given the relative intelligence of each set of followers, I'm not surprised that they could do the mental gymnastics to disregard such a verdict.
Meanwhile, I'm not even sure Gaiman has been convicted, but he's being treated like he's guilty by the public, so here we are.
I just haven't bothered to keep up to date with his situation because, though I previously enjoyed things with his name attached, I've never been "a fan" so to speak, of the man himself. I neither liked, nor disliked him. Now I have reasons to dislike him. IDK. I'm just some guy.
You see, the difference is... Supporting Gaiman makes you seem like a rape enabler.... And anything related to rape is bad.
You want to discriminate against gay/trans/black/brown people? It might be distasteful, but it's not universally considered bad. There's lots of people out there willing to vote a Nazi into the white house and cheer him on as he breaks the law to deport anyone and everyone he wants to just because they're "not from here" (or they think they're "not from here").
See, they're ~~not~~ the same thing.
That's valid. It's also part of why I don't like capitalism. Once an entity becomes large enough, it has the capability to absorb all other businesses in its sector, and often transcend sectors and absorb all competition from that sector as well.
If a company were motivated enough they could essentially buy all other companies and essentially run everything (probably right into the ground).
Yay capitalism.
That quote is funny because the statement is clearly indicating that they are pro-choice.
In business though, workers are not often given a choice. You either work from the office, work x days in office and y days from home (hybrid), or only work from home.
90% of the employers that I am aware of, give one of these, maybe two (usually in office and hybrid) as options; usually only one option (in office). A few wfh companies I've worked for do all wfh, which is great for me, but anyone who wants to work from an office, can't.
By giving workers a real choice, you open the company up to a much larger pool of people who are willing/able to do the job. If they're local to an office and want to be in office, cool, set it up. If they're not but they prefer wfh, cool, set it up.
In my experience nearly zero employers provide flexible work options. It's usually one of the three, and if you're lucky, two of the three. It is exceedingly rare to be given all three choices.
The same way I don't hate Christianity but most Christians drive me up a wall.
The concepts can be good, valid and even the best option in some cases, but the way it's weilded can be dramatically different based on the person wielding it.
Spear phishing disagrees with you.
If you're targeting a specific individual, cloning their SIM or performing another number hijack or even intercepting their SMS in flight, are all viable.
For broader, more general attacks SMS is usually enough to keep anyone out.
Hilariously, light is an electromagnetic wave.
So, yes, we can see electromagnetic waves.... Just, only a very small segment of them.
How wrong he was. Now we use EM daily for everything.... Communicating via Wi-Fi, listening to music in the car (FM broadcast), or via Bluetooth and using LTE... Even heating our food. Not to mention medical applications like X-rays...
There's a shitload of stuff we use EM for without even thinking. It's all around us, all the time, like the matrix. I love EM science.
This goes to show you that, just because someone discovered a thing, doesn't mean that they have any idea what to do with that discovery, or that the discoveries end there....
Before, reality was just what humans could touch, smell, see, and hear, but after the publication of the charged electromagnetic spectrum, we now know that what we can touch, smell, see, and hear, is less than one-millionth.
Yeah. That's kind of America's whole thing. Making money. Exploiting everything. Americans are the Ferengi.
Defending America = defending capitalism = doing whatever they can to make American, capitalist companies more profitable.
I don't hate capitalism. Don't get me wrong, but I generally don't like capitalists.
Honestly, probably not much less secure than SMS.
Oh damn.
