The need for leaf blowers is induced by covering almost every bit of ground with asphalt. Otherwise the leaves would just... you know... be fine and rot in peace. It's second level estrangement from nature.

I wish it was more common to add the answer when a title is a question. Don't withhold information to make me consume your content

The list of resources we are running out of should include resiliant ecosystems. Apart from that, to me, the entire comment could be summarized as "capitalism".

No people but seriously. What are we gonna do about this?

I would argue that the problem you are pointing out is cultural rather than biological. Humans are very well capable of living sustainably and respectfully and have done so for extended periods of times in different regions of the world. The endless consumtion of an ending earth seems like something that developed together with (e.g. western, capitalist, ...) culture and ideology.

We need to work on changing our collective mindset rather than attempt our own disappearance. Second part of argument: I believe we can. Humans are very capable to adapt and change. Not sure about collectives, but if you think you can convice a critical number of people to stop reproducing, I think you can do the same in convincing us to please fix our shit.

Do we know if the deaths were related to the technical issues?

I notice and appreciate cool details. I'm spontaneous and up for things. I can get really excited. I will support your questionable life choices if your heart is in them. I have creative associations. I'm usually good at following other peoples' thoughts. I collect useful junk as well as quotes and stuff. I usually carry a bunch of key items that might come in handy, like a lighter, a pen and a pocketknife.

 

I like to put lemon or vitamins (those tablets that also create fizzyness) in my water and have been wondering if it is problematic to do so in my aluminium drinking bottle. I wouldn't normally think so, since soft drinks also often come in aluminium cans, but I'm not sure. Are aluminium salts even unhealthy?

 

Should I still isolate myself after a positive test? Is it ok to do my own shopping (with a mask) or should I call someone? Do I still wait for a negative test or simply to be free of symptoms? Since people around me don't really talk about Covid anymore and my country doesn't have any guidelines in place, I'd be interested in your takes. I don't wanna be a d*ck to others but would also rather not overshoot and lock myself up at home for two weeks like in the early days. (I hope this doesn't count as asking for medical advice.)

Edit: Thanks y'all. Guess I just needed to hear that even though everyone has been talking of "after Covid", the situation hasn't fundamentally changed despite our lives having normalized. I'll be cancelling plans and staying home.
