I really miss kde generator of shift click in maximize window icon. It would expand a window just vertically.

Does windows has anything similar?


Win+shift+up

Mail from a guy that wants to preserve pubs wouldn't be junk.

How is that different from a mail from a local church asking me to donate, or a local bingo club opening a new location - it's all junk. If I didn't ask for it to be sent to my address, it's all junk.

One person's junk is another person's fuel for heating.

Throughout the year a friend of mine would collect any junk mail, but mostly many copies of the free daily newspapers (Metro, Evening Standard, etc) that litter the trains/underground in the evenings, soak them with water than use a briquette maker to press the paper into blocks. Once dried they provide an ample supply of fuel to heat his home for the 6-10 months of the year (depending on how poorly your home is insulated) that heating is required in the UK.

He definitely didn't have a "No junk mail" sticker on his letterbox.


Pubs generate way more tax revenue than churches.

And I'm sure HSBC generate even more tax revenue, that doesn't mean that if they send me unsolicited mail about bank accounts it isn't junk.

Any communication received without explicit consent, after providing details, is junk, and would fall under GDPR as using that info for a different purpose than what was described.

This kind of denial prevents any solution for global warming.

- USA emits much more per Capita

- CO2 accumulates in atmosphere, so you must account for emissions since the country industrialized

- USA sent it's polluting industries to China and buy the final products

The AA motto goes well: The first step is to admit you have a problem


No denying that US CO2 emissions down 16% since 2005

Yes, in part because the US outsourced a lot of their industry to China since. The US is still one of the principal per capita emitters, they need to cut emissions by two thirds to catch up with Europe and in half to reach China.

No denying US increased crude oil production from 5 to 13 million barrels per day and lng from 50 to 112 billion cubic feed per day. It just so happens PRC widget exports count as PRC emissions but US fossil exports don't count as US emissions. If they did US would be emitting roughly the same as 2005 or 30% higher, depending on if you believe industry or climate scientists. Industry claims lng is cleaner than displaced coal. Scientist claim lng leaks substantially higher than industry admits.

In India and China coal emissions went down motivated by renovables

Fun fact: the most similar coke clone I've ever tasted was in Cuba.

Another one is that in many countries Coke and Pepsi use artificial sweeteners even in their "original" product lines, which is plainly misleading.

When I see a Ford car in Geoguessr I always know I'm in USA. Just Americans but these terrible cars.

Man, this looks like a press release written by Pinchai himself.

Doesn't WSJ even blush when publishing these kind of things?


I dont think WSJ makes money from subscription fees, ads keep the lights on for journalism.

It's not that hard to find the data. Subscription fees are the great majority of WSJ overall revenue. ~$500 million of $586 million total.

Eric Topol is a better scientist than you favorite wellness expert. Here he talks about protein: https://erictopol.substack.com/p/our-preoccupation-with-prot...

The last step in the receipt of my first beer batch stated: "now store it at a warm place around 21ºC".

No way I could find a place this cold during Rio de Janeiro summer.
