Yeah, I don't understand why the OP limits the choice to Chrome, Win and Apple. A few years ago I had a local school in the Caribbean to set up with some donated computers. They all needed to look alike to the students and I wanted some free …

Have you run across "Kingdom of Loathing"? I have played many ascentions and killed many a hobo there. It is not video, but it is pretty funny imho. Just a browser game.

The only time I look at my car is when I am finding it in a parking lot. I think the interior experience is a lot more important than the exterior - seat comfort, controls ergonomics, quietness, ease-of-cleaning, and ride smoothness. I have not …

. . . well, it all came back as soon as I starting bitching about it! That is SERVICE!!

I see emojis and user names on the various topics in my feed but there is no text and no space where text would be (I mean, it is way too light and I can hardly read it, but it used to be there). All I see is people laughing or pondering other …

I joined a great community - Off grid Living, and eventually became a moderator there. That led to a moderation job with Artificial Intelligence community. Both communities were venues for some fascinating conversations that have shifted my …

When you say that we should "fund clean energy", who will be the arbiter of which technologies to fund? If we make the decision governmental, we know from experience that this tends to lock us into a conservative approach. For example, consider the …

What is the logic of providing credits at all? Why not just tax emissions and let the market sort out which economic activities are most favored? I think credits would create a kind of shelter for some unfavorable economic activities. Consider: I …

sounds great; I will try to change it

A recent fork from "Where did the G+ Influencers go?" led to discussion of carbon tax. If one understands that greenhouse effect gases like carbon dioxide are increasing due to human activity, and that many economists believe capitalism is the most …

taxes are two-faceted: they act as a deterrent when imposed and an incentive when the money is spent. There is no law that the thing deterred must bear any relationship to the thing incentivized. So a carbon tax could be used to pay for an …

Lol - well taxes are not a joy, but they are necessary sometimes. Yes, I want everyone to be taxed for their carbon footprint. The taxing itself is necessary to shift demand into lower carbon ways of living. You bet if the price of fuel suddenly …

You are often correct about social media being inane, but I find it very useful to kick around new ideas in off-grid living, dealing with climate change, and puzzling out the disturbing conclusions of modern physics. These are each, in their way …

It could be that some of us have, with great effort and deep reflection over many years, expelled our darker demons and purged much of what was ugly in our younger selves. It is of course an ongoing process throughout a lifetime, but don't eschew …

https://medium.com/@cade.johnson.iii/carbon-ddf646ca7921 This essay I posted on Medium explores the idea of carbon-dioxide-equivalence which seems to be confusing to many. I noticed in the process of researching that "carbon dioxide" is a …

My wife and I each have a Kindle Fire (HD 8) and they get steady use. We both use them as ebook readers and I play some (stupid) games on them. Most days I also read the Washington Post via their app. For anything that requires typing or otherwise …

at one time, I would have agreed with the sentiment to stop talking to them. But now that I live in Latin America, I realize that we are social creatures foremost. Therefore, the proper course is not to stop talking, but rather (with one's mouth …

My mother taught psychiatric nursing and for a few years she was director of a state mental hospital. So my youth was salted with stories of the occasional noteworthy troubled minds that she encountered. Although this has given me a good bit of …

https://wheretofind.me/@Cade_Johnson - this was the first one I heard about. I have been exploring options since the day the sunset was announced. I have already pruned down the options somewhat. Early round eliminations were Minds and Steemit - …

<Freud-disguise> hmm, @apm you seem to have a deep-seated interest in psychology matters - could this have originated in your childhood? Please lie back on this couch and tell me all about it. </Freud-disguise>

cosmology - that we exist at all is perhaps quirky behavioral economics - practically the STUDY of quirky the nature of beauty - could lead to all sorts of quirky . . . PS, been stranded on this island since 2009 :(

Do all the carbon footprints add up to the total carbon emission, or can carbon footprints be attributable in a way that allows comparisons from many points of view? Specifically, can an IDEA have a carbon footprint? Aside from their …

my carbon footprint estimate for dogfood is admittedly lame: it is really difficult to discover what is IN dogfood, and if it is animal byproduct, is the carbon footprint of the consumer meat product already covering the carbon cost of the …
