Well, on that benefit: you could get the same information from non-for-profit sources, in a more neutral and ethical way.

On the banning topic: I'm from Spain, and here smoking is not banned, but heavily restricted, and avdertisement on it it's banned everywhere. Basically, as a society we want to avoid more people being harmed, so we restrict it.

As with anything, it's not a matter of full ban or full allow, but if it is mostly harmful for the people and the planet, yeah, it should be heavily restricted. Like pollution, like drugs, and so many other things... When someone's freedom affects everyone basics rights, we ought to act.

It's literally designed to increase unnecessary consumption, in a world already burned out by that consumption. Additionally, it has literally zero benefit for the consumer, while manipulating and controlling it's behavior (by design) to make them move as much money as possible to the companies.

Honestly, all for-profit advertisement should be banned. But meat seems a really good start, so kudos to them!

Sweet Flying Spaghetti Monster, that's horrible. I'm guessing the reason is to keep the truth value equivalent when casting to boolean, but there has to be a more elegant way....

KeePassDX (Android) + Syncthing to keep the file synchronized between devices.

I don't usually open the file on PC, but there are clients for all platforms

I thought the images of these trucks were jokes, photoshopped memes. Or some obscure modified model. The are... are the real????

I'm in Spain, and have never something like that. I don't think it would even be legal here, that wouldn't fit into our streets and parking spots.

No idea honestly, I guess it depends on your specific model... The best I can think is tying two together (they usually have a hanging hole on one end) and throwing it over your shoulder

That would be pretty awesome, I don't know if that exists though. When I'm outside I just use layers, tbh, this is more of a "at home" or "at work" thing.

But if you don't care too much about what other people think, you can directly throw it under your shirt, they are not that heavy

Honestly, 125km/h sounds like plenty. This monsters can travel in a straight line, so combined with good rail networks they should be more than enough for common travelling

I don't know enough, and I'm sure that there are drawbacks. But if something is clear is that planes cannot be commonplace, but just an exception. If they are replaced by airships, great, but if not, we need to just get used to not travelling this much.

There are exceptions, of course, but they should be that: exceptions. And the same goes for cars

One similar to this:

The only "important" part is that it has a fabric exterior, so that the ice doesn't "burn" you. But any is good.

Also, don't over fill it, ice expands and can make it explode in the freezer

Some time ago I read an article on hot water bottles as personal heating/cooling systems, and it's great:

Since the I bought one, and in hot weather I store it in the freezer / refrigerator (for those that have one)

Also, water cools when it evaporates, so a spray bottle and a hand or electric fan is an amazing combo: spray your face and the fan multiplies the effect.
