I agree - but there's no native Windows app. I don't want to have to shift through a dozen tabs in Chrome to find one for Fibery, I want to just click an icon on my desktop. I also want Desktop-specific features like Right-click.
You can make french fries incredibly easily at home, using just a microwave. They taste a lot better than anything bought commercially.
Just buy a big potatoe, cut it into thin strips. Place it on a regular dinner plate. Add seasoning. Microwave for 5 minutes.
Take out, shuffle the strips around, add oil (regular olive oil works fine) and normal, non-processed cheese. Microwave for another 3 minutes. Its done when you can poke a fork through the fry without any resistance.
The whole activity of consumer recycling is mostly pointless for materials like plastic - the solution lies with forcing manufacturers to utilise 'green' materials.
Plus increase in labour costs due to slower transit times, longer shipping times pushing more companies to use air transport... a whole lot of unintended consequences.
I think its still best to focus our political willpower on accelerating the transition to electric vehicles. There is the obvious human health benefit of not having hundreds of millions of tiny engines exhausting fumes at the ground level of cities.
Its mostly that elderly people can now afford to stay in their huge family homes until they die, instead of selling them and enabling the next generation of families to live in them.
Previously, elderly people would move into small houses in small towns, or into apartments, in order to free up capital and lower ongoing costs.
At the same time as we have seen decreases in income, wealth and home ownership for younger cohorts when measured at the same age. Its just a transfer of wealth from young to old.
That will still put immense downward pressure on American wages.
The simplest way to solve the H1B problem is to scrap it and allow open immigration for skilled professionals from the top 20 most developed countries. The reality is that someone from India will accept much lower wages and poorer conditions than someone born in Australia, Sweden or Switzerland.
"From 1973 to 2011, there was a decline of more than 50 percent in sperm counts among men living in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand."
"The researchers said that they cannot determine from their data what might have caused the decline, but it could be related to environmental or lifestyle factors."
"Earth's phosphorus is being depleted at an alarming rate. At current consumption levels, we will run out of known phosphorus reserves in around 80 years, but consumption will not stay at current levels. Nearly 90% of phosphorus is used in the global food supply chain, most of it in crop fertilizers. If no action is taken to quell fertilizer use, demand is likely to increase exponentially."
University education in Australia is a major migration pathway. By studying at a University there, you are basically guaranteed permanent residency at the end.
That's why the USA and UK should oppose efforts to allow students to stay in the country after they graduate. International student graduates should have to go through the same migration process as anyone else.
Additionally, Governments should place a cap on the number of student visas they issue each year, require universities charge a minimum amount, and require the full three years be paid upfront. Universities will be more willing to fail poor students under these conditions; it will also prevent/reverse a race to the bottom.
