“They”?

Maybe I’m having a brainfart, but what’s wrong with the headline?

I suggest 3 separate fins, in grooves. Stronger, and won’t wobble when standing on the fins.

Your rocket’s nosecone looks very sharp/pointy. Please round off that and the fin tips. Toddlers can be clumsy; eyes are irreplaceable!

This reminds me I need to have another look at Ledger, Beancount, et al. More info at https://plaintextaccounting.org/

Update: Likud rejected the plan.

Your mum is a rounding error.

IIUC, it’s not so simple: her hands are tied due to For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers.

You may have overlooked it, but in the middle of the interview she recommended gender-neutral (unisex) toilets as the best solution all round. That’s what Greggs and Costa and dozens of other organisations already provide. If more of the UK follows suit, that would actually be a small but valuable victory against anti-trans discrimination.

Ciaran Jenkins did a fine job there.

Also, who needs The Day Today when reality is more absurd than satire.

You are not making sense.

• and those who rightly recognise that black swans exist?

You may enjoy unsound conclusions, but don’t project that inadequacy onto the rest of us.

The U.S. already witnessed the damage and chaos of a Trumpster Fire presidency.

After 4 years of progress under Biden, it voted for more damage and chaos.

Americans are humans, and humans are all too often short-termist, irrational, and destructive.

If that is what they meant, then that is what they should have said.

But it isn’t what they said, and therefore presumably isn’t what they meant.

Having studied formal logic, I’m well aware of what a tautology is. It is a statement logically equivalent to A = A.

Relevance here: a bad outcome is a bad outcome (regardless whether it happens now or later).

Some old people are the ones who pioneered climate research, renewable energy, de-growth, and environmental activism!

Without them, no-one would understand what exactly has gone wrong or what can be done about it.

Learn to distinguish people based on their individual actions (for which they are responsible), not their involuntary characteristics (such as age).

sometimes change needs to happen for better or worse

Change for worse is not a good thing.

Arguing otherwise is arguing against a tautology.

The article does not mention mountains. Mountains are often more suited to trains than planes, cf. Switzerland.

The article does quote Anna Hughes of Flight Free UK, who echoes my sentiments: “The reality of decarbonising travel will inevitably be travelling a lot less, investing heavily in rail, and only then electrifying the flights that remain.”

France’s short-haul flight ban is excellent and more countries should adopt it.

As for “counterpoint”, no-one here disagrees with decarbonising island routes rail can’t serve. Still, I’d favour sail or electric fast ferries over aircraft where possible.

Dat dodo got FOMO.
