Title: "The most environmentally-friendly device is the one you already own." The image shows a pie chart with Apple Corporation's CO2 emissions. In the center are the total emissions from 2018: "25.2 million metric tons of CO2". The pie chart illustrates the following (from lowest emissions to highest): - End of life treatment accounts for less than 1% of emissions - Corporate facilities account for 2% of emissions - Product transport accounts for 5% of emissions - Usage accounts for 19% of emissions - Production accounts for 74% of emissions The original report from Apple is: "Environmental Responsibility Report: 2019 Progress Report, covering fiscal year 2018": https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/Apple_Environmental_Responsibility_Report_2019.pdf.

    I’m still using my MacBook Air from 2011.

    Idk what losing Apple support means, but those 2018/2019 models are good for another ~decade.

    A massive fire broke out at an amusement park in western India Saturday, leaving at least 27 people dead, including four children, police said.

    The fire occurred at the park in the city of Rajkot in Gujarat state.

    Police Commissioner Raju Bhargava said the fire was now under control and rescue work was underway. The bodies were difficult to identify because they were so badly charred, police officer Vinayak Patel said. 

    Bhargava. the police commissioner, said that police were working to determine the cause of the fire. 

    "We will be registering an offense for negligence and the deaths which have occurred. Further investigation will take place once we complete the rescue operation," he said.

    The amusement park was privately owned by Yuvraj Singh Solanki.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on X that he was “extremely distressed by the fire... in Rajkot. My thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones. Prayers for the injured.”

    I didn’t believe you, but was surprised to learn this is actually true.

    The goods inside these stores — Doritos, sunglasses, lotto tickets, energy drinks — only account for ~30% of the average gas station’s revenue, yet bring in 70% of the profit.

    Not disagreeing with your core point but infrastructure is never paid off.

    Upkeep on a mile of asphalt is way more than I expected and I live somewhere temperate.

    Everyone should have to sand a piece of wood to within spec at least once in their life.

    Measure twice; consider a finer grain of sandpaper; sand once.

    Repeat 500 times.

    Have you considered one of the alternative brokers which offer pay as you go liability coverage?

    Consider the humble “em dash” — some people use it to interject a completely different sentence in the middle of another — the next time you’re trying to avoid parentheses.

    I literally have a blender on my counter that I haven’t touched in… probably 12 months.

    hayes_ ,

    Oh don’t worry. I also have a bag of frozen berries in my freezer that are also 12 months old.
