Based on this and other reporting on the subject, I am fairly convinced that the aviation industry cannot and will not become carbon neutral - we'll continue to see these performative bits of PR as the industry tries to reposition itself, and meanwhile jets will continue to spew greenhouse gases into the sky.
For a while I tried to convince myself that I was doing the right thing by buying carbon offsets for my flights. But eventually I couldn't justify that response either. Now I'm one of the folks signed with https://flightfree.org/ and I feel much better.
Admins are aware and are planning an upgrade. It's all volunteers juggling things of course, but there's active discussion going on. There are some potential changes to be reviewed. We should get updated soonTM
Yes, that sentence is in the original article. Did you have something you wanted to discuss? There are three studies in all in the article, so I don't find cherry-picking a single sentence contributes much here.
I think one of the major benefits is that courts do take notice of science, even in this country. The more we get studies on the record, the harder it will be for transphobic laws to stand judicial challenges.
A few more details in the Oregonian make it even more clear that this is not an anti-drug ordinance. The tipoff is that they're adding it to an existing public alcohol consumption ordinance, so selective enforcement is clearly the name of the game.
Also it appears that the county sheriff and the DA are not necessarily on board with this approach.
I did manage to get it through search now, searching on just "Golf" pulls it up along with some other unrelated communities. It did take a good ten minutes or more for the background process to work, so if it's still not showing for you try searching, wait 15 minutes, search again.
Also, see my updated response at the top of this topic. It looks like there's an issue when you're the first one trying to get a community into Beehaw's servers this way.
I'm saddened by this, but not surprised. The rationalist in me wants to think that at some point the red state attacks on science will have consequences in worse quality of life for their residents, but I'm not optimistic enough to believe that will happen before the whole culture collapses.
Not too surprising. This is the same city that recently made it illegal to camp between 8AM and 8PM, effectively outlawing being homeless with possessions (and probably violating federal court rulings).
It's not just about the information though, is it? Web forums can offer a sense of community that his preferred alternative (long-form Medium articles with comments) just can't match, in my experience.
This sort of nonsense is the best reason to vote for the Democrat presidential & senatorial candidates, no matter how odious they are. Someone is going to nominate and confirm 3 or 4 Supreme Court justices in the next decade, and if we let that be the Republicans, we can look forward to a whole court full of Alitos.
Put part of the name ("requests" works in this case) in the search box
Click the Search button
If the community you're looking for doesn't show up, wait a few minutes and try again. It's not at all evident from the UI, but some part of the search process is a background process. So it will eventually show up (and indeed, the one you're looking for is there now).
If it still doesn't show on the list in 5-10 minutes, try broadening your search to the URL of the original community. I haven't checked the code, but this may be necessary if no one from Beehaw has been into the community you're looking for:
Switch the search type from "Communities" to "All"
There's been some discussion of this - it appears that sometimes the counter incorrectly counts comments from kbin and other federated instances more than once. So you're seeing all the comments; it's just that Beehaw's lemmy instance is confused about how many there are.
It's also possible to have hidden comments if they don't match one of your user languages. If you have selected specific languages in your settings, make sure "Undetermined" is one of the selected languages. But that's not the problem with the particular post you linked.
Well...I'm definitely having the issue in 114.0.2 on a Mac. Might be some combo of the addons I have loaded, but given that it seems to be definitely fixed for me in 116 I'm not going to try to track that down further.
This may be fixed in Firefox already. I've been running a Beehaw tab in Firefox Nightly (116.0a1) for a few hours now, and memory appears to be stable.
Speaking just for myself, I'll be giving cultivated meat a pass. Not because I'm a vegan, but because I avoid ultraprocessed foods and venture capitalism as much as possible.
