C’est un drapeau irlandais, mais il n’y a qu’un peu d’océan entre les deux !

Désolé pour la langue anglaise ! Il est écrit “British meeting point” (point de rencontre britannique)

Um, should they even have to ask for help?!

Agreed. I would’ve paid if the price wasn’t so steep and felt a bit guilty, despite having paid for the Reddit version a few times

Really glad I didn’t now because the dev has disappeared, but I hope he’s ok!

I can’t stand detective series

I’m not even particularly keen on David Mitchell

Absolutely no fucking idea why I enjoyed “Ludwig” this week then

I think the average tory-voting fuckwit was really struggling to support Sunak so the majority of these goons will take one look at this lass and go

Probably a good thing then lol

Thanks, Train facts person

I mean, you literally just open it in a browser with a paywall remover. It takes less effort than fucking moaning about paywalls -

Tiny pieces of plastic that pollute the environment can be produced by simply opening a plastic bottle or tearing a food wrapper.

Microplastics are between 0.001 and 5 millimetres in size and are usually either produced directly, or form when large plastic debris breaks up. We now know that millions of tonnes of microplastics are abundant in the environment and can harm marine life by entering the food chain. Microplastics are also found in our food, although the effect on human health is still unclear.

“Plastic is everywhere and enters our daily lives – and microplastics might be there as well,” says Cheng Fang at the University of Newcastle, Australia.

He and his colleagues tested whether everyday activities could release microplastics. They opened common plastic items such as bags, bottles and packaging film by twisting the bottle cap or tearing the bag, for example, or by cutting them with scissors or a knife, which deforms and fractures the plastic.

The team used a scale that is sensitive to weights as low as one nanogram to collect and measure the microplastics that landed on its surface. Between about 10 and 30 nanograms of microplastic were released from opening the plastic items, which amounts to between 14,000 and 75,000 individual microplastic particles. But the team says that the true amount released is probably even higher, because many microplastics are statically charged and remain in the air.

Studying the microplastics with a microscope revealed that most were in the form of fragments or fibres of varying shape and size. Some could be seen with the naked eye, such as those from cutting bottles. The team also used a technique called spectroscopy to deduce the microplastics’ chemical composition and found the majority were made of polyethylene, one of the most widely used plastics.

“This finding sends an important warning,” says Fang. “We might need to take our own responsibility and work with industry together to reduce [microplastics].”

“You’d love to say that you’re surprised and shocked at the results, but unfortunately, you’re not. We’re now realising that microplastics are literally everywhere,” says Christian Dunn at Bangor University, UK. It is now crucial that we work to find out the possible health effects of microplastics and cut back on unnecessary plastic use, he says.

Fuckin long headline to say “because they’re cowards” lol

I don’t think people would mind.

Bear in mind the NY Post is a tabloid shitrag like the Daily Fail and the headlines are designed to get clicks. Including the punchline in your summary would save people clicking

Downvotes duh

Exactly, on a Theseus level, this pc still has the same deck, bow and stern, keel etc

It’s the same pc

Amazing that everything still fits 20 years later

Does for 96% of the market lol

I use Windows because it just works

complain about throwing a billion pumpkins into landfill

Order a billion tonnes of plastic shite off Temu which then breaks, and throw it into landfill

Fucking keep chucking the pumpkins, guys

I lived in Paris for a year, speak french and respect people who work extremely difficult jobs in the most tourist-heavy city on the planet

I think I met three or four grumpy cunts in that year. Considering everything, that’s a miniscule percentage

Bear in mind these people aren’t being false-nice. They don’t rely on tips to feed their kids

Are the “top critics” all fourteen and freshly arrived from shagging my mum?

“Bethesda covers its arse in anticipation of a bunch of terminally online American teenagers who just learnt the word ‘nazi’ and would use it to describe a fuckin nun if it made them feel a bit morally superior for ten seconds”

When they post asking for help with Windows and get an entire thread of answers from obnoxious elitist wankers who couldn’t even decide on a distro between them
