Most likely but it’s funnier if you don’t think about that.

I havent seen that episode, but it is kind of an issue how whenever you try to put a bunch of poor/homeless people together, others start to avoid that area and jobs/services become scarce.

I like the idea of “mixed income housing”. Apartment buildings with a mix of free, cheap, and regular priced units. The standard units would probably be valued a bit lower than the normal market price, giving mid-income people an incentive to live there, and the homeless people who move in get to be part of a normal-ish community.

100 homeless people stuck in one place can cause a lot of chaos, but a small small group here and there seems a lot more manageable.

Another solution then: automatically download/cache a user’s most frequently played tracks. I know downloading is a premium feature or whatever but they should consider it if it would save them money.

I think the raw oils are not that bad (maybe in quantity it becomes an issue). Coconut oil I know is saturated fat, so that can be bad for your heart.

I think the bigger issue is how they are used in processed food. Just about every processed food has “partially hydrogenated soybean oil” or something like that, which is basically the worst possible thing for cholesterol.

It’s the same with how everyone started using Crisco because lard was thought to be unhealthy. It turns out heavily processed vegetable oils are worse.

To add a bit more about Shadow Tactics, it is a top-down 3D game where you control a crew of characters with different abilities (ninja, samurai, sharpshooter, etc.)

It is real time but you can plan actions to happen simultaneously, so it feels really cool to solve the stealth puzzles by combining the characters’ different abilities.

Also good atmosphere, voices, story, etc. Just a very good game.

Unfortunately fascist spaces will exist and cannot be prevented because of the core nature of Lemmy/fediverse architecture. Anyone can start their own instance and post whatever they want.

However, if the main popular instances defederate with them, then most users won’t have to see those posts.

These technologies to capture small amounts of “leftover” energy are neat, but the problem is that by definition you will never get as much out of them as you would from “bulk” energy sources. Often you end up spending more effort/tech/materials for a smaller output, so you’re just better off building more solar panels and investing in some storage for cloudy days.

If there happens to be some cheap easy solution to get little pieces of energy here and there, then sure, why not? But it’s not going to fill the gap, and it’s not worth spending major effort on for a small return.
