it is better than the competition but it will never be like Google before 2019 because they'll never build their own index.

While researching another issue, I found some evidence that a vegan diet can be better than the average meat diet. This could be because the meat in pet food is of poor quality and is more likely to be spoiled than plants.

You could of course grow mice or purchase expensive meats but once it is well-rearched, a vegan diet may be a more economical way to provide a good nutrient profile.

Crime novels about murders are a very popular type of book. Do you think that people read them because they'd enjoy watching murder in real life?

Also, the writing seriously is that good. I'd have completed the book if it was about watching paint dry.

Pyre is an interesting sports game IMO because it doesn't try to look like any real sport.

AITA is garbage because it isn't about finding the best course of action but about whether you can pretend that your behaviour is justified, which is not helpful.

You don't need to cite, you need to provide source code. The point of GPL is to allow the user to inspect and modify the software. You can even sell it as long as you provide the modified source code under the same license.

Unfortunately these people can't distinguish actual science from bad science or completely made up things that claim to be based on science.

Plastic packaging has issues but climate change is not one of them. Shipping also isn't impactful at all. Most shipping emissions happen when the product moves to the store, not when it sails in a container ship.

Based on your post, the main evil of the corporations is manipulating the media, confusing people with things like abolishing plastic straws (which are very efficient at what they do).

Eating beef, owning a car and buying unnecessary stuff (for example those bottled drinks) are huge. They easily make up half of a persons emissions. An accurate measure is hard because of secondary effects like needing less road with fewer cars.

The main character in I, Robot is Dr. Susan Calvin. It also features Donovan and Powell. Elijah is from the robot trilogy, which happens centuries after I, Robot.

I would say the only thing the movie has in common with the book is that it mentions the book's main character and the laws of robotics. The book is all about weird behavior of robots that actually obey the laws but the movie just treats them as some corporate doublespeak.

Of course there is a limit. The question is how high it is. For instance, at high enough CO2 concentrations, the greenhouse effect doesn't get much stronger anymore. Also, the more CO2, the faster it dissapears by eroding rocks. That happens on a geological timescale, though.

If we did something to lower temperature, I'd be very worried about the CO2 concentration's other effect: feeling like suffocating all the time.
