It's just not a long term thing, for obvious reasons. People do it for a bit and then realise that the lifestyle is transient. So it doesn't go on long enough to cause serious problems.
If you're still doing this at age 50 then you'll be a lonely old man.
TfL have official information on this, it's not a random number.
I'm not doing your research for you. The poor and middle class do drive in London. If you think otherwise you're simply mistaken, even in a back of the envelope sense. There are over 2 million cars in London, I don't know who you think owns them if not ordinary people.
Legal is very useful in the general case, but if you're an anonymous torrent site operator who fully intends to ignore the law anyway it's a waste of time.
Basically all of an actual software company is bullshit jobs unrelated to the core product like legal, marketing, investor relations, HR, maybe even developers for R&D etc.
Running a website doesn't require that many people.
I've worked at companies with 4 developers and 30+ "other stuff". The company would not be profitable and we would not get paid without them, but the actual product would work just fine if we wanted it to.
I'm surprised that this wasn't already done - could you save fuel if you knew you had a lower take off weight?
Or maybe weigh the whole plane before take off?
I find it amusing that weight is somehow some precious value, though. If someone is embarassed about being fat I mean, everyone around them can see that.
You're right and it works, but people with eating disorders have mental health issues that push them into obsessive behaviours, they need to be trained out of them.
An anorexic could hear that advice and decide that well, 1500 under maintenance is even better right? Not great.
Hiking is just fun. Like, actually fun. If you set up the mental barrier that exercise is bad and sucks and feels bad, then sure, now it's bad.
If you're super unfit it might suck, much like sitting down and bashing out some cool scripts in Python would suck if you had no programming knowledge, but that's fixable for most.
I don't think that being good or bad at something has as much of an impact as whether you're interested in it or motivated by it and therefore choose to do it in the first place.
When someone says they're bad at running, they typically don't mean that they would be bad if they went on a training regimen, they mean that their current state is untrained, bad.
I'm happy to discuss it, but almost always, including now, it seems to be a waste of time, because I agree with you! I think you're correct in identifying that a vegan diet has lower emissions and externalities than an omnivorous diet.
I can't speak for others, but at least for me, an omnivorous diet is not suboptimal.
It may have higher emissions, but that's not the sole metric I use when deciding what to do. I think that would result in clinical depression, because I could always ratchet down my emissions by, for example, buying fewer board games, until I just don't really do anything.
Can't even go camping with a gas stove!
In everyday life I don't generally discuss my diet beyond small talk.
So you'd probably lump me in with that 95% of irrationals, because in person, I'd just try to change the subject.
Maybe there's a way to fix this with language? If someone says that they use the metro or cycle to work, I'm like, cool man, trains are sick, let's chat.
If someone says they "support a car-free lifestyle", I'm probably already starting to think about something else and glazing over.
