I don’t think they stayed:

Sarah Gilbert is a postdoctoral associate at Cornell University and research director of Cornell’s Citizens and Technology Lab; she studies content moderation, online communities, and research ethics. She’s also a moderator for r/askhistorians, a subreddit known for complex modding systems (r/askhistorians is not one of the subreddits with moderators removed by Reddit).

German Amazon has it. It is not particularly special o’er 'ere.

In terms of ergonomics, I much prefer this one, though.

What are you trying to do here?

They may just be other people’s various devices. Maybe IoT devices or devices not fully set up. If you’re living near a store/above a store, those might be Bluetooth beacons that track people through the store.

What…? No. Definitely not.

Having children perform manual labor in a mine is not going to be ethical at any point.

Pull them immidiately out of all palm oil sourcing and switch to alternative sources

The issue is a bit wider than that. In a lot of cases palm oil is what makes convenience foods so convenient. Palm trees are extremely space-efficient and comparably easy to harvest, so replacing palm oil with e.g. coconut oil or shea butter does not improve upon the situation at all. Palm oil also tends to be unnecessary and unhealthy to its consumers. Essentially, this means stopping production of entire product lines like, say, broth cubes.

And then, do note that a large portion of palm oil/palm products goes into bio-diesel, animal feed and cosmetics/medical products. None of which involves Nestle specifically.

Vow to replenish all lost palm trees affected by palm oil deforestation.

The issue is that rainforest is cut down for palm trees. Palm trees are just the monoculture that was planted afterward. You’d need to restore rainforest.

[Not gonna dissect any further here.]

Edit: I have a better idea, run a sourcing company like Cargill or ADM into the ground. :)

Don’t bother with steps that are each different — making steps the wrong height/length is enough. If you ever walked up/down stairs that felt really weird it’s probably because the builder ignored the international standards on that topic and built steps that are a couple centimeters off.

I mostly agree with the comment, however, mammals are sentient. Our current laws are massively influenced by us not really understanding them and by ideas such as non-humans essentially being “living machines”, created as servants to humanity.

I see … Now on to the second question, I asked that for a reason: I am guessing the UN is probably (one of) the best-funded organizations, but it gets money from pretty much all governments, not just a single one.

“highest” in what sense? Also, funded by a single government only?

Tölpel is originally a species of bird, but you’re right, klutz is pretty close in meaning. Origin-wise it’s pretty different though: klutz (Yiddish) & Klotz (German) are related, which means klutz is more like a stopping block made of wood/metal.

Huh. Google Translate gives me the translation I’d expected:

my colleague is a Black guy

min kollega er en svart fyr

In Germany, we used to have the exact same term with N, but using that term hasn’t been ok since at least the early 90s.

I am almost sure I heard the word “negre” in there after the white guy asks for hair gel.

Just avoid buying diamond jewelry. They dramatically lose value as soon as you walk out of the jewelry store.

I feel like I’ve avoided subscriptions for the most part, except for basics like rent, energy, telephony, a travel card. The software I use is mostly open-source (some of which I voluntary support on a monthly basis). I don’t need paid streaming because public TV streaming is good enough for shows/movies and YouTube with ad-block is good enough for music. I don’t game.

The entire premise of this question seems insane. The only industry in which caffeine is vital is probably the coffee industry.

Yeah, there would be a black market and what not but that doesn’t mean the world would stop turning off supply ran out.

No, they were just really big on specialty meats/cheeses in open containers, left in the fridge for weeks.

Good point about condiments, those really tend to accumulate in fridges for years. Sometimes I just don’t shop for a few weeks and try to use up all the food at home.

Interesting! Never heard of that but it makes sense.
