Why is coal and fossil fuels still used?
I thought with the explosion of electric power and windmills and the electric vehicle boom, fossil fuels would not be required..
Yet, a lot of countries still generate coal and other fossil fuels, is it because there is still filthy amounts of profit there to be made? Maybe they are just so used to it they don't wanna swap to another resource?
I thought with Solar panels being massively produced, it would sell like hot cakes and you're literally having the power of the sun in your hand.

What corporation would you want gone COMPELTELY?
The worst corp I can think of is Nestlé, these pieces of shit have done a lot of environmental damage and have been known to engage or complicit in slavery.
Erasing Nestlé is like erasing the infectious boil on a human body.
What foul company would you erase for good and why?

Do you haggle? marketplace, comic com etc
Just thought about this question, see I haggled with a stall owner I see every time at a local comic con I go every year, lovely chap and we always have a little cheeky back and forth about certain figures or collectibles.
What about you? Did you ever haggle once for a particular thing you liked? Or are you the straight person who buys it up front?
I'd like to know!

What actually came first? The chicken or the egg?
I think the egg came first because in order for the chicken to even exist and evolve to its current state, it would need to be first hatch only BY THEN it becomes the famous clucking bird we know and love.
Checkmate chicken-ists your move?

Ideally I just wanna lose my gut, I've already started cut back on alcohol and ONLY take two sweet treats in my lunch for work.
Oh and skipping the elevator and rather go up two levels of stairs to my workplace, I find that more rewarding as I think that'll contribute.
Muscle gain wise, I'm starting off with bicep curls and over head press, nothing crazy.
I think I plan to lose the gut and flatten it before I do any sit ups lol.
Thank you for your message.

Good to exercise at home instead of gym?
So since the last 2 days, I've been building the courage up to start doing exercises. I'm starting with weights that were just collecting dust so thought "hell why not, never too late to start getting fit"
Now I'm being realistic knowing that starting off you're not gonna be shredded like a wrestler but I'm just tryna get leaner and fitter body wise.
Is it reasonable for absolute novices to never go to the gym for their exercise and fitness journey? I feel like would be saving some dosh even though I could be missing on some equipment they use there.
A penny for your thoughts?

Favourite 90s platformer?
For me the nostalgia glasses are turned up to the max for Crash Bandicoot.
I love the character designs, and the music is an absolute bop to listen to. (Got the first games theme as my ringtone even at 27!)
And I enjoyed a good challenge with some of its levels. The bosses were neat and I thought it was just an unusual neat idea that you jump on boxes to progress rather than punching a block for a fireflower.
You?

Your favourite season?
My favourite season has gotta be spring, here's why :
For me in the UK, when spring hits its basically a diet coke version of summer, sure there's some rain but boy when it's sunny, then its a great feeling because you're not too hot and bothered.
Same things for sleeping at night, oh and it's not so cold that you can comfortably wear almost anything without being absolutely cooked like an egg!
What about you?

Favourite Mario Kart game?
My favourite has got be Mario Kart Wii, it's still got a community and I'd say it is the Melee of Mario kart.
Plenty of good tracks, roster and bopping music.
What about you? What is your favourite Mario kart? I know Double Dash has a soft spot in some people's hearts.

Favourite Metroid game?
My favourite Metroid game has got to be Zero Mission on the GBA.
A weird choice maybe but it was my first metroid when I played the GBA, I thought the music and atmosphere was kick ass and enjoyed the simple enough controls.
For a 3D Metroid it would be the trilogy on Wii at the time.
What about you?
Favourite type of mommy?

Yours is pretty hot too I guess.

Pre made ingredients still cooking?
Not a snob on cooking and food wise, I found this to be a good question when debating my friend over beans on toast (UK here).
He says it doesn't really count as cooking cos you're just buying already produced ingredients to whack in a microwave or pot and that proper cooking is done from scratch.
I argue this is bullshit as you're still USING common cooking equipment to make as something as simple as beans on toast because you still have to watch it not burn or dry out.
What are your thoughts on what counts as proper cooking? Would you say canned soup counts? Or frozen pizza since you're still needing to use an oven and watch the food accordingly?

Best Gmail alternative?
I'd like to move off from the shackles of the Google menace and transferring my Gmail related accounts over including steam but I'd like some solid advice of any well regarded and better alternatives (including open source if that is possible)
I did search but was unsure of what was best as I did hear some shoddy things about Proton.
Do you know anything that could be the "aegis 2fa" of email providers?
Thank you and have a good day/night.

Your favourite historical country?
My favourite part of modern history is the cold war, my country of choice would be the U.S.S.R
My reasons are simple:
- They sent the first man into space and sent Sputnik which sent the USA into a space chasing frenzy that made moon discovery possible.
- Their flag, whilst simple like the PRC, is iconic in both memes but also infamy amongst Eastern European people as a sign of the historical power they wielded over half of Europe. I also just think it's look cool.
- Some of their structure sort of lives on in the modern era such as the PRC's Politburo basically being a chinese version of the soviet one
- I quite like a lot of the military hardware they made like the T 72 which is my favourite tank.
- The soviets are responsible for Tetris!!!
What is your favourite historical country? It can be ancient, medieval, colonial era or cold war era etc.
Have a good day/night!

Why do you hate Teams/Why is Teams despised?
This is gonna sound like a troll post but i assure you it is not.
I don't have a coding background but I've used Teams in a lot of workplaces and really only encountered like 2 issues entirely.
Either I got seriously lucky or it was before enshittification.
Why do you yourself dislike it? Is it UI? Performance?
I should also say I use Teams for basic purposes like messaging and uploading files, I literally don't touch anything else and performance hadn't been an issue. (Likely because I've been given thicc-ass workstations in the past)

The first Klonoa game on PS1. Always gave me nostalgia that one and Spyro 1 as well, truly nostalgic games of that era

The trailer was pretty cool and I liked the bigger screen. I can't wait to see more of what they will reveal.
And backwards compatible games? That's gonna be a money saver for sure!

Best answer in this thread!

What day do you dislike?
My least favourite day has to be Wednesday because it's still in the middle of the week, you get two more days to battle through and it just feels like it won't ever end.
Monday I can deal with because you know it's only the start, Tuesday it's meh for me.
Thursday I'm okay cos I'm gearing up for Friday and the weekend.
What about you?

A harem of goblin chicks. Simple as.

What's your favourite chocolate?
My favourite chocolate is a british classic, Terry's Chocolate orange.
You get a ball of individual chocolate slices and it tastes pretty nice with that tangy orange after taste.
It's often pretty cheap to get and a staple for many peoples birthdays and celebrations in the UK, you'll always find one on a table or in your kids gift bag.
What about you? What is your favourite and why in the country?

So...you go play them too? Yikes ...

Will Luigi Mangione be bailed out?
As a British lad, I've been keeping tabs on the news about this guy and the wide support he's getting.
With so much support, surely the public will get him out of jail just to spite the bastard rich kids and their CEO baron fathers?
The Man who was shot allowed a massive corporation to dangle its strings over people's lives, medication being pulled away which is horrifying to me who uses the NHS as my primary medical service for hearing.
What do you think? Will Luigi "The CEO Reaper" Mangione ever get out of prison?

Your favourite 40K faction?
My favourite faction has to be the funny greenskins. The orks are just so chaotic and funny to me, I never get tired of seeing them on screen.
I mean, a bunch of cockney bois slapdashing shit together that shouldn't work, and ACTUALLY being a threat is a interesting concept to me.
And that they love the simple life of krumpin some gitz.
What about you, you zoggin meatsack, what's your faction of choice and why?

Your favourite generation of Pokemon?
My favourite generation is the one I have nostalgia for and the first one i played, Gen 3
Ruby and Sapphire i think had really good pokemon designs especially my favourite legendary Groudon, he looked metal as fuck on my copy of Ruby. I enjoyed the soundtrack from the GBA version and matched the anime based from it, Pokemon Advance.
What is your favourite generation and why? What details makes it stand out for you?

Favourite cheese! 🧀
Lads I am CHEESED to ask this question, what is your favourite kind of cheese?
My favourite all time is the classic cranberry Wensleydale. That shit is fruity, tangy and melts in your mouth.

Are the Jedi assholes?
Come to think of it, the Jedi are kinda dicks, they prevented anakin becoming a master despite his obvious talented skills in saber combat and his power in the force.
Not to mention, lore wise they let mundi have relations with his family where as it would've been a kick out for anakin.
Lastly, the jedi were sorta arrogant for thinking that nothing was wrong or that they were perfect despite having literal counterarguments from rebellious masters, Qui Gonn being a good example of somebody smelling the bullshit that the jedi were involved in.
So my fellow sith lords and jedi knights, what say you?

Mirko from the popular My Hero Academia anime/manga series.
She doesn't take crap from anyone and fearlessly goes into battle.

Apologies but I am not american so I don't know where this strange land of Nebraska is to

Dear God... we've been lied to this whole time

Bit rude, Whilst I understand tech changes and evolves, some are literally the Just Works meme and don't need to be rapidly changed.

Is OpenRC meant to be faster than systemD as a process system? I've been thinking of spinning up some non systemD distros like Artix on a VM on a mini DELL tinbox.
I will say though, I am not an advanced Linux user as the distros I've used were :
Ubuntu Endeavour OS SpiralLinux (Easy Mode Debian)
Would I need to make configurations in openrc or can it just run without messing with it like systemD?
Thank you

You're right I did, I completely forgot about them and it's down to the fact that I've not seen a single LC in my city, I should mention the city isn't like London or Manchester in terms of size.

No? Why?
beep beep mothaf*cka

Biker Mice from Mars?
What do you think of my cat?

Other comments say otherwise old chum! Lighten up!

Bit draconian innit

Bro what are you smoking, AAA games are largely shit and the devs who create FOSS games have more soul and better creativity lmao

it's gotta be Xonotic baby, basically a quake clone that is completely free, a decent sized player based and frag loads of fun!
Got it on me Ubuntu desktop starting out for FOSS games.
