All the homies lesbians agree.

Ok, magpies.

No, I don’t think all animals necessarily have a significant sense of ownership. But plenty do.

Consider the dog that barks at/attacks anyone who approaches its yard, even though the dog uses it for nothing more than crapping in.

What you are describing sounds more like all leasing is theft - holding property not just for personal use, nor just to deprive others of it (as in the dog), but to extract additional gain.

Re 1 & 2, just because there are differences and conflicts does not mean they are unmanageable or irreconcilable.

3 is just sounding no-true-Scotsman.

robots should take over repetitive, boring, dangerous labor that nobody wants to do so everyone’s time can be freed up for work and other activities we prefer to do = luxury space communism

Just because some property can be owned does not mean all property must be owned.

Land rights are sometimes split up e.g. a wolf pack might mark and defend their territory - but this is only with respect to other wolves; they are not claiming ownership of the bird nesting areas. But a bird would not appreciate another bird taking their nest.

I am not sure that either #2 or #3 are universally accepted by those who consider themselves ‘left’.

I can see that being an ultra corporate enshittification take, too.

No personal ownership of cars. You must purchase a non transferable license that gives you the opportunity to benefit from the use of a Tesla^TM vehicle. Available in 12- or 24-month periods.

The UK has somehow managed to have multiple reasonable scale independent parties survive, but agreed.

And that is why electoral reform is important; so that splitting the vote is not penalised.

Still increases air resistance. It gets hit by air, and that pushes it back into the fuselage.

Larger aircraft commonly have a ram air turbine (RAT) or Air Driven Generator (ADG) to provide some electrical power and hydraulics in certain emergency situations.

On CRJs, it’s right up the front: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxgPrpjByTE

Still delivers a percent or two penalty to fuel burn, and the tiny little generator doesn’t even come remotely close to making up for that.

Non-single-use plastic isn’t really a problem. It’s no worse than equivalent metal parts.

The issue with aviation hydrogen is… well, lots.

• Fuel cells are heavy and direct combustion is inefficient and tougher than burning kerosene.

• Aircraft typically use the wing structural members as the fuel tank walls. Both cryogenic and pressurised options make that a non-starter.

• Lower density means much bigger tanks.

• Self-vapourising fuel is a major crash issue.

• Round trip efficiency for H2 is still terrible.

Plants may not be particularly efficient per km^2 but arable land isn’t actually that hugely scarce.

Reducing aviation is really the only thing that’s actually going to work.

Biofuels/ethanol/SAF are much the same; often derived from corn.

In many cases, the oil/gas/electricity used for harvesting, processing, cracking etc. is actually comparable to or exceeds the carbon released by simply drilling for and burning the oil in the first place.

“Stop getting worse” is a pretty major improvement. And yes, trees work as carbon sequestration.

Most (all?) CCS is not grabbing random carbon from the atmosphere. It’s pulling it out of smokestacks so you can keep burning fuel while claiming it’s green. It is not net negative even if working as intended.

New Zealand!

Surely $75k isn’t nearly enough to afford a pardon?

We have 5S.

The tool cabinets are in useful places but the keys for them are all back at the maintenance office.

They threw out the spare bolts because it was easier than organising them.

That would likely be the winch, but yes, you’ll need a nice large regenerating motor drive.

I would hazard a guess that a 40t-rated winch, 40t-rated 100m wire rope, and 40t-rated steel bucket to hold the scrap each cost more than a 10kWh battery.
