Pushing up the price of oil and stopping production could actually be carbon negative.

I work in post, but not in Canada.

Postal facilities often move >100k items a day. Or much more. Occasionally, a parcel will go missing, lose its label, be destroyed and unrecognizable, or end up in a place no one thought it was possible for something to fit. Thin items are especially bad for this.

There is only so much that can be done to try and follow it via CCTV and/or scans. Whether they have done everything practical, I don’t know.

We don’t machine sort passports (which reduces the chances of it getting lost/destroyed), but I think that’s only new passports coming from the printers. Your passport may have been treated like any other courier item - assuming Canada’s processes are similar.

The rest of it is probably a question for a travel sub.

Did you not find an answer yourself; i.e. ‘asshole’? Most other anatomical inserts also apply, at least the non-gendered ones.

• Does not offend any particular group, except perhaps those with a colostomy.

• Still an insult.

The remainder are generally insulting because they imply you’re so X that you must be a member of group X. I.e. calling someone brain-dead, an idiot, a moron, slow, the French word for slow etc. You can’t call someone stupid without calling them stupid, even in an indirect way.

Edit: Neanderthal and troglodyte might work on the grounds that you’re comparing them to extinct species, and of course you could go for inanimate objects e.g. thick as pigshit, as smart as a bag of rocks etc.

It’s satire. Good satire, but satire.

I found opensuse’s default firewall rules were very restrictive and you needed to open a port.

I expect so.

KDE Connect also works great as a remote control for many things, presumably including this.

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

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.

Bankrupting a casino is usually a good thing. E.g. “I’m the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo”.

Using it to launder money usually results in an extremely profitable casino, not the opposite.

Secondhand stuff can be really cheap if you know where to look, but the drawbacks are usually power and noise.
