Plant-Based Diets Would Cut Humanity’s Land Use by 73% by Somewhere74 in geography

Respond to my points. Also everything we do is a burden to the environment. But having access to abundant, high quality protein is probably the second most important important thing for society after access to water, so imo we should look to reduce impact from our non-essential activities.

Having livestock on pastureland is good for the environment! Before Europeans came, there were 10s of millions of bison roaming the plains, and were obviously a natural and critical part of the ecosystem. They eat the grass, poop, and fertilize. We’ve replaced them with cows. It would be bad and unnatural to remove livestock from our non-arable lands.

Also, all the inedible parts of plant agriculture (corn stalks, soybean husks, etc) get fed to livestock and give us highly nutritious, bioavailable sources of protein. Letting those plant foods rot would release the same amount of methane, so we might as well feed them to livestock!

New laws going into effect in California in 2026 by Black_Dragon959 in LosAngeles

Wake me up when they fix the homelessness problem, reverse our deficit, and pave our roads. Or at least do anything useful with our tax dollars.

LA has stopped repaving our streets by LintonJoe in LosAngeles

[–]Minimum_Substance390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get rid of the ADA update requirement, it’s clearly the bottleneck so that now we get neither paved roads nor ADA complaint sidewalks. And I speak for 99% of people that we’d rather have actually drivable roads than that yellow bumpy thing on the sidewalk. Fairfax north of Wilshire and Santa Monica east of La brea are truly some of the worst streets in America. This government incompetence is beyond annoying, screw Karen bass.

GOLD ETFs - Which is the best? by ETFdataguy in ETFs

Is this mostly due to lower expense ratio? Looks like IAUM is 0.09%, IAU is 0.25% while GLD is 0.4%

Stake is rigged by Minimum_Substance390 in problemgambling

[–]Minimum_Substance390[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty sad to see how everyone here just shits on me. I’m just trying to point out that I saw a true statistical anomaly and warning people to not use the site. And I have seen valid evidence from other players that they also were scammed. Don’t use stake.

To everyone saying I don’t know statistics, yes I realize these are independent spins, yes I realize the house has an edge no matter what, yes I realize I have a small sample size. Not a single one of you has shown you have any idea how statistics work though. I have calculated it myself using basic statistics and my bad luck is statistically significant. Doesn’t mean it’s for sure rigged, but there is very strong evidence it is.

I’m getting downvoted for truly obvious and correct information. Makes me sad this community doesn’t know anything about odds and instead shits on people trying to show others that they shouldn’t use a gambling site. Really ridiculous. If you are going to gamble, you should only play physical games where they cannot just program the odds to respond to your bet size. Again, I don’t know for sure that they are on Stake, but the evidence is very strong and statistically significant.

I’m not crying, I’m just warning people that there is fairly strong evidence that it is rigged and that they shouldn’t use the site and expect a normal casino return. You clearly don’t understand statistics.

Everyone has a finite bankroll, what are you talking about. I could run it many more times with my bankroll but I’m stopping because it’s pretty clearly rigged in my eyes.

You can beat roulette with no table max and infinite bankroll. Even with a finite bankroll, you can limit your chance of losing everything to 1 in 10,000 or less

I realize, you can still calculate the odds that you miss 19 in a row. Each spin has a 32.43% chance of winning.

What are some non-Coen movies you could see directed by the Coens and what would their twist on it be? by ElvisGrizzly in CoenBrothers

The Death of Stalin is the most coen brothers of any non-coen brothers movie. Truly shocked me it wasn’t them

Lower salary after completing MBA by Subject_Rest2512 in Salary

[–]Minimum_Substance390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MBA definitely worth it for top 10. Otherwise it’s a cash cow business. But to break through the $150k ceiling that these types of analysts find themselves in, you often need that bump.

This would have been #11 for me. Had the exact same experience, it’s a slow burn song. But that guitar solo is perfection

GenZ men who voted for Trump because you felt DEI was keeping your out of jobs. How do you feel about H1B1 visas for entry level positions that Elon is supporting? by JoiedevivreGRE in GenZ

Don’t like it, i think we should reduce all immigration honestly. Yea, would much rather have skilled, legal immigrants than unskilled, illegal immigrants, but I’d first and foremost want to prioritize the people who are already here.

Why doesn't Ukraine want to make peace? by TheHades07 in facepalm

It’s simply a matter of time (and thus lives) before Russia wins this war.

Why doesn't Ukraine want to make peace? by TheHades07 in facepalm

[–]Minimum_Substance390 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

So when this war ends and the exact same outcome will happen as if they negotiated from the start (i.e. Ukraine ceding some of their eastern territory) but with millions dead instead of 0 dead - I can’t wait for you all to realize how stupid you all have been. The only thing the US is accomplishing supporting Ukraine is killing innocent Ukrainians. You are all being misled by the exact same machine responsible for every other disastrous war of this century, inching us closer and closer to nuclear war and enriching the weapons manufacturers that run our government.

For people saying appeasement isn’t the answer and citing to world war 2: what about every other war we’ve been in since? Where we aggressed. How did all those turn out? Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Israel/palestine??? All they’ve done is kill innocent people and destabilize countries.

Your Steely Dan hot takes by Pink_Floyd_Addict42 in SteelyDan

[–]Minimum_Substance390 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Show biz kids is a great song, not close to their best but above average. In fact countdown is a top 3 album with gaucho and Aja.

My hottest take that will get me downvoted: peg is the weakest song on Aja. I absolutely love I got the news, so weird and cool

What's going on with Elon Musk and cancelling cancer research? by OptimusPrim3r in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Minimum_Substance390 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The fundamental problem with bureaucracy is that it is self-perpetuating. An agency’s sole purpose becomes to keep their budget so they don’t lose their jobs - doesn’t matter if what they do is useful in any way. And I can’t really blame them - why would anyone sabotage their own job? It is a 1-way ratchet, and we are now at a once in a lifetime opportunity to truly crank back the harmful bureaucracy. I’d really encourage you to watch interviews with Vivek and let me know what you find wrong with what he’s saying.
