  • The worst thing about this is that fish is probably the least sustainable protein around.

    That’s saying a lot, because beef is pretty fucking bad, but at least we can raise beef rather sustainably, it’s just not cost effective or scalable, especially if you want to be a bit humane about it.

    Most commercial fish we consume are middle- or top-food-chain. That means they need to eat other fish. Which means that even farming them relies on harvesting fish from the ocean, or farming an entire foodchain below them (and adequate for each life stage, at that). Farmed fish are implicitly dependent on traditional ocean fishing.



  • It wasn’t too early, maybe 1997.

    I was like 12 or so and I had just installed Linux.

    I figured out, from the book I was working with, how to get my windows partition to automaticallyount at boot. Awesome!

    I had not been able to figure out how to start “x” though.

    So I rebooted into Windows, for on EFnet #linux, and asked around.

    Got a command, wrote it down on a slip of paper, and rebooted into Linux.

    I should mention, I also hadn’t figured out about privileges, or at least why you wouldn’t want to run around as root.

    Anyway, I started typing in the command that I wrote down: rm -rf /.

    I don’t have to tell you all, that is not the correct command. The correct command was startx.

    After I figured it was taking way too long, I decided to look up what the command does, and then immediately shut down the system.

    It was far too late.
