There is legit scientific prototypes of solar panels made from non-mined biodegradable materials... if they will become viable and when is another question. But there is no fundemental limits in physics that would make it out of the realm of possiblity.
I think I even remember solar panels made with microorganisms that reproduce.
@tatzelbrumm haha appreciated :)
@tatzelbrumm Im not sure its anything that needs fixing. Remember you lay down in an MRI not sit up so its not a posture thing in the usual sense.
@tatzelbrumm You do not, though you arent the first person who noticed it... I was just sitting in the MRI machine weird I think.
yes, but only organically grown hemp in a green house powered by the solar panels they make!
What if you have kids but enslave them to make an endless line of solar panels?
Nah, word around the water cool is that evidence is proof of a conspiracy and only things without proof are true!
@freepeoplesfreepress Not at all, killing people en mass is quite easy and guns are in no way the exception...
Poisons easy to make or obtain can kill entire rooms of people, pipe bombs made from off the shelf materials as well... trucks can and have plowed through masses of people and killed as many or more than many mass shootings, you could buy an old vacuume tube, peel off the shielding, stick it in a bag and kill everyone with radiation in a room (long term agonizing death)...
There are countless ways a person with very little resources or brain power could kill people en mass in ways that are easier than a gun, and much harder to combat... the idea that guns are singularly unique in their ability to kill en masse is simply false.
Now where a gun **is** unique is it is precise. When it is used to kill it is much easier to kill one bad guy in a crowd and leave the good guys unharmed with a gun than any other method. Which is exactly why we need guns...
I think your missing the point.. .why is "gun violance" a relevant subtopic of violence at all... we dont do it with any other means of violence.. knife violence, poison violence, fist violence... we never single those out, so why guns? It seems arbitrary to me to create that classification at all.
@Monodeath What are you talking about? What magazine? This was not a post on your server, you cant remove it even if you wanted to... and what makes you think you can tell me what topics I can or can not talk about?

How many young people will pretend to care about an issue as an excuse to not go to school... plenty... does she sincerely care aobut the issue... maybe, probably not. She probably wanted to play hookie and when she got swept into the spotlight she ran with it.
I have no issue with her climate activism itself, its good people are speaking out.. but when you use it as an excuse to skip school... no.
As I said gret skipping school to bring awareness to climate change is the equivelant of someone who is pro education starting an oil fire to bring awareness to education... its not worthy of praise.
Yup, im mad with power! I lit an oil fire in my backyard just a few minutes ago cause I was bored :)
Yea sorry but the elitism angle is a weak one... I mean sure the people selling the gas lie, so do many of the people who buy it to justify it to themselves. So does everyone with regard to their self interests... not saying that makes it right, but the blame isnt on the elite alone.
Fair point, as for the rules who are climate change denialists, I think its a mixed bag... most I do think still beleive it, because most are pretty stupid... some are probably faking it though.
As a pro-education supporter I took Greta's cue on activism and decided every time students skip school I will burn oil drums in protest until there is 100% attendance :)
Im no sure I believe here. I think the climate change denialists fully believe their BS.
@freepeoplesfreepress The right to bear arms is an essential right!
I dont disagree with you in principle, obviously everyone wants to reduce needless death.
But I ask you to consider, why did you choose the language "I would like to eliminate mass shootings" and not "I'd like to eliminate mass murder" or even just murder? You never hear people use any other means as a qualifier "I'd like to eliminate mass stabbings" or "I'd like to eliminate mass poisonings" or any of the other ways people can (and have) been killed en mass. For that matter when you are more likely to be struck by lightening than being involved in a mass murder of any kind, why is that a focus at all, regardless of weapon?
