  • ???

    except:

    • lots of land
    • feed (which requires a LOT of land)
    • massive amounts of water
    • insane amounts of antibiotics and assorted other medicine
    • stupid amounts of electricity
    • etc.

    raising cattle on a commercial scale requires mind boggling resources!

    every single study on environmental impacts of food production lists beef as the number 1 worst food source in terms of environmental impacts period.

    “Raising cattle doesn’t require anything.” - yeah, in fantasy land.

    the UK cannot be included, because they aren’t a Schengen-member and the EU doesn’t want customs checks on their train lines…

    it’s entirely up to the UK what they do with their rails within their borders.

    and as was already pointed out:

    there already IS a connection between the EU and the UK!!

    the new plans are largely for connections between capitals of EU countries and major population centers, both of which already have rail connections in the UK.

    so what do you expect the EU to do about the rail network in the UK?


  • simple explanation: people get used to their monitors’ frame rate.

    if all you’ve been using is a 60Hz display, you won’t notice a difference down to 30-40 fps as much as you would when you’ve been using a 144Hz display.

    our brains notice differences much more easily than absolutes, so a larger difference in refresh rate produces a more negative experience.

    think about it like this:

    The refresh rate influences your cursor movements.

    so if a game runs slower than you’re used to, you’ll miss more of your clicks, and you’ll need to compensate by slowing down your movements until you get used to the new refresh rate.

    this effect becomes very obvious at very low fps (>20fps). it’s when people start doing super slow movements.

    same thing happens when you go from 144Hz down to, say, 40Hz.

    that’s an immediately noticeable difference!
