i guess so…but i was talking globally: planting trees doesn’t sound efficient (at least in rural areas): it eats up fertile land and fresh water that could otherwise be used to grow crops or feed fresh water to humans. wind farms and solar should also be installed offshore to avoid wasting fertile land. also europe could use interconnectors to help transfer excessive energy produced by renewable between its countries to mitigate production intermitancy. extra urban estate should be dedicated for social housing or, ofc planting trees (if water reserves allow it)(china could afford planting extra trees, but europe can’t afford that luxury for now and should implement social housing instead)(poorer countries are lightyears behind both europe and china, and china ofc leads the pack)
idk, a tree sound cool, but is it efficient ? a windmill could power an electrolyzer that could produce oxygen (from salty sea water) or power a carbon capture device. a windfarm could do both maybe. at least windfarms and solar are expendable and could be installed offshore, and a fertile land should prioritize crop growth instead of growing trees (also not growing trees help save water aquiefers for crop growth or human consumption and avoid the need for desalination stations) or installing renewable
tbh its so cool: it could be considered as a big dpf that needs to be cleaned every year or so, when it gets saturated. very useful around city limits and airport facilities
idk what gaming implies but i think normal gaming is ok, on the other hand competetive gaming is absurd: 360fps@4k required, 10000dpi mouse (dafuq), optomechanical keyboard for nanosecond response lol (although i bought into one thou, didnt cost me a leg at least) …just game responsibly at 1080 at normal dps and all should be fine…also cutting on those energy drinks would be an extra. hardcore gaming is just straight consumerism. also i loathe twitch streaming…such a waste of bandwidth and resources
In this section, the narrator explores the peculiarities of how cities are defined in the UK. Unlike other countries where city status is typically determined by population or government structure, Britain has its own unique criteria. The list of officially recognized cities in the UK includes some surprising and seemingly unworthy contenders, while notable places like London, Reading, and Northampton are mysteriously absent. Contrary to popular misconceptions, having a cathedral or a university does not necessarily confer city status. Instead, city status in Britain is granted by the monarch through personal command and letters patent. This tradition dates back to the 10th century and is the sole determinant of whether a place is officially classified as a city. The misconception that cathedrals play a role in city status stems from the historical significance of powerful church centers in small settlements. However, in the 19th century, as towns grew due to the Industrial Revolution, the rules were changed, and places like Birmingham gained city status based on their industrial importance rather than religious institutions. Overall, the criteria for city status in Britain are distinct and can be attributed solely to the monarch’s decision. 00:05:00 In this section, the narrator discusses the inconsistencies in the list of British cities and how some cities have lost their city status. The merging of Rochester with its neighbors in 1998 inadvertently removed it from the official list of British cities. However, the opportunity to regain city status came in 2000 when the government allowed towns to bid for it. Many towns submitted bids, with Reading being the favorite to win. Ultimately, three new cities were added to the list: Brighton, Hove, and Inverness. The narrator questions the advantages of being a city instead of a town, as the benefits seem minimal. The bidding process seems to benefit the government in terms of positive PR without requiring much commitment. 00:10:00 In this section, the speaker questions the government’s authority to change the definition of a city and suggests that perhaps it’s time to abandon this system altogether and replace it with something more meaningful. However, the speaker recognizes that the government has more pressing matters to address and doubts that redefining the definition of a city will be a priority. The speaker concludes that this tradition, filled with pomp, ceremony, and a bit of royalty, is a quintessentially British thing that adds to the country’s charm, and it’s unlikely to change anytime soon. The speaker humorously predicts that at the current rate, every corner of the country will become a city by the year 3000.
