Over 60 years of life, if you keep your smartphone for an average of two years, then you'll need 30 devices. If you keep your phone for five years, then you'll need 12 devices. The European Environmental Bureau has stated that extending the lifespan of smartphones and other electronics by just one year would save the EU as much carbon emissions as taking two million cars off the roads annually. https://gerrymcgovern.com/tips-for-more-sustainable-smartphone-use/

"Several sources alleged the prince brazenly lived off of the proceeds of selling worthless titles—dame, knight, count, prince—in exchange for ‘free’ donations for the Cernetic royal house, as well as passports for a few thousand euros each."

The Prince

On the French Riviera and Italian coast, in the yacht clubs and shimmering ballrooms, everyone, including Pamela Anderson, wanted to get close to the prince. So did investigators. The story of Stefano Cernetic.

#JournalistsOnMastodon

Folks, I just found a treasure trove:

a list of over 1,300 #journalists that already are on #Mastodon in the form of a #googledoc

In order to give the #BorgSite its final push, journalists there need to see that there really is an audience for them here in the free #fediverse

Some pull marketing would be helpful: follow as many, as you find sensible. This helps a lot.

Please boost!

"In the 316 classrooms that had mechanical ventilation with rates of 1.4–14 litres per second per person, the students’ risk of infection was reduced by at least 74% over a 4-month period at the end of 2021, compared with that for students in classrooms that relied on windows for ventilation. ... When ventilation rates were at least 10 l/s per student, the infection risk was 80% lower."

Indoor air is full of flu and COVID viruses. Will countries clean it up?

The current pandemic has focused attention to the importance of healthy indoor air and could spur lasting improvements to the air we breathe.
