@b6hydra The broken link I mentioned above can still be found in the internet archive so you can still read it thankfully.
Source for iPhone is no longer up (404) but cited the iphones carbon footprint for production and lifetime use at 68 kg.Source used to be here:

Carbon footprint is 1.39 per cigarette according to this source:

@b6hydra 6 years of smoking cigerettes, 1 pack a day, would be equivelant in CO2 emissions to an iPhone 8's production and use over its lifetime. That doesnt account for other environmental impact of cigarettes such as the land use or the burden ont he medical system, So overall I'd say they are likely somewhat comparable in terms of impact, cigerettes may even be worse.
@samuraikid and? Two people in a picture together adds nothing of relevance. Now the story behind the picture **might** make an argument that raises suspicion if there is anything to suggest she was engaging in sex trafficking. But a picture of two people sitting next to eachother adds nothing to the conversation on its own.
@samuraikid
Note the atlantic article talks about the general frequency of sex trafficking, and seems to argue it happens but is rare among children. It cites fairly reliable studies (at least on the surface, I am still fact checking it) to that end.
The other article you posted isnt a rebuttal to this. It talks about a well known high profile case of sex trafficking we all are aware of but makes no argument even attempting to claim that it is commonplace. No one is arguing it is nonexistant, so the fact that some examples exist isnt a counter argument.
@samuraikid
Your assurances doesnt mean much, I draw my judgements from good sources of data/statistics. Likewise I would judge the article by the quality of the sources they use to make their claim.
@samuraikid
They culd be right about that, I dunno. While im sure there are cases of sex trafficking, n doubt, it may be rare enough among children that it wouldnt be accurate to call it an epidemic. Id have to read the article to judge its stance.
@js290 Ok, so that quote basically says "The vaccine will offer significant protections but will not prevent mild cases limited to the nose, but it will stop the spread from the nose to the lungs"
Cool
Anyone out there habe a #Garmin watch and want to connect on Garmin Connect?
