In the past decade, China has regrown more than 70 million hectares of forest cover. The country has benefited greatly from solutions in biodiversity conservation, sustainable usage and climate governance, resulting in wetland and forest restoration that also combats desertification. (link to a WEF article on China’s reforestation efforts)

… it has made “remarkable strides” in tackling the issue, said Xinhua, beginning in 1978 with the launch of the “Great Green Wall of China”. Expected to continue until 2050, the “biggest tree-planting project in human history” will ultimately have created “88 million acres of forests in a wall stretching about 3,000 miles and as wide as 900 miles in some places”, (article from The Week regarding anti-desertification efforts)

In November 2024, China’s government reported that after 46 years of work it had finished the 3,000-kilometer green belt around the Taklamakan Desert. The country’s forest coverage grew from 10% of the overall territory in 1949 to 25% in 2024 (this one’s a link to the Wikipedia page for the Great Green Wall initiative, if you’re interested)

they sure did!

this is incorrect, the origin of the term “tankie” comes from the UK in the 50s, used to refer to hard-line communists. The term references the USSR sending the military to Hungary in 1956 in response to the Hungarian Revolution.

I’m punching to the right, it’s not my fault the Dems are always standing there 🤷

it runs great, no problems on the performance front. the controls do not lend themselves very well to gameplay on the steam deck though. there’s some good community-made control layouts that kind of help, but due to the interface being catered towards having a mouse available, be prepared for a slow and tedious time.

If that doesn’t sound like a deterrent to you, then by all means full steam ahead! be aware that Dwarf Fortress doesn’t have cloud save functionality, so if you were wanting to play the same fort on both PC and steam deck, it’s unfortunately not possible.

I prefer this one

i have a kobo libra 2 and it’s served me very well. I sail the high seas for most of my books and I haven’t had any issues at all loading content onto it, it’s always fast and responsive, and I cannot understate how nice having physical page turn buttons is. highly recommend if you can find one, though theyve been mostly discontinued to make room for the color model that came out recently (would not recommend the color version, color e-ink is very hit or miss right now and it’s not worth the screen quality trade-off).

$100k btw

honestly the dems were perfectly capable of losing the election all on their own, they really didn’t need any assistance in that department

name checks out

got me in the first half etc

in about 20 or so there won’t be anyone left to repeat it

never takes much for a zionist to fly off the handle and start calling people terrorists 🤦

a single flight on a private jet smashes any amount of carbon I could output in my entire lifetime. it is not all of us equally, it is a handful of ultrawealthy people destroying the planet.

for the record I also think it’s gross when Californians fuck their cousins
