LED's are awesome! I replaced my bathroom lights when I got into this apartment, that saved me 90 watts. And this may be unusual, but those are on for about 8 hours a day here

Although you're right that that energy is not spent cooking, it is helping to heat your home, and save you mental energy. Energy you can spend calculating how much energy you're actually saving.

You're talking about a couple hundred watts. You could cook non-stop for your entire life and you still wouldn't waste as much energy as a single flight with a modern airplane.

We're spending more just typing on our phones today, considering the phone, the inefficient charger left plugged in, the server of the platform we're posting on.

Try seeing of any of the lamps in your house can be upgraded to led. That could save you hundreds of watts for hours every day. (hundreds of watts per hour).
Go to work by bicycle, or train, or bus. (thousands of watts a day)\

There have been countless ideas to make cars more efficient. But guess what? That doesn't make oil billionaires more billions, so you're not going to get much investment

Oh nice, thank you! And yep, those do appear to be missing

I'll have to find some specific examples then

I just thought this: could this finally kill the ridiculous practice of cutting off babies' foreskins?

I checked on steam here in Europe, I did not see any adult content disappear. But to be fair, payment processors don't get to discriminate here

Ye no shit. Anyone who thinks for more than two seconds should realise there is no universal knowledge that's just magically equal for everyone. "Common sense", is probably closer to "being reasonable" but more often used to say "just go with your first thought"

Yes, that would be great

Oh, good catch! I have to say I don't usually look at what specific tls version websites use. I'll be paying attention to this for a bit

1. private, secure dns, so they don't know the domains you're visiting
2. https everywhere, so they can't see any of the data you're sending or receiving

All that's left is what ip's you're connecting to. Which is useless half the time, especially since most websites are behind cloudflare or some other anti-ddos proxy already.

Also, don't use the web browser that came with your phone. Some manufacturers and isp's might enjoy adding tracking into those. Some, like Apple, even got caught not encrypting amy of that.

Side note:

• https everywhere is pretty much the standard in modern web browsers
• an adblocker can still help a lot in blocking trackers
• a secure dns you can find in your browser settings

Dang, sounds like those plates are perfectly age appropriate for your gf
