  Wouldn’t that… just make me stop visiting YouTube instead of making me stop using Firefox?

  I mean, my first reaction when a website is slow is not exactly “maybe I should change browsers”. It’s closer to “maybe I’ll visit a different website”.

  Yeah I was pretty impressed by how awful the air was in Beijing some years ago. Glad to hear it’s getting better.

  Suddenly, living in a sprawling Asian metropolis doesn’t seem so bad. Today’s AQI was mid 50s, which is pretty good for my city.

  Right now it’s rainy season so it’s not that smoggy. Gets worse toward the end of dry season though.

  The first time I flew over a vast expanse of red dust that was once part of the Amazon, I wept.

  For some of us at least, the solution was just… to move on to another country. If there had been problems with guns and socioeconomic divide in Canada, I would have exited even earlier! (I actually left for the fairly boring reason of career progression)

  Although spoiler alert: immigration is difficult, miserable, and a pretty massive commitment overall.

  Looking at the one in the top left… imagine if that was for an amplifier. Like, you have to pass through maximum to reach off. That would be the worst to live near.
