Im bored at work, and you've given me a mathematical itch to scratch.

A quick search tells me that a liter of gasoline being burned emits 2.3 kg of CO2. Another quick search, after digging through a few weasel words, tells me a liter of jet fuel emits 3.16 kg of CO2 when burned.

I ride a motorcycle (975 Nightster for reference) to work most of the time, and it gets 100 km on 5 liters pretty easily. Riding to work and back is about 40 minutes, and a total distance of about 33 kilometers round trip.

A Learjet 45 Apparently uses 580 liters per hour.

For me to ride to work, I use ~1.65 liters of gasoline which works out to 3.8 kg of CO2.

A single four-hour flight on the aforementioned private jet is 2,320 liters of jet fuel, which is 7,331 kg of CO2. To offset that, I'd need to ride my bicycle or walk to work for 1,929 days or approximately 7 years.

"No, I don't know who broke your car's windows. I don't work for you anymore, stop hassling me."

I love finding old fleet vehicles. I currently own what used to be a Menard's rental truck.

And just generally feel better.

Here is an excellent video showing how to defend yourself from a knife attack.

If someone can get a long distance telephoto shot of him, someone can shoot him.

I'm going to guess they are terrified and excited and just yelling random cop noises.

I don't like fishing.

It's not because "eww, worms" or "eww, fish". It's two things. The big thing is, I don't want to hurt some small animal like a worm or bait fish, just so that I can hurt some other animal by dragging them into an environment where they can't breathe. Oh, but the humane thing to do is toss them back? Imagine being pulled out of an airlock into the vacuum of space, photographed, measured, and then put back in the airlock? I don't need to do all of that to some critter just for fun. Which brings me to the second thing about fishing that I don't like : It's not fun. It's boring. It's so boring. Just stand here and hope a fish eventually bites.

I had to stop playing a recent BG3 save where I was trying a character who sometimes randomly kills people.

I wonder how hard it would be to make a mod that changes the model?

I am tempted to save this comment just to see how accurate it is in ten years.

There are washing machines without anything more complex than a switch in them. If you really had a "pile of disassembled washing machines" you'd know that.
