    Reminds me about what they used to say about Al Gore on Fox “News”. They said he takes private jets. It’s a bad faith argument because those people then go on to deny climate change. Also he’s a former vice president, I’m sure security reasons are part of that decision. Also if those private jets allow him to be more productive in fighting climate change the net benefit of him using it may exceed the additional carbon generated by the jets.

      Greta actually follows this priciple pretty well and does not fly unless absolutely necessary. In this case she is taking a boat which is one of the most efficient ways of transporting goods such as humanitarian aid.

      The first name “Al” has been ruined, my first thought was “they’re making AI gore?”.

        I wish fonts made the difference between uppercase i and lowercase L as clear as possible. I don’t understand why most computer fonts don’t put lines above and below the uppercase i like I think everyone is taught in school to do.

          Those lines are called serifs, and that’s where the term “sans serif” for different typefaces comes from (“sans” is French for “without.”) That Wikipedia page mentions claims that sans serif is more legible online, but I have not looked into the sources and don’t know enough about webpage design to make any claims about that myself.

          If adding serifs to the I is bad, I think a good alternative is adding a tail to the l (like a t without the bar). Some fonts do this and I’m a huge fan.
