I've always understood "campground" to be a whole area open to camping with dozens or hundreds of campers. A campsite is where your group's claim is staked and the area you occupy including picnic tables, fires, etc--not just the tent.

I feel like your chosen examples are very disingenuous. If you're comparing data harvesting/leakage and video games to the atrocities caused by Big Military and the direction it's headed, you must be very disconnected from the real human casualty and suffering.

But to answer your point, yes. People have the autonomy to not do business with individuals and corporations that don't align with their values. It's a personal choice. You may not understand it, but if more people had convictions like this the world would likely be an entirely different place.

You are arguing against no one. The person you initially replied to explaining RRR obviously isn't talking about RRRing bowling balls specifically. They are explaining the significance of and how to interpret the common way it's taught to reduce unnecessary production and consumption.

You aren't asking for homework, but I highly recommend The Elements of Style.

They make such boring topics as grammar and composition a pleasure to read and apply. I read it multiple times in high school, and I still find myself repeating some of the rules to myself when I revise my writing.

Including rule 17:

"17. Omit needless words.

Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all sentences short, or avoid all detail and treat subjects only in outline, but that every word tell."

For others who also don't know what advanced glycation end-products are/are a bit confused by the headline:

Found in humans, they are bio markers for quite a few diseases, including diabetes (type 2 = insulin resistance).

Food sources are animal products.

Wiki says vegetarians have been shown to have more than non-vegetarians, discounting dietary reasons for high levels in humans. This study suggests otherwise.

And distance. As the distance to get from A to B increases, mpg becomes less important of a metric than total fuel consumption.

(1 mile / 60 mpg)/(2 miles / 90 mpg) = 0.75

Traveling 1 mile @ 60 mpg consumes 75% of the fuel as going 2 miles @ 90 mpg does.

Edit: *Assuming the route planning grand-OP mentioned to optimize for mpg goes significantly out of the way.

By whackamole, you mean choosing one of the same two browser extensions that have been around for 2 decades and forgetting about it?

Or one of the DNS blockers that have been pretty consistent too.

It may be a game of whackamole, but it's virtually invisible to end users of these tools.

Not to mention, the Prisma library itself is one of our biggest regrets. They support them now, but not until some version 5.* did it even support native SQL joins. Extendability is also a nightmare.

I'd think twice about falling for the great marketing around it.
