    Do not relocate them, it is sadly less humane. There are already other animals living in these areas who are barely surviving as-is, and introducing new ones potentially has the effect of killing both natives and those introduced, through competition for resources and damage to established habitat. Many will succumb to disease or environmental hazards they are not acclimated to, dying a slow wretched death.

    Adopt a shelter cat and buy quick-kill snap traps if they are causing damage or contaminating living spaces. If they are someplace where they don’t cause major damage, you could consider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ContraPest to depopulate them over a long period.











  • Choose a house with 1 extra room, courtesy of your WFH savings.

    An itemized cost paid straight by your employer will have the effect of encouraging them to waste less of your time with a commute. They might try to hire locally, might pay for moving expenses, might keep you out of rush hour traffic, might be worried about keeping you late such that now you’re driving on overtime, might actually align their concerns with the planet’s by reducing all the oil going literally up in flames to transport people around to do knowledge work in a cubicle.


  • Not HTTPS necessarily, but lots use TLS over 443. If you are sending something like login credentials to an online service, it makes sense for the servers to use what is universally available instead of reinventing the wheel. Also, some games may use a launcher that uses HTTPS if they are web-based in some fashion, or maybe the game will use it for certain kinds of API calls unrelated to actual gameplay.

    If you are playing a game that uses a dedicated server (or just isn’t a competitive game at all), then TLS usage is probably unlikely, but those games aren’t lucrative for the account boosting/currency farming that makes cheating so rampant in China anyway.

    Even signing up for some games requires you to create an account on their website first.
