How fast fashion and used clothes are adding to our environmental disaster
Shoutout to AxeMan808 for bringing this to my attention on our Chatty. I might take some my old and ill-fitting clothes to a tailor or something to get them repaired and fitted. I don't want to be a part of this problem.
Hitman 3 gets a new elusive target
Players can hunt down The Procurers in Dartmoor. You'll be tracking down and taking out Jack Roe and Robert Burk. This new addition is part of the Gluttony update as part of the Seven Deadly Sins. Read more about your targets over on the Hitman 3 site.

These are the lengths we must now go to, covering mountains in solar panels.

I'm not sure that covering the planet in solar panels is the right thing to do either. Not with current technology.
