Ok, let’s use grain finished beef as an example. The carbon is still from a renewable source, it’ll be recaptured when the grain regrows

I haven’t yet been convinced that giving up meat can help. Specifically, I haven’t seen the question of what happens to the grazing land.

If it is left to burn, the carbon it contains cycles grass ➡️ fire ➡️ CO2, particles ➡️ grass, etc

If it’s left to rot it’s grass ➡️ methane, CO2 ➡️ grass

If it is rewilded the carbon cycles grass ➡️ meat, methane ➡️ predators, etc

If left as it is it’s the same, but with us in place of the predators.

I really feel like there is no way of preventing the carbon emissions of grasslands, but at least if they’re making meat for us we can work on engineering a way out of the methane release, and people are working on that

And at worst it’s not fossil carbon, it’s renewable, the carbon emitted is captured again when the grass regrows

There’s carbon in the farm equipment, but that’s the same in all farming

The convex ones are concave on the other side. The straight piece is generally called “the straight piece”

It’s not for me, though I don’t live in America

There are a few ways to have bad eyesight

• Short sighted, can only focus close up
• Long sighted, cannot focus close up
• Poor acuity, cannot see the detail others can see
• Colour blindness

It looks like most of the short sightedness is caused by lifestyle since it is much more prevalent in places where children spend a lot of time indoors

The others would have affected our ancestors as much as us

You’re nostrils do that as you sleep to keep the one closest to the bed/ground closed. Since people roll from side to side over the course of a night your nostrils swap which one’s closed

We have never successfully done that. Nestle is still out there doing their stuff

The poor tropics are especially screwed. Also all the cities on the coast

And there’s optimism in climate change, zeroing our carbon burn is straight forward. It wouldn’t take a decade if we could agree on the sane path

But we have pushed so much CO2 into the air, and so much heat into the sea we need to do better than zero. I’m pretty pessimistic

The most likely way I can see the fall of America is through a breakup of the federation. If you’re in a bad state it could be bad

We haven’t had a world war since WW2. We haven’t got two likely sides now. China owns too much of the West, Russia is no longer credible

Nuclear war is no closer now than it was during the cold war. Everything then was on a hair trigger. Now it’ll just take a psychopath in charge, and no one willing to ignore the order in the command structure

Vegan restaurants are widely known to be super cheap

It’s not all that bad. I’m sure there are as many youth keen to learn computers and they have easy access to all the tools they need to develop knowledge and skill

It’s just as we have become more knowledgeable, more capable, the difference between us and the normal people seems incredible.

But put us in an area needing different specialist knowledge and we’ll struggle like they do with computer technical stuff

We speak jargon. They don’t know the words, or if they do they use them wrong.

Also it sucks for us in IT work; when you are in an agile team and the manager two levels up doesn’t understand agile they do things like break up high performing teams (mine had been a team for four years - from the day the organisation decided to test agile) to share the people around so they can teach the others how to be high performing

Had they read anything about agile, they would know that longevity of a team is a good predictor for performances — but they wouldn’t read about agile, it’s an IT technical thing

For a while it seemed like that minority owned the term “feminism”

The men who are worried about being hunted for sport have been told too many times that that’s what should happen to them

But you can only use them on new wounds. If one fails, for example on a finger abrasion injury (the only place I have ever had those fail) you need to replace it with a different type of dressing.

They do stick better than any of the alternatives I have tried and that provide the best healing environment

Keyboards. Near enough is good enough, right?
