There might be some way to do something with this.

Save a slap for the leap seconds creator.
Or, we could collectively realize time is but an illusion and transcend this silly problem.
All the waste a plant ever produces in its lifetime can be contained with ease on site.
Won’t that create a bunch of targets all over the country? Then terrorists or enemy states can use simple small bombs to make whole areas uninhabitable for the next millennium.
I don’t disagree with you, but this is unrealistic.
But…we don’t have a choice if we are to survive. Continuation with any system like our current system (i.e. exploitation of nature for economic growth) will lead to obvious ecological collapse. Why is certain ecological collapse viewed as the more realistic choice?
This is akin to a person well on their way to a heart attack saying “well, eating healthy is unrealistic, so let’s switch to diet coke and pretend that’s enough”
Sometimes I use the term “psychopathic hoarder class” when referring to this group of people.
Larry Finger, your work has made a significant positive impact on my life and I’m sure many others. Thank you.
Now can you work on a driver to allow communication between the living and the dead?
I’m still on IPv3, haven’t updated yet.
That’s like half of the training I got to get my A+ certificate to work on personal computers.
Pretty sure it kinda does, maybe not the same meal but within a day or so.
Your body doesn’t have a way to store incomplete proteins for later construction when the missing essential aminos arrive. Any aminos from proteins that can’t be used to build needed proteins will be turned into glucose, and if you don’t need the glucose turned into fat for energy storage.
Think of proteins like long words you have to spell by eating the right letters. If you don’t have the letters to spell a word it can’t be spelled. Your body has the ability to create some letters but some must be eaten. If you don’t eat the needed letters your body will make do by eating itself (normal autophagy), which is fine on occasion for periods, but your body needs complete proteins.
Adding: You’re right about a varied diet being easy enough for most to get the aminos they need. Many vegan/vegetarian dishes are oriented around complete proteins, eat these common dishes, the thinking about complete proteins was done for you long ago.
That doesn’t mean those methods or some form of them can’t work, you just assume this is true because you’ve been given that message by those who need us to believe this for them to maintain power.
And let’s say no non-state method can possibly work at our scale, is that to essentially throw up our hands and say, “well, since intelligently shrinking our population and economy to a size that can be sustainably managed and is appropriate sized for our planet (i.e. “degrowth”) is unspeakable, and other methods we sorta tried for a bit don’t seem to work, we’ll just go ahead and continue with this known broken method until it all collapses from overexploitation” ??
Wouldn’t it make more sense to say “I want human society to exist in 100 years and for that to happen, we need to learn to live within the bounds of our planet”?
I’m all for new ideas so long as they’re old ideas.
Because no viable alternatives have been shown to work.
Capitalism has proven it definitely doesn’t work, we’re careening toward ecological collapse.
Humans existed without state, and therefore with (likely multiple coexisting) informal economic systems) for hundreds of thousands of years, I’d say that has been show to work.
I was shocked about this, I’d assumed it was well trained trauma doctors in the ambulance with you at your most critical moment.
Nate is amazing, he and some of his guests are exactly who I learned this from.
I never understand this line of thought. The amounts of energy we use is never ever going to go down. It just isn’t.
If we don’t develop practical nuclear fusion before our fossil inheritance effectively runs out we sure will. It will also go down following ecological collapse caused by using all that energy. Infinite energy doesn’t make up for a collapsed ecosystem.
Biden: This isn’t a genocide, so sure
Disclaimer: Voting Biden because Trump will expand the genocide to vulnerable groups here and usher in christian nationalism.
Singapore is more fucked up than aspirational if you ask me. It might look nice but it’s a capitalist place that totally misses the spirit of solarpunk.
