Single digit thousands of solar panels might reduce emissions more in your case, but it certainly wouldn't in mine (grid here has very low gCO2/kWh)

Yup, if you want to do it at home, make it a little bit mushier. I don't like it, but it is very doable. Commercially they may use a binder, I don't know, I just wanted to make sure people knew they're available!

The amylopectin details may be right, but the rest is wrong. Conbini's sell brown rice onigiri (look for 玄米), it's just usually a very limited selection. They don't fall apart, and you eat them the same as normal onigiri.

Thanks for the advice - hopefully it helps others. For me, it happens infrequently enough that I am unlikely to remember anything specific for the situation. I never select multiple tabs otherwise.

This is the answer. Apollo missions were essentially 6 stages (3 to orbit then TLI, lunar descent stage, lunar ascent stage, CSM). Maybe 7 if you count dropping the service module for reentry. The whole concept of starship only works if the
