NotJustBikes is very good at articulating the problem with suburban car culture. I knew it was that guy before I even clicked it and many of us have already watched it so unfortunately it's choir preaching on HN. I hope town planners a

Interesting table - very easy to see which fats are the worst. It's a pity they don't include animal fat in there but I guess it's all from an Indian context. Coconut seems like a good option but it can still go rancid if you

Ideally you would cook with a saturated fat like tallow, lard, coconut fat etc as they don't have a double bond to break. Monounasturated fat like (real) olive oil at least has fewer double bonds than polyunsaturated fats (seed oils).

The fruit trees in the red zone are a bit run down in my experience. Fruit trees need a lot of care to do well: pruning, fungicide, pesticide, bird netting, irrigation etc. It's interesting to see which varieties thrive on their own. P

I agree. SO is great because it doesn't try to please everyone. It's for professionals not to build your whole app for you. There seems to have been a swell in beginners learning to code perhaps due to economic motivations rather

I really want a label that says this product is safe and free of all the bad things like forever chemicals and phthalates. Think vegan or halal. Unfortunately the plastics industry loves to pedal the BPA-free meme while they are free two sw

Probably companies like Bayer and Yara. I'm aware that chemicals like glyphosate are detrimental to fungi and soil bacteria. But I don't think regenerative farming with no mineral inputs is sustainable either. As this story shows

In my limited knowledge of fertilizers the larger problem seems to be P and K which are sourced from mined minerals rather than air. It's possible to fix soil N with legumes but I don't know of a sustainable solution for PK leavin
