raw oil is very toxic, better to leave it where it's already contained. refined oil has a TTL or expiration date.

A product could already have the engineering bits in place but without a landing page calling out that very feature or usecase, sending traffic to a mismatched page is a diservice. People click an ad to learn more, if they are presented wit

Yes you can properly compost human manure, to make it safe... But the process is more complicated and involves processes which cannot be skipped. I would rather do less work and be safer. This means I simply don't use human manure on m

Great question! It's not safe to grow veggies and grains with human manures. For safety, the human manure should be used as an input feedstock for growing and expanding forest. Then we use the forest's outputs as feed stock for gr

The traditional vegetable garden is slightly more human work than a lawn, but the perennial food garden is significantly less work than a lawn (for example apple trees with mulch, requires only harvest in the fall and pruning during winter)

Dandelions are food. Try picking all the yellow flowers and steep them for 10-20 minutes in a French press. This is the easiest way to prevent them from multiplying while not wasting them. Dandelions are pioneer species, they out complete g

You should at least brew the dandilion flowers into a tea using a French press. Super tasty and very nutritional. Upvoted to try to fix the balance of downvotes.

I'm curious how all the permaculture farms and homesteads are faring. Are these alternative landscapes surviving or maybe thriving dispite the droughts and fires? Could the country promote or even mandate permaculture style landworks?

I think Google is the original inventor of link previews. It used to have them in the SERP pages if you clicked the magnifying glass. I think it was called "instant previews". I actually created and launched an API on hacker news

You smell humidified latex and vinyl. You see a canopy flowing as-far-as-your-eye-can-see over a vast red desert oasis. The oasis sprawls out to form lakes, ponds, and streams and slowly terraforms the landscape. An autmosphere grows using

The best boom boxen on the market right now is sold by tool manufacturers. Image search Hitachi Radio or DeWalt Radio. My plumber had the DeWalt and it boomed. Ran off the same chargeable batteries as his drill, and other tools.
