That cooler temperature has got to be compounded by the lack of cars pumping out heat as well. But I wonder how such a design would handle large snow falls. Old northern cities in Europe don't seem as compact.

Gabe Brown claims that they increased the amount of organic matter in their soil nearly 10x in two decades, and that's while discovering what worked over the years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yPjoh9YJMk

Technology is probably getting to the point where we can have better farms but less work than our grandparents needed to do. A tractor can still be used for sustainable planting and harvesting. Rotating a herd of cattle to promote soil grow

I think we just don't have a settled definition of efficiency. I've seen farmers claim that using the right rotations, edible cover crops, and grazing cattle and free-range chickens leads to more calories per acre, more diverse cr

I feel like after Y2K, we should've learned to never store two digit years again. If the format they used was actually YYYYMMDDhhmm, then it would've crashed as soon as someone tried to convert it to an int and they would've

We decided to upgrade from a terrible old coil range to induction. Since our wiring is old, it was just barely the minimum amperage for a lot of the brands, but the one brand we liked with knobs needed more power. So we're paying an el

Not Just Bikes has a recent video[0] talking about the lack of middle ground for suburbs in North America. I think a big problem is that laws as they are prevent variety. Either everything must be single family homes with huge setbacks and

One of our dogs is from farmers who specifically bought a giant working breed from across the country to sire puppies with their other giant working breed dogs. The two breeds make a good mix, and it ensures some genetic diversity. They act

Could it be that the amyloid-beta plaques are just a by-product of the same thing that is causing the damage in the first place?

The first funeral I ever attended was the older brother of one of my childhood friends who died suddenly of heart failure in his 20s. He was healthy and athletic, with no known drug habits. I've seen multiple posts about young adult he

I was reading the other day about how wolves can help reduce Lyme's carrying tick populations as well, which could be considered another positive economic impact. They of course keep deer in check, but they also keep coyotes in check w

I'm not a doctor, but from the looks of the wiki[0], it can be used for other viruses in the pox family. Also, smallpox is considered a major threat for bio-warfare, as multiple nations have it in deep storage. That's why the mili

I think this wide approach works really well with their goal of community driven development. All the hardware variety gets more people interested and more people contributing. A person who cuts their teeth on one device might be a pioneer

A number of wild legume species have edible parts. It's probably safe to say that some had been foraged by hominids prior to agriculture. Cultivation often improved the way foods affect the body by reducing anti-nutrients and toxins in

It's still introducing trapped carbon from underground back into the atmosphere. And most plants we fertilize are very quickly converted back into CO2 from being eaten by animals(including ourselves).

Doesn't carbon get sequestered on the ocean floor quite a bit? I imagine more in the ocean would mean more getting trapped in the ocean floor.

Nuclear still makes sense now. We can't just aim to have our current electricity needs be filled by renewables, we need to plan for even more electricity for vehicles and industrial processes that currently depend on fossil fuels. Not
