Flawed premise in their research. They’re saying you can only hear motorcycles within 33ft, which is too late to react anyhow. The times when I’ve intentionally revved my engine to get attention, it’s because a driver was about to merge int

One of the first thing you learn in evolutionary biology is that evolution doesn’t have intent.

Dryer lint is likely to be plastic particles rather than natural fibers, depending on the materials you’re washing. You may not want to use it indoors or to prepare coals for cooking.

I’m sorry that you can’t think of anything messy happening in bed other than eating food.

I hope theyre also studying if the biomatrix sheds any viable spores or bacteria. They’re seeding it with some strains and it’s accumulating more, and one of the seed strains is Fusarium. That caught my eye since Fusarium rot is an issue fo

You are totally correct. I can choose to get my protein all kinds of ways, including from tofu made in a factory, out of soy grown on another continent, on ground that used to be rainforest and fertilized with nitrogen produced at the cost

Your original point was that breeding animals and shooting them was incredibly depraved behavior that should make anyone with a conscience sick. I don’t agree- I think there are ways that raising animals for meat can be an ethical choice. I

> I doubt those interested in "harvesting" the corpse would ever have any incentive to care about whether the death was "without much suffering". I am. I work really hard to make sure my animals have the best death I

Adding just so it’s explicit: modern factory farming is morally abhorrent. Yes, the abuses are well-documented and disgusting, and there is no argument in my mind that can ever justify that level of treatment for any conscious being.

I do need to eat food, and all food comes from somewhere.

My feeling is not that killing is morally justified by their lack of intelligence, but that there is no purely ethical choice in food besides starving to death. Even veganism necessitates environmental destruction, exploited labor, and othe

I raise my own animals and eat them, and was also a vegetarian for a big chunk of my life. I have friends visit who have never been around livestock, never thought too hard about where their meat comes from, and don’t understand how I can k

This article and the research it describes are so confusing to me, as someone who owns livestock and has been around a variety of farm animals. Of COURSE they have friends, can hold their pee, and have complex emotions. If people spent time

The lanolin helps lubricate the shearing blades, and you need to be very careful washing wool so it doesn’t felt. Show sheep get shampooed but their fleeces are trimmed short first.

Just in case your request for a non-plastic bag was a real one, you can buy large strong paper bags for yard waste at home improvement stores. I live rurally in the us, and don’t use trash bags at all. Our trash trucks pick up the bin and d

Depression is really good at sucking the joy from normally joyful activities. If you need to remind yourself to eat, to sleep, to shower, to change clothes, then “exercise when you feel like it” translates to not exercising at all. Having a

Oddly enough the reservoirs near where I grew up in California would allow boats, but not swimming. Their excuse was to keep the water clean, as if people are dirtier than both motorboats and deer.

Blame media campaigns about the issue. I keep bees and most people I speak to about it seem to think it’s a noble defense of our insect population. I get to tell them how they should be worried about native bees and other pollinators includ

I’ve helped multiple non-technical people successfully make squarespace sites. It has the option to buy a domain and the fees are cheap. It’s totally worth the site builder and included themes.

I have a flock of sheep. The lead sheep is an ewe, and the other sheep follow her if I need to move them. She's dominant and will shove everyone out of the way if there's something she wants. They have a social ranking that change

Unfortunately that’s not how the fees work. You get charged for them whether you use them or not.

It’s confusing because “having grit” and “being gritty” are different things. If you describe a dive bar as “gritty,” you don’t mean it has perseverance and will push through difficult tasks. I’ve worked on teams that look for “grit,” and a

Something that hadn’t occurred to me until I read your comment was that a single straight train line is very easy to control. Maybe the line is partially a bet on future instability and the need for authoritarian control over the population

If women yelled and threw their weight around in the office as much as men they’d be fired immediately. Being emotional isn’t a woman thing, we just react differently to string emotion from men than women.

Logging increases fire risk in the short term, because it leaves behind a lot of slash fuels and stimulated brushy undergrowth. It is not analogous to a burn.

A different calendar doesn’t necessitate mean a different year length. We still measure a year as a complete solar cycle, and that hasn’t changed.
