Are there no farmers selling fresh produce anywhere around? I'm so used to these drive-by honesty stores (take what you want - usually vegetables, fruit, eggs, milk, honey etc - and pay in the box) in rural areas.

The bakery will sell you half a loaf if you ask, which is what I tend to do. I never tried asking for a smaller portion, maybe it's possible.

High-frequency emissions love long thin gaps. Just grounding the parts against each other is not enough, you have to close the longer gaps, eg with copper tape with conductive glue (sold in electronics shops) and the surface below must be b

Well, who defines what a crime is? The problem starts there, I'd say.

I feel it's also something about the ease you can do things with and your deeper feelings about them. When something is easy to do well because all the supplies are easy to reach, in good order and condition (the joy of a new sponge fo

I'm thinking about the non-visible wavelength ranges. Changing the IR properties might be very helpful as well.

If you have cool nights and your heatwaves don't last too long large thermal mass is also very good and can be enough.

Can't you just call the restaurants themselves? Or did they stop their own deliveries?

There is a ready supply of bicycles with dynamos around here. If you lift the back wheel off the ground and pedal hard you can get at least some energy. The old ones are very basic too. With more time and need one can probably rig a small s

I have to say, the US is not really the place I'd want to be during a natural disaster. Japan seems to handle these things so much better, for example.

This close interconnection of countries is one of the main points and goals of the EU. We should always remember why it was made, coming out of two horrible wars and after hundreds of years of smaller wars - not (only) to make life a little

How great would it be to have a roof of solar cells above the city's bike paths. No problems with precipitation or sun and less maintenance.

Experience with many governments shows that they often just put these bills into a drawer and pull it back out at the next opportunity. I feel we have to protest the same things every few years here, in a democratic state where we are free

At least peak air pollution seems to have been passed, so it'll only get better from here (it's still a long way down though). The situation at the moment is a bit difficult in that reducing some of the emissions will actually res

I'd argue the largest factor was the accident at Chernobyl with a very real risk of contamination. We haven't found a site for final storage yet either.

I would argue that we do not yet have a true way of offsetting carbon emissions. Planting trees (that take decades to grow might or might not release the carbon again soon after) or helping other people emit less does not render your emissi

It might be better, true (apart from the thermal limit thing in the article, that's a hard limit). But our civilization is set up for the climate of the last few hundreds of years, reflected in our distribution of cities and infrastruc

We can always get more and longer heatwaves and higher sea levels. It might be more than normal now, but if we don't stop it's only going to get worse. If we stop now and find a way to get the carbon out of the atmosphere fast eno

Frozen vegetables and fruit can work pretty well too. Some will have a different texture after thawing (eg berries) and cannot be used for everything but in cooking it's almost the same as fresh. How is the frozen food situation in the
