Buying used is definitely a good option for well-built furniture. (Here you can get a lot of things for free as well if you're willing to arrange transport.)

Mhm.. I think you overestimate the level of this operation. Imagine a hackspace trying to get things aircraft-certified. (It's a university, which just means we have more expensive things. There is no dedicated person for this, most of

Yes please! Finding the problem and fixing it is voodoo (including magical copper tape and metal charms for the wires..), any help is extremely welcome and can save so much money. (Even better if it improves upon the usual EMV divining rod.

I think you need to meet those in the right state of mind and circumstances. Some of them go deep into the human condition and our innermost beings, and if you haven't been close to that specific part you might not get it. Then they ar

Yes, it works, but there is a limit for how much warming it can migitate (if you make the particles larger/more they will just coagulate and precipitate faster), and the limit seems to be ~ -2 W/m^2. (It is important to not only c

The only real option is carbon capture. Everything else has the wonkiest side effects in the models, eg concerning atmosphere/ocean circulation, which heavily affects local and regional weather patterns, and the cooling is still not su

Side note: There is a quite recent amendment to the Montreal treaty, the Kigali amendment (2016), which phased out the CFC replacements with strong greenhouse effects in favour of replacements without them. This alone will save us ~0.3° war

We cannot damage the Earth enough for it to be a worse option than space habitats. We simply can't, even if we bomb all of the surface to oblivion, triple the amount of CO2 or even add more toxic gases.

Same here. The landline gets a few scam callers and surveys a year though, always real people.

They sometimes call me to shift appointments. Either something came up for the doctor and they're moving the appointments away, or someone needs a longer very urgent procedure just before my appointment and I'm just going to be th

I haven't tried, but from what I've gathered you can either run it yourself on eg a raspberry pie or use their infrastructure instead if you don't want the hassle and expense. I have the same concerns. Here's another pro

Experience.. if we're not talking about a leisurely walk or light garden work, there is always some pain in exercise. (These endorphins people talk about.. how long do you have to run for? Maybe if one gets more fit? ) There is joy in

Exercise usually hurts more that lying around, even when you're not depressed. So yes, I think it can harm.

I have to say, in hindsight I am pretty annoyed with the general teaching methods. Rules and general movements were explained and shown to you once, and then you were left to your own devices only to be judged later on what you learned. (Le

While blood might be good for compost that also sounds like a prime method to distribute germs and viruses. Seems dangerous.

Y'know, I thought so too until I saw the system in Suriname. Women are expected to work around the clock there, carry heavy things and do all the cooking. This system means that you actually don't have to work while possibly in pa

Do you want to do something about it? Then a good way to proceed would probably to study why we are all freaking out. The basics for why too much CO2 is a problem are actually quite simple and might be accessible to you experimentally if yo

Reading the latest ozone assessment report [0] I was reminded again how impressive that reaction really was. Between deciding this really is a problem in 1985 (Vienna Convention) and banning the problematic substances (Montreal Protocol)

The examples definitely improved a lot in the last year. When I first looked at it there were very few and some of them were logos, not maps. But again, it is not very obvious that the gallery includes sample code, and that you have to clic

That sounds like you'd need a portable garden. (Whether that still works is another question.) I've seen people talk about car plants, which would be a similar idea. (The feasibility depends a lot on climate of course.) And then o

Apart from the pajamas, you could easily just buy extras of those things and keep them together for travelling. It's so much easier just to grab a set and check afterwards what needs to be replaced or refilled.

For better glue I recommend gummy bears as raw material. Starch-based ones are more brittle. (Disclaimer: I am probably not the best gluemaker.)
