The electric fences are obviously temporary so not nearly as labor intensive as a permanent electric setup. A single person can run a good length of fencing by themselves if the fence line path is semi cleared. It’s like staking in a 2.5’ t

Sheep prefer grasses, goats will eats all kinds of shubs/brush and do a much better job of removing thick fire fuels to a higher heigh as they will also climb. Sheep tend to eat at ground level.

They should increase profitability on the margin of the good, not try to create a perpetual revenue stream out of each customer by making the entire experience invasive.

But do we really need to know breaking news, instantly? It becomes addicting; it especially was for me during the last administration. I’m completely fine finding out a few hours later about a breaking news story that doesn’t have a mate

Assuming you can afford to source those better materials. It’s a trade off, thermal quality of materials vs cost/access. We’re heading in a direction where most people will not be able to afford the best insulation and so learning from

Welp, I took your recommendation and owe you an apology. Adam’s video was eye opening. I was clearly wrong on this and I’m glad you took the time to share these sources. Thank you.

The smoke point of Extra virgin olive oil (374–405) is too close to the temp you need to fry (350-375) and EVO has a very distinct taste which is not welcomed in most fried foods. Find some recipes or chefs that recommend frying with it - y

Extra Virgin Olive oil is the one you definitely should NOT use as it does have a low smoke point. Pure olive oil has a higher smoke point and can be used, although other oils may be better.

> Many factors contribute to flooding, but a warming atmosphere caused by climate change makes extreme rainfall more likely. Do you see anything wrong with that statement? Seems pretty accurate to me...

Another explanation for lower casualties is modern communications. How did people in the past know to evacuate prior to modern meteorology and real-time communications? Had there been less warning of this event, the #s dead may well have be

My personal experience of having bamboo on my property is that it seems incredibly dense. Bamboo is a actually a grass and has root systems similar to grasses, it grows very close together. here is another resource about the carbon sequestr

Another interesting tidbit: bamboo is actually a grass, not a tree.

This article is trying to be a reality check on the struggles of an increasingly powerless lower class, and I admire the intention there. But the concluding solutions of more voting and advocacy doesn’t hit home for me when compared to the

Not sure why you assume it was a checkmate at all, could have been a purely inquisitive question. But thanks for providing your response with links, I’ve been curious about wildfires as well.

haha that last line made me chuckle because there is an older guy in my office who swears a PB and Mayo sandwich is the shit. I will never try it, but he's been bragging about them for years, no joke.

What metric would make more sense here, though? I can agree that from TBs perspective, they may not factor total applicants as their base # (although that is clearly their market). However this exclusivity of only using the small percentage

So you accepted 6K onto platform, about 4k got offers, and just under 2k accepted. Roughly a 1% conversion rate for those who applied? Yikes.

That's always my thought as well. People become comfortable with the hacks/quirks of their dominant language(s) and forget about them when comparing to something exotic like CSS.

That an over generalization. The more temperate parts of southern Siberia would have a thawing that could potentially open up more agricultural space and increase Siberia's food production capacity.

One problem here though is the combo of family holiday and moving lots of objects. When you need all the mentioned cargo space, the van becomes a two-seater. A crew cab truck can move 5 adults comfortably as well as a full load in the bed

While it's unfortunate you had so many issues, I think some of them can be chalked up to the risk of being such an early adopter. EVs in 2013 vs 2021 would seem to be quite different machines.

This is an extremely exaggerated take. Again, the building codes do not upgrade on that fast of a time scale and even if a house is technically not up to code, they are grandfathered in based on the time they were built. A house that was bu

Yea but good luck running interior 2x4 furring walls for MEPs (Mechanical, electrical, plumbing) on curved wall structures like this. Would be an absolute carpentry nightmare.

I watch a lot of videos on home repair or construction topics ie “quick fix for broken PVC pipe” or “how to replace your RV water heater” and the like/dislike ratio is invaluable. The videos with high dislikes are either incomplete, in
