   Thanks for that, quite an interesting read.

   Yeah, unless the author just wanted to write in a dismissive and flippant style, it seems they didn't do much research first

   Wow cool, I've been wanting to run a more true Linux based phone. What country and carrier are you using?

   I don't like the dismissiveness towards cooking or having kitchen space, but I replaced my stove with two Instant Pots and I'm really satisfied. I don't stir fry (oil free cooking) - just rotate cooking soups, grains and bean

   I live in Hawai'i and confirm that many people cook on simple gas stoves and grill.

   It seems like the "In Soviet Russia" jokes could now be applied to California (in the sense of regulations, I'm not claiming that California abuses humm rights as much as Soviet Russia did)

   A great book with a similar perspective is Summerhill by A. S. Neil. We do Sudbury inspired home schooling. My daughter learned to read "late" by most standards (at age 9), but once she decided to it only took her a few weeks to b

    It's amazing to me to see some people rationalize away the events that happened at Tianamen, in the same way people rationalize away/deny the Holocaust. My previous comment here was flagged and removed talking about the denialists

    No matter how large the numerator (the ability), divide by zero (lack of resources) is still an error.

    I meant it as in "the freedom to do what one wants", not so much literally. And even so, Mars has probably less resources than even the (physical) Wild West did. In another comment I made the analogy that Earth is like a car in ne

    And yet somehow Mars will [support us]? To me this is like having a car in need of repair (Earth) and instead finding some abandoned junker (Mars) rusting in the forest and saying "yes, I need that one!"

    Existentially I don't understand the need to perpetuate our species.

    I think the analogy is poor, because the "New World" was abundant with resources. The new world of Mars is not, and nearly everything would need to be brought there.

    The goal of Mars to me is silly. Mars is already worse off in terms of climate than Earth. Why not work to improve what we have? The only appeal I see is "uncharted territory" / wild west

    Migration is non trivial - i.e. it is a lot of work. You're right, I'm not looking for perfection, but to just jump to something because it's marginally better than Google isn't worth it. I want the difference to be grea

    Hmm I was just the other day contemplating moving my domain and email off of Google/Gsuite nd ProtonMail was one alternative I was considering. Now I'm hesitant - what other options are there?

    > an extremely destructive/insensitive world around a developing child, as a fetus or later Are you saying i.e. an emotional and social cause? In contrast to e.g. a gene or chemical (physical) cause?

    Essentially what I'd said, so I agree! I'd like to have more awareness and study of what in the environment is causing it

    With the drastically increased prevalence (which improved or over diagnosis cannot account for) we must look for environmental triggers or factors. Gene changes simply do not happen this quickly. To be clear, I am not dismissing looking for

    The microcosm of the macrocosm - the problems on Everest reflect (not perfectly) the problems (trash, corruption, pollution, greed, etc.) everywhere on Earth, that both on Everest and elsewhere are increasing in magnitude and scope.

    Often I see comments asking what we can do to combat this, or expressing feeling hopeless. While it is not the complete solution, one direct way is by eliminating your personal consumption of animal products. Animal agriculture is a huge co

    Have you spent any time trying to learn design? I agree there is some part that is one's own artistic style, but much of design can be viewed and learned systematically - ratios, patterns, color theory, etc

    I love Dynalist and I've been using it for the past 3 (?) years or so, I just wish it had Vim controls.
