This was commercial milk delivery across a country, several millions of people. "Proper rinsing" is not adequate for commercial operations. High temperature (near boiling) water at fairly high pressure, tens of thousands of bottle

"Solving" rather than solving. It's an IV drip for a terminal patient. Immigrants quickly take on the fertility characteristics of the host population, because they are subject to the same pressures and incentives. So immigra

In demographics the units of time are generations. It takes several of them for the effects of shock to be fully felt because generations overlap, about a century. Japan's TFR fell below replacement around 1973, iirc. So we should wait

Real simple stuff. Luring a cow over near a bank and then pushing her down it. Pretending there's some lush grass in the gap between trees. Nudging each other into the electric fence, or into the gatepost when going through a gate.

We mostly stopped using those "better" materials because people were poisoned because of their use. Lots more were poisoned or maimed in their production. And they were more expensive and more difficult to use and failure rates we

Do animals have friends, enemies, cliques? Yes. Do animals play practical jokes on each other? Yes. I've seen all of these in cows.

The experience of South Africa is a counterexample. It was a very large special economic zone. Now, it has cholera outbreaks.

James Scott writes at length about Germany's experience with "scientific forestry" in an early chapter of Seeing Like A State . I highly recommend the book to ... well, everyone.

Do they also sell dehydrated water? That would make multi-day hiking 100x better.

Extra-partnership paternity has risen greatly since no-fault divorce was legalised. In the West. In Japan, not so much. The children aren't better off.

Depression is not grief. It isn't primarily about emotion. It's the inability to actually do anything. At least in my own case. I feel bad because I can't do anything, not the other way around. So helpful advice is unhelpful

0.1 is reasonable, allowing for cloud cover and dust films reducing output. Maybe a bit high because often panel nameplate output exceeds capacity in other parts of the chain (inverters, grid export points). But the 438 number should be 180

Just listened to a podcast that pointed out that housing is expensive, education is expensive, childcare is expensive, cars are expensive, and money is expensive (interest rates are high). And out of pocket expenses for healthcare are going

If demand for shipping is elastic, cutting costs will mean more than proportionately more shipping happens. So will marine pollution be reduced?

The other bus ending (buses always travel in packs, as any bus commuter knows) is fertility collapse. People are just not getting around to having children. That's a big yawn too. How do you make a drama out of nothing happening?

The cynicism (in my case, and probably others') comes from remembering self-driving cars, blockchain, crypto, the millennial internet hype, and previous AI hype. Smartphones have arguably made life worse for many people too, judging by

There are six (maybe more, but I have six so far) factors in low nuptiality (marriage rates)[1] and consequently sub-replacement fertility, under the headings of religion, medicine, technology, geography, sociology, and ethics. 1. Seculari

Do you tell people in so many words, "you're going to die soon"? The obsession with emotional safety that is prevalent these days is probably killing people.

Yes, the labor surplus was caused by China's family structure. In China women married as teens and started bearing children young. In Northwest Europe, women married when they and their prospective husbands had saved enough to form a n

Yes, yes it is. If you're laid off you have more time to walk. If you're not walking that much quit your job and reduce your outgoings so that you can get a job that helps you survive past 45 without type 2 diabetes. Walking is v
