Never sell proven chemistry or physics short. Water transforming to a vapor is awesome. Maybe we could harness the energy of water transforming to a solid too.

Don’t sell steam power short or water for drinking.

Boomer here. Excellent point. I was mostly a lone voice at work. Then again those I worked with never bothered to be the least bit informed. I also worked with much younger folks that were not any more informed. In fact, most all the people in our rural area are also young and grossly misinformed and they love it.

People need to understand that gardening is a huge amount of labor and time spent - it’s not economical compared to working a job and buying what you need.
It depends on how you do it. Read Masanobu Fukuoka’s, “One-Straw Revolution”. I don’t plow, til or do much weeding. I don’t use machinery to garden, just a round point shovel, hoe and a five tine fork to spread mulch. I save seeds that grow well, produce and are tasty. I don’t spend a lot of time working in my garden and I don’t have hardly any weeds. It’s all about the technique you use. Conventional gardening can be very expensive and labor intensive.

I would go with parsnips as an alternate survival crop to sunchokes. I grow both but only use parsnip. They are aggressive re-seeders and produce huge roots.
You can find tons of parsnips growing wild along road in my area. Which makes foraging a very attractive option. - Comment on That's how the world works. 2 weeks ago:
Potatoes can be grown sort of as a perennial. I leave potatoes, carrots and parsnips in the ground to be dug when I need them. They stay much fresher that way. You have to mark the rows and mulch the potatoes so they don’t freeze and become mushy, especially if there isn’t snow cover. I have been doing this for several years. These are also high calorie foods.

- Comment on Littering 🚯 1 month ago:
I mentioned above that varmints are often shot with lead bullets and left in the field, however fishermen use lead sinkers that fish and ducks ingest then eagles eat them. Eagles are extremely sensitive to lead poisoning and other poisons like DDT. There is a push to change that with alternative less toxic materials.

Birdshot is only banned for migratory bird hunting. Many landowners shoot woodchucks with rifles because they dig holes that livestock step in and break their legs, also the holes cause problems with equipment - they most often use lead bullets and leave the carcasses for the wildlife to dispose of. Some have switched to green ammunition but few have. We need to raise awareness for the need to switch to non-toxic ammunition. Maybe a bill that subsidies green ammunition with a small tax on lead ammunition could help.
- Comment on Top 10% of Americans Have Double Wealth of The Bottom 90% 1 month ago:
a net worth of $2,000,000 would provide a retiree a mostly-safe withdrawal rate (4% or $80,000) of around the median income of ~$84,000.
If inflation and dollar devaluation eats away faster than investment growth they may find themselves just scraping by.

His name wasAlex Jeffrey Pretti, a VA ICU nurse. Pretti was a U.S. citizen, born in Illinois. Like Good, court records showed he had no criminal record and his family said he had never had any interactions with law enforcement. His killing was a blood red line that was crossed.
