  Interesting, though that quote seems like it’s misrepresenting the industrial situation by not calculating what the footprint of a similar diet would be. I’d bet that if you ignored the meats, grains, dairy, sweeteners, and soy, you’d find costs to be much closer to equivalent (or industrial less expensive).

  I’m unsure using WWII time period as a reference is a good one, as everyone was relatively malnourished at that time and 40% of vegetable intake is nice but not even the primary source still. Most jobs at that time supported 3+ other people and were less hours, if I (and everyone else around me) are working 40+ hours a week, how do I have time and energy to tend a garden? Averaging an hour a day seems nice but that comes to ~365hrs per year, which is another 10 weeks of work in my year.

  I am intrigued and will look more into it, but ltimately, that article is an ad for a book. It may have more great info in it, but it’s still an ad for a book (determined by the lack of sourcing from anywhere else).

  How many pounds of food are you producing a year with this setup? Is it your primary food source the garden, ie over 50% of your food mass intake? Are your nutrition levels good?

  When it comes to food deserts and community gardens, especially in the US, are a few concerns I see: malicious zoning by the state/no space to do a 35×40 (or more) for each person within a traversable area (most live in multifamily housing with no land access), people who live in food deserts are often poor and work 2+ jobs, and, the biggest limitation, a lack of community in these spaces.

  Yep, imagine if you had an internal magnetic compass for the world and then some idiot with ultra magnets flipped a switch to turn them on when you tried to head home each night.

  How many can that sustain per acre?

  In Developer options you can limit background processes, deep sleep, and other power usage settings, which were the main ones I was thinking of.

  I’m not sure what the default retroid settings are, but android could be tweaked to at least have a better battery life than that I’d wager. Have you dug through the settings? I have old phones that last nearly a week on android if left with the screen off, no tweaking (galaxy s7)

  I didn’t intend to and edited my message for clarity. Thank you for pointing that out.

  Imagine being able to shit post while also not spreading USA propaganda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨please bro just one more try bro⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Asking if someone has read any academic sources on a subject is different than demanding only academic sources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨please bro just one more try bro⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine wanting people to be educated on a subject before espousing an opinion on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨please bro just one more try bro⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No one is limiting anyone to academic sources, please don’t try to spin what’s said. It makes you worse at discussion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨please bro just one more try bro⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What academic sources have you read about the internal functions of the USSR?

  There was touch-to-engage with the gyros tied to the touchpads, I still use it today. Unless I’m not understanding what that means.

  A red flag is an indicator that something is wrong. It’s not a deal breaker, though red flags can also be those. These are different concepts with some overlap. A red flag in this case would be the developer stating they don’t care about non-windows systems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MOUSE: P.I. For Hire releases on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that calling it a redflag is a little out there when you buy a mac. Who buys a mac expecting to game on it? That’s like complaining about games on steam not working on Linux in 2012.

  Hmm okay cool, I have been pretty on the fence about just buying a Nano with the upgraded storage and roxbox preinstalled, but this looks solid too. Everything work on it with RB?

  I agree with most of this, save for

  conventionally physically attractive women physically attractive, that this is not a fetish

  it definitely is a fetish, just one of the most socially accepted ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A communist and an anarchist walk into a bar..⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So this came after the Bolshevik-Makhnovist conflict, where “After Nykyfor Hryhoriv mutinied against the Bolsheviks, tensions between the two factions culminated with the Makhnovists being declared outlaws and Makhno resigning his command within the Red Army.” So they were consistently breaking agreements they’d made, refused to surrender and reintegrate with the Red Army to fight the greater Polish-Soviet war, and were thus declared outlaws. Not a great look imo.

  Thanks for the link, I’ll read this later.
