Was learning about the requirements it be a baker in Germany - something like 3 years of school to work at a bakery, 6 years to own one. Crazy.

Sounds like an easy bread pudding :)

I think the better solution is to simply set up a filter for the word “Unsubscribe”.

My process:

1. Cut in half
2. Remove core
3. Cut in quarters
4. Peel.

Money. Donate. There isn’t a near term world where money won’t matter in giving you a voice, so you should use it.

That’s also pretty true for people, unfortunately. People are deeply incapable of differentiating fact from fiction.

Things that have been improving:

• Global poverty rate (going down)
• Global average lifespan (going up)
• Global literacy rate (going up)
• Global internet access (going up)
• Global infant mortality and maternal mortality (going down)

The reality is, most of the world by many metrics is getting better over time. There are things that threaten this (climate change and increasing authorititarianism) and it has slowed, but overall we are still generally positive trajectory wise. In fact, I would say that in most metrics that matter, we are improving.

73% of Americans are overweight. They’ll be just fine if they eat out less.

I mean, you can say the same about every form of entertainment. Music? Majority is crap. Movies? Crap. Sports? Crap. Books? Crap. Video games? Crap.

There are plenty of studies displaying improved cardiovascular health in those who drink 1-4 cups of coffee a day.. Generally, cardiovascular risks of caffeine from coffee are not important for the average person’s health decisions.

In addition, there is a good argument for caffeine prior to exercise - it improves performance and therefore results and therefore health outcomes.

Also tea has caffeine as well (technically dark chocolate too, but less than tea so not really a concern).

And again, the solution to sleep issues are to not have caffeine (tea, coffee, or otherwise) more than a few hours after you wake up.

Withdrawal symptoms are not a major concern - they are temporary at best.

Edit: there are plenty of sources of polyphenols - but frankly the average American does not get nearly enough generally. If you have a typical American diet, I would not recommend quitting coffee as a health measure unless you have already drastically increased consumption of polyphenols generally.

Coffee also is high in polyphenols - the benefits almost certainly outweigh the drawbacks. Just don’t drink coffee after the morning.

Welder isn’t too crazy of a tool. It’s usually more like, get your 3d printer AND your welder AND your CNC AND your drill press AND your table saw plus a million other hyper specific gadgets.

If you mean “point and click” level of proficiency, sure.

Meh, maybe 10% of a single generation at most know how to use computers. Technically savvy millenials vastly overestimate how technically savvy other millenials are.

They are astronomical because we build too large. That accounts for the vast majority of home ownership cost increases. The average home size is up 230%+ from the 70s, or 300% per person.

This makes up the vast majority of the difference in prices seen since that time.

Other direct causes are that we add two or three car garages (30k+) and increased home construction standards ( which add cost up front but often save money long term).

When looking at a price per area, the price is almost static (after accounting for inflation).

Yeah there is far more game theory than the other post implies. Supporting companies in producing EVs and are driving EV technology in a healthy way, and considering down pressure effects for the secondhand market are far more important than your individual emissions over a short period of time.

Also, not fully convinced by the rule of thumb. It works well when considering the sustainability of static things, but I think it falls apart when considering things that have active impact like cars.

Here is an article where Reuters found that you only need to drive 13500 miles before an EV is cleaner than an ICE in the US. At a certain point, it is better to push ICE cars into retirement and build EVs.

It’s the same thing with recycling, companies trying to sell the idea that climate change is a personal failing of every single person even though said companies are responsible for like 90% of carbon emissions.

God I wish this talking point would die.

1. Companies emit on the basis of your consumption. This is not arbitrary, emit out of no where.
2. Individuals being unwilling to tolerate even minor inconveniences or adjustments to their lifestyle makes systemic change impossible. Government and industry won’t change until collective individuals are willing to deal with it.
3. Meat consumption, housing size, housing location, voting patterns, vehicle choice and use, are all individually driven decisions.

Not the Southeast - Southwest-west. Honestly mostly California.

I would say more California than Tex - Tex Mex has heavier emphasis on fried foods. The company is headquartered in California. It looks like the owner got most of the inspiration in San Francisco, and then moved to Colorado.
