if we feed everybody a vegetarian diet until rendering age and use fuel from their rendered flesh to render yet more flesh, we may be able to create a fully functional net-negative atmospheric capture carbon sequestration scheme, as long as the excess rendered flesh gets stored in the national human fuel strategic reserve and not immediately burned to help liquify tar sands

I was watching Tom Wessels New England Forests lectures on youtube regarding forest ecology, which are all really interesting and would recommend. The algo then suggested another discussion he joined with Michael Dowd and his "Post Doom" series. I suppose it's just preaching to the choir here but thought it was interesting nonetheless and warranted a post. Post Doom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTGQNH3IoMk

The goal in mind over the next 10 years is to transform a 40 acre heavily logged black ash forest plot in the UP into a food forest capable of taking care of myself and as many people as I can.

 re: significant other chat -- today my wife came home from shopping and I noticed she'd gotten extra dark coffee instead of the dark we usually get. I didn't comment, but she said they had been out of dark and she decided to just get it to make sure we have some on hand, and I said "yes, please buy coffee. I think it's something we should be enjoying as much as we can right now, because I don't expect it to exist during our  retirement except maybe as a once a month $30-a-cup thing". This was reflexive and I almost regretted saying it, but she replied "well, yea, that was part of my thinking to. I don't know about 'doomer' or 'prepper', I didn't know those words until the last 10 years or so, but I remember being a little kid and thinking about what life would be like if I had to make do without any of the things I count on. This included limbs, I remember being 5 or 6 and thinking about if I lost an arm or leg".Fuckin hell, I thought I was goddamn immortal until I was like 18 and 800ug of LSD showed me otherwise. Dunno how I ended up with this woman but at least some things have worked out okay for the moment in this hellscape of ours.

Loddfafnir posted:This is great, thanks! This is basically a stripped-down, purpose-built version of the engineering exercise called Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Read up on FMEA and you'll get additional tools to apply. Be warned FMEA is a very highly developed, extremely tedious process that everyone hates, but done right it helps you do things like build space shuttles that only blow up sometimes. If you only take away some high level concepts like Risk = Likelihood * Severity and apply them systematically to a situation then you're doing just fine. That document does a good job of translating the concepts likelihood and severity into relevant metrics (how soon will it occur, how long will the crisis last). Understanding FMEA will give you additional tools for contextualizing the info from that document, like recognizing that how soon is just one component of likelihood and how long is only one component of severity. From there you can think about particular ways in which things might go sideways and identify mitigation steps. Look for ways of reducing the likelihood of a crisis situation, or reducing the severity of its outcomes. Another category that isn't discussed here is detection, and some mitigation steps involve identifying how easy it is to tell if a crisis/failure is coming, how far in advance that information is available and what actions are possible in the time before it arrives. You can then design mitigation strategies that involve monitoring specific warning signs and executing preexisting plans when your criteria are met. RIme's document is an excellent first step. Go through that process in full before worrying too much about adding detail.

i can definitely write with my left hand somewhat decently because omg what if i break my right hand and need to write something? or worse? what if i just lose my right hand? then i'd have to start from scratch besides, my right arm would be much more useful if i had a chainsaw or a shotgun on it in the apocalyptic wasteland when i'm fighting someone to death over coffee beans, right?

I just got back from Kathmandu. In the middle of this pandemic and everything going wrong. Papayas and Bananas are growing wonderfully in the valley and everyone is happy. Except that it should be impossible with the climate in Kathmandu and the fact that its supposed to be winter season where the weather is supposed to be dry. There is a huge supply issue with wood. The wood needed for cremation due to covid has outstripped the supply of fire wood and now people are buying construction wood for the pyres. The construction needs for reconstruction from the earthquake is still there so its a huge crunch. There are no supplies for hospitals in distribution. Everything has been hoarded and needs to be bought by individuals. I had to go to the black market to buy stents, tubes, fresh operating scalpels that was needed for my grandmothers operation. We also did the operation blind since the options were to let her be in sever pain till she dies, or to reduce the pain by doing a blind operation without a biopsy/PET scan. Last thing i did before leaving was try to fill my grandmothers larder with dry goods, but there was no rice or lentils in the market. On the other hand thanks to Chinese aid, Nepal now produces more hydro power than it needs even during the dry winter months. So i guess i don't have to worry about cooking gas since i bought her a induction stove top. There are no tourists so the Airport is one of the most apocalyptic sights. Its packed to the brim with departures. Specifically migrant workers, who go through a completely different immigration and customs area in the airport. But because the airport was built mainly to serve tourists, huge swaths of it is just empty. While a far corner of the airport has young men with lanyards and id sheets taped to their bags/shirts like cattle just winding allover the place.  I was shopping for spices and fruit for my grandmother in the old Durbar area where she used to shop, and i just broke. Why bother rebuilding these, why bother manning your storefront day after day when there is no tourists, when half the products you used to sell can no longer be found, and the fields and villages that used to grow them are housing developments that are one bad monsoon away from being washed off. Either way, anyone have some good music to go along with the weird melancholia that's permeating everything these days? There is always the Bo Burnham classic That Funny Feeling, or God Speed. Here are some Nepali songs that do me in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj6r5bE_NVI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr_TLT_E7lg And something english https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYcp1bUb4lU
