D'oh Apparently the highest theoretical ground temp is enough to boil water but this has not actually been recorded

Even if something was made from 100% cotton do they really use cotton thread these days? The pieces of cloth have to be sewn together and I'd bet it was all polyester thread.

I know at an abstract level how to put a new circuit in my box, too, but I'll never loving do it and I'll always pay whatever I need to for electrical work, because the poo poo scares the bejesus out of me and I know enough to know there's always spots in the box that will fry you even if the main breaker is off. Pretty sure the electrician we use isn't actually licensed, but, the town also uses him for electrical work on town buildings. I guess that's normal here? When I had chainsaw work to do that was too sketchy for me, I went through three people who were willing to do it before I found someone who actually had the correct insurance to not die on my homeowner's policy. I guess that's normal here.

I'm fine with turning Texas into a toxic, radioactive wasteland. In fact do it to all of America. Given how much they contribute to global emissions, it could greatly improve things if it ceased to be.

we get these diapers because all experimentation with different kinds of washable ones just led to poo poo and piss in weird places in the house, and pediatric rear end irritation. so yeah I'm a fixing failure on that, but I think my wife buys these diapers hoping they might be marginally better for the kid than the super cheap ones. neither of us is under any illusions that these don't end up as structural components of artificial islands. I'd never actually read the box before, this is some weak liberal poo poo. imagine believing literally any of this   i often think about the growing cube of diapers our two kids produced, and then try to mentally scale that by the birth rate. gross

 Just another chilly day!! better make a pile of plastic laden "paper" and "cardboard", pile sticks on it, then use petro fuel to set of the pyrolitic reaction, and then keep feeding it with a stack of wood I paid some guy to rip out of local forests with huge rear end diesel machines and gasoline chainsaws. I ought to wear my p100 when I do this. I don't. to show solidarity with the biosphere I am destroying. none of this boggles me but it does nag at me that most of my neighbors follow this same basic set of steps and just think "yep, this is fine!! just like grandma did it"

Oh, I know, we're fully there and our agreement is we only discuss this poo poo in detail one day a week, because generally our kids are happy now and life is good now and there is no need to deprive anyone of that, the ravages of time always do in one way or another (and in new and terrifying ways, soon, probably!)

It's all basically unavoidable if you want to not just completely retreat from society, too. When I give weed away I give it in glass baby food jars (yea yea, plastic in the lids) and I tell the people I give it to that I will charge them for jars if they don't bring them back (I do not charge for weed, ever). When we have retail in a couple months, every gram that gets sold is going to be inside more forever waste. It's everything. If I could just not buy poo poo that doesn't come in packaging, I would -- I love bulk foods, I case the yard sales every year looking for basically anything we might buy used now and avoid buying new later. Our basement is full of tools sourced that way, some of which work great, some of which need work, but are reparable. Also Rime, christ could I use your help. I have a Singer that belonged to my grandmother, still has the original pedal, it all works and I had it serviced before I moved up here in 2016. The problem is that the thread path is slightly bizarre and I am too dumb to figure it out. My mom used the machine for a long time and described the process as "sort of like any other singer but this one step is kind of left handed?" This isn't really the thread for it but if you think you can help me I will PM you pictures of the thing. I am getting into making stuffed animals out of salvaged fabric, and doing it by hand is turning into a chore. When I told my sister (who I adore) that I was trying to get grandma's old Singer working, she said "jesus why would you not just spend $200 on a new one that has 7 different patterns" and I had to consciously choke to not just spit back "jesus why don't you go take a big dose of SHUT THE gently caress UP". But actually I just said "gently caress that, old tools are cool and built to last".

Our basement is full of tools sourced that way, some of which work great, some of which need work, but are reparable. last serial post from me, but, despite this we live in a remote place and we either have to do Amazon for a lot of stuff, or drive a 2 hour round trip plus however long in COVID world. This made me curious how much we spent on Amazon since I started using Mint in May, 2019 -- basically a 3 year period exactly. Note that during that time we were heavily involved in fixing up our house and making it suitable for kids etc. None the less, this is loving gross, just looking at Amazon only we spent $37,906.53 on purchases which works out to $750/mo, which accounts for vastly the majority all of our consumer spending (we do some groceries etc through Amazon because some stuff is just vastly cheaper that way, which is hosed up but ultimately I am trying to go out of debt, not further in). Note that there were several multi-thousand dollar purchases of construction materials and tools focused on rennovating parts of our property, but that's still just loving gross, $750 was my biweekly paycheck back in 2005. I shudder to think how many plasticky Amazon boxes and "disposable" packaging resulted from that 37k. I bet it makes our diaper footprint tiny. I better write Chevron and tell them my personal carbon footprint sucks, maybe they will send me a guide about how to use more white paint on my roof. edit: and, again, that truck that brings me those boxes drops similar stacks of boxes at every other door on the road, and maybe two of those fourteen houses gives a poo poo about any of this. And this is in loving Green Mountain state. Harold Fjord posted:I'm Ageist. If I could have another 20 years of feeling 30 years old, great, but the "extra time" comes at the end when your brain and body are breaking, gently caress that, Hunter S had the right idea about that.

All of that stuff is probably true* but they are dancing around some things that make mass produced diapers harmful to the environment to mention very specific things and portions that are more eco friendly I'd say its better than regular diapers but eh. They are still running sawmills, factories and global logistics chains to pile these things up not entirely* made* of certain* kinds* of plastics*

One thing that has been wiggling at my mind all day since we talked about plastics in clothes and poo poo yesterday: Im washing my clothes and looking at labels and a shirt someone bought me because they thought they were being really cool was a "keep the ocean blue!" and its 40% recycled plastic. It's a nice soft shirt so im not going to toss it but drat. So we know plastic is bad. its everywhere. its shedding everywhere. Re using it is a terrible idea. We're all so capitalist brains that we wont do the one thing we should which is just dump all teh fuckin plastic into some deep rear end pit mines and cover it up and put those radiation signs over it to tell people not to dig that poo poo up. No. We have to make a loving profit off of it again and just keep it flowing in the system.

Slow News Day posted:i take it you've never been in a sauna? Sauna's feel like awful death and people who like them are weird. The issue obviously is also that if everything around you is 140 degrees there's no where to escape to. If you are starting to feel faint because you sat a little too long in the sauna, you just step out into the cooler air and drink some water. You cant escape that poo poo if its everything.

And then im thinking about all my neighbors with vinyl siding. And asphalt and tar roofs. lmao. lol
