"Most Americans cite a lack of economic opportunity (93%), poverty (92%), and violent crime (91%) as motivating factors for why immigrants leave their country, while just two-thirds cite the impacts of climate change." hmm. Interesting. Ah yes,

I loving hate cars. I hate car noise. I hate being unable to take a walk with someone and have a conversation because the car noise is so loving imposing. I walk with my husband to get groceries and we take a longer route to the store just so we can actually chat while we walk because if we take the direct route its so loving loud I feel like im going insane.

I'm starting to figure out how to stockpile spices/tea/coffee, but in ways and with ingredients I'll also go through. I figure supply chain stuff for online folks like us gives us a little bit of a warning, but at the same time, while it's probably a few years off before things get really fun, there's no telling how long. I am curious about long term tea/coffee storing. Green beans in zip locks in the freezer? Instant coffee in the freezer? What about tea? I'm curious.

I've been buying lavazza and costco tinned coffee because it seems like its probably the best tasting and most shelf stable. The plus side is lavazza oro is good af. Costco isnt as good but not terrible.

im stockpiling instant coffee stored in a big plastic tub in the closet, I figure the packaging it comes in is probably good enough to keep it drinkable for a few years and i'm slowly using/replacing it over time anyway

I considered trying to grow yaupon holly to have a sustainable caffeine source but I live too far north for that to be viable

So for tea it really depends what kind you're into. If you only love green tea you're kind of hosed, but if you get into sheng pu'erh long-term storage is (unless you gently caress it up badly) going to maintain or increase use value. There's a lot to be said about ideal storage conditions but it's generally about 70-85 degrees, 60-70% humidity, regular air circulation and the obvious avoid direct sunlight etc. etc. If you store it in dry conditions cooler than that it's generally not going to go bad, it just won't continue developing flavors so you can be pretty lazy about just leaving it inside a mylar or ziploc bad in a cupboard in a lot of places (for now). Oolongs/reds/etc. tend to fall in between these extremes where they're going to lose some flavor over time, but the more heavily oxidized they are the longer they'll keep well.

So in short, 1. get really into shengs and 2. move to a really high mountain and start cultivating your own trees now. Unfortunately for me I'm in the northeast now and there are no mountains tall enough out here.

e: do still open bags up to give it some fresh air now and then if you're doing bagged cupboard storage.

i'd love to take transit to work but it would take my commute from <15m to 1h15m with two transfers. that's not counting wait times, delays, etc - that's from bus stop to stop to stop to stop

transit (or lack of) is a collective action problem so i don't blame individuals for doing the one small thing they can do by buying an electric car

total cost of ownership for my elantra has been like ~350/mo maintenance/insurance/fuel and $200/mo for the car (assuming i get 11 years out of it, we're on year 9 now) and taking an uber just to commute would cost me 1200/mo

the one thing I don't know how to calculate wrt total car cost is future maintenance, and the price of whatever the next car is, as well as how much value (if any) your car will have when you no longer use it

How defensive someone gets about eating meat in the 21st century is a good tell for how politically sincere someone is in general IMO. It's the most apparent way capital extracts commodities from living things regardless of suffering and waste and one of the "simplest" luxuries of everyday life in the imperial core. It's indefensible on both moral and practical grounds in a really straightforward way, which is why condemning it provokes such a strong reaction in its apologists. You can tell most of the Western left's deal amounts to guilt-free consumption just by addressing this topic frankly, you will be called everything from a Nazi, a colonialist, to an ultra once the dogpile really gets going.

Too much to ask of a libertarian journospook and Iraq war supporter like Glenn to elaborate on that of course.

Geez, how can this guy be so irresponsible to the environment by having so many wasteful pets polluting the environment? 20.8 million dogs and cats consuming just one tin or unrecyclable plastic package of pet food per day results in 7.6 billion containers being manufactured each year, just in the UK. Add to this, another 3.6 billion plastic bags for picking up the estimated 1.2 million tons of dog-poop and then there is the issue of disposing of 200 thousand tons of cat waste.

Not to mention that the actual high-carbon, high-cruelty fish, chicken and meat that goes into the tins and packets that eventually produces the poop. The meat content of dog and cat diets, at about 33 per cent, is significantly higher than that of the average American human diet, at about 19 per cent.

Is that true? I had no idea- I figured pet ownership was, at worst, climate neutral. So pet ownership is genuinely one of the things causing meaningful damage to the environment?
