Shame Boy posted:It's kinda a different beast too, because the CO2 forests release was captured from the atmosphere fairly recently and has been a normal part of the carbon cycle this whole time, whereas the CO2 we release has been locked underground for hundreds of millions of years. Okay, what if we replaced that old carbon with new carbon? Instead of burning the forests we cut them down and stuff them in old coal mines. Stuff on top would break down a little, but stuff at the bottom shouldn't. Every so often someone excavates an old landfill and finds 30 year old newspapers that are still perfectly fine, without water or air they take forever to break down, so that same storage solution should work on pre-birth newspapers. Trees are pretty slow tho, maybe grow bamboo or kudzu or something to capture atmospheric carbon and stuff it in old mine shafts.

I think the conflict is not in having a nurse, but in the "made my nurse be a medieval plague doctor". If you force your servants to dress up for your amusement that's a guillotining. I don't make the rules, that's just the way it is. But it was probably just a joke and she didn't force the nurse to wear the costume at all. If the nurse chose to dress up for the holiday that's fine.

BonHair posted:They're probably pro-blackface though, right? In north america we might have something similar with "gypsies" not being real, to the point that many don't realize "gypsy" is a slur against real people who exist. For us they are magical brown people who tell fortunes and live in horse drawn wagons. Very disappointed to find out "gypsy caravans" are just motor homes now.

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:Pigs are cool as gently caress as a pet but they're literally worthless as a small scale sustainable food source. They don't make eggs and if you are raising enough pigs to eat you are already stressed as gently caress trying to wrangle pigs and probably should just get something else. Chickens seem fine and pretty sustainable on a small scale if you really need meat. Easy to murder too which is something that really is the hardest thing about keeping anything for meat. I would love a house cow for milk but the economics are completely wack and I refuse to straight up gank a cow I've essentially kept like the vampires in blade kept humans The way for a small holder to do it is to buy a tiny piglet in the spring. Feed it whatever all summer. Slaughter it in the fall. You don't even have to slaughter it yourself, the town butcher can do it. Pigs are like dogs, they'll eat anything. Anything. You can have a pig toilet, an outhouse mounted over a pig sty. Turn your poop back into food. This is of course a terrible idea that encourages parasites. And the pig might bite your delicate bits while it has the chance.  But just look how happy that man is.

T-man posted:how doyou not drink water for a week are you a camel? Lots of people don't drink tap water at all. Personally I think paying for bottled water when I have perfectly safe tap water for free is a suckers game.  I mean, I don't drink the free tap water either, because I don't like the flavor of the tap water, and I don't really like tea or coffee or juice from concentrate so drinking the tap water or things made from tap water just never comes up. I'm no camel tho. I drink 2 litres of diet pepsi everyday.

Complications posted:When I was a young teen twenty years ago the family was looking to get a new car that would probably end up mine in six or eight years. We had a realistic assessment of statistics and figured I might bend it or get hit. One of the major considerations was that it be big enough that it wouldn't get outright destroyed by anything short of a semi since this was the middle of the big SUV craze. It ended up being a small SUV. I didn't need it, the worst that happened was a couple of parking lot bumps (I got one, I gave one). If I was the type to have kids and was thinking about a car to pass down to them in turn I'd have similar considerations in mind today. SUVs are not safer than sedans though. It feels like they should be safer because they are bigger, but it's the same tinfoil and fiberglass over a steel cage as normal cars. However, having a much higher center of balance does make them more prone flipping over. And cost more in gas. Get your future children a toyota corolla. Do they still make those? Or whatever the future equivalent is.

Shame Boy posted:Y'know giving them judge dredd powers over 78 square miles of land is also a kind of publicly funded incentive package if you think about it, it's just publicly funded with blood instead of money (also probably money) There will be plenty of public funding through state and federal governments before long. Just make rooms for people on disability, old age pensions, and welfare. Replicate the whole private prison thing, but this time for the indigent. The state will be happy to pay to get those undesirables out of the city centers and out of sight. It doesn't even need to be involuntary. The accommodations are spartan, but they are also new, clean, safe, and vermin free, so more attractive than a lot of poverty housing. Guaranteed to provide the menu plan, accommodations and healthcare your government pension can afford, with no hassle or worry. You are free to leave any time you like. Your accommodations are a company town in the middle of the Nevada desert 200 miles from anything, but you are free to leave any time you like.

Already boiled once so it removes some of the arsenic and preserves more of the thiamin, niacin, biotin and pantothenic acid compared to white rice. In my experience it never turns out gummy either, which is good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parboiled_rice

Shame Boy posted:"I'm from a relatively sane country where we simply make people join the military" is quite the take. I mean I agree that it's still sane vs. the US in pretty much every other aspect but lol If you make everyone join the military the public may be less supportive of pointless meatgrinders. Defend the homeland, sure. Send kids your kids halfway around the world to fight for oil profits? Nah. Probably harder to get people to idolize veterans if everyone is a veteran, lol. Like trying to lionize high school graduates.

Shame Boy posted:Well I can't possibly think of a reason that won't work, thank god we're covered for the inevitable climate change food shortages. Would it really make a difference either way? I don't know anything about the program, but surely the strategic reserve wasn't more than 1 year's worth of food, right? Probably much less. Designed for a blip like a crazy huge weather anomaly or corn blight or something seriously disrupting food production in a few states for a year or two, not a gradual but relentless ongoing global climate catastrophe that will render vast swaths of farmland permanently barren.

Eat This Glob posted:i write for a living and my primary audience is well-educated stemlord types. im not a stemlord, but my boss has been in the industry for over 30 years so he knows the subject matter inside and out. my first week there he told me to keep the language plain and don't assume anyone knows what im talking about even if you think it is common knowledge. he relayed a story where some dude said he liked a story but didn't know what NASA was, so every time I write about NASA or any other acronym I spell it out first, even poo poo like scuba. basically the inverse of artsy grad school writing Isn't that basic Writing 101 high school knowledge though? I was taught that the first time you use an acronym in a piece of writing you always spell it out. Even for common ones. So you'd write "The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reported that blah blah blah" and then for the rest of the piece you'd just use CIA.

Spuckuk posted:Now im wven more confused. Americans have walls that arent brick? LOL, brick walls. Our houses are made of this:   To either side of those studs we attach some other material, usually drywall for interior walls. Drywall is basically a sheet of plaster with a sheet of paper stuck to both sides.  So for interior walls, like the walls between apartments, townhouses, semi-detached units, etc., there will be like 1/2 an inch of drywall, a 4 inch air gap, and then another 1/2 an inch of drywall. If your neighbour snores you will know about it.

For a given amount of money you can have a huge flimsy mcmansion to impress your friends right now, or a really solid modest family home that will still be in great shape in 50 years.  Some Mcmansion stuff seems below baseline construction. Like pillars and molding molded out of foam. It looks okay when new, but how is a foam pillar going to stand up to a family running around, or someone bumping into it while moving heavy furniture.
