There's more than one way to save the earth :)

What's new to me in this data is that the increase in cropland for humans for a vegan diet is still less that what we currently feed to animals in spite of the enormous amount of pasture they also require.

DrawExpress is very intuitive to use on a phone, but the files may not be editable in other software. It exports as SVG, PNG, or pdf.

This reminds me of the time, in college, when a Christian fellowship leader gave us all a list of alternatives to sex, including

1. Passing chocolate from mouth to mouth
2. Naked wrestling...

Real men in tights

The map from the third is the "circumstances" of the first two. Or the "results". First two just theorists, I guess.

But, that's sperm, right? Half the chromosomes, like an egg, only motile.

When you can't be the winningest. It's like giving yourself an A for effort.

Laying the groundwork for post election

We need orphan technology program like for orphan drugs. I can't imagine it would be very costly to keep this one woman's device running, but it does take someone somewhere being responsible for it.

Maybe this is normal, but I just learned last week that in Washington, if a candidate has lost the open primary they cannot be a write in candidate.

Don't wear your investment on your sleeve

Greek autopsia "a seeing with one's own eyes,"

So I guess it works regardless of species. Though I'm not sure I believe this. Like how else did ancient Greeks see?

This was Catholicism. He's a smart guy and I'm pretty sure he figured it out. Did not become a priest, though, so maybe his mom was right.

I don't see anything in the Biden bill about deporting people who have been living in the US for any amount of time. It seems to be all about quickly turning around new migrants during "surges" and changes to the way new cases are handled. I'm not saying I support the bill, but it does not seem to be a mass deportation bill. Tell me if I'm wrong.

My grandma in the 30s had to hide all evidence of menstruation from just one of her two younger brothers, the explanation being he was intended for the priesthood. I'm not saying it makes sense.

Except I think it's interesting this was not generalizable. The Spanish were looking for people, just different people at first. Cortez for example landed and immediately "employed" hundreds of native people to come up with some wealth to pay off the exploration debt. The friars were specifically there to convert people to Catholicism.

The British puritans were looking to build their personal Utopia, but the Spanish and others, it seems to me, were looking for a populated colony from the start.

True, though, bushtits are ferocious.

6,000 Costco customers have signed a petition saying they will cancel their membership if the retailer starts selling the pills.

That's not very many-- how do we sign up on the other side?

I saw a local one advertised on nextdoor and I went to the site because there are rules for advertisers on that app and I wanted to complain. It is exactly as I'd heard-- telling people there's no reason to be seen quickly and will not be given appointment within two weeks, calling themselves a clinic but no statement of any medical service. But they said so little about what they actually do that I couldn't find any good grounds for complaint to the app as also the app's own content categories, "health" or something, was too vague to be considered misleading. I complained anyway that they were promoting pseudo medicine and political activity, but didn't get a reply.
