Pine needles may be calorie-negative and unpleasant to eat, but they're very high in Vit C and available in the dead of winter. I would hardly call them inedible. You can make an o…

Perhaps we agree as a society to pay for universal access to the digital "town square" - collectivize Facebook, Google, etc and pay for it through taxes.

Bolivia. The US-backed coup against Evo Morales may very well have been in part because of his intention to implement state control of lithium extraction, preventing foreign compan…

Fires, hurricanes, extreme heat, and drought are made more frequent & severe by climate change, and they certainly kill people. Climate change also disrupts food systems and will c…

No, smoking is usually defined as smoking daily. But there's so few people that smoke less-than-daily that they aren't usually included in these sort of studies so it's harder to s…

Yeah, it's sent me around the back of buildings more than once.

They also looked at vitamin B, iron, and multivitamins.

Plug for thisplacewillbewater.com - they have a great map of what 4C warming will look like and you can also buy biodegradable stickers to post around and raise awareness if you li…

I'll believe that when our CO2 output per year stops accelerating (never mind when it actually starts shrinking!)

No, I think it's saying that your client only does this at the request of the keybase server to create an initial XLM address for the user, not that it will on-demand add random st…

Wait, what? NYC has some of the best tap water in the country (barring some old buildings with bad pipes).

You might be interested in what Extinction Rebellion is doing. If they're organizing in your area already, I strongly recommend you go see their "Heading for Extinction" talk in pe…

Teslas aren't really able to drive far outside populated areas.
