Action precedes motivation. If you wait to be motivated, actions won’t happen. Even if it’s starting small like brushing your teeth, or any act of self care or hygiene that makes you feel better physically

Much form, many jumps. Wow

I’m glad my dogs are no longer able to see out the front to the street, much less barking

Eh, I disagree with the headline. The body of the article is about how do we cool more efficiently or reduce the need for cooling, which are great goals. It’s not that A/C can’t get the job done, it just uses more energy and therefore is costly and polluting depending on the energy source.

Here’s a relevant video on passive homes from Undecided with Matt Ferrell

Nah, fossil fuels should be expensive. We need solar power and EVs for the people

Yeah, this is the answer. The headline isn’t a new idea/finding

Agreed. Sure there were some freshman level courses that were pretty basic and lectures that were skippable. But all of the Junior and Senior level courses were much more challenging and I really needed to understand everything for science lab work to not just be a pile of burnt crap. There were also the exams that were so hard they let us have open textbooks, just studying alone at home wouldn’t have gotten through those exams.

They are not independent of each other though. We wouldn’t need nearly as much crop farming if it weren’t going to feed livestock

Yeah, I’m not fully vegan either because it is hard to go 100% in our society and I grew up in a very meat heavy household, takes time to change. I tend to stick more with Impossible for the plant based meat alternatives, especially the ground beef substitute. I find finishing it in the air fryer/convection oven improves the texture a lot. But chickpeas have become a larger part of my diet, they’re pretty versatile.

about 80% of agricultural land globally is used for raising live stock or growing food to feed livestock, but animal-based products provide less than 20% of calories consumed by humans. Meat is the main cause of industrial farming

If only there was some sort of Impossible plant-based solution that went Beyond expectations in terms of taste and lower resource use than meat…

Not sure if it’s still the case, but airlines used to give flight credits to doctors who helped out. Probably not Spirit though…

Yep, greenhouses make it easier to control the growing conditions, particularly in extreme desert climates

Long chain alkanes? So you’re saying there’s oil on Mars?! Sounds like Mars could use some freedom

The negative effects on cancer and heart disease risks far outweigh benefits regarding Alzheimer’s. Smoking increases risk of lung cancer by more than 25-fold.

If you smoke, quitting is the number one thing you can do to improve your physical and mental health. Nicotine worsens anxiety and depression long-term by disrupting dopamine signaling in your brain. In the US you can call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or visit Lung.org for free evidence-based resources to help with quitting.
