  • If you don’t do Thanksgiving then this is honestly viable. Literally the only reason my big ass of an exists at this point is for a turkey because even though I got one of the probably largest countertop air fryers I could find where I can fit whole roasted chickens and do baking and other stuff it won’t fit a whole ass turkey and I don’t think I would want one that could that would be just a little bit too much counter space

    I’m going to assume that you do not mean Deep Rock Galactic with that acronym because that has worked out of the box since day one I play it regularly with friends on the steam deck and on my Linux desktop and the only thing I had to do was click play in Steam.

    Can’t help you with your emulators, I used dolphin to play dokepone Kingdom regularly over VPN without any issues didn’t have to do anything special either so that one just sounds like a skill issue


  • I find myself temporarily kind of sort of not really homeless. I bought five acres of land, with an agreement on file that the county would open the barrier upon purchase. Here I am 5 months later still struggling to even get them to answer my calls much less open my barrier. So while I have land, and an RV, I have nowhere to put it.

    The majority of RV parks have no availability for long-term stay, even if they did they cost pretty much the same if not more than renting an apartment which is stupid. And most places are insanely hostile towards RVs staying anywhere else. I’ve been lucky in that I happen to be near a rest stop that is both usually not busy and absolutely huge. I’ve been sneaking under the radar staying here longer than I should occasionally hanging out at a wallmart or something during business hours to avoid being noticed.

    But this is getting harder and harder as most public Waste stations have closed, and the ones that are open still have gotten rid of their potable water so I might be able to dump my Wastewater but I have nowhere to then refill water.

    I built this RV to be great for 24/7 living, I have over 4 kilowatts of solar on the roof, I have over 15 KW hours of battery storage so I don’t even need an electrical hookup. I have a full size heat pump hot water heater, two chest freezers one of which is to use as a fridge, and I have about 100 gallons freshwater capacity. On top of that I have enough filtration on my water system to make it so that I could probably just safely use stream water if I really wanted. I’ve got multiple levels of whole home size filtration right at the tank, and then for all my drinking and cooking water it goes through an additional 10 stage filter system that has reverse osmosis and alkaline remineralization. It’s in good condition, clean, and it’s hard to miss the solar lining the whole thing. It’s obviously not a dilapidated homeless RV but people treat me like I’m some kind of homeless crack addict just because I’m in an RV.






  • Soybeans are a fairly large part of most purely vegetarian diets, as they provide a metric ton of the various nutrients one needs, you can get around that with enough other types of vegetables but SB is the quickest and easiest which means it would likely become one of the most heavily consumed parts of an all vegetarian economy if everyone were to suddenly switch.

    Soybeans, kale, and winter squashes are generally the most popular because they are very heavily nutrient and vitamin dense. But they don’t exactly scale to extreme levels cleanly.

    Again, to be clear, I am advocating for a switch to primarily vegetarian diets. I’m just saying going exclusively vegetarian isn’t necessarily going to be great and will come with its own set of challenges and problems. A middle ground of primarily vegetarian but still some light meat usage is going to be the healthier Middle Ground both for your diet and the environment

    Sure this is a fairly recent one. It makes intuitive Sense on the surface that going pure vegetarian would be beneficial and reduce emissions. But that’s because we are comparing it to a system of meat that is based off the current demand where a majority of people are large consumers of it regularly.

    Animals can be beneficial environmentally speaking even when raised for food, and the resource cost for growing vegetarian food can end up becoming quite large when you scale it to that same level.

    Extremes are rarely the true solution there is usually a middle ground this is no exception


  • There is also the problem that a lot of times the argument for why it’s better is not framed properly. Plenty Of Studies have shown that if literally everyone were to suddenly go vegetarian we would have the exact same problem just now with vegetables instead of meat. The supply wouldn’t be there things would get ramped up emissions and resource use especially water would increase drastically to try and keep up with the demand.

    If you’re going vegetarian just because you don’t like the idea of eating animals then that’s fine, but if you’re at all coming at it from the sustainability perspective then the true solution is a dietary mix that is more heavy towards the vegetarian side of things but still with some meat mixed in just not a dietary staple eating constantly.

    Have you actually looked at any of the studies the majority of our greenhouse gases are coming from? Transportation is only a small piece of it. If your goal is to stop climate change then there are significantly more important things you could be targeting. Fuels used for generating electricity, as byproducts in the manufacturing of goods, and the clear cutting of forests all contribute significantly more to Greenhouse production than Transportation does.

    That’s not to say we shouldn’t reduce Transportation emissions still, which you seem to think I’m not advocating for but I clearly am because I am saying I want better public transportation and I want to be able to use my car less often I just don’t want it taken away from me entirely. But using it as an argument for the removal of cars is weak because it’s not even one of the largest contributors


  • And what if it’s pouring down rain? Or snowing? And I just don’t feel like becoming completely soaked just to go to the grocery store. There are lots of reasons someone might want a car over a bike. I actually have a bike and I do use it, fun fact I’m also a bus driver so I’m pretty fond of public transportation because it directly feeds my livelihood. However I have this neat little thing where I don’t really sweat much even if I’m basically on the verge of heat stroke. So if it’s anything more than like 60° F outside and sunny and I’m doing some type of cardio such as biking i will start to overheat.

    So the majority of my bike riding is in the fall and winter months, but I do very much enjoy during those months when I can take the bike to work thankfully I don’t have to go very far and I get to ride the local transit for free as a bus driver.

    The carrying capacity of Earth is already handling the majority of Americans owning multiple cars, I’m literally only asking for enough parking for one car for each individual in the design of a building. Which is literally just a couple floors of a parking garage and you’re over here asking like I want the end of the world. If you ever want to see Improvement in public transportation you need to stop being so extremist because it pushes people away from the idea entirely
