Maybe, maybe not. It isn't like most folks can live off of a garden plot of a normal house, if you even have a garden plot.

I cannot cycle 20km fairly leisurely in an hour: I live in a mountainous area, but lived most of my life on flat ground and going uphill is freaking difficult, even if I'm going at a leisurely speed - and sometimes, downhill is brakes all the way down.

And I don't know how much this person drives. Most places I go to are within walking distance, and I'm pretty sure 8 hours of ditches would be less work than an entire summer of gardening (where I'd have to rent a plot, since I'm an apartment dweller). The majority of my foodstuffs are going to still be driven in, too.

I’m surprised that no one commented on the bacterium in question isn’t strictly bacteria. They’re from Archean domain of life, which is a highly diverse class of bacteria like species. Archaeons are like weird mashups of eukaryota and bacteria with properties shared between them. This separation wasn’t known until fairly recently (70s), so it may not be familiar to most. They’re really cool lil bugs!
> Feminism want us to believe that taking care of kids is a burden that men unfairly push to women while they go off to have fun at work.

No, feminism (except perhaps some weird subcategory of bourgeois feminism) does not want you to believe work is fun. And most feminism places the blame here on institutional patriarchy (which binds both men and women with restrictive gender roles, harming both) not men pushing restrictive gender roles on women.

You do seem to describe a common right-wing caricature of feminism, though.

Why I was mentioning that is because I personally would not like to get the vaccine because: I am in my twenties, I have an immunological autoimmune disorder (and I recently developed allergies, to my luck), and I have not caught COVID-19 despite constant exposure to it.

Does it sound a good enough reason for not getting vaccinated?
Good advice. I (proudly) ignore about 60-70% of communication I receive. The important stuff bubbles to the top naturally. The rest goes away. If I jumped on everything, all the time, I'd actually end up getting nothing done.

Sure, but you have to realize that Google is not exactly a cautionary tale to a business person. For all its faults as a product org, it is an extremely, extremely successful business. So to argue “you don’t want to be like them!” is 180° incorrect. That’s online-brain stuff.

ICs have to produce technical work themselves even if they also have reports. Managers are presumed to spend so much time managing they no longer can/should do that.

Senior Engineer probably wouldn't have reports though - that just means you know enough to not make mistakes. Staff and up would run projects and have at least unofficial reports.

Do you hate Google THAT much that nothing matters if they are hurt?

Google has seriously damaged its brand in the past decade. People feel very strongly that Google's invasions of everyone's privacy, their erosion of internet freedom, and their blatant tax avoidance warrants significant punishment. It's not surprising that governments around the world are starting to see Google (and other SV companies) as a form of piggy bank that they can tap for funds occasionally. It's both lucrative and a vote winner.

Even as someone who hates kids I can see birth rates as huge problem.

No one is deciding though to have kids or not based on the father getting paid time off.

I think it is an easier argument that a knowledge worker who has been up all night taking care of a screaming baby is not effective anyway.

I think we should give fathers paid time off out of pity basically.

You can probably do that, but don't delude yourself that you're doing anything for the environment.

Methane itself is a very potent greenhouse gas. Everything you do with methane is only environmentally friendly if you have a very low leakage rate. Whatever homegrown DIY biogas facility you're creating very likely does not do that.

Reddit is literally NOTHING (absolutely nothing, zero zilch nada, is None) without the people that use it and without the content from other website they submit.

Don't get me wrong, reddit is very useful and nice. I absolutely hate Reddit the company but I still find some subs super interesting and useful. Remember, this has nothing to do with Reddit the company it self. Reddit the company it self is absolute garbage. The idea that they feel entitled enough to tell people who made the bulk of it what they should want (new design, block mobile browse, push app, and now ban download bots) is a comical.

People who work for reddit are wasting their talents, that is if they have any. I'm sure engineering wise there are talented people there, but business/design wise I'm almost certain that their value is abysmal. Reddit management is just a combination of entitled, dumb, and inexperienced.

Reddit's end is going to be like another 9gag site. At least 9gag acknowledges what they really are, but Reddit pretends as if they're fucking archive.org while they're 4chan's inferior brother but they just don't know it.

I've started a small market garden here on the far north coast of Scotland (https://www.instagram.com/burnlea.farm). Growing veggies for the local community, trees from local seed stock and this year I'm growing some old local varieties of barley (bere barley).

The soil on our croft is in a good way, having been left undisturbed for decades (aside from being cut for hay). However, we still need to build fertility and are doing so through compost, ramial woodchip and biodynamic preparations. This combined with a no-till (or minimum till) approach is helping to develop build soil and enhance soil structure. One issue we need to address with this is water management, as it can get very wet here (although we are a few weeks without rain now).

For keeping track of fertility in your soil a simple test that many people do is measure organic matter. This isn't something I've done yet. You can also do worm counts. And more detailed soil tests.

There are apps out there such as SoilMentor by Vidacycle that guide you in tracking this. Here's a good overview of their tests, which can be done by farmers on site with minimal equipment https://soils.vidacycle.com/soil-tests/

You can get a sense of the baseline when starting a project by doing this. But a good indicator would be looking at what plants are growing there already (if any) - weeds etc are indicators of soil characteristics. For example, compaction and drainage.

Personally I haven't taken any soil tests yet, I'm just keeping an eye on our crops and getting the sense of things that way. I'll take some tests at some point soon. Simple approaches to this can be pretty handy, for example I've been scything our 2 acre field and it allows me to step over each part of the field noticing how the vegetation changes species-wise and in vigor.

Supporting this, I'm also developing an app for market gardens to use for crop planning and record keeping. It's great to be your own customer, plus I'm tapping into a good network of established markets gardens here who are helping to shape the product.

I recommend anyone starting a project should read Mark Shepard's new book Water For Any Farm. His master line system, built upon PA Yeoman's keyline and scale of permanence is valuable, especially at an early stage. Equally valuable in dry climates as it is in wet ones.
From Texas?

He's from Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He worked and lived most of his life in The Netherlands and lived and worked about 15 years in Texas, according to Wikipedia.
But “redundant” doesn’t mean “optional” if the fault-tolerance is actually valuable to the business. Sure, pretty much any company could gut payroll if the sole objective was to minimize costs over the next, say, 12 months. They could further minimize costs by ceasing to back up their data and not putting a fire sprinkler system in their new office building.
> If you can leave your job in a state that means the next 6 months are problem-free then you are amazing

That's not the point. In high-pressure, competitive environments being out of the loop for 6 months means that you have to catch-up for the next 3 months to get back to speed. It slows down people's careers.
You're talking about the duty of a doctor with regards to their individual patient, but I'm taking about the duty of public health agencies with regards to the population as a whole.

But fair enough, let's focus on the individual patient. The fact that a child is now 10 years old and would most likely suffer from asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 if they were to catch it today says nothing about their possible condition if they catch it in 20, 30, or 40 years time. As long as SARS-CoV-2 is circulating in the population, and it will be for the near future, deciding not to vaccinate a child because they are at low risk at this very moment is at best wishful thinking about their future, and at worst an active hope that they catch the virus and develop some level of immunity before it is likely to harm them significantly. And if some people are advising that the vaccines could cause very significant injury, they are more than welcome to publish their findings in a scientific journal rather than producing online films about it.
No, you probably can't. To make biogas on any reasonable scale is at least a village-scale thing; a single family/household cannot easily produce sufficient raw-material to manufacture useful amounts of methane unless you commit to growing biomass just for conversion. (See also another comment below where livestock are involved, so another path to a sufficiency of raw material.)

I was very keen on the idea of making my own biogas (for cooking) when starting out in my self-sufficiency efforts some >25y ago, and the entire sewage system is designed to make conversion to biogas production easy, but the reality is it's just not ever going to produce any significant quantity of methane without some serious supplementation. Add to that, biogas digesters slow down significantly in Winter, even here where we never get freezing temps. In places that experience serious Winters you need to figure out ways to heat(!) the digester to keep it working lest the raw material inputs back up and cause... a mess that will thaw in Springtime with (cough) challenging results.
> Please remind me, when was the last time that we gave people vaccines not to protect that person specifically

Constantly, it's always part of why we vaccinate, to stop people being a vector as well as personal protection.
A decade of destabilisation in both countries could have been the straw that broke the camel's back, sure.

Argentina was already out of the rich-countries-club by the time the 70's had come around, and the bloody military coup you reference is likely the inevitable political instability that comes surely after sustained economic instability.

And as for Zimbabwe, the "civil-war" was hardly a destabilising event for the country, and the international isolation was easily evaded, this is well documented. I think Zimbabwe, once the bread basket of Africa as Rhodesia, is a great example of how self-determination might undermine an improperly equipped nation.
copilot has already ended up reproducing longer snippets of its input perfectly, at least for code that appeared multiple times in its training set.

I don't think you should take into account the fact that you haven't gotten it despite being exposed. But yeah if you have a disorder that increases the likelihood for complications of course you should take that into account. (I also presume you've spoken to doctors about this.)

But none of that has to do with the issue that something may happen in the future. You are making your choices with the information you have _now_.

I suppose it is possible that some people may be more immune to COVID-19 than others. I am curious about this. I hope there will be research on this, but that is just for my curiosity.

By the way, something related: I cannot get a job because I am not vaccinated. No one cares here about people who cannot get vaccinated for health reasons. It is tough.

For Americans: https://www.axios.com/republicans-coronavirus-vaccines-discr...

I am sure many people are against it, but if we push people to get the vaccine because of society and its people, then surely they should care about those who cannot get vaccinated for health reasons. They are currently unable to get a job here.
