There’s been talk of some crops being able to be grown further north or south. But most of the weather patterns of a region are a function of proximity to ocean, predominant winds, and topography. It’s important not to confuse weather and climate. For a given drought or flood people may want to point to climate change as a cause, but it’s only going to amplify patterns that already existed.

Climate change is moving water around, not creating or destroying it. Warmer air holds more water, so overall, the atmosphere can hold (and at times drop) more water than before. Permanent ice is melting as well, so that puts a bit more fresh water into the air and ocean. The water in the atmosphere is constantly circling the globe, forced largely by the rotation of the earth. Warmer temperature also makes for more evapotranspiration, so more fresh surface water is pulled into the air. But that same water will eventually fall elsewhere.

The sun is the source of energy that drives wind, rain, and evaporation. When you trap more of that energy with GHGs, it just turns up the volume for all of those things. There’s always seasonal and geographic variability, but the extremes increase because all those phenomena are solar powered.

One difference is that lemmy post titles can be edited by the poster. Maybe mods can too? Perhaps somebody needs to make a “anti-clickbait suggested title” bot, to help combat clickbait.

Some Reddit communities had rules that you couldn’t change the news title I think. A practice that has unfortunately passed on. Perhaps some vigilant lemmy moderators can make an anti-clickbait policy, where any prompts or questions must be summarized in the title.

There should be a name firewall for the screening process. The person hiring shouldn’t know if the applicant is male, female, Chinese, or a robot. Obviously they’ll find out in the interview but yeah, at least it starts with a fair chance.

Well I’ve never done it myself but white mycelium would form a kind of solid mass between all the rice grains. It might be hard to tell white on white. But it would feel solid, like requiring some effort to crumble. At warm temperatures (75-80F) I would imagine about 3-4 weeks would be sufficient. At cooler temperatures I don’t know. Usually you’d find out that you inoculated some kind of mold, but it is possible the spores didn’t make it in or they were unviable. But from mycelium, then there are a variety of techniques to get the mycelium to fruit, typically involving a new food source and a light source.

There was a subreddit about uncleben brand rice, which is sold pre-cooked in pouches. The sub was not about eating the rice, but as a growth medium for various fungi. The rice is the perfect nutrient and moisture content, and it’s sterile. Mushroom spores are prone to contamination for a couple weeks while they get established, so it’s a fairly reliable way to get started, without owning a pressure cooker. Any pouch of shelf stable pre-cooked grain should be a suitable substrate for this type of mushroom, which in the wild actually grows on manure.

More trees, more problems. Keep grazing or you’ll get wicked wildfires. Cheese is better than timber.

Beer is 95% water. If you’re counting on it for all your calories, you probably won’t want to drink any additional water or you lose your precious salt and vitamins.

As others have noted vitamin C and salt are probably the most immediate lacking nutrients. If you had a margarita once a week, I think that might be enough.

Numerous people have done a 40-day fast for lent, taking only beer. So that is easily doable. Multiple months is probably possible, but seasons/years maybe not.

I also skip steps going down. Essential life skill.

Planning to draw? The only way to get better at drawing is to do it, a lot! Every day.

Living at home is probably not a selling point but it’s probably best to be upfront about it, maybe you’ll find a girl who’s living at home too. Better not to waste somebodies time, or your own, if that’s a big deal to somebody.

If I was you I’d describe your ideal date, maybe it’s a long shot, but if it works it’s a slam dunk. So like, where would you eat out, or take out, which video game would you play, movie would you watch, what beer do you want to drink? Or maybe your ideal date is to get donuts and go to a quiet place in nature and read a book?

Anyway by being honest about yourself, and what you’re looking for, you may not be successful but you won’t waste any bodies time (including your own).

Do you have roommates? Siblings? How do you get along with them? What kind of friend are you?

Do you have any interesting talents or skills?

What kind of person do you want to meet? Would you date a vegan? What about overweight or obese? Do you want to consume drugs/alcohol together? Do you want to play Portal 2 Co-Op? Do you want to move in and get a dog?

What are you studying? What books and movies do you like most and why? Does Linkin Park help you with suicidal thoughts or make it worse?

The Orville feels like a very good update of TNG at times. They deal with a lot of cultural drama with analogs to our current society. And upping the humor a bit helps.

Blasphemy warning…

I’d probably start with Strange New Worlds. Then go back for TNG, DS9, and Voyager.

This, but I think equally important is de-duplication of links. Ideally these alternative links to the same content could also be de-duped. All comments should be in one thread. I know what I’m describing is complicated due to communities across servers, but it would really improve lemmy for me.

Avos can bruise before they are soft. The bruises go sour before the whole fruit is soft. Most grocery stores absolutely abuse the fruits. Find a store that doesn’t. Look for a single layer, not a pyramid, heap, or pile. Costco keeps them in the flat boxes.

Anyway the restaurants buy them wholesale and they’re cared for in nice flat boxes so they can ripen beautifully.

Elysium!

You’re not wrong. And anybody who could afford to stop them is too busy fighting a culture war to organize. Who do you think is stoking animosity? MLKJ wasn’t assassinated for civil rights, it was for the Poor Peoples Campaign. The only thing that could stop them is the unity of all those living paycheck to paycheck, regardless of religion or race.

Highest elevation so far Mt Whitney (14,505’, 4,421 m). Pretty uneventful climb since it was the end of over two weeks on the John Muir Trail. The previous 5 days was almost entirely avoid 10,000 ft. We slept on the shoulder of the mountain and sauntered up in the morning in about an hour.

Highest climb from the bottom to top was maybe Mt Williamson (14,379’, 4383 m). Trailhead is about 6300 ft, so at least 8,000 ft of climbing (2440 m). It was very difficult, climbed over 2 days. Not much time to adapt to the altitude. The hardest part was the realization that the top is exactly half way. I just wanted to paraglide down or get a helicopter ride. Some very difficult rocky terrain.

Honorable mention is Mauna Kea (4207 m). I had a magical elixir of coffee and Maca (REBBL Chocolate flavor), and powered to the top without altitude sickness. I haven’t tried it since, but I will try Maca again next time I’m going up in elevation above 10k ft.
