  • At any moment you could have a moment that you think about for the rest of your life.

  • Likewise any time you think about something from the past, it could be the last time you ever think of it.

  • They will sell you vitamin D, they don't want you to know its source

  • Commercially grown mushrooms wouldn’t be possible without vast amounts of manure, which is a byproduct of industrial animal agriculture. I fail to find a clear distinction between manure and leather, which is also a byproduct of meat and dairy production.

    Personally I don’t eat dung mushrooms because I don’t like the taste. I was just providing information so those who want to choose can know.

  • You can get a lot of Vitamin D from sunshine and mushrooms. For mushrooms, the common type is usually grown in the dark on dung (an animal product), while many others are grown on wood or in symbiosis with tree roots. If the mushroom does not experience UV light, the vitamin D may be low or negligible.

  • Do the needs of the many outweigh the whims of the few?

  • But they could afford to buy beef from better sources. They could afford for their employees to have a career instead of a job. They could do that and still cost less than McDonalds. Yeah they’re alright compared to the big corporations but they are not improving the world - they are extracting profit from it.

  • If that is the case at least it could radicalize your daughters to fight for human rights. Even that would be a better outcome for your family than suicide.

    You are going through a tough time like I will never know. Just know that at this time you are free. You are not bound unless you bind yourself. And that means you can choose what to do next, and your choices may improve your situation. You are in a mind prison but I cannot break you out. I’m just showing you that the door is open for when you choose to walk out.

  • Have you ever heard the phrase “fake it till you make it”? Your thoughts become your reality. If you say you are powerless then you are.

  • It would seem she’s still abusing you. Maybe record your transactions, including pickups on a GoPro. Another reasonable (but painful) solution is to explain to your daughters that you can no longer interact with their mother in any way. Lots of options before you throw in the towel.

  • Yeah it’s better than in 1995.

    • Vehicles have gotten much more efficient, quieter, and safer (for the occupants)
    • Electric-assist bicycles
    • Smartphones and fiber internet
    • Making orders, reservations, and appointments online rather than with agents or phone calls
    • Less crime
    • More organic food choices
    • Better coffee roasters
    • More artisan bread bakers
    • More locally made fine beer, wine, and cheese
    • Less air pollution (including cigarette smoke)
    • Better television and movies at home
    • Affordable solar energy, batteries and off-grid living

    I’m sure there more I’m not thinking of. I’d have a hard time going back to 1995.

  • Is worth being all different from normal audience?

  • Relating to people in person about online media or TV has always been cringe to me. If somebody is telling me about something they saw I tell them to text it to me. Movies and books are sort of a different story - they have enough depth to generate some interesting conversation.

    It’s much better to relate to people in person about 3D in person things. In order to do that you need to do some of those things. Foraging, baking bread, art, live music, meditation, dance, martial arts, or anything else that happens in person.

    I still pop into Reddit for a few subs and they’re not really that interesting to be honest.

  • How do you know you're actually reasoning - and not just storytelling?

    Jump

  • Pick something fringe that you have a belief about, like Bigfoot. Look at the evidence, really look at first hand interviews. How many witnesses before it becomes plausible? Do those hundreds of people really get off on making things up?

    You could do this with anything, even western medicine. It takes practice to figure out which part of your understanding was just accepted as truth, and which part you have evidence for.

    The biggest bias that everybody has is thinking that a million people can’t be wrong. That surely some other expert would have discovered it if there was anything there.

    I recently heard of some physics-breaking experiment that had been repeated by a few YouTubers. Two large torus magnets with opposite ends clamped close together. This object falls slower than one of the same mass and size.

  • Rivian’s financial statements provide insight into its per-unit losses, though calculating an exact figure requires analyzing multiple variables. The company’s cost of goods sold (COGS), which includes direct production expenses, regularly exceeds revenue, leading to negative gross margins. According to its latest SEC filings, Rivian reported a gross loss per vehicle of approximately $39,000 in 2023, though this figure fluctuates based on production volume and operational efficiencies.

    Not exactly a number they put in a press release, but as a publicly traded company it is published quarterly.

  • Rivian is losing about $30k per vehicle, but with much lower production numbers.

  • How we modify the weather

    Jump

  • In addition to particulate nucleation sites, which help precipitation, combustion also creates new H2O vapor by consuming oxygen and freeing hydrogen from its carbon bond in fuel. While most may view this image as a simple CO2 equation, that’s not weather modification; it’s climate modification.

    In an off-grid mountain community in the southern Sierra, a lifelong resident said in the pub that it used to rain every afternoon in the summer when he was young. Compared to now where it rains about every 10 days. By my estimate that was about the time smog was at its worst in the state, a time of 10mpg and muscle cars. I wonder if his memory was already an altered condition from natural.

  • I've been told that I "bottle things up and then explode". How do you not "explode"?

  • You are not your thoughts, nor are you your emotions. You are the observer of those things. Somebody presses your buttons, but it is your choice whether or not those buttons fire. For example if a child said some hurtful things to you, would it have the same impact as an adult? I should hope not. What is stopping you from viewing somebody as a child, especially if they are acting like one?

    In addition to cardio, try breathing and cold water. Always breathe through your nose, even when running. Try to breathe through your nose as a cold shower takes your breath away. Or go for the full ice bath. An ice bath tells your body (the producer of anger emotions and chemicals), “hey, I’m in control here, you are not good at assessing threats”. The mind follows the breath, or the breath follows the mind.

    But if I’m being honest I’ve always had a hot temper, and what is really helping me is Lithium. It allows me to observe anger without being overwhelmed by it.

  • Eliminate income tax, instead tax assets. Assets like cars, houses, farmland, stocks, metals, and savings. 4% annually under $1M, increasing to 8% annually at $100M, and 12% annually over $1B.
