i am more than willing to engage on any positive claim you want to make (i probably agree with a lot of them). what i’m not willing to do is tolerate personal attacks and dogpiling.

  • What’s your most controversial opinion?

  • Using a government enforced monopoly to criminalize people sharing art and information is obviously immoral. So pretty much any other option is preferable

  • can we not use "Banana Republic" as an insult? colonialism isn't the fault of the colonized.

  • poore-nemecek did some really sloppy work here, though, and i would contend it's scientific malpractice. they combined LCA studies which were disparately methodized. this is counter to the specific guidance on LCA studies, which says the cannot be combined.

  • learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what?

  • i don't know popcorn. but i believe you will be able to find a major scale for any instrument with only rudimentary searching.

    after that, twinkle twinkle is 1-1-5-5-6-6-5 4-4-3-3-2-2-1 5-5-4-4-3-3-2 5-5-4-4-3-3-2 1-1-5-5-6-6-5 4-4-3-3-2-2-1. sometimes i get fancy and end the last phrase with 2-3-1 instead but if you get comfortable enough with the scale, twinkle twinkle is a breeze.

    then in the hall of the mountain king is a great way to work on precision and speed. and i truly believe if you can do that, you can buckle down and learn anything else.

    i play trumpet, harmonica, ocarina, penny whistle, glockenspiel (and all other mallet percussion), and guitar. i found piano to be daunting, so maybe this advice specifically is not good for that instrument, and diatonic harmonica and penny whistle both lack some notes that might make in the hall of the mountain king difficult. i don't know. i didn't actually learn that tune on those instruments.

    but, basically, yes. just do it.

    here are some other standards: when the saints go marching in, and somewhere over the rainbow. that one's fun because it has both an octave jump in it and a phrase with accidentals.

  • you're misreading this graphic

    a soybean is about 20% oil.

    13.2% is human edible oil, biodiesel is another 2.8%, and another .3% is lubricants. that means 16.3% of the global crops oil is extracted. that's about 85% of the total crop that's pressed.

    that leaves about 69% as industrial waste, which we feed to livestock, and another 7% of the crop is fed directly to them, but this includes crop seconds.

  • the oil, a few years ago when I last looked this up, was about half the value of the he soybean, despite only being 1/5 of the weight of the bean. and it was tending upward. I don't know if it's definitive to say one way or another, but my interpretation is that over 4/5 soybeans are processed in an oil press to extract the oil, and we feed the industrial waste to livestock.

  • because, at the moment, it's economically productive. it's hard to imagine the landowner would actively choose not to make money, so it would likely be sold off for development

  • I think it's telling that they changed the scope of their position. and the fact that most of the paper is spent detailing how to avoid deficiencies

  • soybeans

    are such a great example. only 7% of the global crop is fed directly to livestock. over 80% of the global supply is pressed for oil. the byproduct is about 67% of the total crop weight that would be industrial waste if we didn't feed it to livestock.

  • Imagine if we used that land to grow crops for human consumption

    where it's possible, we mostly do. animals graze on grasslands, and there is no reason to think farming that land is either ecologically sound or economically viable. the crops that are fed to livestock are largely crop seconds or parts of plants we can't or won't eat. soy is my favorite example, but cottonseed is another great one.
