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.

I can however, store my entire life history of notes and shopping lists inside the sd card

The dog in hot car one and glue in pizza cheese i was able to reproduce on my Google search before they fixed it. But definitely some are fake

Everyone always thinks the jewelry when they think of diamonds but I am excited for the prospects of what cheap lab-grown diamonds can do for manufacturing. Diamonds are electrically insulative and yet 10 times more thermally conductive than copper. There are a LOT of industries that would be VERY interested in that.

Hell, it would probably be useful in CPU substrate as well. Instead of silicon semi conductor doping if these could be made precisely enough you could use diamond for the insulation layers and gain that insane heat transfer efficiency to help with avoiding Hotspots. Maybe that’s too thin to matter that much not sure

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.

Id hardly call that a user fucking things up, that’s not even good on paper. Those are a retarded pair of things to have next to one another regardless of any coloring on them. Especially with the same handles

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

Yes I’m familiar with riding trains, both in and out of the us. It is enjoyable but it is much slower than just hopping in my car and going straight to where I’m going. For the sake of those trips where I’m hopping around between states and coming back in a single day I would not want to have to do it by train. When I’m going out of state and staying out of state for a couple days train is perfectly fine and as long as the Amtrak lines up with my schedule I generally will

I would be really annoyed having to rent something every time I wanted a new bed, tv, dresser, that sort of thing. It’s nice having my own vehicle that can do it.

Like I said we should absolutely have good robust public transportation everywhere so that I only need to use it on those very specific occasions which will drastically cut down on the problems with so many cars but I should still be able to have one. Trying to outright remove cars from people will never lead to anything useful because they will fight you tooth and nail.

Make it so that I don’t need it but can still have it if I want it and suddenly they will be on the road significantly less often, I’m glad that you have been able to get by without one and are happy but not everyone is going to be the same. I mean hell I regularly make trips between the states almost every other week for seeing friends and I would really hate to do that on public transportation because it would take what’s already a 6-hour round trip and probably turn it into a 10 hour round trip.

Even if you got rid of all the bureaucracy bullshit and started building trains everywhere tomorrow that would not remove the need for people to have cars. And the idea that you should be able to build a building that does not have enough spaces for everyone that lives there to have one is unreasonable.

Even if I could literally walk outside and immediately outside of my door get onto a train there are still going to be times I would need a vehicle. Even if I only use it once a year I would still like to be able to own my own. I would like to live somewhere that I only need to use my vehicle a couple times a year but I still need to have somewhere to put it

I mean to be fair people might be more open to it if high density housing didn’t suck ass. The exact same shitty template copy pasted a thousand times. It’s honestly not even that it’s the same that’s the problem it’s that the template sucks ass.

There is a middle ground between high-density housing and showing you into a tiny poorly put together space but nobody seems willing to build that. Give me a suburb house, a full two floors, with a standard layout. And turn that into high density housing and I’m willing to bet a lot more people would be fine with it.

It’s not like that’s even all that difficult to imagine, we build fucking skyscrapers 100 plus stories tall there’s zero reason we couldn’t just take a two-story suburb townhome and just stack 50 of them on top of each other. Then the only thing lost is a dedicated garage and your own private backyard which some people will still heavily want but it’s a much easier pill to swallow versus the “shitty cramped poorly designed apartment layout”

Also it should be mandatory that high density housing has a minimum of one dedicated parking spot per unit, the first two floors of any high-density buildings should be dedicated to a parking garage. That is the other thing that makes people say fuck you to high density housing is it’s always a shit ton of units crammed into not enough parking and it’s a huge pita to deal with. Do we need better design the cities that are less reliant on cars for transport? Yes, but you should still expect at least one car per unit regardless it’s just the reality of America

Unfortunately there is virtually nothing you can do about it or any of us. I’ve replaced just about everything in my kitchen with stainless steel. From plates to cups to bowls cookware measuring cups Etc you name it I’ve got it in the stainless steel.

I’ve got a 10-stage water filter faucet at the sink that I use for cooking and drinking but at the end of the day the only thing I’ve done is perhaps mildly reduced my exposure. It’s in every last bit of food I prepare whether I cook everything myself or not There Is No Escape

Yeah no, i don’t have the time I’ve got my own shit to do. My Plex system is almost entirely automated. Ombi let’s me request a show with a single tap, sonarr finds it from my sources, sends that to transmission, then once it’s download imports it and puts symlinks with proper naming into the library folders. And then plex properly matches up the metadata.

I’m still waiting for it to be up to par, I have jellyfin on the server and I check it maybe once a month with the latest version but it still fails miserably with my library.

It’s a very clean high organized library managed by sonarr. All Files are in

“series name (year) > Season xx > series name SxxExx (episode title)”

format and yet it still just fails miserably at matching so much of my content (its a rather massive library) especially on anime. Half the time I have to manually match it, and I have to use the Japanese title in order to pull up the English metadata, because that makes sense.

Playback also just… Fails for no reason on tons of my devices. It’s been getting better recently but until it’s on par with Plex I am not leaving sadly
