I’ve seen the term tankie thrown around a lot recently. Can you please define it? I’m not quite sure I understand.

Yep, and cooking is easier and safer (I don’t need to worry about cross contamination)

Being vegan is way cheaper and that’s not even accounting for the massive subsidies the meat and dairy industries get, from our taxes.

I was vegetarian when I worked there, very grateful as I probably would be dead of solid arteries after 3 weeks. I like that Ikea has vegan dogs, wish Costco had something similar.

Which post?

“I’m going to head to the bathroom.”

“Be careful! There might be bears.”

I’m having a difficult time reconciling that there’s no SP in The Meg. But I’m also not willing to watch the movie, so I’ll live with believing this information provided

At March 12th of this year, we’ll likely hit 366 days, an entire (leap) year of record breaking temperatures.

Less deadly and more contagious!

Have I got a movie for you to watch! https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2557478/

Unfortunately, I am allergic to morphine, wake me up when they can turn sugar into Dilaudid.

Or better yet, morphine into fully baked sugar cookies.

They’ll have to pay for the ammo themselves, of course.

I’ve been really happy with open garage https://opensprinkler.com/product/opengarage/

Connects via wifi, easy to set up, and I haven’t touched it since. Doesn’t require cloud!

I volunteer!

Than it was.

Not just nostalgia tinted glasses, it really was better in the earlier years.

, the most difficult to search ebike brand.

Also humans are fishing a lot of their food…

Thanks for that! I also got an ebike this year, sub $1,000. Gets me to work and back, local grocery stores, and is fun! I’m voting to increase my city’s biking infrastructure.

Carrots keep better than leafy greens, buy carrots. Tortillas keep better than bread, and they take up less space, but I recognize you don’t need that.

• Carrot and hummus wrap
• Carrots dipped in: hummus, other bean dip, or peanut butter.
• Carrots and rice with a sauce on it. (this might be the most involved)

Additionally, if you’re able: carrots can be grown with little effort. But you need the space.

Oatmeal is good and cheap. I agree apples or pears would be good with it. Try to get just whatever fruit or nuts are on sale for that.

Annie’s makes a good vegan Mac and cheese.

Instead of what?

I sent the article through Google Bard to summarize:

Antarctica just hit a record low in sea ice, with the annual maximum coverage being 398,000 square miles lower than the previous record low set in 1986. Scientists are concerned that this may be the beginning of a long-term trend of decline for Antarctic sea ice, since oceans are warming globally. Sea ice around the polar regions plays a critical part in protecting the adjacent ice sheets. Less sea ice means less sunlight will be reflected back to space, causing waters to warm more and destabilize surrounding ice and glaciers. Coastlines are also much more exposed with less sea ice, removing a buffer that could help protect melting ice shelves or ice sheets. Scientists have long seen these downward sea ice declines and effects in the Arctic, and now they think Antarctica is hitting a turning point much like the Arctic has. In just seven years, Antarctica has experienced three new record-breaking low sea ice summers. Antarctica has been showing responses to climate change in other ways as well. Antarctica and the Arctic are warming faster than the global average. Warmer ocean temperatures around the continent have caused major ice melt around the ice sheet, including destabilizing the Thwaites Glacier, which is about the size of Florida and contributes to 4 percent of annual global sea level rise. Moon said changes in how the ocean moves as well as the atmosphere have also become more apparent. Experts say that this is not great news, as polar ice is one of the world’s biggest insurance policies against runaway climate change.
