Considered that myself occasionally. But gnawing on animal flesh is simply too satisfying, and can't find a comparable veggy alternative. Whether soft and succulent rib-eye or tenderloin, to spicy Wing Zap @ KFC, to tough chewy jerky. I've accepted being a carnivore, although, if having to kill my food / meat, I'd probably only eat seafood as a meat source. They cry and scream in agony at a frequency I can't hear, much like plants. AND ... yes they do: "Researchers in Israel found that plants make a high frequency clicking sound when placed under stress. During a six year study, the researchers listened to a variety of plants including tomatoes, grapevines, tobacco and wheat. The plants made noises when they were cut or when they were thirsty." https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/04/02/scientists-have-recorded-the-sound-plants-make-when-they-are-under-stress#:~:text=Researchers in Israel found that,or when they were thirsty.

Hence the problem, when the profiteers control your govt. Only 40ish % from renewables and not developed over the past decades since MMGW/CC was known. Pretty obvious, fossil fuel industry still control the world's energy production (2020)- wiki Fine example of minimal progress of electric production. Not much change: It's a work in progress, at least a few countries (EU) are trying, and 50+% is from renewables.

I can only directly control what I have access to. Hydrogen for transport might be good for trucking industry, but a bit impractical for personal car use, besides not available here. Actually moving toward self sufficiency, except for some, lots of food items. We do avoid most processed foods. Fruit & veggy garden is a work in progress, rain water half the year, solar & EV, are about all I can control. Seems others aren't trying at all and simply don't care. To busy talking about what others should do. People can chose to be part of the solution, or continue to be the problem. Some (most) talk, some (very few) do .... UP2U

Agree 100% and why we all should have solar & driving EVs. But ............... yea, there's that ????

PP on the cusps of high/low season.

Rib-Eye Salt, pepper, MSG hot skillet 1 min, then turn every minute till reach desired internal temp ~125F, rest for 5 mins. No real need to take out of frig early, as internal temp drops very little. Reverse sear after oven or sous vid works excellent also, if you have patience. No need to rest after searing.

Apple Martini ... Stoli w/wee bit Apple Schnapps. Surprisingly tasty. Chickie friend was addicted to them, and turned me on to them. We used to get wacked ... fun nights. Those & Long Island Iced Teas were my demon alcohols when wanting to escape to world. LIITs were pretty much all liquor also, considering the small amount/ratio of lemon & coke that was added.

I think they fired him for not showing up to work what he agreed upon when hired. Nobody is guaranteed off on Sunday or any holiday working for the post office. Some places are open 24/7. Try Chik Fit A ... they'll give you Sunday off

Obviously I'm exaggerating, as at time of posting, didn't have a clue, and really didn't care, but pretty sure it's a very low %. Not a female, or live in FL, so yep ... ... I don't care Quick G-search, and correct, the % is almost not mentioning in the grand scheme of things. "Just 1% of women obtain an abortion because they became pregnant through rape, and less than 0.5% do so because of incest, according to the Guttmacher Institute." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/05/24/rape-and-incest-account-few-abortions-so-why-all-attention/1211175001/

Can you provide a link that disputes it ?

Those will account for 0.0000001 % of abortions ????

Use TH available materials vs wood/logs. https://www.kontio.com/en/models/glasshouse80-logcabin/

Inexpensive & quality don't match when it comes to beef. Worse, price guarantees nothing, as I've had better local beef, over more expensive Aussie or NZ beef (actually some of the worst), that I've eaten. Though a lot depends on prep & cooking. So easy to ruin a good steak.

As long as those in control are making huge profits from fossil fuels, nothing will change. It's a very very slow works in progress. Way to slow to ward off what GW/CC folks are predicting will happen if common sense isn't used soon. But then, the people yelling the loudest, aren't using solar at home or driving EVs either. Hypocrite come to mind ... som naa na

Ditto ... as the one spirit I'll drink straight up. Tequila, Rum, Vodka all gets mixed with something. Only thing close to straight, would be a flavored Martini. Good luck finding. I think I saw it in Vientiane, Laos.

Floridians may actually have o practice responsible sex. No more abortions of convenience. Should fit right in with Christian values ... or not. Good thing half the state is probably past child bearing age. Still get their freak on with no worries ... except maybe throwing their back out ???? 12 of the 19 million shouldn't have to worry:

They already threw jabs at each other, knowing they'll be vying for the same nomination, if DeSantis decides to throw his hat in. Personally I think anyone will is crazy to run against Trump for the nomination. DeSantis would benefit greatly by waiting till 2028. I don't see Biden running or winning against Trump. If he can even stitch thoughts together for a couple sentences in debates. Both or either could krap out or have a health oops before next election.

More rain & cooler temps works for me ... send some of that our way. Come on, OZ ain't that far away. Hmm, need a major change is winds.

Not putting it in any context, simply agreeing with it, as surely, they know, can guess better than me. But they do seem to have the same faith in humans as I do ... 'unlikely' being the key take away. So I should worry (have enough grey hair already) or be concerned, if they don't think anything will change. I also won't mention, all these folks that are concerned, don't have solar or drive EVs .... oops, I did anyway. Oh well ... continue on without me, as I can't even seem to be allowed to agree with y'all. What context ? ... and I thought it was self explanatory. Y'all have nice day

And then there is this little tidbit ... ,,, got to live the 'theoretically & unlikely' part. Along with this little tidbit, IF things happen to 'slow' the rise, get to save a whole 0.3°C, I'm leaning toward the above photo ... 'unlikely to happen'

Just commenting on their now, very silly, cooling concern. Which confirms, to me anyway, yes, it's getting warmer, but they still don't know 'exactly' how, why when and now where it will all happen or what true effect it will have. Or are y'all missing the ever present, in every doom & gloom scenerio, the 'it could trigger' .... 'may happen' .... 'possible bla bla bla'. Not reading ... 'in year 2033, the gulf stream/NAC will cool and the UK will have bitter cold weather all year. Just the usual .. ''it could trigger' .... 'may happen' .... 'possible bla bla bla'." Pretty sure that's called an escape clause when it doesn't happen. Only one thing for certain ... Just that it won't be in my life time, and is all I care, or don't care about.

I didn't think my 'knowledge' is any different than those scientist, since pinching the #s from them. Do they not predict a 'possible' temp rise of about a 1°-1.5°C over the next 100 or so years. I'm not stating anything different, just that I don't care. If that temp rise causes you great concern, then feel free to worry away at your leisure. It doesn't concern me. Same as those rising seas, as we won't be oceanfront for 9000 yrs, I think I calculated at the silly rate of rise, they're predicting.

You still don't seem to understand, I just don't care about a 1°-1.5°C 'possible' rise in temp (which has leveled off last 6 yrs), but 'MAYBE' temp rise in the next 100 yrs, that I or my daughter won't even be around for. So either one of us will not be able to say ... "see, I told you". I'm not going to notice if it's 36°C instead of 35°C next year, 5 yrs or 10 yrs away. It's all the same .... feels like ... DAMN HOT.
