I'm holding out for the promise of the three day work week.

Thought I read in a similar article that the Atlantic currents are slowing as well, which normally moves air around, and so it's just sitting on Europe.

And that this is only going to get worse with that current in collapse?

This is what I was thinking. We've always been a species that has had to navigate, whether it's large distances, or even if in settlements, we would still have to navigate trails and pathways and get around, and know our surroundings.

Might be interesting to compare the rates of people who hike frequently, or mountain bike (both require memorizing trail systems, somewhat similar to our species previous lifestyles.) Even FPS games like Doom might trigger this.

I'm not super close with a lot of riders, but I have been in the same riding communities for 20+ years, and while I hear about people having various health issues, other degenerative diseases, passing away, etc, I don't think Alzheimer's is one I ever hear of.

Conversely, I wonder if they'd find higher rates among sedentary people, who hardly leave the house/work, or only ever travel short distances.

Isn't this standard practice by the US military in foreign states for dealing with their garbage at military bases?

Can't be that bad then, residents should toughen up. /s

Err this isn't practically true.

Yes, you can excrete protein in urine, but it's usually not in healthy people. And it's not how you want to get rid of excessive protein.

More often it's turned to body fat, it's very easy for your body to covert protein to fat.

Try adding six scoops of protein powder to your diet every day. Guarantee you'll put on heaps of body fat. You won't be peeing it out, unless there's something terribly wrong with you.

Yes, and again, if eating adequate calories from a variety of sources, it's nearly impossible to be deficient in protein. That means all the essential amino acids. Pretty much every plant-based food contains all the essential amino acids, it's not hard getting them.

That's why "protein deficiency" diseases are nearly non-existent in people eating sufficient quantities of food.

This is my line of thinking.

If I were to do what they did, I'd probably be facing charges.

AI does it? Ooopsies!

WTF.

You know, if this was the cost of screwing up this royally, we'd probably see a little more care.

What this guy probably endured in prison as well, they don't treat pedos kindly.

And the actual pedo presumably is still free.

Absolutely disastrous on all accounts.

When your daily life becomes smoke-fill heatwaves, flooding, or similar climate-fueled disasters with failing electricity - yeah, what they've been telling us to do will be easy peasy.

And yes, I live it. Vegan over 35yrs, I don't drive or travel, and consume very little/ I've sent one trash bag to the landfill in the last half decade. I'm actually quite happy, because it's not all that shit in your life that brings happiness. That's the biggest lie of all.

Your wish is my command...

And it's going to be a hell of a lot worse and much more expensive and damaging to human society than having to 'minimize your carbon footprint'. That was actually the easy and pleasant option.

You failed to read Canada's boreal forests are larger than the EU, and without roads.

No one's ever 'cared' for the vast majority of these forests, and no one's ever lived in them either.

The fucking planet is too hot, and what were fairly cool and damp forests are now turning into tinder sticks.

The 'greens' have been lobbying for decades to stop and reverse global warming. It's people like you trying extremely hard to ignore reality that makes any progress impossible. Because you insist it's a park that isn't being raked.

Are soundproof rooms in homes commonplace?

I've lived in very quiet neighbourhoods of Victoria, BC most of my adult life (since 1994). In the last decade, I moved to Vancouver for 3yrs, and the thing that stood out most to me was the traffic noise.

You couldn't escape it. I was always pretty central in the city, with major roadways within a few blocks. There was always that noise in the background, day and night.

That said, I don't know how you can separate the impacts of pollution from noise, since in a city environment they go hand in hand.

A quiet, non-traffic neighbourhood is inherently going to have less pollution than a neighbourhood with major traffic in all directions around it. You could probably 'discover' that lung cancer has a connection with noise in this instance. (Or inhaling..haha)

I don't think the noise is great for our health either, but seems more likely pollution would be a culprit, if there actually is a correlation.

Guess who's getting a pardon! And probably a medal of freedom as well.

Well to be fair they're still talking about it about Biden.

But turn a blind eye to Trump's end of this. But it was never about any of these issues anyway, since they're all false as well. It's just sad, petty people and their sad, petty leader lashing out.

I don't think it's terribly common in Canada either for huge portions of the population to be without power. Remote areas, sure. But not 100,000's of people. Or even 10'000's.
