Juglans Nigra (eastern black walnut) which is probably the most widespread walnut in north america, though there are like a half dozen other species.
Probably also what you’d see labeled “American walnut” in Europe. They taste stronger than juglans regia (eurasian walnut), but the shells are way harder, so it’s trickier to grow as a crop.
Looking at walnut jam, it looks like it might be a lot of work, but maybe I’ll try next year. https://foragerchef.com/cooking-with-green-walnuts/
This is a good video on it. Around 12:30 specifically goes over the old British man version.
You ever hear a posh British man from the early-mid 1900’s talk? The US valley-girl vocal fry has nothing on CS Lewis.
Finnish is probably the most deep-fried language, though.
Didn’t realize that! I just unchecked some of the things I don’t care as much about. Guess I could have just slid them down the priority list.
after every statistical review over the last hundred years of reviews of statistical data, your claims do not bare out.
Can you link one of many statistical reviews that you are mentioning?
Is that like a fork of StreetComplete (or the other way around)? My problem with street complete is that it decides priorities for you in terms of what info to ask you for. Like I dont care much about reporting road surfaces and lane lines, but I’d really like to contribute to mapping of hiking/biking trails, and things like water sources. I know you can do that kind of thing via web interfaces, but I like the way street complete makes it easy in an app.
I suspect that the accuracy of such devices likely won’t be able to outmatch the built-in mechanisms your body uses to optimize hydration (i.e., thirst). Sodium is a little trickier, but honestly, most people dont need to worry about sodium until you get to full day events, and in that case, you also have cravings for salt when you need it.
Best thing that I think you can do is weigh yourself naked with any flasks/food before a run, and with any empty/partially consumed flasks/food after a run. Just make sure to dry your body off as well as possible. It’s probably only worthwhile on your longest runs where you might lose a couple kilos of sweat. Theoretically, you also exhale mass of co2 from whatever calories you burn, but that should be minimal compared to your sweat.
Good article. He keeps focus on the transit itself, which is certainly a stylistic choice, but I can’t help but mention that there are a couple things I’d add to an article like this.
Transit can obviously be expensive, but even expensive transit is monumentally cheaper than roads. The example of the Toronto subway expansion serving 61k people for $344m works out to $5,639 per person. In this comment, I calculated the cost per person for roads in a random rural county at $432,000 per person.
He lightly touches on this, but often a huge driver for cost is the automatic assumption that transit cannot touch an existing right-of-way being used by car traffic. If you start with the assumption that you can’t just take a couple lanes away from a road to build something at grade, you’ve likely already upped the cost by an order of magnitude. The cost of the decision to preserve car travel lanes should not be considered a cost of the transit project, it’s a cost of the personal automobile project.
Velosock is a brand I’ve seen. It’s more meant for sheltering bikes on a car carrier, so they are more conformal to deal with wind. They are really expensive, and the normal versions aren’t even water resistant. The mid-level version is water resistant (but not water proof). The most expensive version is allegedly waterproof, but it’s hard to make a stretchy fabric waterproof, and it needs to be stretchy to fit a variety of bikes and be able to withstand wind loads.
I think it wouldnt be too hard to DIY a cover that would be good for a parked bike. Something like a silnylon fabric is very lightweight/packable and plenty waterproof. For example, I have a poncho I made from 1.2 osy (42 gsm) silnylon that I think would work well for a bike tarp. You could just do a single seam to make a square tarp and put some grommets on the corners for ~$50. Should weigh ~300 g.
Part of the problem, though, is that rain means 100% humidity, and even if you’ve covered the bike, there will likely be condensation on the metal.
Yes, but there is incredibly strong evidence that mask wearing does reduce transmission rates. I haven’t looked (so definitely correct me if I’m wrong), but I suspect that lid closing likely does not have strong evidence for decreased transmission.
One factor that I think likely weighs heavily into this is that public toilets, where you could be exposed to particles from a stranger dont have lids usually, and they have a much more violent flush, while home toilets are mostly just used by your own household.
It looks like Colorado has an actual management plan for it. I guess they have a big chunk of the state where the economy relies on hunting. Hopefully the reintroduction of wolves does some help with it there, too.
Yeah, the real “aircraft carriers” (nimitz class) are way too big. There are several smaller classes of ships that are similar to other navies aircraft carriers that legally are not considered “aircraft carriers” in the US because they only carry VSTOL aircraft or rotor craft. Those get really close to small enough, basically enough to get to Montreal, but still too big to make it to lake Ontario.
I live somewhere that “doesnt have cwd” despite confirmed cases right across a geographically meaningless border. A sickly, relatively young deer dropped dead with no signs of trauma last summer on my street. I tried to report it to see if I could have it tested, and I was given contact info for the state biologist. I reached out, but they never got back to me.
I guess there’s no confirmed cases if you don’t confirm cases.
Does it cost money for you?
Yeah, thats why I specified it was just in the coating. Like the spangle in galvanized metal where you see grains with the naked eye.
As someone who is a mosquito magnet, I’ve always thought that people adapt to their local mosquitos. I used to get lots of bites, and they would itch, but not leave much of a welt. Then I moved across the country, and started reacting more to the local mosquitos here. Now I dont react much to my local mosquitos, but when I visit where I grew up (or visit another country) I react much more substantially.
Sounds like they dont understand how the great lakes shipping works. Obviously, portions pass through the great lakes where you could stick to either countries waters, but the rivers connecting the lakes (and the st Lawrence seaway) have portions that can only be transited through Canada (like the welland canal), but there are also portions that can only be transited through the US.
Restriction of trade on the great lakes would be dumb, and it would hurt everyone, but I can guarantee it would hurt Canada more because most Canadians live on the great lakes.
It’s a real tricky problem. In most places, humans (via hunting, but also car) are the only predators for deer, so if humans stop hunting them, the problem only gets worse.
The solution is also not reintroducing predators like some of the anti-hunting crowd would have you believe: you aren’t going to get a stable wolf pack in suburban Pennsylvania.
The best solution is probably a radical shift in hunting legislation. Many regulations exist simply to make hunting more difficult. Some regulations, like the existence of hunting seasons were useful before technology to monitor populations really existed, but now we have trail cams, aerial surveys, harvest reporting on phone apps, etc.
It’s easier to take a rifle and go harvest a deer in supposedly gun-averse Australia than it is in most of the places people live in America.
We also need easy, free CWD testing.
In addition to what others people have mentioned (studies showing legitimate benefits to increased protein, greater need to ensure adequate protein intake for those with artificially reduced appetite, and just general dude-bro carnivore keto fads), a huge thing that I haven’t seen mentioned in this thread is the massive dairy surplus.
Very few people drink milk as a beverage compared to 15 years ago, so the dairy industry (with the aid of the government) is trying to get as many alternative uses for dairy going as possible.
AFAIK, that’s also how microprocessors are made; single crystals of silicon, though that’s a metalloid not a metal.
This is also a big part of why manufacturing in space has huge potential. In micro-gravity, crystal formation is less effected. I risk it’s a bigger deal for things like proteins, optics, and other non-metal things, though.
Not exactly. The specific heat of ice is about half of the specific heat of water.
So 6 tonnes of urine at 37°C would take 12 tonnes of ice from -37°C to 0°C.
That’s still ice, though, and it takes way more energy to thaw ice that to warm ice from -37 to 0.
Actually, I’ll just do the math.
6 Mg piss * 37°C * 4.18 J/g°C = 929 MJ
Let’s say ambient ice temp is -20°C.
20°C * 2.05 J/g°C * X + 333.55 J/g * X = 929 MJ
X ~2.5 tonnes of ice melted.
Not too bad. I suspect the change in albedo is the real problem.
