I’m about to do a public talk again, so thanks for this advice! The last time I did a sustainable agriculture talk (you’d think this would appeal to liberals), I recounted George Monbiot’s devastating story about the fires in Indonesia, caused in part by slash and burn Agriculture. Well, one woman insisted that “slash…

You’re a bit confused. Even a small change in global temperatures can cause changes in global weather patterns (this is called climate change). We’re experiencing an atmospheric shield right now and the record-breaking temperatures are most certainly partially caused by a wobbly jet stream.
Today also several of the students had to MISS THEIR FRIEND’S FUNERAL to attend the meeting in Tallahassee. I can’t even process that.
Our local meteorologist on Twitter was like, isn’t this wonderful? I don’t know whether to appreciate his cheerful nature or smack him in the head for celebrating the downfall of life on Earth.
This is awesome, obviously, but I suggest carrying a jar of water and soap and a towel. Purell hand sanitizer will do a really good job moisturizing the garbage-bacteria as you spread it on your hands. Also next time your state lets you put stuff on the ballot, propose higher fines for littering. Massachusetts: up to…
Actually plastics, pollution like CO2 and a change in gut bacteria evolution over the past 30 years have all been established as possible causes of weight gain. David Allison has done good work on this front.
Funny coincidence, the comment above yours from Giles I replied to and mentioned I’m in the greys. Was out for a year or so, then apparently did something terrible (not sure what) and back to grey.
Yep, fortunately or unfortunately, I’ve had 2 studies done since 2014. If you can see this comment, let me know and I’ll reply tonight or tomorrow. I was greyed recently, no idea why & it’s as though my comments are invisible even when I hit Reply.
If you think they’re a threat to California citizens does it really make sense to admit that you’re leaving bait for them?
The thing to look for if you’re a Yelp user is multiple one-star reviews come,wining about the same thing. Sure, someone could create six fake accounts and cause the establishment of undercooking burgers, but how likely is that to really happen? I mostly read the bad reviews and check for consistency. Restaurants…
Five star reviews are the most likely to be fake, too. Tip offs: a user with only one review (older users are grandfathered in), generic language, few specifics. Example: I love this dentist! Dr. Smith and his staff always make me feel welcome, they are professionals and they care about their patients! A great place…
How well it protects against hospitalization and death is the most important question, I wish that research was being underscored and funded more this year.

A black lab whipping my arm up into the air with his nose, followed by him sniffing my breast. Trash cans resting on the bathroom sink because the dog owner is afraid her dogs will raid the trash again. A soaking wet toilet, courtesy of a dog lapping from the toilet. My only lunch being wolfed down when I turned my…
Public Service Announcement: The mentally ill are far more likely to be VICITMS of a shooting than the perpetrators of one. Just because this shooter had “mental health problems” or was seeing a therapist, does not mean he was mentally ill. The GOP lay blame at the feet of “mentally ill” in order to get in bed again…
Yeah, I run all winter. Around a 4 mile path at a lake in New England and it’s truly not a problem if you’re dressed right. The biggest challenge in extreme cold (for me, -4F or below) is no exposed skin. They say “wind chill” should instead be called “minutes to frostbite” and that’s the issue.
but there is no statewide law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation
Agreed, and I just wish journalists would spend more time empowering people. Heartbreaking stories are everywhere. Where are the solutions? The lifestyle suggestions? Things that could pack a wallop? I give talks on Agroforestry (just google it, Wikipedia has a perfectly good entry) that could save species and reduce…
I love this. Worth noting, Project Runway had a Muslim designer who went modest and she nearly won the whole competition. Her designs were just stunning.
