yes, but they're still right. Of course CICO (Calories in, Calories out) is a thing, but the Calories out part (e.g. exercise) does not have as much leverage as he calories in part.

it's just so very easy to take in thousands of calories in 1-2 hours (think burger, fries, milkshake and alcoholic drinks). On the other hand, most people will struggle to burn more than say 800kcal/hr - and that's why we say weight is gained or lost in the kitchen.

I disagree. Just following your source to its conclusion, I think it's safe to say OA (organic agriculture) is better all around:

7.1 Pros • Lower emissions of CO 2 , N 2 O, and CH4 • Enhanced soil and water quality • Lower energy use per land area • Higher energy efficiency per land area 7.2 Cons • Lower soil profile SOC stocks [i.e. how much carbon is in the soil] • Lower crop yields • Higher land requirement • Lower energy production per land area

Your conclusion that we'd have to clear more land for agriculture use if we all switched to OA seems flawed; e.g. here in Germany we use about 60% of agricultural land to raise livestock feed like corn etc (https://www.landwirtschaft.de/tier-und-pflanze/pflanze/was-waechst-auf-deutschlands-feldern). Seems to me like eating less meat and growing idk lentils or beans would not immediately lead to food insecurity.

This is also what the FAO says: yes, OA leads to yield reduction when compared to conventional methods, but not to food scarcity and instead to healthier ecosystems (https://www.fao.org/organicag/oa-faq/oa-faq6/en/).

(sry gotta go, more.later)

meh. nutritional value is about the same, yeah, but that's not the point of organic food. people who claim that eating an all organic diet makes you better are yahoos.

The point of organic farming is that it is just all-around better for the planet, the soil, the organisms therein and less polluting.

Well yeah but also no. I feel like Sam from Wendover went over this quite well recently: https://youtu.be/XK8hpxR_r2Y

I think they mean the destruction of Carthage 😉

ok ok I won't!

not OP but I'm pretty sure they don't mean disposable vapes (which should not be used by anyone ever due to their environmental impact) but rather the herb vaporizers you can use to put ground weed in and then inhale the vaporized contents.

I got one for myself and it's just an all around swell experience.

yo, Just wanted to give you props for remaining far calmer in this discussion than I would've been able to.

France has a very active craft beer scene, they're available Even in small towns. But yeah, Cronenbourg etc is just meh

okay, thanks for the reply! I understand it now.

lots of good advice here. I just want to restate: do yourself a favor and migrate your HDDs over to any solid state drive. Whether that means "classic" SSDs with a SATA-Port or M.2s is your prerogative, but in either case you'll start wondering how you could ever stand that s pinning noise and the vibrations and the slow, slow data transfer.

"Out of nowhere" he says while her albums have consistently reached peak charting positions globally for the past ten years:

I clap really loudly. I cup the fingers off my right hand and bang them into the palm of my left hand. Sometimes people are annoyed by my choosing because it's so loud. But we're clapping? It's supposed to be loud?

Lemmy's bot problem is so much worse than Reddit's.

Sad, but I guess somewhat understandable given the R&D competitors are putting in.

I mean, you're going back a to true/false dichotomy.

How did you jump from a discussion about opposing perspectives on a single, unknowable truth to "one must be right and everything else a lie"?

Very much this. I was an exchange student in the US in 2005 and my US history teacher (yes, their history classes are commonly split between us and "rest of the world") exclusively worked with excerpts from Zinn.

I understood once I leafed through the official textbook. It was about as bad as you can imagine.

So yes, Zinn is far from "objective" or "neutral". It's a deliberate choice because

a) it's supposed to counterbalance the terribly whitewashed school books and b) there's a case to be made that no text, not even scientific ones, is ever truly objective or neutral because reality is a construct.

The latter is a more philosophical debate, but nonetheless an important one. Since there is no single objective truth, you'll usually dare better by considering varying interpretations of "truth" before making your mind up.

In other words: you'll never get the full picture, but if you assemble enough puzzle pieces you increase your chances of understanding the bigger picture, and, more importantly, you'll gain a sense for when somebody is just off their rocker.

A 7 months old random fediverse account is a bot? You know that the entirety of the fediverse is like 0.001 percent of the user base of the social media giants?

That would be money really badly spent on astro-turfing bots.

Kefir is a fermented dairy drink. It's kinda viscous but also fluffy and very white, so yeah. Fitting name.
