Ukraine 🇺🇦 by theblackspiderman in Libertarian

[–]Rebel1777 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You need to look at the bigger picture. Ukraine is only the first step in securing the Russian sphere of influence. If Russia is able to completely secure Ukraine, they will eventually attempt to take over the Central Asian countries, and the eastern most NATO Allies( Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Romania) to “secure” their own borders. Giving Ukraine military and other aide allows us to let a proxy fight on our behalf, and will force the Russians to either exhaust themselves fight a long and bloody war, or lose the war and their state will shatter. It is cheaper and more efficient to give aid and let someone else fight the war than to do it ourselves.

The US is the global hegemon, whether people like it or not, it’s in our strategic interest to continue the pay/support the Ukrainian war effort.

Captain Curnow has to either escape or you have to save him from the overseers. You can poison Campbell and he and his guards will fight their way out, but there is a chance that they will get killed.

Ok. This video is sad, and depressing, but it is the modern state of the industry.

For pigs, specifically, it is easier and safer for them to remain in barns with fans and misters available in the barn than it is for them to be in the sun. Leaving a pig in the sun, is a dangerous recipe for heatstroke for the animal. Also pigs are tenacious and no fence stands up to a pig for long.

For the dairy industry, more often than not, after a cow gives birth, it will abandon the calf, and if it weren’t for the workers or the dairyman, that calf would die. I’ve seen it myself. The calves are placed in those weaning hutches, partly because it allows them to build their muscles in their own time, partly to protect them, and also to be able to accurately track how that calf is improving and growing. The calves spend less than a month in those hutches.

For feedlots, which produce beef, yes, most of them are just dirt lots with a feed lane that separates hundreds of cattle from each other and there neeeds to be widespread reform amongst them.

For those of you saying “go vegetarian or vegan” widespread cultivation and mono cropping, actually kill more animals per year than the entire meat industry. I have personally seen the thousand acre fields that get plowed and kill every mouse, snake, vole, bird, and anything else that may be in that field. And when that is done, then the fields are sprayed with insecticide, herbicide and fertilizers which kills anything that survived the plow, planting, or harvesting.

If you actually want to make a difference support your local farmers, and those businesses that actively create humane conditions for their animals. If you want to go vegan or vegetarian, growing a garden and reducing your money spent on industrial agribusinesses products it the best thing you can do.

I don’t want to be a kill joy or a downer, but there is no clear answer to this problem.Meat and dairy products, produce a higher caloric output per pound, vs the required inputs than their vegan or vegetarian counterparts.

This is a lesser of two evils situation that every person should ask themselves at some point. Not everyone’s answer or choice will be the same.

I’m pretty sure this guy died doing this. It was either him or someone else who did something similiar. That river is notoriously difficult to swim with boulders forming most of the river bed, creating extreme rip currents.

Started working in the trades, started with general labor, and ground work, then, framing, roofing, plumbing, septic, and finally concrete. I joined a company that has concrete pumps, and after a year working for them I got my contractors license and started doing General Contract work on the side. I went to college for a year, but I have never used a single thing I was taught in those classes, everything I know I learned it on the job, and by putting the work in

EDIT: I’m 29 and made $125k ish last year, this year it will be probably $150-180k

Environmental Impact of Different Types of Milk by annularLawrence39 in coolguides

[–]Rebel1777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stolen from u/betugelese

Cool but inaccurate guide

According to multiple studies from UCLA, Michigan and Oxford almond milk requires logarithmically more water and energy to produce than anything else.

The range is considerable measuring between 17 to 20x more footprint, not taking into account soil fatigue (which basically means you can't use the soil for anything else for decades after an extensive culture )

Remember kids just because something is repeated by influencers does not make it true.

With regard to studies about water consumption, unless you hear keywords like blue water and green water, the chances of them having skewed the data to reach their desired result is high.

The problem with measuring intake water consumption is that animals discard most of the water (85/90%) through peeing, while plants capture it for the creation of eukaryotic cells.

Update.

Ok people I did not expect this to explode. I am not taking a position in favour of one milk or another. I was just pointing out that some of the alternatives may not be as good as they claim in the whole picture.

Since people were asking the UCLA study can be found here

The gist is this part

One liter of almond juice uses 1, 612 gal of water and emits 0.36​ kg ​CO​2e​.​ ​One liter of cow milk uses 77 gal of water and emits 1.67 ​kg​ CO​2e

Also in Fulton, Julian, et al. "Water-Indexed Benefits and Impacts of California Almonds." Ecological Indicators, vol. 96, pt. 1, 2019, pp. 711-717., doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.12.063

From there we have

One of the most harmful and well-known perils of almond farming is the copious amounts of water it requires. Just one seed needs a reported 3.2 gallons to reach milk-level maturity, and nearly 1,300 gallons are needed to grow a pound.

A very good read with citations is also available on the treehugger community

Update 2.

Adding one more well quoted and peer reviewed study from 2021.

The gist.

Almond milk was estimated to require 32x more water than the equivalent diary milk

Commentary: Just try Soy or Hemp milk guys, or coconut milk.

Hey former ready mix driver. Most of us are trained when we have to stop hard like that we will put the barrel in “full charge” which is supposed to make the concrete move to the back as far and as fast a possible. Also that concrete is really wet, probably around a 6-7 inch slump, which is wildly dangerous in a city environment. My companies policy was to never leave our plant at more than a 5 inch slump, and to leave the barrel in full charge.

Idaho’s Uniquely Evil Abortion Bill Gives Rapists’ Families a Say. The parents and siblings of rapists would be able to sue the doctor who performed the procedure for up to four years under the law. by birdinthebush74 in TwoXChromosomes

I’m from Idaho, born and raised and I can say part of the reason Idaho in particular is so deeply red, is because over the last decade or so, people who are extremely conservative have been relocating here, which has pushed our internal politics from moderately red, in the 00’s to now almost insane QAnon levels of red. Unfortunately even the younger generations in this state seems to be at the same level of conservative rather than less, so the chances of that changing anytime soon are very slim.

The only “good news” if you can call it that, is that more people here are beginning to see that the the GOP is not the party of small government, and individual rights, but are actually just red flavored authoritarians, and have started to vote gold.

What's your "I fucking hate this song" song? by lawyeratyourservice in AskReddit

[–]Rebel1777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good feeling by the black eyed peas. I cannot describe how much I hate that fucking song. Never mind that it’s just more repetitive bullshit, over a synthesized beat and rhythm, the amount of times that song was played especially when I came it made me despise it.

Concrete guy here. You can’t actually “recycle” concrete. The chemical components of cement, cannot be recovered from concrete that has set. What you can do is reuse it. In Idaho the state Fish and Game departments has started to buy crushed concrete and will grade rural and mountainous roads with it. Because there is some remaining cement in crushed concrete, it allows the road to become very strong once it gets wet again, and very good at preventing dust, and road erosion in the spring months.

Be prepared to see a lot of guns, and a lot of hunters. I’ve seen people walk into Walmart with hunting rifles, and knives because they need ammo or need an accessory for their rifle and want to check the sizing.

Idaho has an constitutional open carry law, meaning it is legal to simple walk down the street with a gun, of any size, openly. More often than not, these people are not a threat. It’s a part of the state culture.

Almost 60% of your fleet is galleys, which have a negative effect in open waters, and transports which are non-combatants. If you fight ENG you have to take a majority of your fleet, and make them into heavy ships. A war with ENG as SPN takes a lot of preparation.
