Very interesting but the article - for me - was too scarce on details of this farming system so I took to google. For anyone who wants a TLDR: This is basically a combination of "forest farming" and "terraforming/re-wilding"

  • forest farming uses a mix of different plants with different grow heights so the available are isn't just fully utilized in 2 dimensions but the third as well. This mixing avoids many issues with monocultures, and better protects the ground against the sun.
  • the second aspect is using different stages of plants, first to reclaim dead land with primitive but hardy "pioneer" plants, follow them up with "bioaccumulator" plants that have higher needs but are excellent at enriching the land with biomass before culminating in plants that have the highest needs but also support the most diversity and are most productive.

We made delicious Jambalaya Tuesday evening. Such a great dish! Tasty and you're basically just throwing ingredients in a pot and make sure they don't burn...

An older more polluting car migth not be the better option. But if the new car is one of those giant murde boxes then it's not going to be an upgrade either.

Remove? No. Overcome? We're already doing it.

Our society is far more accomodating than it has ever been. Different sexes, ethnicities, skin colors, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities and whatnot enjoy more acceptance and equality now than ever before. Something like the EU - a voluntary alliance of this size - would have been unthinkable probably just 100-200 years ago. And for all its flaws the participating nations have grown closer through it.

We still got ways to go particularly internationally and we must be ever vigilat against those that want to drag us backward but the progress is undeniable.

So producing them and shipping them around the globe needs to be reduced dramatically. So that point still kinda stands?

The supply side is the wrong place to tackle this problem though. If you limit the amount of new cars that may be produced, people will simply drive their older ones for longer.

Yeah. Just pipe it to /dev/null

As much as that one kiffer in my building bothers me with his constant smoking I think it's amazing that we're at a point now where the police basically have to give the drugs back and we even have some places with a legal pilot program.

Yes your honor, the whole department got together to ensure the confiscated material was indeed incinerated. Do you happen to have a snack with you?

to each their own. I'm just happy there will be a choice

If you integrate the digital into an analog game, it's no longer an analog game. It's now a video game with a physical dongle. Looking at you LoTR:JtME!

In some places they only allow morning deliveries, then for most of the day cars are banned. This means shops can still easily stock up while keeping the area free of traffic when people are out and about.

Another strategy is not allowing through-traffic by installing modal filters. Which means you're only gonna drive in there if you actually need to go there. Basically the cul-de-sac idea from suburbia but without the sprawl that pulls everything apart and without restricting bikes and pedestrians to the same convoluted labyrinth.
