You'd probably site them on higher ground outside of the flood plane. Add in flood walls, etc. if storm surge is a concern

A go to lunch for me is overnight oats. The night before I throw half a cup of oats and water into a container, add a spoon full of peanut butter, a tbsp of chia seeds, and handful of frozen blueberries

For sure. I think trying to preserve these tools is a bit of a waste of time. But extending their lifespan is always a win in my book

When the damage is presented in spreadsheets and charts its easy to ignore the cost, especially for those pushing the piles of money around.

Ooooh interesting, good to know! I suppose inoculation is a process that is not particularly complex that a localized society could also achieve.

I like to chop it up, fry it with onions, and put it in burritos. Breakfast burritos especially with egg, bacon or sausage, and cheese. It can also substitute for turnip or collard greens in a recipe if you're looking for a place to eat it. Since its more of a bitter plant, you'll want to use it much differently than spinach (whoever told you it tastes like that deserves a stern talking to)

Wait until you get into food preservation!

I'm from a big wind state. It's absurd to me how unpopular wind farms have been among rural folk. It brings jobs and revenue and has a relatively small land foot print. I just don't get why people don't like them, except for culture war stuff :/

 

Hopefully a blow to planned obsolescence

Nuclear could be useful in applications that need a high energy load on-site, like steel, cement, and nitrogen production

These two helped launch the Svalbard seed vault in Norway and protect massive amounts of seed diversity for future use. Not to mention their work on bringing orphan crops back into production to support food security in developing countries.

That's a great point, I didn't consider the tech tree that leads to bikes also makes cars more likely :/

 

Why do alt-history people never focus on infrastructure or innovation? What would have happened had bikes been invented centuries before cars instead of around the same time? How different would the built environment and our culture have looked?

Personally, I think centuries of more established bike use would have created an infrastructure that limits how well cars take off. Cities would have entrenched themselves in a cheap, dense manner of transit.

I could be wrong, lots of dense cities were wrecked by the car when it was commercialized. I'd love to hear any thoughts :)

I definitely recommend looking into some of Dr. Fowlers history, he's such a cool person and his work with Crop Trust was so cool.

The only disease to be fully eradicated, 5 million people can live every year who otherwise would have died had we not defeated this disease
