In my country there was like 10 wonderful years when almost nobody smoked.
In the last 5-10 years all that got reversed by vaping, it’s everywhere now. Not as bad as smoking though.

It’s about the only thing I miss when I use cpp. Makes code far more legible.
Wake me when they add named arguments.
No they won’t. Many many parts are shared with accords, there are so many parts in junkyards it’s insane. The engines are still being made too.
A 1999 Honda crv can be made to run forever
Use the water pressure to power a turbine generator, then use the electricity from that generator to run a window AC unit
Radiators? Nah, open loop. One end to the faucet, other end to the drain. If you’re on well water it goes right back down to where it came from.
I actually never thought about it until now. I hope it evens out since people who I like can use it too, and I like far more people than I dislike.
I have a setting and characters but no story. And I have stuff that could be part of a story, but I don’t know how to put it together. Like an arranged marriage, and jealousy between someone born to power and someone who fought to earn it. I just don’t know how to make a story that fits all of them in there.
I don’t have all the answers, it’s like saying I want candy and not knowing how to make it.
That said, maybe something like a tax on children, free contraceptives, free sterilization, free abortion. Pay people when they reach 45 if they don’t have kids. Robot caregivers for elder care in a decreasing population.
Sure but all those humans need an insane amount of farmland that dwarfs the amount of land they need for housing. And that’s ignoring meat consumption.
With a huge population, beef consumption is insane and is destroying the world.
With a small population, it isn’t a big deal.
Exactly. That’s insane.
This is why I get so mad when people say “we don’t have an overpopulation problem, we have a resource allocation problem”.
No. There are not supposed to be this many fucking humans. Where the fuck are the animals supposed to live???
We need to return to preindustrial population levels so the animals can too
When I retire I want to hike and camp, cook really nice meals, grow a garden, and make hot rods.
Good. Kids don’t need cell phones, and they really are a huge distraction.
Sure does!
If the rich don’t benefit from a policy, the policy will not be enacted. Turns out this is true internationally as well as locally.
Yeah I can’t believe it. We are “mountain west” (as opposed to pacific west).
Love Bernie but it’s time to move over for someone younger.
Better fire management of national parks. Time to start doing controlled burns.
