@Freedompath I was disheartened with the comment you made "I can’t agree with this idea"....I assumed you were referring to my idea about the more crowded it gets the more pathologically disturbed we get...or the OP's idea that we're "walking wounded, every person (is affected by) anxiety or grief".
Both are strong, and scientifically backed assertions, I'm afraid.
And fixing it is simple; we need to reject our "growth is good" mentality.
The sooner we get to ZPG the happier we'll be....proven in '62 by the article Calhoun wrote...and many others. Perhaps you recall Alvin Toffler's "Future Shock"...? He said the same.

Robecology replies on May 21, 2019:
@AnonySchmoose BTW - I did the math. The data you shared is not correct.
110,000 MPH is 30.556 miles per second (divide 110,000 MPH by 60 minutes per hour, then again by 60 seconds per minute).
Going at that speed would take a lot longer than 20 years.
Light travels 186,000 miles per second - so 30.556 in to 186,000 - 6,087.18 times
So multiplying this times 4.5 light years - the distance to A.C., the time to get to Alpha Centauri would be 27,395 years...not 20.
To get there in 20 years The ship would have to go 1/5 of 186,000 miles per second, or 37,200 miles per second.

It's simple math.
We're growing - the world's resources: fresh air, fresh water, food, places to live, are not.
The soil is being depleted. The minerals. Fresh water, all grow less available, more costly every day.
While the "Green Revolution" of the 1980's (Norman Borlaug) is feeding more people than ever, housing is not keeping up with the pace of growth.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug
Today 384,701 people will be born and 156,936 people will die, resulting in a net gain of 227,765 humans (give or take a few thousand).
That's an increase; birth minus deaths, of 158 per minute.
This year 140 million babies will be born and 57 million people will die. This year's growth will be only 83 million (1/4 the population of USA).
And we know how to fix this...we have the tech to fix it; all we need is the awareness and willpower.
it's called the Green New Deal and intense, focused, family planning.

Presumably , the red color is due to iron content ?
Robecology replies on May 21, 2019:
Oh yes...in fact; there's an interesting story behind how early phytoplankton made the oxygen necessary to precipitate iron oxide out of the then iron-rich ocean waters, starting about 4 billion years ago.
Earth was just losing it's CO2 (thanks to the phytoplankton evolution) and it was that was first taken out of being dissolved in the (then) hot oceans by these primitive organisms...which settled in to the huge, red sediments and rocks we have world-wide - that created the iron ore that we were able to harvest for our industrial revolution.
If it weren't for these primitive ocean-plant-like organisms (not true plants), we not only wouldn't have oxygen, we wouldn't have had iron.

I'm not sure what I said to offend her;
I made sure I was just expressing my opinion;
I think it was a "classy-sexy" image of a woman; I said she's beautiful, nice figure, but I felt sad sorry for her having to deal with the pain of needles and the enduring nature of the skin stains. I think I did use the words "foolish" but that's my opinion; - you've made a fair point. I said nothing insulting.
Again, just my opinion...I have friends who love them; and they know I don't.

Unless you know you've made a mistake, and you're being defensive about them. Then go ahead...rag on me....I can take it!

Sorry ladies; I'm offended by "d**k" jokes....and I'll never post nor share "c**t or p***y jokes - which I'm sure you find offensive, and hard to "ignore" ...as you suggest.
We should avoid all such tacky jokes, IMO.

This is a competitive culture and unlike companies with huge funding reserves or incredibly high margin business models, Amazon is at heart a retail company where margins are slim by the nature of our business. On account of that we need to work hard: people who can't compete are weeded out the same way they are in any other highly competitive company. Amazon's demonstrated success and explosive growth are indicative of our success in our corporate culture. It seems like this person wasn't cutting it."

What makes a difference is

2. Amazon has fast delivery
3. Amazon has a huge workforce.
4. There's always going to be some who work below par, get fired, complain about conditions, and
5. There's always going to be many willing to take their place if they can't hack it.
6. Amazon is changing the way we shop for goods we need. They save us time, gas, and pollution.

They require you to lock up your phone, and not stand still.
They keep camera tabs on you to make sure there's no product theft.
But I hear/read the pay is damned good.
Whenever there's openings there's long lines of applicants.

Just made some fresh basil/garlic/walnot/EVOO pesto myself....will have it on a small piece of bread (watching carbs) tonight with my chili!
Robecology replies on May 18, 2019:
@Looking4-Others Olive oil and garlic are great anti-mold, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial foods...I think as long as you keep it refrigerated (near 35-36º ) you're good for weeks, if not months. If you have extra oil, just cook up some pasta and stir that in with the pesto mix...the extra oil will be soaked up by the pasta - just remember that's a lot of calories...make the portion small - or you will put on weight very easily from a pesto-pasta meal!).
I found this;
Pantry Fridge
Pesto (sold unrefrigerated, unopened) Best-by + 1 – 3 months
Pesto (sold unrefrigerated, opened) 7 to 10 days
Pesto (sold refrigerated, unopened) Use-by + 7 days
Pesto (sold refrigerated, opened) 5 – 7 days
Pesto (homemade) 4 – 5 days
Please note that the periods above are rough estimates.
How To Tell If Pesto Is Bad
There are a few things to look out for when it comes to spoiled pesto. Of course, there are the usual suspects, like mold or any other organic growth. Look for it on both the surface of the sauce and the inside of the container. The second classic sign of spoilage is an off or rotten smell. If the sauce doesn’t smell fresh like it usually does, it’s past its prime, and you should discard it. Next in line are the basil leaves. If they’ve changed color from green to brownish, it’s a good indicator that the pesto should be discarded. If everything about the sauce seems okay, it should be fine. Give a small amount a taste and decided based on that if it’s good enough to use. If not, discard it.

Robecology replies on May 18, 2019:
@AnonySchmoose Thanks. Solar, hydro, wind and battery technology's worst enemy is heat; so they're becoming "mesothermic" (neither heat producing nor heat absorbing).
Any research to improve them is almost always focused on reducing the heat; and China is years ahead of us and Germany in this area.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_China
Solar panels that face the sun are almost "endothermic" - heat absorbing"....but the net heat in-out is neutral, at best, and there's a lot of exothermic processing to make them.
But "Thermic" a key root word that energy physicists work with constantly.

@DotLewis LOL! When I finally decide to "toss" this chocolate (or mix it in my next batch of "muscle brownies" ) I'll feel better...and the weight decline will begin.
My "muscle brownie" recipe is simple; any brownie mix, but fortified with pecans, dried cranberries, papaya, and pineapple, chocolate laying around, a cup of oatmeal (pureed to a flour) and a few scoops of protein (whey) powder. I also use only egg whites....pure protein....not the yolks (far more calories in the yolks...and little protein). Once done I cut the results in to one-inch "cubes" for diet control.

Death is a sad topic. Often a taboo one. We just don't like talking about it....I'm guessing because of our eventual demise being so certain. But Richard Dawkins came out with a short story....a "meme" if you will...that gives me comfort....
Robecology replies on May 15, 2019:
@LiterateHiker Sorry, that's a clear misinterpretation on your part.
I'm guessing you're just not familiar with Richard Dawkins.
Here's Dawkin's take on those who criticize pro-abortion people as 'murderers";
" You can sort of see how these people could come to their warped conclusion (that abortion is murder).
They honestly and sincerely believe that abortion is murder.
The right way to answer them is not to say that a woman has a right to do what she likes to a part of her own body.
They will simply deny the premise and accuse her of murder.
The right response to people like “RightWingRebel” is show them they are being illogical, speciesist and – oh dear – really rather stupid."

I saw bison/buffalo ground meat for sale recently at Aldi's...about $6-7 a pound, 95% lean. Pretty closely priced to similarly lean beef.
Bison/buffalo is finally coming down to competitive price levels.
When I was out in Montana last year, I got in to a discussion with a major beef grower there.
He said buffalo were definitely cheaper to raise, but "butchering" them required expensive equipment because they basically have no neck; so it's hard to. "Lock them in" to a butchering brace.

I agree with Maher...if you get obsessive-compulsive about comic books/comic movies...it's not that you're refusing to grow up"....it just that your a sad, obsessive-compulsive person....

@altschmerz Don't get me wrong; although I'd never put A...hole status on Bill,
I still enjoy MAD magazine,
I have fond memories of Charlottes' Web, Tom and Jerry, and Cinderella (lest we forget Snow White and the 7 dwarfs and Pinnochio) -
I just don't obsess over them like Bill's critique points out about the obsessive-compulsive Stan Lee superhero comics devotees.
Be well!

Saving - is what you do to be remembered. The more lives you "impress" the more your memories will be "saved".

Love it.Even if it is legal in Canada I love the idea of legal everywhere.People get killed elsewhere because of drug dealing or possesion.

And I hope you'll soon have lots of evidence that it's a win-win for your nation.

Boiling hot cofffee, none better. lol

Yes...mom used the percolator pot in the 50's and 60's ....then the drip technique (actually older) became vogue because the water didn't have to be boiled to death.....
Robecology replies on May 13, 2019:
@HankSherman Yes; I recall that percolated flavor; I started out as an "extra sweet/extra light" coffee lover....I can even recall sipping that first cup of black unsweetened, thinking "WTF"? now I do enjoy it black, one teaspoon of sugar. I recently had to go to half decaf (blood pressure)...but it's all good....

Are all women able squirt,or is it a gift?!
Robecology comments on May 13, 2019:
A woman who has good uterine wall muscles...who's generally fit and healthy....who also has powerful orgasms - combined with enough secretions - will give a woman the power to "squirt". It depends also, on how "turned on" she is...of course. Too many variables to ask that question and get a ...
Robecology replies on May 13, 2019:
@RoyMillar I imagine there's still women out (and even a few men?) there that get excited by being submissive, even abused. I hear/read that folk who knew only abusive/loving parents seek this out in relationships...so I agree; there must be women (and men) that get ultra turned on this way. Too kinky/extreme for me.

Why I'm Pro-Choice
Robecology comments on May 13, 2019:
Women won't have to chose once they're given family planning tools generously, unrestrictively.
Why don't they see that by fighting "family planning"...because to them that's against "god's will"....they're also encouraging the desperate turn to abortion?
Robecology replies on May 13, 2019:
@Cutiebeauty I totally agree;
I'm just talking to the closed-minded anti-abortionists who also restrict family planning tools...
Basically; the more family planning is available, the lower the need for abortion. I wasn't suggesting nor implying that "choices" be taken away.
Notice the graph of reasons why a woman seeks abortion. Sad to think so many men want to restrict a woman's choice.

@LucyLoohoo Having taken my 1st wife to get an abortion back in the 70's
But; having said that; you're right; I can only offer a male POV.
I've made my points and shared the data to back them up.
Apparently that offends you...so I'll just stop the commenting.
