yes, but they're still right. Of course CICO (Calories in, Calories out) is a thing, but the Calories out part (e.g. exercise) does not have as much leverage as he calories in part.

it's just so very easy to take in thousands of calories in 1-2 hours (think burger, fries, milkshake and alcoholic drinks). On the other hand, most people will struggle to burn more than say 800kcal/hr - and that's why we say weight is gained or lost in the kitchen.

jo, bin auch immer wieder überrascht wie von linker Seite der ÖRR als Propagandamaschine diffamiert wird. Like yo, ist nicht alles Zucker, ganz klar, aber das ist imo ein dezidiert rechtsextremen Narrativ das den Staat und die Demokratie unterhöhlt. Den Zorn verdient die Springerpresse definitiv mehr.

I disagree. Just following your source to its conclusion, I think it's safe to say OA (organic agriculture) is better all around:

7.1 Pros • Lower emissions of CO 2 , N 2 O, and CH4 • Enhanced soil and water quality • Lower energy use per land area • Higher energy efficiency per land area 7.2 Cons • Lower soil profile SOC stocks [i.e. how much carbon is in the soil] • Lower crop yields • Higher land requirement • Lower energy production per land area

Your conclusion that we'd have to clear more land for agriculture use if we all switched to OA seems flawed; e.g. here in Germany we use about 60% of agricultural land to raise livestock feed like corn etc (https://www.landwirtschaft.de/tier-und-pflanze/pflanze/was-waechst-auf-deutschlands-feldern). Seems to me like eating less meat and growing idk lentils or beans would not immediately lead to food insecurity.

This is also what the FAO says: yes, OA leads to yield reduction when compared to conventional methods, but not to food scarcity and instead to healthier ecosystems (https://www.fao.org/organicag/oa-faq/oa-faq6/en/).

(sry gotta go, more.later)

meh. nutritional value is about the same, yeah, but that's not the point of organic food. people who claim that eating an all organic diet makes you better are yahoos.

The point of organic farming is that it is just all-around better for the planet, the soil, the organisms therein and less polluting.

Well yeah but also no. I feel like Sam from Wendover went over this quite well recently: https://youtu.be/XK8hpxR_r2Y

Ah yes, the country of "small" and the city of "everyone". Does someone have a link to the original?

I tried to find an actual Forbes article with this graphic, but came up empty.

So far, this thing screams "Source: trust me bro"

That's not to say that Russia doesn't press gang people into their armed forces. I feel like that's been established by now.

In present-day Germany, commercial hops cultivation is pretty much confined between 47.5 - 48.5°, i.e. southern Germany. Do you know why that is?

I was wondering how hops was sourced back in the in colder climates! Like, they brewed beer in fairly northern cities even back then, where hops availability was probably limited. I wouldn't have guessed they sourced it from abroad (here: probably Belgium or NL) rather than omitting it.

Wikipedia in Video Form is a great line! I feel much the same way, but I think that's not the entire picture. Wikipedia is a lot of declarative knowledge (i.e. what things are and Al's maybe why they are), but YouTube is a lot of procedural knowledge for me. That is how to X. My GF and I finally found an apartment. I don't know how to replace broken light switches, but in five minutes YouTube taught me how.

I didn't know how to replace a faucet - now I do. I did not know how to insert a metal screw fitting into the furniture I was constructing - now I do. I wanted to measure our energy consumption, figuring there had to be a way to it it smart/connected and Open Source. YT content creators showed me how.

The list goes oooonnnnnn

2x4s, I guess 😃

but seriously, there's many old buildings in Europe where you probably should consult a statics person before placing a large tub in your bathroom. Just guessing, but if you take a 300L bathtub which alone is a surprisingly light 30kgs and then put two people in it, you have a ~ 400kg load on a very small area

not OP but I'm pretty sure they don't mean disposable vapes (which should not be used by anyone ever due to their environmental impact) but rather the herb vaporizers you can use to put ground weed in and then inhale the vaporized contents.

I got one for myself and it's just an all around swell experience.

Bei Hunden scheint die fleischarme/fleischlose Ernährung durchaus im Rahmen des Möglichen zu liegen.

Auch Ökotest kommt zum selben Schluss.

Selbst Martin Rütter, einer der bekanntesten deutschsprachigen Hundeexperten, hat vor Kurzem seine Meinung zu Veganer Hundeernährung geändert.
