I can see how the post got mirrored automatically and they lost track of it, sure, but remember that he posted the damn thing in the first place. All he had to do was to choose, for once in his life, to not be an asshole.

Second this. I've found that a "power soak" works pretty well and makes it feel a little less arduous.

Just bring the dried peas to a boil for a minute and then heat off and soak for an hour (instead of overnight or whatever). I time this so I can walk the dogs while they soak. Then pressure cook -- I try to do this on a night when we have leftovers so I'll just reheat those and eat while they're cooking -- and then blend everything up and I've got enough fresh hummus for a week.

Takes about two hours, but fits into my nightly routine very easily at it's really only 10-15 minutes of active time cooking.

scientifically proven ecological collapse

This is a pretty specific thing, but the general "we're all doomed" vibe is definitely not unique to today. Boomers and older had the threat of nuclear annihilation looming over them, and before that... well, disease and famine and death and destruction due to war have historically been the norm.

Imagine how you'd feel living in the Americas in the 16th or 17th centuries and either watching the destruction wrought by European settlers firsthand or, maybe worse, watching your peers die en masse of the diseases introduced by those settlers. Imagine living in Eurasia in the 13th century and watching the Mongol army sweep through.

None of this is to say that today's challenges aren't real and serious. Just that we're not the first to face such challenges.

Should be doable with artificial harmonics -- finger fret 1 with the left hand and use the right hand to pinch harmonic at fret 13 while you pluck normally using the rest of your fingers.

Lenny Breau used this sort of technique a bunch, he's worth checking out if you're not familiar!

Yowsa! That's cold.

That said, ground-source systems have been used to good effect in climates like that! But, of course, do what's right for you 🙂

You might not be totally out of luck:

• More modern units do pretty well down to -20f.
• Ground-source systems don't care about air temps (but are more expensive)

High school. I remember watching the news while eating breakfast and feeling the shift from "wow it's crazy that a plane hit a building" to "oh shit" as more reports came in.

I lived in rural Nebraska at the time and it all felt very far away. None of my teachers interrupted class with it as I recall (I know quite a few people had that experience).

Maybe so — I think that's kind of the fun of it though 🙂

Yes!

But there's a catch.

22 seconds -- I tripped over Savagely attack and had to fill it from crosses, but the rest went in pretty smoothly.

Yeah, our and driver- and car-manufacturer-friendly policies have a measurable impact on the safety of non-car users of public infrastructure.

Not a great example IMO.
