It’s not just deforestation, especially in Orangutan habitats that are endangered. They are also rife with forced labor, ie slave labor. They lure desperate foreigners with promises of good jobs, baiting and switching them with a life of slavery doing hard, very hard labor, including kids. The families can sometimes bail them out by paying several thousand dollars, a lot of money to these impoverished bangladeshis and Indians and the like.

Many of the desparate migrants that can speak english well are now sold to chinese gangs to run romance scams from slave compounds, a 40 billion dollar a year industry just in S. Asia they figure now, pig butchering and the like.

Need to find one without any palm oil, boycott palm oil.

Also where is the wintergreen?

In rural china their farms traditionally have one, like a tank they route sewage and scraps and whatever, and they pipe off the gasses for cooking and heating and such, as it produces methane and the like.

You can try a swamp cooler, which works best when it’s not as humid, put a beach towel or blanket over an open windown with it’s end in a pot of water, so the water soaks up through it. The evaporation produces a cooling effect. Try to put one in a window the air is coming into.

Would not help here, we get like zero sun for half the year, and surrounded by trees otherwise. I haven’t seen the sun for more than a couple of hours in weeks.

I was told the old batteries aren’t trustworthy when I was going to salvage some from cars getting junked out, but you can get them to work still?

At times I won’t eat until midday, if not until dinner. If I do eat before then, I lose energy, I think it boosts metabolism and energy. I am just not hungry in the morning sometimes I’m not trying to fast per se.

Me too! Way to Lean Into The Stereotype!

I’m very happy for you. My point stands.

The mask is off, they aren’t pretending. We shouldn’t either. We need to respond.

The natives are especially valuable for environmental issues, as their treaties dicatate rights, and they are on the right side of all such issues. But the fed courts are going to hell so that is ending.

I’m against shirts myself. But in the north that only hold for like three months.

What wit! Ha ha.

Shit does burn after it dries. Or after held in anaerobic conditions it produces methane. So the analogy still kind of works.

That said, plato catalogued greek republics and noticed a pattern they all followed, and all have since, it’s just a matter of time. A monarch is overthrown and a republic instituted. That republic in time decays through stages of oligarcic repression, although he breaks it down into specific stages, and in time, a true leader emerges, and rallies the people, and lays waste to the oligarchy, and becomes a sort of king again, which in time decays and a republic overthrows them and starts the cycle anew.

At a point, destroying the oligarchy is worth any cost. We are at that point. The current president is not caesar, but sulla, another stage of oligarchic repression, until a real leader emerges to lay waste to the oligarchy. The time is nigh, and epstein is the key.

Whatcha mean? This makes no sense to me. Or I suspect to anyone with sense unless I misunderstand your seeming point.

Not at all, chinese, Indian, perhaps even Javan shipping all gets a pass under the Iranians. And anyone else willing to play by their rules. It’s Iran’s straits, they have a right to make the rules on it.
