I've never done this - can't drink coffee anymore :(. But you could make your coffee bags with your favorite ground coffee. Google up "empty tea bags".

The sealed Biodome turned out not to be completely self-sustaining, IIRC. Very interesting tour, recommended if you are ever out that way. It is still being used for various research projects.

That's all true. But it still needs to pencil out somehow, unless the community has some kind of sugar daddy.

Also correlates with increasing income equality. Just sayin'.

Money. It probably wouldn't pencil out for them if there were fewer units on that particular piece of land.

Long-time user of StarWalk on my iphone. There are others, but I stick with what I know!

Yup. Dump more energy into a system and entropy - i.e. chaos - increases. It's the law! "Normal" weather is becoming a thing of the past.

You know it hurts to see that. I can't imagine how desperate you'd have to be to stay in a filthy hulk like that. I also can't imagine owning something that expensive and just dumping it. Thanks for posting this.

Personally, I find it easier to keep warm than to stay cool, so I would be very interested in this paint. However I doubt it is the kind of paint you could simply brush on...

Like all legumes, soy contains sugars, protein, and fat. Paulette may have issues with one, two, or all three of the components. Figuring out which is a process of elimination. The process may or may not be worth it to her. Does she also have problems with ordinary beans, or is it just soy...

I use the Doody Bags. Once that inner bag is sealed, there's no odor that I can detect. I can typically get three uses before I need to dispose of it. I can usually plan things so that I don't need to store the sealed bag for long. But if I need to, I just pop into any plastic bag until I can...
