There are massive differences in the GHG emissions of different foods & "local" isn't always best for the environment.

This chart continues to be a great reference I return to in my work. Source: ourworldindata.org/food-choice… #science #climate #food

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Well, there are a lot of reasons people prefer local foods besides the GHG costs of shipping. “Local” is usually also shorthand for smallIer, farmer-owned rather than corporate, more diversified, and more sustainably farmed. All of which worth supporting. But I guess it is worth noting that plant foods are still low GHG impact even if they travel a long way by freighter.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

what's misleading about these charts though is people use them to confirm "eating beef is killing the planet" so
you need to give the full context before mindless people start badgering everyone.... At 0.2% C02 the plants die. so.... you need a base load of GHG. We wouldn't want it to keep going up but we don't want it to drop either. the reality is its not as bad as people are making out

I'm running a 2-day workshop in Manorhamilton, Ireland on sensors and systems for art. The technical process will be to create a flow from human-> sensor-> controller-> microcomputer-> screen.

On the theory side, I'll be presenting an overview of FLOSS/open source technologies and their benefits to artists.

Hi @ephemeral
This looks very interesting but Ireland is a bit far for me. I like making sensors too: static.mamot.fr/media_attachme…

@vertenote Nice. The video doesn't load for me but just had a look on your page here.

We probably won't get around to making sensors, but will definitely explore a range of the ones that exist.

The neural networks used in machine learning are loosely based on how the human brain works. As if the human brain was the only intelligence worth using to think up technologies.

I'm building an #AI with a linked database structure based on a lichen's symbiotic being. Why? Who knows...I guess I just want to try. I like the possibility of magic.

Paraphrasing Andrew Adamatzky: if we can understand the language of other living creatures, we can understand ourselves better.

(that Adamatzky reference, in conversation with Merlin Sheldrake, is a very nice conversation: yewtu.be/watch?v=c-LIVCGMD-E )

Whole bunches of songs from the 60s I discovered much later. They were a little before my time. I was in grade school.

So much poetry in much of it. I don't think young people today are incapable of this. I just don't think the poetic ones get sufficient support to be heard.

I did not know that both Deimos and Phobos are basically odd shaped lumps, not rounded balls like Luna. It raises the question as to why our moon is more or less spherical in the first place, and so too, apparently several other satellites of other planets. Why do they have moons at all, and why are some round? Gravitational forces? Wear and tear of an abrasive 'atmosphere' extending far from the planetary mass? Snagged masses that just happened to be passing by?

Remember when #LimeWire was cool?

Yeah, this them now 🤮

in reply to Ren

They still exist?

Actually that's not Limewire by the looks of it, so it seems like the name is being reused against the wishes of the original founder.
