Reading up on how quadriplegics cope with a lack of body movement while still eating whole foods is quite interesting.

Study of the gut and mouth microbiomes of thousands of people from around the world raises the possibility that diseases linked to microbiome dysfunction, including cancer, diabetes, and obesity, could be partly transmissible. by MistWeaver80

I have terrible microbiome health and I'm abnormally isolated. So diversity might be a good thing in this case?

You're clearly getting just the right amount of education from social media, news headlines, and movies to make these well thought out and completely logical suggestions.

Thanks! There's some that are built to run higher temps that work fine, but on a wood stove the temps vary too much for the average elements to work reliably.

Reply to comment by 8to24 in U.S. Streams Are Drying Up. Data showed that in the South and West, streamflow droughts got longer between 1951 and 2020, regardless of threshold. Worse yet, droughts in these regions are becoming more intense by Wagamaga

I keep saying we should use recycled plastics to make automated floating solar desalination networks pumping fresh water inland while capturing salt deposits that can be unloaded and contained in dry storage areas.

If we deploy enough of these self-contained networks the rising ocean levels will get impacted and they will slow down the rate at which ocean salinity has been rising, while creating fresh water.
