Anon: but... but... the Gaza attack was due to 75 years of colonization......!

Me: Well gee, I guess the Armenian genocide ought to be considered in the context of…the previous 1500 years of Armenian Christianity’s existence, and 450 years of non-Muslim Armenians living peacefully under Ottoman rule and paying a special tax in order to do so. And while we're on that subject, I guess the Omagh bombing, which killed 29 people including non-Protestants and non-English people, should be considered in the context of 800 years of British political and military involvement in Ireland. And I suppose the Cambodian genocide has to be considered in the context of centuries, if not millennia, of class warfare which preceded it. Or something.

Fucking. Bull. Shit.

And let's not forget an important fact, immediately after the U.N created the partition, Jordan annexed Palestine (Jordanians and Palestinians are the same people living in different locations). So Palestine never actually technically existed. It was only after the Jordanians got their asses kicked twice in wars they started with Israel that Jordan gave up and renounced the "Palestinians" citizenship. The terrorist Yasir Arafat, in a remarkably successful P.R. move then decided to create this new myth of a Palestinian People with Israel as its homeland.

This is the translated meme that gets passed around in the Arab nations mocking the gullible liberal Westerners like you for falling for Arafat lies.

Now Anon, try to imagine Mexicans get uppity over losing territory to United States of America and begin a campaign of terror against the USA. Mexico launches missiles across the border wall into San Diego, Tuscon, San Antonio and more. They dig tunnels under the border wall and generally make themselves a pain in the ass.

But this time they launched a full scale incursion, took over several border towns, massacred most of the population and took the rest as hostages back into Mexico. They post videos online of raped and tortured hostages, who only barely cling to life. Mexicans now say they will start killing hostages, unless USA abandons New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, California and Nevada and calls on the entire world to join in their crusade.

How do you think the USA would respond to that? Hmmmm?

You can switch countries if you want. Russia took land from Finland, China from Tibet, India and Pakistan have their antics, there’s the perpetual issue of Western Sahara and so on. Can you think of one example, only one example, where the response would be more restrained, if a militarily weaker force did that to a larger, stronger neighbor in such a manner? All it takes is one.

what is the global food supply issue you see with large-scale vegetarianism/veganism? We already move a lot of plant produce around the world.

Animal agriculture is tied directly to the industrial crop production, and taking out a pillar like this has far reaching consequences. That doesn't mean that it can't be done, but what I want from people advocating for a people to switch over to a vegan lifestyle is a set of concrete and material policy and actions that can be done such that you don't have to convince everyone of a particular set of morals to follow them.

For example, it is much easier to be vegetarian across vast swaths India that in siberia or the sahara. This isn't because the people are all that different, but rather traditional cuisine derives from what food is available where people live.

On the level of agriculture, not all land can sustain human edible crop growth. This is why things like nomadic pastoralism exist. Over a large land area with minimal vegetation, a ruminant can take inedible food and convert it to edible ones. This is also what sustains arctic hunting. Reindeer eat, aside from the usual vegetation, lichen for example.

While usually this gets couched as "cultural tradition" or whatever, the real problem with remote/indigenous communities switching over is that of food sovereignty, with secondary problems in logistics. Firstly, although internationally food shipping is actually very economically and environmentally effecient, in remote areas the "last mile" can be a whole lot more than a single mile. You can see the absurd level of prices for imported food and other goods in Alaska for example. When all food production comes from elsewhere, under a capitalist system the disparity will be milked for all it is worth. But there are ways around this, with their own set of externalities. Having a subsidy to reduce grocery prices, perhaps investing in infrastructure so that shipping is cheaper. Another way would be to incentivise people to live near more arable land.

I say all of these pull factors, because when it comes down to it, remote areas also have less force projection. Declaring hunting illegal means someone has to enforce that, when faced between a change like that, people will ignore legislation.

However, even if we do get people to relocate, this comes at the cost of integrating into a society that requires a very different set of skills. Even if we take someone that was doing subsistence farming, putting them into a different environment with different soil and different plants and pests takes time and therefore money to adjust to. Without a careful transition, that could mean having a class of people who are economically disadvantaged because of where they used to live.

But alright. Let's say that we accept these effects. This is not a population that is a majority of the globe so with policy it is possible to overcome. However, we need to touch on how industrial lines work on in arable lands.

Contrary to a statistic I've seen floating around, 86% of global livestock feed comes from food deemed not fit for human consumption. Some of this is coproducts from, say, soybean production, and others are grasses or sugercane scraps. That sort of thing. Only 13% is grain. I will link this study later because its very comprehensive and also tumblr hates showing links on first posting.

But anyway, without these inputs, we will have to find something to do with these agricultural byproducts. This isn't the end of the world, though. Being organic means that often these can be composted and such.

But perhaps the biggest problem is the lack of natural fertilisers from the manure. There are inorganic fertilisers which of course have been integral for feeding modern population sizes, but this is not a perfectly closed loop, meaning that over time we could reach peak fertiliser. Furthermore, thanks to a focus on increasing short term yield, soil quality is degrading from their use, and is slowly making arable land less capable of sustaining life. I can link some more here about that.

But that's not the only way that organic fertilisers can be made. Cities are famously full of shit. It is possible to treat sewage, firstly to retain water, but also to ship out to agricultural lands. This comes with its own challenges, as human waste more readily transfers diseases than animal waste does, and also contaminants from medications or other pollutants like mercury can build up over time, compared to animal sources. This is a technical problem, and not unreasonably difficult to overcome, though.

However, if we do that, that again leaves many animal product sellers without much of a business model and so resistant to change.

So how about those factory farms? A big problem is that as farms get larger and give, say, chickens less room to move around in and such, the feed conversion ratio improves. Factory farm broiler chickens have a FCR of 1.5 to 1.9, whereas backyard chickens could be anywhere from 2.5 to 4 or 5. This isn't a perfect comparison because often this is coming from grains in a factory farm, whereas a backyard type couls be fed kitchen scraps and insect forage. They can be helpful for reducing pests and fertilising local crops, as a part of the same system. This means that a switch away from animal products will result in less plant products.

Finally, there is the issue of nutrition. It is possible to have a healthy diet while vegan, but this requires a source of b12. This can be in the form of a supplement that has been synthesised, or it can be fortified into foods like cereal or milk substitutes. This comes with its own set of challenges, as we will have to vastly increase b12 production, and also deliver it. This can be changed by improving logistical lines again, naturally.

Just an addendun, I also want to point out that the reason why deforestation happens in the amazon is due to economic reasons rather than animal agriculture. Beef ranching is done because of its high export cost, but, although to a lesser extent, this is still done for cash crops. In order to improve this, we would have to affect the relative difference in power between local currencies. But climate policy is slightly tangential.

But that does bring up the question of future technology. Is lab grown meat something that could sidestep a lot of these issues, economic, nutritional, environmental, etc? I don't really know about what that entails. Maybe the effective altruist position for veganism is to fund biosynthesis companies.

Overall, I just want people to take a greater interest in the realities of food production if they want to make prescriptions for how it should be run. Of course, I don't think that the system is perfect as is. I have long talked about the soil quality problem. And I don't think grain feed is best, and that brazilian ranching is good. But things are not so simple. If the whole world was working in tandom it would still take decades, if not centuries, to transfer over to a vegan diet on a societal level.

Figured I'd share this digital Mural I did for my Ecoart class recently about successful activism efforts; the idea was to collect articles that show the less depressing side of environmentalism to inspire hope for activism!

I made two versions, one with the relevant titles and one without so you can see my art and have the context too. You can read the articles listed under the cut!

Submitted Via Google Form:

I want to create an area of land with lots of rain year round (450 earth days). In monthy averages, as low as 1,500mm during 'dry' season and up to 4,000m during wet season for perhaps 36,000mm annual rainfall? What kind of geography, other aspects of climate, or types of life that can naturally live there, as well as what might be need to adapt there? How about natural disasters especially floods or landslides?

Tex: Gimme a second to collate the data you’ve presented here-

450 Earth days of rain/year

1,500 mm = 1.5 m, low point of rain

4,000 m, high point of rain

1.5 m + 4,000 m = 4,001.5 m/year

36,000 mm = 36 m, which ≠ 4,001.5 m

For some comparative data, the “List of weather records § Rain” (Wikipedia) and the engineering topic “Rain Rate” (Science Direct).

I don’t know your daily rate of rain, or seasonal rhythms of high vs low rain rates, so that would need calculating. If you know that, then you can build weather patterns around it. I would ideally recommend comparing your rain rates to real-world locations, and take a look at their position on Earth and related meteorological and geophysical characteristics for your starting points.

Feral: Some geological conditions that would likely need to be met for the amount of rainfall you need without it being just completely underwater:

-4,000 meters of rainfall is enough to literally cover the Empire State Building 10x over and then some or cover Mount Wycheproof, the world’s smallest mountain, nearly 100x over.

-Given that every other measurement is given in millimeters, did you really mean 4,000 meter? 4,000 millimeters of rain a month for possibly half the year is still a whole lot. Mawsynram, India has the highest average annual rainfall a year, and they only have just shy of 12 meters of rain annually.

-There needs to be steep drainage, probably into an ocean.

-That much water also needs to be evaporated back into the air. That means sun, heat, and/or wind.

-The process of the water draining will also strip the topsoil, so even if they tried to grow food during the dry season, they would not have very much luck.

How Stuff Works: Weather

Wiki: Mawsynram

Utuabzu: There's a few geographic features you can use to increase rainfall (I assume you meant 4000mm, rather than 4000m, which I don't think is physically possible). You can make use of mountains to create a rain shadow, forcing the rains that would otherwise have fallen further inland to instead fall on the mountains. Relatedly, you can also put a large desert region behind these mountains to create the conditions for a monsoon cycle.

There are three main monsoons on Earth: the Asian Monsoon (driven by the high pressure system that develops over the Tibetan Plateau in Summer), the West African Monsoon (driven by the high pressure system that develops over the Sahara in Summer) and the Australian Monsoon (driven by the high pressure systems that develop over central Australia, though because of interference from other systems like the Indian Ocean Dipole and the Pacific El Niño-La Niña cycle it is significantly weaker and less reliable than the other two).

In terms of adaptations you can look to real-world regions that experience very high rainfall. Traditional architecture in these regions often involves building on high stilts. Drainage is often a significant concern in wider urban planning, and terracing is often very important for agriculture to avoid soil erosion. Floods and landslides are perennial problems in these regions. If there is no volcanism or some other means to refresh soils, the rain can leech the nutrients from them.

Sorry if this is a bit rambling. I'm on painkillers after having a wisdom tooth out.

Feral: After discussing this further with Tex, I want to add my own thoughts on the math to this idea.

My assumptions:

-Given you called out 450 Earth days for the year but not the length of days or months, I’m going with a 24-hour day cycle and 28-31 days for the month. 30 goes really well into 450, so we’ll say a 15-month year.

-I can’t imagine 4,000m is what you meant given reasons stated above, so I’ll work with 4,000mm.

Starting backwards from 36,000mm, we have

36 = 4x + 1.5y

Given that 4 x 9 is 36, and we need to be able to account for the dry season, x < 9.

36 = 4(8) + 1.5y => a dry season lasting 2 ⅔ months which is not enough to give us 15 months.

36 = 4(7) + 1.5y => y = 5 ⅓

36 = 4(6) + 1.5y => y = 8

36 = 4(5) + 1.5 y => 10 ⅔

36 = 4(4) + 1.5y => 13 ⅓

So to get approximately 36,000mm annually, you need a rainy season between 5 and 6 months long, or between 150 and 180 days. Your daily average rainfall during this time will be 133.33 mm.

So given the much longer year, how do the numbers break down to compare to the real world?

133.33mm is half the average rainfall Mawsynram receives in the entire month of October. Daily. For 5 to 6 months. At the height of Mawsynram’s 9 month rainy season, which is in July, the average rainfall is 3,300mm. When you take the entire 9 month season, the average rainfall is 12,345mm in the season, or 1,371.667mm averaged monthly. Even when you take out March and November, when the season is just getting started and petering off respectively, the total is 12,099, and the monthly average is 1,728.429mm.

Now, given that your year is approximately (a little less than) 1.5 times the length of an Earth year, how does that work out?

Taking an average annual rainfall of 11,872mm x 1.5 = 17,808. Your rainfall is still well over double the wettest place on Earth.

And that’s before we get to the proportion in the year of rainy season to dry season. If you proportion your months more like Mawsynram’s, you’ll end up with 11.25 months of rainy season (¾ of 15), which is 45,000mm of rain in just the rainy season.

My main recommendation after all of this is to reevaluate your numbers, and I hope we’ve given you the tools you need to do so.

There are a few people that needed to go a long time ago and d is one of them she's a huge a****** to my husband. Little fix her wagon

There's more happening and it's broad scale huge items going on

-there's a war in the Ukraine and we're going to start assisting and we're going to wipe out the Russian forces that is true really NATO is going to move in they usually suck so we have to help them out but we're tired of watching this stuff tired of this a****** doing things successfully to his own people and clothing about it and say he can do stuff to us he's a little imp and we wipe his forces out everyday pretty soon he won't have any and it's going to come down to it shortly just sending tons of them to try and get stuff and they can't it just keep sending people and they're sending them to the bunkers and they're going to send them in aftermax and it's going to be over thankfully crap

-they're going after the bunkers and they're doing it all night and this morning and it's the pseudo empire who's losing and the warlock we're taking them they are in receipt of almost all of them in South America with the exception of 10% of them at 5% in Brazil and 3% and 2% in the Amazon. The Amazon will fall in moments of course possibly Brazil too. Other areas Mexico is at 10% and 5% and they're not pushing real hard this morning you probably still be there and the south is that around 2% and 3%, they're actually going to fall momentarily and in California area they're at about 10% and 5% and it will fall this morning and out in Canada they're 3% and 2% of the fall this morning it's in the west and the Midwest is at about 4% and 1% and going to fall momentarily and expect all of these to be cleared out for the most part except for Mexico so far and the upper Midwest is a 10% and 5% we expect in the fall this morning and Northern New England is at 40% and 30% and it'll be there probably tonight they'll fall to the morlock and they're more like will be facing the Max and won't be able to stop themselves this is what the max are going to say thank God I really need to hear it this s**** this s*** heads. And yeah you're a stranger too Biden. There's a huge number of things happening it's a war and yeah pretty old doesn't make you the good guy stupid s*** Biden. There's a couple more things going on with this bunker war is huge

-in the eastern hemisphere they've taken over most of the bunkers today they're going to go after the remainder Pakistan and India are 10% and 5%, they intend on taking them fully and they did take over the ones that are there, the Sahara they're way too war it's at 10% and 20% and pretty much where the other bunkers are out the movie dune will begin and save in the west with Mexico and dune. Southern Europe is now being taken by the warlock whole. Europe is at 30% and 20% and they're preparing right now to go after them northern Europe has been taken whole and the movie is going to be brewing and possibly might be today because they're going in the hole to try and get the ships that are ready.

-there are a lot of people who are trying to get the motor into the hard knock kicker 5150 and they're trying to also build the Kris frame. So far there's not very many people who have hard knock kicker 5150 and the ones that do figured out that his frame is not strong enough mostly the hard way and they're reinforcing it it's going on it's small but people are getting the respect and they're not burnging themselves on purpose and this happening in Asia too and they did succeed.

-the Eastern hemisphere is going to be in darkness shortly the warlocks are going to attack those remaining bunkers that there's a couple more areas I ran a wrecked desert and that's about 10% and 20% and then go be desert 30% and 20% Saudi Arabian desert at 40% and 30% and the Sahara Wednesday Saudi Arabian desert are very tough and very big the bunker size is larger much larger those are going to be larger wars and dune is in as a Sahara and Saudi Arabia and in Mexico those monsters are larger and they're hard to get and that's why the movie has taken place there's showing people that is tougher and it's having this war and the sense back because it's just not very clear and that's what they're saying it really isn't

-there is a blockade here and it is getting stronger and stronger as the pseudo empire loses bunkers in areas they're being stuck here a lot of it and this other blockades there's some around Italy not really a ton there's a few in a certain area of the Middle East there's one really big one around part of a huge island yeah they have the Islands located all of them and they want to take them over. That's correct in order to take over there more or less have to wipe out everyone and they plan on doing that well that's a friend if there was one

My husband says that last line and it's true they're really nice people holy crap

-Stan wisinski is out of the pseudo empire this morning we don't want you waking him up and going over this math and bothering people and he's being sued by the owner of storm Western development for what he was doing there and he should be he was a huge f****** a****** Mr nuclear missile is telling people too which is illegal I hate that piece of s*** and he wants me to get a few lawyers teams together and go after and in my present time and I'm going to do that he's getting beat up and his stuff is in certain places it's near Orlando and they want that area cuz he's doing nothing so being a damn nuisance he has other places Oregon has fallen but he has bases there that they want and they're going to take them over he has bases in several other areas that they're going after summer in LA and outside of La there's and he is being taken over and they're they're actually doing it right now and he doesn't like it

-a couple more things and yes it was these people are excruciatingly annoying and it was never bring you to court to stan we're going to court with you Stan. He's really getting angry and he doesn't want to be talking about these axle fools we have a lot to talk about is being pushy but he does that it's helpful but really he's pushing all the time and people keep talking about these idiots he wants them done he wants to see a few lines and wants them done and I agree this is annoying as hell

-let me show you orders to stop these people from and taking up our time

Hera

-tell you what I'm coming in there to get rid of them everyone's just talking to you such a waste of damn time is anybody going to help me do this I go over there and waste them that's why it's working

Bitol and Goddess Wife

They're telling me all the time we're hitting these freaks and we're getting stuff done and it's true I've got to report here right now I'm handing it out

Thor Freya

We do understand that but I understand this I can correlation that's almost direct and it shouldn't be so we're going to have to look at it he's thinking it too why would getting rid of these sellouts you doing helping us so much and it's really because they're in the way just being these blobs so we have to be careful but and take it over but we're going to do that now I understand what you say he was just sitting here letting him rot. We're going to take care of business and fighting each other a little on it so he's going to go to court and stick these hearing assholes up her butt for like years if we just let them sit here

Nuada Arrianna

Olympus

That's better that's what it is so you can go to court with all of them so you can sit there and stare at them say they're doing the job when they're in the way

Hera

It's really what I've been saying but it's true and I'm not going to be accused of helping these people cuz I'm out there doing the job correctly

Chun Mee Green Teas in Mali

The Republic of Mali is a landlocked country in West Africa. It borders Algeria to the north, Niger to the east, Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire to the south, Guinea to the southwest, and Mauritania and Senegal to the west. It is the second largest country in West Africa.

Its northern border is in the Sahara Desert, and most of the population is concentrated in the south, where the Niger and Senegal rivers originate.

90% of the people believe in Islam, 5% believe in fetishism, and 5% believe in Christianity. Other Islamic countries have some support for Mali's economy.

The official language is French, but many Malians consider French a foreign language. There are many ethnic languages in Mali, and most Malians understand multiple ethnic languages.

2% of Mali's land area is agricultural land, and 80% of the labor force is engaged in agriculture. Agricultural land is very dense in the Niger and Senegal river basins and in the rainier regions to the south. Plants include peanuts, corn, sorghum, and cotton.

In 2021, Mali imported $31.1M in Tea, becoming the 52nd largest importer of Tea in the world. At the same year, Tea was the 27th most imported product in Mali. Mali imports Tea primarily from: China ($24.8M), India ($3.03M), Senegal ($1.27M), Kenya ($934k), and Sri Lanka ($591k). The fastest growing import markets in Tea for Mali between 2020 and 2021 were China.

Chun mee green tea is made from the raw materials of one bud and one leaf, one bud and two leaves from Qingming to Guyu, and is carefully processed. Its quality characteristics are: the strips are as thin as eyebrows, green and oily in color, high and long-lasting aroma, fresh and sweet taste, green and bright soup color, and tender bottom leaves.

Malians drink tea by "boiling" it with water instead of "brewing it". They use a small charcoal stove with a diameter of about 20 centimeters to make tea. They bury a small teapot with a diameter of about 10 centimeters shallowly in the red-hot charcoal and boil it for drinking.

Malians like to drink tea after meals. They put tea leaves and water in a teapot and simmer it on a clay stove to bring it to a boil. After the tea is boiled, add sugar and pour a cup for each person. Their method of making tea is different from the ordinary: when they get up every day, they boil water in a tin can and put in the tea leaves; let it cook until the bacon cooked at the same time is cooked, and then eat the meat and drink tea at the same time.
