I agree with you. It’s just nothing new.

I have a carbon steel knife a buddy of mine made, has lasted 10+ years. Holds a decent edge, so I can even shave my arm hair with it when it’s freshly sharpened.

Also have some cheap ass Kiwi brand paring knives made from kind of extremely soft stainless steel. Very easy to sharpen. They get used as steak knives, for cutting cheese, apples, etc.

Yup. The Ford F-series trucks are the best selling car in Canada. Gotta brave those dangerous wide suburban roads to get to the rugged Walmart and haul toilet paper.

Not gonna mention the Secret Protocol in the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact that enabled the partition of Poland and the Baltics?

Or that Stalin actually fell for it all, trusted Hitler, disregarded all evidence of Nazi troop buildup until the day of Operation Barbarossa? Then Stalin spent weeks disappeared from public view.

Credit to the Soviets for defeating the Nazis. WW2 would have been lost without them. But they also acted as imperialists in reattaching Tsarist colonies to Russia, dividing Poland and the Baltics with Hitler, invading Finland, not to mention all the puppet states created postwar.

And the Soviets allied with Nazi Germany and carved up Poland with their new buddies.

Did they bark at the moon?

Loose dark clothing encourages airflow. Covering up prevents sunburn and direct solar heating.

For buildings, airflow can cool them too. But it doesn’t need to be done through dark roofs or dark exterior walls. And buildings could have more sunshades and awnings, and smaller windows to prevent solar heat gain.

Tabarnak!

That’s where I got the idea from! Excellent channel.

Fun fact, adding textiles to walls for insulation is where we get the term “furring” from.

I wish awnings were more common. Such a simple way to block out midday or afternoon sun in the hot summer.

They could make a stick that a soldier could put a spherical grenade on to help give extra range. Like an atlatl or one of those tennis ball launchers for dogs.

Canada is a petrostate after all.

It’s still around.

The amendment to USA’s constitution that “banned” slavery did so EXCEPT as punishment for a crime.

USA also has astoundingly high incarceration rates per capita. Coincidence?

Probably as effective as any other carbon capture and storage scam.

No mention at all of having fewer kids? That alone has a huge impact.

Locally grown is not always the best for the environment. Eating California rice in California is worse for CO2 than Thai rice, because California rice needs more inputs. Same with growing tomatoes in a natural-gas heated greenhouse in cold climates vs. trucked in from where they grow in the field. Transportation is a very small part of the CO2 footprint of food.

Yes, it’s used to make oilcloth but as far as I know, you’d have to leave the garment to dry somewhere with ventilation for a week or more. However I’ve not done it so if that isn’t the case please correct me.
