Such a fantastic series :) (the books, not any of the garbage adaptations)

I’d love to be able to install solar but I’d have to take down trees that just got big enough to be worth having a few years ago to do that and they provide more passive cooling than I’d get power generation.

Maybe when I have some fruit trees to put in and a heat pump for cooling until they get big enough, but at best I could do batteries from the grid (tho my area is largely hydro powered so that wouldn’t be too bad anyway)

Unless it needs to be refrigerated, which it doesn’t afaik, probably yes.

The US navy did a study on “expired” non-refrigerated medications and found most of them don’t lose significant potency for a really long time. And I can guarantee even the chance of it working is worth it when nothing else is available. Tho if you have other options you’d be better served using those, as you want the most reliable dose.

It’s gotten really difficult to research products, speaking as someone who does a lot of it, so I don’t think it’s about not wanting to do it.

Go look for something like a good dehumidifier and it’s all seo-optimized bullshit barely hiding that it’s advertisements for cheap Chinese junk on Amazon. And nearly every link is like that. For pages upon pages worth of results.

It’s so so difficult to judge what’s actually legit info and what isn’t. So I don’t blame people for asking other humans for what worked for them. You almost kinda have to unless you know of good legit review sites for every product you might want or need.

We are getting tons more heavy rains in my region (which isn’t coastal and about 600 ft above sea level), and flooding, while still mostly relatively minor, has been happening considerably more often than it used to.

It isn’t going to be just the coasts losing housing - a lot of people use basements for actual living space, even whole apartments, and with increased storm flooding that may not be safe in the future.
