This whole "you have no expectation of privacy in public" nonsense needs to end. Even in "public," we had the concept of stalking as a crime!

The technology now goes so far beyond that there are no longer just two categories: we now have public, private, and panopticon.

IMO, real down only remains necessary for stuff like backpacking, because it's lighter and packs smaller than any synthetic of comparable insulation amount. Unless you need that, synthetic is better.

Eh, a Tacoma is generally going to be better than a 3500 for climbing over obstacles because it's more nimble and has better approach/breakover/departure angles. A bigger vehicle (aside from the tires) isn't necessarily better for that sort of thing.

Engines have gotten somewhat more efficient in the past 25 years, but not that much more efficient. For example, a 2026 base-model Tacoma is a whopping 3 MPG more efficient than a 2001 base-model Tacoma (according to the EPA, anyway; according to vehicle owners they're the same).

Internal-combustion engines are a pretty mature technology, especially once you're talking new enough to have fuel injection. Other than stuff like Atkinson-cycle engines (which only apply to hybrids), the small refinements in efficiency since the '90s aren't anywhere near enough to overcome the vast size/weight/capacity difference from a reasonably-small truck to a gigantic one.

No shit your midsize pickup gets better mileage than a heavy-duty full-size one, even if the latter does have a diesel. Were you surprised??

baking in activity into your day-to-day routines is very helpful. Transporting yourself by biking, walking, taking transit, a mix of all of the above makes a large difference

Blood clots can prosecute the entire GOP for treason, RICO, and the rest of its massively corrupt and anti-American behavior?

Histamine is a chemical, not an organism. It can't "multiply over time."

A WebMD article I found suggests that histamines can be higher in cured or fermented meat products (I'm guessing because they're released by the bacteria involved in fermentation, or at least other chemical changes), but that's not the same as just grinding the meat and waiting a couple of days to eat it.

Ground meat has higher histamine levels

How does grinding meat create histamines?

I'm less mad about that than I am about coal-fired power plants, since the carbon is also a reactant in the steelmaking process rather than just being used for heat.

I used to use uMatrix, but stopped when @gorhill stopped recommending its use. The way I figure, if I'm gonna trust the guy, then I'm gonna trust the guy.

Because if you try to discuss what needs to be done on the typical means of communication in the 21st century (i.e., fascist-controlled social media), you'll be censored (and possibly referred to the FBI for prosecution as a "terrorist") before you can even begin to get organized.
