https://medium.com/@cade.johnson.iii/carbon-ddf646ca7921 This essay I posted on Medium explores the idea of carbon-dioxide-equivalence which seems to be confusing to many. I noticed in the process of researching that "carbon dioxide" is a …

My wife and I each have a Kindle Fire (HD 8) and they get steady use. We both use them as ebook readers and I play some (stupid) games on them. Most days I also read the Washington Post via their app. For anything that requires typing or otherwise …

at one time, I would have agreed with the sentiment to stop talking to them. But now that I live in Latin America, I realize that we are social creatures foremost. Therefore, the proper course is not to stop talking, but rather (with one's mouth …

My mother taught psychiatric nursing and for a few years she was director of a state mental hospital. So my youth was salted with stories of the occasional noteworthy troubled minds that she encountered. Although this has given me a good bit of …

https://wheretofind.me/@Cade_Johnson - this was the first one I heard about. I have been exploring options since the day the sunset was announced. I have already pruned down the options somewhat. Early round eliminations were Minds and Steemit - …

<Freud-disguise> hmm, @apm you seem to have a deep-seated interest in psychology matters - could this have originated in your childhood? Please lie back on this couch and tell me all about it. </Freud-disguise>

cosmology - that we exist at all is perhaps quirky behavioral economics - practically the STUDY of quirky the nature of beauty - could lead to all sorts of quirky . . . PS, been stranded on this island since 2009 :(

Do all the carbon footprints add up to the total carbon emission, or can carbon footprints be attributable in a way that allows comparisons from many points of view? Specifically, can an IDEA have a carbon footprint? Aside from their …

my carbon footprint estimate for dogfood is admittedly lame: it is really difficult to discover what is IN dogfood, and if it is animal byproduct, is the carbon footprint of the consumer meat product already covering the carbon cost of the …

What I recall from long ago about FB was that I had real life acquaintances who turned out to have an overriding interest in some topic which was of no interest. But because we were acquaintances, we were sort of stuck with each other. But on G+ I …

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-wkmwrJfe_DkKV-XtPWo0619IAVz0oel_whHa1UFaEQ/edit?usp=sharing - although incomplete, this page is now interactive. The largest carbon footprint component for many will be direct fuel consumption and that part …

My progress on that spreadsheet has been too slow, but I will make it editable now, in case anyone wants to explore it further . . . new link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-wkmwrJfe_DkKV-XtPWo0619IAVz0oel_whHa1UFaEQ/edit?usp=sharing . . …

I followed thousands on G+, but not as social contacts per se. Not to say these are accurate numbers, but to an approximation I post an average of about weekly or more - say ten days? And some people post even less - monthly? Then there are others …

well, newspapers have always mixed topical coverage with featured columnists. I still read some online papers that have the features mixed. Individual readers have to skip over the columnists they don't follow I guess. My experience of G+ was of a …

Brilliant. I arrived at G+ just before circle-sharing ended. I actively built up a stream from shared circles and started pruning to fit my interests. I was really disappointed they killed that option. But I am more of a consumer than creator …

I would follow 500 people if I could. I can't look at 500 posts a day, but I loved the experience of hearing from hundreds of fascinating people on G+, and I surely could not imagine what all they would talk about on any given day. But - like …

Yeah, meeting Gideon was one of the great things that came to me from G+; and there have been quite a few other friendships. They are friendships of a new kind - friendships with people I never met face-to-face but I think I "know" them. I think …

There are some lovely equations called the Lorentz Transformations that explain how, as mass moves at speeds approaching "c", the speed of light, the length of the mass decreases, the time experienced by the mass slows down, and most importantly in …

On the morning of Christmas Eve, the valley below our house was filled with smoke as if the nearby village had burned! There were several small plumes of smoke still rising into the trapped valley-filling layer. There is a very popular tradition …

I have a solar panel system and no utility connection, and I am retired; so we do not drive much (groceries twice per month), and there is hardly ever anywhere I'd rather be, so no need to fly there! But even before accounting for food or other …

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-wkmwrJfe_DkKV-XtPWo0619IAVz0oel_whHa1UFaEQ/edit?usp=sharing This page is in progress, but the carbon footprint calculations for direct fuel consumption and public transportation options are largely …

I started building a spreadsheet on this and it became huge and full of guesses very quickly. I was not even trying to make it general, just get some idea of the carbon footprint of the things with which I am already quite familiar. I will clean it …

quality of life is an inherently individual issue: your choice of healthy diet over "yum" is based on your situation. A terminally individual might well choose the yum factor, and who could dispute it? Even issues of meat vs. vegetable might have …
