For a "real life" geometry game, take a look at the following books from lost art press, they encourage building small and simple tools (a sector, a compass, a divider), then they are filled with similar "puzzles" derived mainly from the ancient greek geometry theorems (how to find this or that perfect shape in a circle)

Here is a small trailer stop motion video for the hound & eye handbook:

A house that is not built to have windows towards the south (with an appropriately long roof overhang to prevent overheating during the summer) will be dark and unpleasant. A really passive and lifelong upgrade is to plan carefully for the sun's path!
Scroll to the bottom of this article for a cool example of how lit a house can be with no electricity!
And if you want a really fast, almost instant tree, harvest a small branch (10 cm long, 2 cm diameter approximately) of willow or poplar (most Salicaceae will work, hybrids are the best) in the spring before leaves come out, submerge it in water for a few hours than plant it straight into the ground (or a nursery pot). The same year it could gain a meter, and the second year it will be two meters tall and thriving. This works even in the cold climate of Québec.
Well, it is easy enough:

Once the area has been over-grazed and compacted by the animal, the topsoils erodes into the river, leaving only infertile soil where barely anything can grow...
You must have quite a selective memory to compare an elected democratic presidential regime like the one Allende was establishing with a bloody dictatorship that ruined the country.
Do the notes you take down really have to be sticky? If you are in a normal office environment (i.e. filled with people that have difficulty with basics in technology), you should be able to get dozens of pages otherwise headed for the trash or recycling bin, like when an idiot punches in his copier code in the number of copies field, wanders off to come back to a stack of photocopies of a single packing slip or whatever irrelevant thing he was copying... Or when somebody prints google maps directions but the last page is just blank, etc. Have a stack at hand and you are only delaying the point it'll go to waste instead of generating more! (Bonus points if you then compost the paper or use it as mulch:)
I recently started a new job in a small company, it would be much easier for me to remember everybody's name if they had functional names, "manager", "warehouse guy 1", "warehouse guy 2", "receptionist", "accountant", etc.
wait, getting the fuel and refining it, then carrying it to the machines that will extract, refine and carry the uranium to feed the power plants is not a process that is very green...
In Alberta they use one barrel to extract a mere two barrels, fo just the fuel you need is really hurting you before you even started generating waste...
we should focus a bit more on reducing energy dependance (green roofs, passive solar devices, windbreaking and or orienting... )
I know for sure some "solar" techs are not harmful at all and are quite efficient.. it is a shame we don't deploy more of them, like black water heaters exposed to the sun at least during the summer...
come on, change the hardware if you need to, but remember that windows has >rightclick on the desktop >properties>configuration tab>advanced>and then in "general" you can change the dpi setting. mine is set at 130% and it works fine for 99% of the software I tried in the past years. those that won't work only have display bugs (fonts, placement of things screwed up), and they are very rare.
The "GM crops which the environmentalists hate for some reason" are the ones developped for the sole purposes of using herbicides and pesticides, baring no usable seeds, used in huge monocultures that wash out the soils and the microorganisms living in it, along with helping breed super-pests that cannot be controlled by their natural predators, killed by the pesticides mentioned earlier.
Silly environmentalists...
On another note, I thought we could eat saline algae... Can't they just figure out the tastiest ones and breed them? Or is it just soft-water algae that are edible?

There is a saying in french, which translates roughly as: "Poor people dont have a lot of money, but there is a lot of poor people"
After listening to S-Town, I misunderstood that John B Mclemore was dead, apparently that is not the case :)

How much in subsidies were given to "save" the car manufacturers?

Well, it's not as if there are not many kilograms/tons of rare metals in a Bitcoin data center's equipments..
One of the greatest innovations in consumer vehicles made by American manufacturers has been to refrigerate the glove compartment.

That's hilarious, thank you.

Obviously you have never met the sales "engineers" I've had to work with!

"moving millions of kg" ... that's not a good start to convince me nuclear is "green" :)
