Thank you! I've advocated the koppen climate classifications for years into a void, but I'd never heard of trewartha!

Check out the Complaint Tablet to Ea Nasir

It's akkadian, not sumerian tho

Anarchism doesn't need to be a form of government; it can be simply a guide to one's own behavior.

This is the way to remove the husk; I do a few hundred pounds like this each year.

Store them indefinitely in the shell, but at least for a few months to cure for best flavor.

For cracking, whop them a couple times on the point of the shell with a hammer on concrete, then flip them upside down and whop once. They usually split in half. Then get a pair of wire clippers and clip the shell diagonally from the bottom to remove the meat. There might be a better way to do this part, but I haven't found it yet.

Got room for one more?

Reticulum and Nomad Network might be what you need.

We still scroll "down" to the "bottom" of the page, so how is moving your finger up more natural? Maybe i'm just old now.

Yeah, ir has a little too much sugar and fat to be, like, health food. But not as much as you'd think; you don't need nearly so much as commercial ice cream has. Maybe still better than your average american diet?

Friends don't let friends drive windows.

I have a giant sycamore I love. A big old maple is nice in the fall, and an old walnut has beautiful texture in winter.

All the time! 4 eggs, a cup of milk, a cup of cream, some sugar. Actually according to my calculations an all ice cream diet would be cheaper than our current grocery bill (we have cows and chickens) and not that much less healthy.

fuck cars, rural edition (lemmy.basedcount.com)

So suppose we don't like cars and want to not need them. What are the transportation alternatives for rural areas? Are there viable options?

Edit:

Thank you all for interesting comments. I should certainly have been more specific-- obviously the term "rural" means different things to different people. Most of you assumed commuting; I should have specified that I meant more for hauling bulk groceries, animal feed, hay bales, etc. For that application I really see no alternative to cars, unfortunately. Maybe horse and buggy in a town or village scenrio.

For posterity and any country dwellers who try to ditch cars in the future, here are the suggestions:

Train infrastructure, and busses where trains aren't possible

Park and rides, hopefully with associated bike infrastructure

No real alternative and/or not really a problem at this scale

Bikes, ebikes, dirtbikes

Horse and buggy

Ride share and carpooling

Don't live in the country

Walkable towns and villages

Our greatgrandparents and the amish did it

A lot of you gave similar suggestions, so I won't copy/paste answers, but just respond to a few comments individually.

If you don't know, should you maybe give it some thought?
