  • Very good explanation on why it’s not a personal choice.

    This is how I explain it to people: The animals we eat aren’t able to stand up for themselves, so some people try to do that for them. Kust like how activists do this for dogs or orangutans. It’s not against personal choice, but about trying to protect those who are hurt by the choices of others.

    Besides, we all share the same planet and animal agriculture has a big impact on it. So it’s not like our choices don’t affect others.






  • I suspect that in the countryside it’s more common to ask guests to take their shoes off. Which makes sense, given additional mud people might bring in. It was a bit of a mixed bag where I grew up, but definitely very normal to ask guests to take their shoes off.

    After moving to London there was no way I’d keep shoes on in the house, looking at how dirty streets and sidewalks can be. Context probably matters a lot alongside the cultural aspect.



  • It’s hard to explain just how well it works and how nice it is to have a nook or hallway be ceiling lit and daylight-bright during the day, then warm and cozy by lamplight in the evening.

    Completely agree. I only run it in the living room as it’s north facing and can feel a bit dark.

    Besides the light bulbs being coloured, are they a special kind? I tried to find high CRI lighting and ended up replacing the led strips in a cheap LED panel with Auxmer led strips.

    Exactly. Bus drivers are better trained than regular drivers. In that respect I used to trust them more. But they are also people who might be into car culture. My partner had a London bus overtake her in an intersection and brake check her while she was cycling. Multiple times in a row. It was super dangerous. We complained to the bus company and they reported back that they put the driver on a mandatory training.
