I'll note that in the US, their urban area definition includes a lot of outlying and substantially unpopulated areas which fall within county boundaries; these areas tend to show up as having long travel times to services.

 

Gone are the days when designers made a splash with a shimmering new building torquing this way and that. The season’s debuts forge links to regional designs and new connections.

This article touches on some of the problems of downtown areas but focused on architectural changes that might lure people back. It's less theory and more implementation within the existing system.

Sure. I recently bought an electric portable fabric cleaner (e.g. spot cleaner for carpets). I needed to see reviews between different brands such as Bissell, Shark, and what have you. Of course, Amazon has these reviews but they are often astroturfed (and that's the case on Reddit too, but less so one hopes).

So basically, making a big purchase like that is important and I want to due my diligence. I really like the idea of posting BAD reviews in buyitforlife. i.e. don't buy it for life content. Not sure if that content is allowed there.

I've actually thought about making a community like that... It's one of the specific areas that Reddit still has an advantage.

I'm curious what your current vehicle is and what the range is?

 

An Indian entrepreneur is using sugar, cellulose, and corn fibers to make a plastic-like carrier bag for small Indian businesses.

His company Bio Reform has already replaced 6 million plastic bags in the checkout counters of stores all over India.

Based in Hyderabad, Mohammed Azhar Mohiuddin first got the idea during the general mayhem that arose during the pandemic. Mohiuddin was looking at global environmental issues with the hope of finding one his entrepreneurial spirit had the capacity to tackle.

Here's a Mac & Cheese adapted from https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-mac-and-cheese-recipe/

I use the cheese sauce for this meal or as a substitute for béchamel when making lasagna.

The Best Vegan Mac and Cheese

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins | Servings: Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups raw cashews

  • 200 ml oat-based cooking cream

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast

  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 12 ounces elbow pasta

Optional breadcrumb topping

  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 4 tablespoons vegan butter/margarine, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions: Preheat oven and prep – If planning on baking it with the breadcrumb topping, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a casserole dish (I used a 9×13 inch dish). Skip this step for stovetop mac and cheese. Soak the cashews – Soften your cashews by covering them in boiling water for 5 minutes. I do this by heating up water in my tea kettle, and then pouring the boiling water over the cashews in a large glass measuring cup. Cook pasta – Cook the pasta according to package instructions, but do not overcook. Drain and set aside. Blend cheese sauce – Drain the soaked cashews and discard the soaking water. Add the cashews, fresh water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, salt and bag of shredded cheese (if using) to a high powered blender and blend until very smooth.

Stovetop version Simply return the pasta to the pot and pour in the cheese sauce. Stir until the sauce thickens and serve immediately.

Baked version (the best!) Make the breadcrumb topping by mixing the breadcrumbs, melted vegan butter and smoked paprika in a small bowl until crumbly and moist. Add the drained pasta to the prepared casserole dish, and pour in the cheese sauce. Stir to coat the noodles. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on the pasta and bake, uncovered for 15 minutes. I also broiled it for a few minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy!

The 2025 and 2040 colors are definitely identifiable as separate colors…

This is an article that dates back from 2019 but I think it's pretty relevant still.

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂
