I don’t have any specific memories of the early internet but I do remember DOS on the family computer. Having to remember the paths to run the shareware programs we wanted to run on a floppy

I had a cheaper folding one in the pandemic and rode it until it broke. It was the pedals as well. I figured this was less BIFL but wanted to see if there was a suggestion

I have some friends with rowers. Might get one of those instead of a bike

I do like having a higher quality machine that lasts but don’t know if I can justify over 1000 for something. If I can get it used I will get one

Just buy them as plants instead of seeds. I love https://www.prairiemoon.com/

Natives are the least amount of work and perfect for lazy gardening. They don’t need watering once established and work best without fertilizer and with competition

Except the fact we have lots of evidence that native population (which also includes pre-industrial European culture) built sustainable systems which includes altering the environment. Throughout North America there tons of evidence of the use of fire was used. The classic prairie environment of the Oak Savana is only possible through burns and supports a large buffalo population. There’s tons of evidence of strategic cultivation of trees and other plants within the Amazon rainforest that allow people to get food and medicine close by that to the untrained eye looks identical to the rest of the forest.

That being said some of those same people them destroy the same forest via slash and burn agriculture in order to earn a living for cash crops and more traditional agriculture. So profits is a main driver
