  • 2000 calories a day, two people, 7 days, so around 28,000 calories

    The absolute lightest you can get that is around 4.5kg(10lbs) of peanut butter.

    I’m assuming you have unlimited water at the location.

    To make a meal plan that’s actually edible for an entire week, I’d suggest you’ll need a bit more than that. So maybe bring only 1kg of peanut butter.

    Premade pancake mix that only requires water, and the flavored instant oatmeal packets would be good for breakfast. Both go well with some peanut butter in or on top of them for extra calories. Some jam wouldn’t hurt either.

    You should probably bake some bread so bring some flour, a little bit of salt, and yeast, then bring butter and cheese to spread/put on top. A can or two of tuna is a good here to add protein/flavor/variety, you can make a cheese tuna melt on your fresh bread. You can also make peanut butter and jam sandwiches.

    Switch up your carb for dinner to rice, brown would be best if you aren’t so worried about cooking time. Try looking up recipes for a Dahl for a couple nights, you’ll need to bring lentils, onion, and spices. I’d also suggest making a pulled pork which will feed you for 2-3 days if you bring different sauces (bbq, teriyaki, etc.) For the third dinner, I’d probably try to bring some sausages and do them up in a tomato sauce over the rice with some cheese on top.

    Then for fruits and veggies, I’d fill out whatever space/weight I have with some bananas, apples, and carrots because they’re easy, cheap, and transport well.

    The only refrigeration you need during the trip is for the Cheese, Pork, and Sausages, which should fit into a smaller cooler with an icepack.

    You’re probably looking at around 30-40lbs of food all in.


  • Fossil fuel use for cooking is a non-problem as far as climate change goes. The amount used for that purpose is a rounding error in the global carbon emissions. We can absolutely keep cooking with fossil fuels if we manage to phase out their use for heating, electricity generation, and transportation.

    They absolutely do screw indoor air quality though, which is why I plan on installing a gas wok burner in my outdoor kitchen once I can afford to.

    Unsarcastically, yes.

    Capitalism can be great, if given the correct regulations to improve quality of life for everyone.

    I will say however, that not all industries should be handled by capitalism, there are a few big ones where market competition simply doesn’t work due to inherent physical flaws (like for example needing to run five sets of water pipes to your house if you wanted to have choice among water providers)



  • A lot of people misunderstand economic systems by anthropomorphizing (it means to give them human characteristics) them, giving them the illusion of thought or feeling.

    Capitalism doesn’t care at all about humans, it’s not human, it doesn’t think, it doesn’t feel. It has no concept of right or wrong.

    Capitalism says “what is most profitable”, do that. If killing someone to make money is the most profitable, it’s supposed to go ahead and do it, and it absolutely DOES already do this on a daily basis.

    Now clearly, that’s going to give us some really fucking bad outcomes from a human perspective. So government regulation is how we attempt to prevent corporations from doing these bad things.

    If we tell a company: “if you kill people it will cost $X” and $X would reduce their profit below “most profitable” they will stop doing it.

    If we want to fix the bad stuff corporations are doing, simply put a larger cost on those things. It’s that simple. Pollution, Safety, Health, whatever… price the negative externalities (economic speak for bad things humans don’t want) properly and the market will sort itself out.





  • I’m a Canadian, so the only hate speech laws that I care about are the ones for my country.

    No I do not think intentional misgendering should be considered hate speech (in the legal sense)

    I would absolutely fire an employee of mine for doing it though, even if I found out they did it outside of a work context.

    Just because something isn’t illegal doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be consequences for it.

    A) This thread is 8 months old, what the hell are you doing going through stuff this old. Get a life.

    B) If you do it intentionally, knowing that they don’t want it, you’re a bad person. It’s not hate speech though based on the legal description in Canada. Just like I can call you a thin-skinned small-dicked asshole and it’s not hate speech.


  • I just use Chat-GPT, I also have the capability to write my own formulas, but especially for more complex or repetitive formulas it’s faster.

    Here’s one for PowerApps I asked it to extend

    Patch(Timesheets, LookUp(Timesheeets, ID=SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID), {DataString:Concatenate(TextInput1.Text, “;”,TextInput2.Text, “;”, TextInput3.Text, “;”, TextInput1_1.Text, “;”,TextInput2_1.Text, “;”, TextInput3_1.Text, “;”, TextInput1_2.Text, “;”,TextInput2_2.Text, “;”, TextInput3_2.Text, “;”, TextInput1_3.Text, “;”,TextInput2_3.Text, “;”, TextInput3_3.Text, “;”, TextInput1_4.Text, “;”,TextInput2_4.Text, “;”, TextInput3_4.Text, “;”, TextInput1_5.Text, “;”,TextInput2_5.Text, “;”, TextInput3_5.Text, “;”, TextInput1_6.Text, “;”,TextInput2_6.Text, “;”, TextInput3_6.Text, “;”)}); Refresh(‘Timesheets’);

    I just gave it the first bit and two text input fields initially and then asked it to add the remainder for me instead of hitting copy paste and changing the numbers a dozen times.

    Probably saved me 5 minutes, but I do this kind of thing fairly regularly so it’s probably saving me a half-hour to an hour per week on formulas alone.
