How many people do you think would be needed?
It's less than you imagine. As long as the sampling is random and unbiased, assuming 100 million Republicans, a sample size of 1000 should be enough for a 3% margin of error with a 95% confidence level.

- Ethical reasons: hundreds of billions of animals are killed every year (not counting fish), after living a miserable and short life.
- Environmental: greenhouse emissions (CO2 and methane), deforestation for pastures, water pollution, are all caused by animal agriculture. If everyone went vegan we'd need only 25% of the land we currently use for agriculture.
- Health: there is some evidence that meat causes cancer, and convincing evidence that processed meat causes cancer. Also, the use of antibiotics for animals can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Cow farts are methane, which are a more aggressive form of greenhouse gas, though with shorter lifespan.
I like supporting small business. 🙂
Also, depending on the VPS provider, you might get a lot of sites blocked. When I ran a VPN on Digital Ocean I couldn't access USPS, OpenAI, imgur, and couldn't leave comments on YouTube. I assume because of too many bots running on DO.
They do that upstream, so there's nothing you can do on your router to change that.
One solution I've used in the past is run hoppy.network to get a public IP (it's basically a VPN). Then your home computer has all ports open on that IP, since everything goes through an encrypted tunnel.
Related: every time you shuffle a deck of cards you get a sequence that has never happened before. The chance of getting a sequence that has occurred is stupidly small.
Thanks! I guess I'll wait a little bit then before giving it a try.
Has anyone played it on the Deck yet? What's the experience like?
Soy and quinoa both have all essential amino acids. And you can also combine different grains to get all essential amino acids.
If everything went vegan we'd need only 25% of the farms we currently have. So we can do fine without meat, and the planet will thank us.
Whiskey on the rocks.
I can suck the ice cubes during the day, and drink the whiskey at night.
It's probably a bit of everything: chords, songs, drums
I had the same thought, this looks like the handle for a recliner.
I bought this cassette tape last year, when it was released in November. From the artist:
Environmental Music For The Multitasker is a slow cooked collection of eight songs.
The first bits were created in 2020. But quarantine and other boring stuff resulted in the equivalent of a writers block. The tracks fell asleep on a harddrive. It wasn’t until Purlieu said "let’s do a tape" that I found the lost joy of noodling with sounds and the collected tracks were finished.
Somewhere in the start the theme was ”no theme”. I think? Can’t really remember.
Anyways I read some grumpy old guitar man saying all modern music (i guess post Toto) is just background noise for young people while doing something else. So there’s that truth and here are eight songs to ignore and have in the background.
The album has 8 meditative tracks that are perfect for a cloudy day with a hot beverage. While listen to the album sometimes it would catch me attention ("are those children noises?") and eventually it would drift to the background again.
Favorite song: Wide Field.
I'm currently running this instance on a Digital Ocean VPS with 1 VCPU and 1GB of ram, just to get started. I'm keeping an eye on CPU and memory usage, so I can upgrade it as we grow.
Right now it looks like this:
Today I added a swap file, since we're around 90% memory usage. But I expect to probably have to bump it to 2GB in the next coming days.
Testing if people can create posts.

That's just for colorectal cancer. It also affects other types of cancer (like breast cancer) and increases the chance of dying from heart disease considerably.
