Re: Vegetarianism
Female calves are raised to become cows. Bull calves are raised into adolescence for their meat. Source: raised on a dairy farm. Presumably some males are raised and bred for more dairy cows, yes? Very few. Let's say that every farmer has one bull for breeding with the adolescent female cows. That'...

Re: Vegetarianism
Cheese can be 40% protein. But dairy requires calf to be killed. Unless i have been lied to. The calf is not killed. Modern day dairy cows, frysian cows, have had centuries of human selection for yield. They produce way more than a calf needs. And the colostrum cows produce is given to the calf sin...

Re: Struggle eating an avocado?
Dull knives are most definitely more dangerous. - with a dull knife people apply more force to compensate for the lack of sharpness - when a dull knife slips that knife could penetrate deeper than with a sharp knife*. - a dull knife tears instead of cuts * assuming people handle a sharp knife with r...

Re: What are your favorite books on practical skills?
Flicking through some digitized old books on project gutenberg is an interesting experience. Might pick up on something, and they can be entertaining as time bubble references too. Unfortunately i don't need a chicken coop, saw the designs on a pretty cool one in a digitized craft book: https://www....

Re: Belgium/Europe meetup in Brussels
This seems like a good reason to take a long weekend or midweek trip to Brussels. Please let me know when a date has been chosen, so I can look into making arrangements.

Re: Soliciting suggestions for new ERE blog theme
I'm not sure how severe the "dinging" is. Nor what the opposite of dinging would be, blinging? Anyway. If you want to turn your dinging in a blinging. Research "Accelerated Mobile Pages" or AMP for short. There are wordpress plugins that can help to make wordpress blogs meet the ...

Re: Soliciting suggestions for new ERE blog theme
Looking at the homepage the left ads look to be sub-navigation. So I assume you get a lot of unsuspecting clicks on those ads. That pays for your website running costs I assume? Changing template will almost certainly impact that. If I understand correctly, what instigates this discussion is the com...

Re: Lente on FiRe
I've read So Good They Can't Ignore You . I thought it was alright, if a little overrated. I think Cal simplifies the problem of finding enjoyable work, but the book is decent enough. I'm pretty happy with my work. For me it connects, but I am one of those people who stumbled into their job. As Cal...

Can I ask how you make your graphs? :D I made them simply with excel. Office 2007 and more recent have a lot of graphical customization options. I work with spreadsheets and databases a lot, so over time I picked up a few things. A pretty graph won't make the numbers any better, but sure makes it e...

Re: Lente on FiRe
In the beginning It has been about six weeks since I read Jacob's book. Since then I've paid more attention to what I spend money and energy on. My first step was to get insight in my current spending habits. I decided to start at January last year and track my behavior from there on. Due to a majo...

Re: Procrastination/internet addiction - any solutions?
Interesting discussion. I've had an experience that could probably be called a gaming addiction. As in every waking minute I'd play a particular game. I got rid of it via the cold turkey method. Uninstall. Throw away the download. Occupy my time differently. Throw up as many barriers as possible. Ev...

Re: Meetup in the Netherlands
Only been aware of ERE for a few weeks, total noob. I'm not usually the person to respond to irl meetups, but I hope to learn and hit the ground running. This seems like a good opportunity to do so. Hopefully noobs are welcome too

Re: Hi from the Netherlands; considering ERE
Hmm.. interesting.. I always thought ERE was more of a hit or miss type of thing, i.e. if you get as far as considering the idea, then you are likely to jump in head first! Well, I'm doing quite well by being me. ERE isn't the norm, so I guess I'm somewhat hesitant to embrace it fully. It's comfort...

Hi from the Netherlands; considering ERE
Hi retirees (in spe), Just recently I read the ERE book and there's a lot of sensible ideas in it. So I thought I'd join the forum and interact with those who follow it. The parts about the renaissance man ideal made me think strongly about a saying; "Jack of all trades, master of none, though ...
