Reply to Large open car parks in urban areas present a substantial opportunity for solar PV with EV charging. by DisasterousGiraffe
Large open car parks in urban areas present a substantial opportunity for literally anything other than a car park. Solar farms should be quite far down the list in most cases.

Notably their example is in Taiwan where available land is limited.

Not just ancient. The Netherlands is a great recent example of what happens when dairy consumption is increased (post-WWII I think).

Hair is mostly keratin which is actually a helical protein.
Is interesting that while we don’t directly digest and breakdown fiber … our gut microbes do and in ferment them into short chain fatty acids which are also important for gut health. Having a masters degree in nutritional sciences I approach the question more in regards from the biochemistry of the molecule. If you revisit your nutrition facts label you will indeed find fiber as a sub component of carbohydrate. Under carbohydrate it lists dietary fiber, total sugars, and added sugars. Some products like cheerios list soluble fiber as well.

Reply to Analysis showed that 65.6% of women who took extra Vitamin D gave birth naturally. The study analysed results from the MAVIDOS trial which involved 965 women being randomly allocated an extra 1,000 International Units (IU) per day of vitamin D during their pregnancy or a placebo. by Wagamaga
Compared with? It’s a meaningless stat by itself.

There are different philosophies; for some a life's value is determined by output, for some it's impact, for others life has innate value regardless of impact or output. It's not an exhaustive list, but if I can generally find where someone lands on the continuum between those three then you can frame almost any argument to the benefit of what motivates the listener.

Based on trends in the countries that are phasing out coal versus building it out rapidly, exactly the opposite.

In the US we've been rapidly phasing out coal already with most of the decline being replaced by renewables.

Isn't feasible to shut them all down yet. We've set the base for doing it, we just need to keep building on it.

The thing is no one study can be conclusive, but a collection of studies at different labs or universities, from different researchers paints a picture.
That is the case here. There are many studies showing similar or same conclusions about vegetarian and vegan diets.

Great point! Would keep the cars cooler, too. Hopefully the world follows France's example and makes it mandatory to have solar panels covering parking lots that have space for at least 80 cars!

Ya. Sorry. I agree with you kind of. It was just a weird statement bc it's irrelevant if it's a carb if it just passes through. Also I'm skeptical of the "all fiber is carbs" statement. I mean all plant fiber, sure. But for a mountain lion hair and bone constitute fiber and I don't think hair is a carbohydrate. Or if a human ate hair wouldn't that constitute fiber in fecal matter. You may be right, I'm not an expert
