I read the Phenomenology of Spirit every night before bed, or the Logic if I’m feeling extra burned out. Light work really. Smh

Salmon soup (lohikeitto) is common to find in most Finnish markets and restaurants. Usually exactly as you described, large vats of soup and bowls that are quickly served to each person.

Another perfect food on a cold Finnish winter day is rice pudding (riisipuuro). It has all the advantages of soup but it’s also sticky, so no concern of clumsily spilling soup while wearing thick gloves/mittens.

Ramen, pho, and other soup styles are also common streetfoods (not in Finland) for the benefits you mention

You’re right, I was thinking my bike was a lot lighter, but it’s 12 kg. So not too far off.

I was curious if bamboo was really that beneficial over steel which can be recycled. For example, the glue might complicate disposal of the bamboo similar to how the epoxy used for carbon fiber frames complicates their disposal.

I found this study[1] on the topic from 2016 which claims that “the overall environmental impact of the bamboo bicycle frame is about 50% less than aluminium and about 30% less than steel bicycle frames in all impact categories, except Freshwater Aquatic Ecotoxicity and Terrestrial Ecotoxicity.”

Sounds like an improvement. I hope they can find a way to reduce the weight because 15kg is very heavy compared to my steel bike.

As if ironic bigotry is ever funny anyway. It’s how many right wingers ease into full blown reaction. I think Elon Musk was like that at first? It’s like the equivalent of killing small animals being a warning sign of future violence against humans

If the slime is weird enough then nobody will want plastic anymore. It would rot within days like old bread

As someone terrified of the prospect of Trump returning to power, yet even more terrified of having to do anything about it — I think you’re all LARPers.
