IMO the laundry thing is an easy example of the larger issue of extreme privilege. Being able to live on a rich friend's property in the woods by a pond sounds awesome. I'm sure I would love that and it would do amazing things for my well-being. But that's just not a relatable thing for most people and it can really sour the message.

Except, ideally, a PhD thesis. Which should contain a completely new piece of information for the world.
Very cool combination. How are you managing single sign on with all those services?
Open source is about ideas being freely shared and iterated on. Open hardware has benefits, making a lot of things more accessible to people. It's not the end all of sustainability, but it doesn't pretend to be either.
Asphalt is pretty amazing given the amount of wear it goes through. It's basically infinitely recyclable, very flexible, goes down fast, and is relatively easy to work with.
Highly recommend meowwolf. I did the Vegas one on a work trip and it was a blast.
Discord movie night with some friends. Double feature of First Wives Club and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Cats don't have words and get overstimulated easily. Very gentle cats will bat at you or put your hand in their mouth without biting to let you know its time to stop, but others will just aggressively let you know.
I don't believe it's possible for a CA to decrypt TLS traffic with their private keys. They sign a site's public key with their own private key after verification but are never given the private key itself. Public CAs only provide identity verification, they do not take part in the encryption process itself. Let's Encrypt is perfectly safe in that regard.
I see season 1-9 packs on both IPT and TL.
Observation is all we have. There's no indication that anything outside the solar system is different from the things inside of it. Some stars have a light spectrum very similar to our sun, which implies they are stars in similar places in their life. Others have a light spectrum that is very different.
We can use different parallax angles to determine that some stars are much further away than others. Parallax works the same at 10 miles as it does at 10 light years.
Is there some particular observation you don't understand?

I actually think your hypothetical smoker is a great example of the opposite. Someone who lived it, understands the struggle, and ultimately regrets their choices is exactly who you want to hear from. It's why the really cheesy don't smoke PSAs don't ring a chord with most people, they don't feel genuine.
I don't think Thoreau is some enormous hypocrite, but I do absolutely understand why some people might feel bitter about it when they learn the greater context.
