Interesting tid-bit that surprised me when I learned it; not only does he run this medieval living channel, he's also the owner of the Rebellion game studio.

There doesn't seem to be a high-res version online that I can find :(

I don’t know how much Impossible Meat is because nobody around here carries it, but I would imagine it’s a bit pricey just for the name being so popular.

Having tried a fairly wide variety of vegan meat replacements, I personally found that Impossible meat was the most impressive. Their beef imitation is quite literally indistinguishable from the real thing. If anything, it's beefier than real ground beef. I can sometimes find it on sale at my local store for about $7 or $8 a pound, but usually it's more around $10 or $11. I always stock up on the beef or sausage when it's on sale, as my non-vegan family has fully embraced it, whereas they have been less receptive of other beef imitations (though they'll enjoy any old imitation chicken, which appears to be easier to replicate).

Cheers for sharing this here, I've watched about half of the first episode, and I'm quite enthralled. Old docs from the 70's like this are my favorite.

It's a shame the Archive version isn't quite as high fidelity, though in a way it sort've adds to the charm.

Yes! I love David's docs. It's a shame some of them were lost in his house fire a few years ago. :(

Florisboard has decent swipe typing from what I remember, and should be available in F-droid.

EDIT: after checking, I see Floris has not been updated in two years on f-droid. :(

@Longpork3 wrote down the recipe here.

1.2l water

240ml sodium sulfate

60ml sodium chloride

20ml xantham gum(optional for increased efficacy by keeping the solution homogenous)

Boil water, stir until fully dissolved, a small amount of solute should remain, if not, increase sodium sulfate concentration slowly until it does, indicating no free water molecules available for dissolution.

Solution should now be cooled to below 18c( freezing point) for an end product that will regulate temperature to 18c so long as it have sufficient(negative) thermal energy.

Solution of pure sodium chloride will have freezing point approx -20C, while solution of pure sodium sulfate has freezing point +35C. Adjusting the ratio of NaCl to Na2SO4 will shift the freezing point towards either end of thag spectrum, depending on what phase change temperature you are targetting.

XMPP would be the best choice at this point in time, as it doesn't suffer the downfalls of Matrix (though even Matrix would be better than Discord).

Hadn't heard of those last three recommendations, cheers for mentioning them!

I wasn't aware BetterHelp was so awful, good to know. With my use of SponsorBlock, I generally don't see sponsored ad content in videos. I'll try to briefly check their sponsors before posting.

Asked the creator, apparently it's a combination of two fonts they found on Pinterest. One is Artypa, and the other is called Illusive.

I did a really quick a dirty edit to see how that'd look.

Definitely like it mirrored better.

I tried rotating it to more clearly resemble an S, but I think it detracts from it, since then it just becomes a letter, instead of a slightly more abstract (and IMO memorable) logo.

ProdigalFrog OP , 9 days ago

I actually like that simpler version much more as an S, something about the increased whitespace around the dot in that version compared to the sun in this version looks a bit better to me. The framing around it helps a bit too, though as you say, all of them a pretty cool.

Flippy test!

Hmm, I think that design might need something more bespoke.

it might not make as much sense as plants usually grow upwards

There are those upside down tomato planters.

I'd recommend checking out our local documentary community, !documentaries, which is chock full of docs! :D

Though admittedly, most of the ones there are not directly related to solarpunk. Since the movement is really only just catching on in the mainstream, there's not much documentary/movie content about it.

The only fictional movie I can think of that's solarpunky would be Strange World from (ironically) Disney.
