I tested it on a peak we have in Spain called 'Pico Tres Mares,' which translates to 'Three Seas Peak,' and it was nice to see that depending on which side you drop the raindrop, the water flows to the Bay of Biscay, the Atlantic, or the Mediterranean.

Nice.

You want someone to teach you the difference, but what you desire is for no one to be able to point out a single difference to you.

I had to try :/

For me it is also something ideological but even from an economic point of view I never buy on Amazon, this is my reasoning:

You buy it cheaper but you are generating a debt, it's like buying on credit: somewhere someone is being exploited or a natural resource is being overexploited, and you will pay for it in the future, with a poorer environment socially, economically and naturally.

Everything comes back. I once read that I don't know which tribe made decisions that were good for the next 7 generations, well, buying on amazon is a decision that is not good even for the current generation, you will probably see the consequences in your own or your children's life.

Yep, good point.

Let's avoid considering outliers to maintain a balanced discussion.

While I don't believe anyone has the right to live in Castellana or the Royal Palace, it also wouldn't be fair to require someone to move to the desert to find a home.

Yes, It is in Spain:

Article 47 of Spanish Constitution:

All Spaniards are entitled to enjoy decent and adequate housing. The public authorities shall promote the necessary conditions and shall establish appropriate standards in order to make this right effective, regulating land use in accordance with the general interest in order to prevent speculation.

In his book "Collapse," Jared Diamond speculates about the cutting down of the last tree on Easter Island and how this event might have contributed to the civilization's downfall.

Might someone in the future ponder who initiated the last airline for dogs?

Yes, but first you have to go through a period of 1 month, then the final change of metabolism occurs, your age is frozen and you will never increase it.

>> To lose weight long term we need to fix whatever caused the regulating machinery to malfunction as we can't really eat less (over long term).

Hi, why do you say this? I mean I was a glutton (and still am), but I have been able to reduce the amount of food eaten by skipping dinner as a way of eating less. I've been at it for 2 years now, not long term maybe but medium term and I have no intention of stopping given the benefits I'm having.

In this sense, I liked the book: Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed.

Certainly, it explains that if we look at previous civilisations that have been annihilated, it seems that slow decay is a feasible path.

According to their argumentation, there is a balance of 4 common environmental problems in previous cases:

I. Destruction/loss of natural resources. II. Ceilings on natural resources. III. Harmful things. IV. Human population.
