Today's bake. 30g gluten flour, 270g sprouted whole spelt flour, 700g AP flour, 80g wheat germ. 850g water, 150g starter.
Added in 50g flax soaked 100g water, 50g chiaseed 100g water, 50g each sunflower and pumpkin seeds. 30g salt. Topped with black sesame seeds.
Ah, cool. Anoxic lactoferment, then. That does sound good. Like sauerkraut.
What are we looking at? Pineapple and sugar and water?
Do you airlock it?
The new terrain smoothing is really good!
Sweet, safehouses.
Beat me to it, nicely done. :)
You don't have to. Turns out, when you give women the option to not shove a watermelon-sized object through their hoohaws at an age when they're not ready for it, many of them opt not to!
That talking point died decades ago. We have a clear path to reducing our population. Well-off people with access to contraceptives don't have high birth rates. We can roll back the human birth rate to sub-replacement levels and over time, reduce it.
There will be a problem with increasing population in 2250 or so, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.
The moral thing to do is to ensure that all humans have access to clean water and food, contraceptives, and comfortable lives. The population will naturally go down and we can stabilize it over time.
I don't think it can sustain the current population levels, at our North American standard of living. If we could distribute resources evenly, sure, we could keep everyone alive, but energy consumption, plastic production, all that adds up to an ecological footprint of resource use that isn't sustainable.
World wildlife levels have gone down dramatically. We're expanding human life at the expense of all other life. The other life on earth isn't superfluous: it's an ecosystem that keeps us alive, recycles our waste, provides our medicines and cultural wealth of all sorts.
We can't keep our wealthy lifestyle and at the same time tell the poor people of the world that they have to stay poor so that we can remain wealthy.
We are in no way at risk of dying out from negative population growth. If we start to go down below a few million, then maybe let's talk.
World population is still increasing, and is set to maybe stabilize in a couple decades. Fingers crossed. If we could (gently, without mass starvation) reduce the population down to a more sustainable level, that is an unmitigatedly good thing.
What might kill us is infertility from pollution or disease, but this won't do it.
Losing* :/

This is our hand-drawn map of our immersive-mode Valheim map - I sail while my partner maps on the boat. We call out terrain observations, bearing, etc while we're sailing.
Currently, we're settled on a Plains island in the south, four days' sail from spawn, and have established a full base in preparation for Ashlands.
Alkalinity speeds up the Maillard reaction significantly. Baking soda. Magic.
