  • This is wrong. So very wrong. “Stop flying as much”? Dude, the majority of people that I know didn’t fly airplane a single time in their lives. Small percentage flew perhaps a few times in their decades-long lives.

    The lists misses more reasonable things:

    • ditch whatever modern “high energy demand” fad there is, be it bitcoin mining or electric car
    • spend less time on activities that rely on energy consumption, be it online browsing, or playing high-demand video games
    • vote for whatever party there is, that wants to build nuclear power plants and postulate to bring cheap energy to every household
    • vote for whatever party plans to do something about urban infrastructure, so that mass transit and bikes become plausible alternative to a car
    • as much as possible avoid Chinese stuff, avoid enterprises that outsource their work to China, yes it means skipping yet another iCrap announced
    • do not exchange hardware/electronic/digital devices that often, ffs the cpu/gpu/memory values do not matter that much
    • don’t change your diet, but consider improving it - eat less, waste less, do not overindulge on delicacies
    • learn as much as you can about things that reduce your reliance on the society and the products/services it provides





  • Oh, I wouldn’t ever suggest that the method does everything its author says it does - the claims of helping in cancer cases and such are wee bit too “optimistic”.

    But the question was concerning the possibility to build up cold immunity. And the answer is “yes”. The method I mentioned absolutely will build up cold’s immunity (or resistance, or tolerance if language purism is a factor) in everyone who will attempt it.

    There’s no magic hocus-pocus in it. It’s very simple concept used in many “methods” - Buteyko comes to mind, so does Russian Siberia.
