I feel like something like https://www.storj.io/ is on the path to what we would want/need?

There might be some additional requirements for a true CDN to ensure data is closer to where it’s needed and in as many regions as needed though with the right amount of bandwidth. The data gets stored all over the place, but that doesn’t mean its optimal. But they do seem to claim it’s faster on their website…

Edit: For those not wanting to click, TLDR is they use excess storage around the world and make it accessible anywhere, and safe from failures. People with excess storage can join the network if they have enough storage/bandwidth and pass some tests. Their API is S3 compatible.

I was thinking indoor hydroponics. Vertical farming.

Way less water than traditional growing. Like 90% less or something like that, but the LEDs aren’t cheap and use a lot if power. Also a lot less space.

Oh you’re right about the food for it. I wasn’t thinking about that. I can’t see any way they’d get those to parity even if it was room temperature.

Edit: Oh just a thought, but if we were able to somehow able to get the nutrients from things we were going to compost. But I have a feeling that’s not how that would happen, and that they wouldn’t be the proper nutrients for growing. Maybe way out in the future though like in Back To The Future, Mr. Fusion garbage fuel! Fresh meat from waste!

Growing plants outdoors takes a lot of water, and growing them indoors takes a lot of energy for the lighting.

Since lab grown meat won’t need all that light, energy costs might be lower, but maybe the energy to keep the growth happening at the right temperature will be quite high. You could offset some of that though with where its grown. Ultimately if we can do it close to room temperature that would be ideal, but I have no idea what the requirements are.

Overall though it might be exceptionally environmentally and climate friendly in it’s own rights, not just compared to raising the animals to kill them.

The fire scene in Roma has some great fire sounds on atmos

Bodkin was a great show!

I can’t remember if this was Bodkin or another one, but pretty sure it was bodkin, there was a water scene where they had water coming from all around the room, and it really sounded like you were there water wise.

Thanks for straightening that up, my bad.

Value village is Walmart.

They don’t come any shittier than that company wise.

Still hoping for that sequel. It’s not dead yet!

The saying goes, start when Riker gets his beard which is season 2.

Season 1 might put you off and you can come back to it.

If you want to start in season 1, and decide to bail, just jump to season 2.

If you enjoy 2 you could always go back and catch up on 1

Kudos to whoever that was. It’s not easy to beat the IRS
