The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!

We’re kicking things off with a space just for vegans! Inspired by our friends over at Hexbear, this thread is the spot to chat about what’s on your mind, what’s happening, and what you’re planning for the week.

Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!

Got any ideas?

We’re also taking suggestions for essay topics, recommended readings, or any resources that could help each other out. Feel free to drop in links, ask for advice, or contribute any other materials you think would be useful for the community and we can start adding to the megathread.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to and what we can explore together!

You are definitely smarter than I am lol.

We got the ambient weather WS-2000. I think we are most interested in tracking the weather in our local area over time and observing how it changes. We've lived here for 3 full years now and the first two had violent storms and tornados, but this year has been really calm. Maybe if we are tracking data objectively we will better understand our risks.

The rainfall gauge will be helpful in the garden for sure!

Nah there's heaps of shit I can't do and even the stuff I'm alright at I'm not very good at (after all, not like it's built yet haha).

Risks like long term staying and mitigation of natural disasters?

Along those lines, but more short term and less intense, lol.

I don't really see us moving - we have good groundwater supply and aren't on a flood plain. Our area has been mapped to a 1-in-350 year event and while I know climate change is unpredictable, I'm not super worried.

Because the first two years here were so bad we spend a considerable amount of money on things like putting a bit of flooring down in the basement so it would be nicer to hide out there in storms (versus the rough and cold concrete floor) as well as generators and battery backups. I'm sure we will be happy when we need them, but we went a little nuts.

Hopefully with the weather station we can be more objective about what we are seeing and as we gather data over time, begin to understand our climate and how it is changing.
