I actually really wasn't being facetious. It was my understanding that podcasts were an Internet centric thing, and was curious whether there were offline versions I wasn't aware of.
I love the idea of an "aural mobile tradition" (so to speak I guess). The idea of a content being traded via mobile untethered from a central server. I suppose that's kind of like Bittorrent for mobile?
In case anyone isnt getting the sarcasm in the title, quote from the article:
>Since I happened to have a pound of almonds in the refrigerator I decided to count up those little water suckers and see how much water it takes to produce a pound of almonds. It was bad. Four hundred and thirty-three gallons of water.
>Four hundred and thirty-three? Wait a minute. How about a pound of beef? (I dare say it’s a lot easier to eat a pound of beef than it is to eat a pound of almonds.) According to the folks at waterfootprint.org it takes between 3,000 and 5,000 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef.
As someone at the very other end of the 20s spectrum:
1. My own responsibility towards myself and my life weighs a lot more heavily on me at 29 than it did at 22. At 22 I had faith that it would work out, somehow. I think that's a feeling to be taken advantage of while you still have it.
2. Conversely, I also realize now that I won't be successful at something that I don't like, and that doing something I like is worth more than money. Obviously this only works to a certain extent, I still need to live. But it seems more and more that as long as you are pursuing you believe in and enjoy, you aren't poor in spirit.
My point being: maybe don't worry so much for the feasibility of your dreams at this moment in your life.
An extension I use regularly got zapped (Website Screenshot). There are definitely alternatives out there, but it's a little annoying that there was no indication as to WHY it was removed. Oh well.
This is an absurdly broad comment. The US has been a super power for over half a century. You've distilled decades of complex foreign policy involving every nation on earth down to a five sentence blanket condemnation.
Someone from a rich family has more of a safety net, straight out of the gate, than someone from a poor family.
