19:45, 27 October 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Montreal/Mont-Royal (Created page with "Mont-Royal is Montreal's main mountain and largest greenspace. ==Conservation policy== frame There's a recent trend of blocking off smaller trails "for nature conservation". This is a terribly misguided decision, when you consider the bigger ecological picture. The mountain needs trails of all sizes - not just big paved ones, but small organic ones too, for people to really feel close to nature {{x|also, walking ''only...")
23:52, 23 October 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Nuclear (Created page with "==Fission== Nuclear fission is what's currently used in all of today's nuclear power plants. Fission derives energy from heavy radioactive elements - in particular, uranium. ===Supply=== Uranium is a mineral that occurs naturally as ''a mix of two isotopes'': uranium-238 (99.3%) and uranium-235 (0.7%). The proportion does not vary in nature. Current nuclear reactors can only derive energy from the uranium-235 part. If the whole world was powered ''only'' by...")

16:42, 22 October 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Anarchist peace talks (Created page with "If governments refuse to have peace talks, what if we just do it ourselves? : Example for the Russia-Ukraine war: Schedule some online meetings and bring together anarchists from both Russia and USA (or any other NATO country). The meetings could start with picking apart the narratives of both governments. Then slowly piece together solutions that don't involve war. After the meeting is done, people in each country could go on and share those solutions locally and g...")
17:35, 19 October 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Exercise/mention (Created page with "This subpage is for more stuff that should probably mentioned somewhere: ==Things that mess up your ability to exercise properly== ===Clothes=== Restrictive clothing can mess up your running form or lifting form. * When wearing jeans in general, any proper lifting form would probably rip the crotch. People compensate for this by unconsciously rounding their backs more. * Sweat pants are much better for running & lifting, '''until''' you actually sweat in them. Once the...")
22:52, 16 October 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Housing/Canada (Created page with "Does Canada have enough housing? Let's do a housing supply analysis using census data. ==All of Canada== {{aip}} ==Custom region== Download the 2021 census data for that region. Do the following calculations: ===Supply=== {{aip}} ===Demand=== {{aip}}")
22:47, 16 October 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Calculator (Created page with "This wiki has a built-in calculator. https://olam.wiki/calc Calculations can also be embedded in pages. Tutorial coming soon.")
22:20, 16 October 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Calculator/known bugs (Created page with "When you're editing & previewing a section of a page, if your calculation depends on a datapoint from a previous section, it'll get an "Unknown unit" error. But when you hit 'save page', the error will disappear - the actual page should show the calculation properly. Tip: edit a big enough section of the page that you can test/preview your calculation without this error. When declaring datapoints that depend on other datapoints, the order matters. If you reference a d...")
22:07, 16 October 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Calculator/feature requests (Created page with "Non-logged-in users can also make feature requests in Talk:Calculator. ==Misc== Inline calculations (green sections on pages) need some kinda notice like "click a part of the equation for more details". I dont wanna manually say it every time. The 'from previous calculation' box could really benefit from having the numerical value in it (preferrably in the 'units wanted' of the previous calculation. Is this easy to implement?")
21:20, 16 October 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Housing/footprint (Created page with "How many resources does it take for people to have housing? This is a page for some estimates. ==Single-detached home== ===Labor=== We could estimate labor by looking at ''some'' costs: * labor costs, obviously * material costs, because these generally reflect the labor that goes into producing the materials We ''don't'' want to count ''other'' costs: * zoning permits and other bureaucracy - maybe these exist in our ''current'' society but they don't ''have to'' exist...")
15:01, 7 October 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Nutrition/todo (Created page with "* Add the nutrient targets. Be sure to speak about both the ''recommended daily allowance'' and the ''tolerable upper level''. ** Decision: should it be by gender? and by age? or just some general estimate for the average adult? ** Decision: should the targets go under the ''nutrient targets'' heading, or be incorporated into each subheading of ''nutrients''? A bit of both, perhaps? On one hand, adding numbers too early might overwhelm the reader; on the other hand, havi...")
12:36, 7 October 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Nutrition (Created page with "What makes food ''healthy'' or ''unhealthy''? Hopefully this page can clear up some misunderstandings. ==Nutrients== Healthy eating involves keeping every nutrient within some ''optimal range'' {{x|The range depends on your age, gender, physical activity level, etc. The exact numbers will be available in another part of this page.}} - in other words, "not too much, not too little". But it can be quite tedious to track every nutrient manually, so people typically re...")
10:38, 7 October 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Energy/units (Created page with "=Energy/units= ''Physicists'' measure energy in ''joules'', because a joule is based entirely on metric units {{x|kg * m2 / s2}}. But a joule is a bit too small for the kinds of calculations we do on this wiki. Here are some other energy units for comparison: {|class="wikitable" !Unit !Joules !Note |- |watt second |1 |Electrical ''power'' is often measured in ''watts''. A watt is the same as ''1 joule per second''. |- |calorie (lowercase) |4 |...")
11:44, 28 September 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Plant-based (Created page with "Plant-based food comes from plants rather than animals. ==Reasons== More environmentally friendly, due to * Eating food crops more directly, instead of feeding them to animals and eating the animals, which is inefficient. * Avoiding the methane emissions of cows. Less animal cruelty * Cows, chickens, and pigs suffer in factory farms, where conditions are far worse than the nice farms you see in children's storybooks. Factory farms exi...")

09:11, 28 September 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Zoning (Created page with "Zoning means ''designating different areas for different purposes''. Parts of a city (or town) may be zoned as residential, commercial, or industrial. There are good reasons for doing this, but it can also be done wrong. ==Harmful zoning laws== Some suburbs have nothing but houses. People end up having to drive excessively just for basic things like groceries, school, work, or recreation. This makes life unnecessarily expensive, and is harmful to the en...")

17:17, 26 September 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Biomass waste (Created page with "''Biomass waste'' refers to the ''parts of food crops'' that humans '''can't''' eat. This material is mostly fibre (cellulose). '''Examples:''' * banana leaves * peanut shells * coconut shells * empty corn cobs with no kernels. * straw '''Abundance:''' * Production is roughly equal to food production, because about half of the average food crop is biomass waste (the other half is food). * This page needs more precise numbers. '''Uses:''' # All biomass waste can be...")
21:48, 21 September 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Feed efficiency (Created page with "Farm animals eat, and they also produce food. Feed efficiency refers to the ratio of ''output (food)'' per ''input (feed)''. There are a few ways to quantify outputs and inputs, such as * total mass * dry mass * calories * protein Within each of those, one might also specify whether we're talking about * ''all'' material, or * just the proportion that is ''human-edible'' Lastly, we could specify whether the inputs & outputs are * ''over the full lifetime'' of the animal...")
03:46, 14 September 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Crop choices/per capita (Created page with "Supplemental info to go with the food production map on the crop choices page. :"New scenario" here refers to the same scenario shown in the map. :"Farmland" refers to cropland. :"Crops per day" refers to Term:primary production, which is significantly more than the food people actually eat. :"Top yielding crop" is just one of many. See the full chart for all cro...")
04:05, 6 September 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Corn (Created page with "Corn is a food crop grown in most parts of the world. There are 3 main types of corn: * Sweet corn (1% of all corn grown in the USA) ** This is the ''corn on the cob'' that people are most familiar with. * Field corn (98% of all corn grown in the USA) ** Used for making corn chips, corn muffins, and other starchy foods. ** Can be converted into sugars (high fructose corn syrup). ** Also used as animal feed. ** Sometimes referred to as "dent corn". * Popcorn (1% of a...")
09:23, 1 September 2022 Elie talk contribs created page Underutilized foodstuffs (Created page with "Underutilized foodstuffs include anything abundant that isn't generally eaten by humans but could be - and could provide valuble nutrients. Ongoing list: * molasses (people do eat it, but far more of it is produced than consumed by humans). {{x|This is because it's a byproduct of something more widely consumed: sugar. Molasses contains a lot of nutrients ... this should probably be its own page}} * avocado seed * wheat germ * canola meal (or whole canola rather than...")
