I only submitted it once but noticed it took an exceptionally long time. Apologies.

Excuse me?

Yes, the dormant Commerce Clause specifically. One state cannot unduly burden interstate commerce nor use their size to force national standards since manufacturers cannot feasibly have a California packaging, then another for 49 other states.

Sadly, there is a real chance that the suing states prevail.

Yes, it is possible to make some cheeses in an apartment.When I got into it 15 years ago, it was just my family and internet instructions. The mozarella and ricotta turned out fine. More complex, not really. Start with these.

I love linen and I love rayon (lyocell) but I’ve never seen a blend. It sounds heavenly. Congratulations on the find.

My family all bead except for me. They’ve done it for 25 years and love it. Yes, there is some gear, but it’s not terrible as far as hobbies go. That said, there must be at least 10,000 beads in my house now. It bothers me as a minimalist, but it makes everyone else happy so they stay.

Here’s how I did last month on my solar punk journey as a minimalist in South Florida.

My solar subscription generated 2,283 kWh against 2,209 kWh used including charging for my electric car (likely a wash with data center usage for the family). I also had my last round interview at an amazing local ESG company which will allow me to escape my toxic culture fossil fuel job. The few clothes I own are falling apart, but rather than buying new, I’m off to Goodwill to see if I can find some natural fabrics that work. Sadly, my local grocery store closed which will make me more reliant on driving and delivery to get food. At least both are electric.

I hope you are also making steps on your paths and would love to read about them and get ideas.
