Probably you are better off if you search for a hipster (and probably overpriced :) ) ferments maker in your neighbourhood. I am sure you could make tasty kimchi, but is it worth your time?
You may be right. I mention it just because we have friends that made their own and gave us some once, and it was great. But maybe I just need to find convenient supply.. Gotta find the nearest korean shop 🤔
I don’t know if it qualifies as first-principles, but the drone analysis was some good thinking, breaking down the seeming absurdity of what it takes to get a burrito. Then again, think about the energy required for an early human to get a meal. Lots of inefficiencies there too with all the hunting and gathering, etc. I wonder what the cost of that burrito was in terms of calories (the fuel in the car and energy burned from the human), and how that compares to what it would take to hunt/gather a similar amount of calories. :::End random thought of the day:::
This is one of the benefits of e-commerce.. you can have 1 UPS truck with the packages of hundreds of people make the round rather than have a hundred people jump in their 2000lbs vehicles to drive to the store/restaurant.
It's also why a bicycle is such an efficient transportation mode!
Guilty of preparation-procrastination..
Don't buy the book just yet, I wrote up Redstone's story :-)
Make a sauerkraut smoothie. Not as bad as eating it. And Kimchi is definitely better than both. And there is a cheat code: https://www.avogel.co.uk/food/products/molkosan-digestion/
Smoothie?! Didn't expect that. I think I need to learn how to make kimchi 🤔
