Language can be a time machine—we can learn from ancient texts how our ancestors interacted with the world around them. But can language also teach us something about people whose language has been lost?

Since the newest update, I see Kbin on a different language. I think it's Polish, or some similar language.

The ultimate goal of democracy is to allow people to organize themselves and their society in whatever way they see fit. If the enforcement (or lack thereof) of this law is not in strides with national law, I don't see the problem with this ordinance. It is a way of putting some more social pressure to the habit of smartphone usage in public spaces and the daily life of people in this town. People who don't follow through suffer literally no consequence, but I bet it will change habits for what the inhabitants of this town think it's for the better. Let them have this, I say.
I like Yerba mate but places that stock it get it imported from overseas where it has to travel thousands of miles to get to the shop. I was wondering how well Yerba mate would grow in Australia.
I've never heard of Yerba mate users successfully planting their own crops, but I guess you don't loose much with trying. You could turn it into a project. If you build some sort of greenhouse then weather shouldn't be a problem. But there are Southamericans and Syrians everywhere in the world, and therefore also mate everywhere in the world. Your own consumption isn't going to make a dent in the export of yerba across the world, and, in my opinion, food is the last thing we should stop moving across the planet when fighting global warming. Private jets, unnecessary overseas vacations, useless consumerism, etc are doing much more to warm the planet than yerba exporting. Still, I think it's cool you're trying to reduce your carbon footprint. Cheers to that.
