2) species loss ... ok maybe this is an issue, it's subjective and depends on your feelings though. Massive extinction events have happened regularly in the Earth's past from various means. How much species diversity is exactly the right amount? do you feel like playing god to determine that? humans have cultivated huge quantities of biomass in the form of crops, cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, there are probably more animals alive on the planet today than at any time in the past, let's celebrate mammalian abundance husbanded by humans! ... are they just not the "right" animals for your liking? my liking? his liking? should we all be living in teepees and hunting the roaming meager herds of buffalo in competition with wolves and large cats? Who really knows what is the right balance for number of species and quantities of each species that should be alive on earth at any particular time? It's just an excessively complicated question to believe anyone who claims to know the answer, they are just bullshitting you to gain an advantage over you somehow.
Very much the crux of the matter as I see it. Yes, as I have consistently maintained, my preference for the complex and diverse arrangement of forms out of which human intelligence arose is largely aesthetic. You have demonstrated yourself not to be willfully ignorant. You must understand that your preference for a subdued planet brought wholly under the reign of humanity is also aesthetic, a selfish and misguided aesthetic in my view but there it is. I do not demand that you share my aesthetic values, though I will resist the conversion of wildness to commodity to the end. We need natural habitats because it is where we, humans, will at some time spend all of our time in the absence of meaningful high intelligence requiring jobs. With machines already on the verge of doing very complicated tasks much better than us and getting true insight into the nature of things (that they would be probably incapable of conveying back to us-see my other post), we would need nature more than ever. Just one example: a machine is capable of reading X-rays 150 times faster than radiologist (making 250-300K/year) and giving a better diagnosis. How you are going to compete with it? You can't, basically, unless you implement some luddite laws, but then you lose productivity. While I quite appreciate nature I don't see why it would be needed (at the place in time that you are describing). Nature is just one among an uncountable amount of things to keep yourself entertained with. I know the balance is governed by mortality, death exists to make room. If you do not give birth, aging and death will disappear

My limited experience with raising fish in ponds:
1. Dig a deep hole, as deep as possible. We have rock 2 meters down. Line with fish pond liner (like heavy duty black garbage bags)
2. Add some rocks from the garden onto the liner.
3. Fill with water or wait for it to rain.
4. Research fish native to the area
5. Buy some pond plants the fish like to eat, put in pond and wait a couple of months for them to become established. Add lilies for shade.
6. Buy some baby fish and dump them in the pond.
7. Ignore for a year and let them be fish. Don’t feed them.
8. Be continually surprised at how big the bastards are.
Total set up costs: about $2k, mostly labour for hole digging, lining the pond and materials. Total running costs: $0.
If I was to do it again, I would plan for more comprehensive shade to reduce algae growth. Overhanging trees would be good but we have space restrictions with current pond location.
Main thing for me is keeping an eye on water levels. We tend to lose more to evaporation than we get in rain due to dry climate, so we have to supplement some times. Deeper pond with more shade would help here.
This is pretty much what I've been looking for. Do you have any idea if it's possible to balance out multiple types of fish/shrimp in a way that doesn't have either population dwindle to zero? And to what extent do you have to worry about how many you can eat, or is your pond strictly decorative? +2 WOsMerit

I do find it strange that this threads participation and viewership rises considerably when such off topic posts are made however... I am sure it is just a coincidence.
Screw global warming, let's talk more about the chick with the shovel. OK why did they linger filming the shovel at the beginning of the full clip? its like in every action hero movie scene.... the big object filming @the start of the scene is the one thats gonna save the day

Da fuk happened in here? JJG finally takes a break and ya'll encouraging r0ach to fill the gap? Whoa.. However due to the engagement, I'm finally understanding how his mind works and why he persists here. And I thought it was just trolling all along. Yeah JJG is long time, probably to busy @the holliday dayzzz, if he has the same amount of Words to spread @ the family table, or when one asking him “how is that BTC thing?” Yeah than the party isn’t over yet haha he was being a monumental prick that last night he was here, perhaps an epic hangover? Ya, finally earned himself an ignore and ironically I'm reading roach posts. Haha

I always wandered what exactly "bro down" meant there. Like 'bro is down and out' or 'bro is down for some ka-ching!

I think you can have predators and prey in the same pond so long as you have a big pond with lots and lots of hiding places for the prey. No experience with salmon or shrimp but at a guess you could try bundles of large rocks in wire cages. That would create lots of hiding spots and crevices especially if you built the pond walls that way but it would obviously increase your set up costs. Our pond is decorative and not that big but can support a fair amount of life. So a big pond would easily support enough for your dinner table just not commercial quantities. If you want to do it cheap, the best way to do it is have the fish eat plants that grow in the pond and insects that fall in / lay their eggs in the pond. That way it all naturally balances out.
