You can put it in the fridge. Extraction is just weaker (than I like) at lower temperature with thermodynamics and everything.
At 12 hours, you have lighter extraction than 24 hours.
I think about it like chemistry: more interaction between solvent (water) molecules and solute (coffee grounds), more extraction. So adding any of these is more interaction and extraction:
  • time
  • temperature (hot molecules move more than cold ones)
  • motion
  • finer solute (finer grind)
One thing I haven't tried is adding motion. I'd like to maybe get a shaker or stirrer that I can leave on for the full brew.

Cold brew. Steep at room temperature for 12-24 hours, strain, then you have concentrated cold brew you can dilute with water. It also preserves the subtle flavors and lacks the acidity of hot coffee.

Awesome article to see alongside non-bitcoin things. Any idea how many people get the publication or who its readers are?
I wasn't familiar with some of the stats shared - like how long it takes to provision new power vs expectations of it being available. I also love the term "bridge tenant" which self-describes in a way that I'll easily remember it when discussing bitcoin mining with someone.

I wonder if the frontiers of science have always been this messy or it's only the messy things that are left.

It should. We might reject if it’s too small

Backpacking foods in general are a good move. Pemmican would also be a smart move, but purchasing it is expensive.

Even with electricity and water you might not want to cook for other reasons, but mine is mostly a manufactured scenario that I haven't found great non-cooking answers to.

Okay, so 4 hotdogs, 4 chips, 4 sodas for $20. I probably couldn't live off of that for very long, but it'd work.

hmmm a cooked chicken here is <$20, but not $6 except at Costco. That's not a bad option though if there's enough left over for a couple hundred more calories.

Even half pound of moist (fatty) brisket is probably too light on calories (even if it were pure fat it'd only have 2k calories) and smoked brisket most places is >$30/lb now.
If you could get very fatty brisket + a couple bananas, that could work.
