There’s something to be said for culture and tradition, which have been for a long time the cornerstones of our civilization.

Everybody has their own opinion on this of course. For me, I feel that culture and tradition are in the way of progress. At some point our current traditions, cultures and values will change, they will evolve. I’m all in for a true multicultural society if there is a clear segregation between state and religion.

1 or 2. If they go for the eyes, It may be a fight to the death with two.

Shower thought: what if the defence budget of every country would be donated to open source software instead of killing devices?

Cucumbers are the gateway veg.

you are entirely correct., and the first person to spot my simple math mistake.

thanks for correcting 😊

I did nothing of the kind. You’re trying to provoke me by saying so.

I provided monsanto as an example next to other producers in the industry.

I never claimed or wanted imply to be an expert. I worked with brilliant minds who were. My account here is a recollection of what was explained to me by them. Not an opinion. I honestly don’t even have an idea if it’s biased since thiis was my only source of information.

Ok. Let’s say we have 4 hour workdays, 4 day work weeks. Not just for white collar.

A business would require to hire 2 more people to cover a 24h continuous prosuction line (3 8h shifts to 5 4h shifts).

there would be more employment and higher productivity. More happiness I suspect.

I’d take it.

Your information is way off. Bayer bought the glysophate business from Monsanto. BASF bought the cropscience business from Bayer. The seeds are in production.

I mentioned genetic engineering on top of crossbreeding. Yes there are many ways to achieve a goal. But a business is going to opt for the one with the fastest results.

the plants are cross bred for generations. Each time the seeds of the plants with the best desired properties are kept.

the seeds can also be treated (see "feminizing marijuana seeds) with chemicals to produce certain traits.

the producers of these seeds (like monsanto, bayer, basf, …) have large R&D groups where the dna of the seeds can be further tracked and modified if required.

these producers have large green houses just for breeding the plants and collecting the desired seeds.

these seeds are patented. The plants produce fruits to specifications. To protect the intellectual property, patents and business, they are made not to produce further offspring, so the farmer needs to buy the seeds year after year.

another trait that’s being developped in the plants, for example, is making the plant immune to glyphosate, allowing the farmer to wastefully spray the herbicide on the field. It will kill all plants except for the desired crops.

Glad I could be of service

I found dating apps may be helpful. I’m personally partial to romeo as I trust it most in terms of privacy over grindr.

I’m not a person who goes out a lot to parties or dancing.

Hikvision if you don’t mind sponsoring chinese govt for the hardware and blocking it from the internet.

That’s because the farmers now get a fair price for their harvest, right?

Thanks for sharing. Now I know why my battery never charges over 80% unless I force it

What’s the crowd funding site for Yuzu legal fees?

Helped a friend flee Myanmar the day the news hit.

He was lucky he had a passport so he could immediately start the visa process. The next day there were queues in front of the Thai embasseys and consulates of thousands of people. Thai officials announced they’d only process 400 requests a day.

when my friend finally arrived in Thailand, immigration took all the Burmese nationals aside for hightened scruteny. It took him more than 4 hours of being detained and questioned. I suspect they wanted a bribe (they used all kinds of bullshit reasons to send hin back, like "1000 usd is insufficient amount of cash to havr with you, 1000 usd is not Thai Bhat, return ticket is fake (it was not)).

they eventually let him pass because we made noise through our Thai connections. The rest of the Burmese nationals who were detained were likely sent back.

Very well put. I also avoid any appliance that needs internet or an app.

Kenwood is a great brand, but I’d never pay extra for it to become “smart”.
