They are inferior goods and require warmth and sun, that's what they are limited by, the Canadian latitudes. Try American raspberries, it's a world apart.

Not the point. If you can grow then why are Canadian supermarket produce so awful compared to American tomatoes and raspberries? Think about that for a second and why that would be the case, if not for fundamental geographic limitations (th

It's not a skill issue, it's a sunlight and temperature issue based on geographical science. There are hard limitations, including the length of the growing season. Canadians are also arrogant; most have never tasted the produce i

That's nice, I remember reading about sodium citrate and maybe having to bake baking soda in the oven or something like that. Getting it from lemon juice would be a lot easier.

I think Moshe is right but chose a really poor analogy in Big Tobacco, I want to say because working in tech is not at all like a farmer working laboriously in a physical field which is a lot less ideological and more driven by being in a p

That's because of your framing that it must be a conspiracy theory people are jumping on. How many people are actually doing that, and why is it so important to shut that sector down? There's an analytical context to these kinds o

Cool video, but I didn't understand the argument about emergent memory. I got confused where they said the "coupling" between the object's direction and a large group of ants.. constitutes a working memory? They appeal t
