I think mahogany’s comment is more important but I just want to add: how many subsidies they get doesn’t relate at all to what research they might fund. They’re deeply tied to the meat industry so would benefit more from increased consumpti

Aren’t cattle the biggest grain consumers, so wouldn’t that be counter productive? I’ve heard of the ag lobby and the meat and dairy lobbies but never big grain. Of course they exist and do something but going against the meat lobby just se

I don't get why people like honeycrisp so much. It's like a sweet, appley, cardboard.

I completely agree on all of this. I had an on again off again relationship with running before this year and it’s because… I ran in the same shoes for 8 years and I’d stop when my hip or knee felt off. Got new shoes this year and I’ve done

Pretty great thing to read coming back from a tempo run! I just go into it this year, and I'd like to say, it's more fun than I thought. Every aspect. If you get a heart rate monitor and dive into what you're doing even diffi

Sorry if it seems flippant, but I provided just as much justification for my argument as you did.

Yeah, exactly, and you only actually use 10% of your brain. Probably don’t need two hemispheres to be honest.

Seems like you are pluralizing your own anecdote. Sorry for your issues though.

Completely valid, I worried about that after I typed it but decided to leave it in to relate more to the article which opens on a wacky start up idea.

I try not to post too many empty “I totally agree” comments but man, brussel sprouts are amazing. Who ever popularized boiling them is a damn fool. Pan friend then oven roasted, just amazing. Best thing in the world. Also you’re right on al

I love all these whacky avenues people take when eating just plants is a very low foot print option available to almost everyone. We don’t need to eat crickets, we don’t need to eat algae, we don’t need bioreactors for growing meat. I think

I was directly calling out the bold and wrong claim that “it will be available for the masses” because that is entirely wrong. If I get cancer 10 years from now I could be in luck! But it doesn’t mean I should immediately assume everyone el

Couple points: - MRNA COVID vaccine patents weren’t open sourced or available for the third world but Cuba’s vaccine solutions are - simple things like dental care aren’t offered in the US I think you should replace “available for the masse

To some extent he actually thinks he can’t do anything wrong except be “too ambitious.” So the more undeniably-short-sighted-flat-out-wrong stuff he does the more logic goes out the window.

Cool that the new free speech-haven twitter doesn't allow advertising extensions internally or cartoons. Some proponents of free speech really only care if their speech is curtailed and care little about anyone else's.

Why not both? They will never tell you the unsavory things they're doing. At least, not without coercion.

Free for who to do what with? Sure, “the bird” will be free, in a sense, when it’s profitable and doesn’t care about advertisers, but that freedom is free for Elon to do whatever he wants with it. Not freedom for users or in any other (actu

It sure does, but they said "regardless of operating system." Outside of the apple-verse it still sucks.

You're missing the point. Of course we have "the technology" for them, but most companies/people decided it was a good idea to have progress bars lie.

Well, no matter what you read, you have to think about what the incentives are. Everything has a bias, especially people who claim to be unbiased. So if you really wanted to be "unbiased" you could at least spread that out.

I think we have vastly different values and even if we agreed on the same set of facts we wouldn't agree. Interesting talk, though.

Ok, let's check in next year and see if the US life expectancy rebounds from its two year decline. I'm guessing not though, if daily COVID deaths are anything to go by. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/
