I so wish we could duplicate a pomegranate shell or an orange skin. Such materials would be great for packaging. I have seen pomegranates and certain varieties of oranges last for more than two months when stored in cool and dry places.

No. The moment bribe is legalized, it stops being a bribe. That is, the officials get a kick out of this whole shady operation. If we deny them this pleasure, they will find other ways. As it stands today, there is no accountability in the

I think it is prudent if we are constantly vigilant and detect monopolistic behaviors ASAP. Why wait till the entity truly becomes a monopoly and has enough power to topple governments?

"The Big Bribe Industry" is a very organized sector and unofficially official. It is absolutely naive to believe that it can be destroyed. It is almost impossible to get a job done in a timely manner without bribing the official.

I understand what you say. I mostly agree, but just wanted to push the semantics to the limit ;) >> Yes, but by that definition every group of bits on a computer is a database. The word sort of loses any value. Not exactly. We need to

And what do you think will happen when all devs and users join Microsoft? The same cycle will repeat.

Planes fell and software was blamed. By extension, the developers were blamed too.

I agree with you.

This is so funny. I once worked on a year long project. The aim was to reduce customer escalations for my client. Changed the architecture of an extremely complex software making sure no regressions occurred and all new features worked flaw

China is an adversary? Tell me this when Apple packs up and leaves China for good. And Google stops seeing China as a market. And ... Multi-national corporations are what they are because they have no loyalty to any country. Profit is the g

There is no difference between alcoholism and workaholism. Both are manifestations of lack of control over self.

More than 75% of Asian population is lactose intolerant. Milk is not good for us. Body adapts to smoking and alcoholism. Does that make cigarettes and alcohol good for us? Coffee is a potent nerve stimulant, but too much of it makes you ins

Indians know, or atleast knew till a few decades ago, that garlic and onion are medicines. They have known for centuries. I have no idea about Italians and Greeks.

>>Rather, they let a specific kind flourish... ... at the expense of others. Garlic is mentioned exactly once in the study. It is just included with a bunch of other things. Nothing to conclude here. Garlic is, by no means, a food. An

It is a sign of my system being cleaner than it was before. Onion and garlic are extremely potent medicines. They are not food. They have antibiotic properties and kill bacteria. Our guts have microbes. Now, connect the dots...

People far wiser than you advocated against eating animal flesh. Ham (pig flesh) is especially a big no-no in many religions for a reason. Cooking is inferior. You cannot better nature. It just is not possible.

I have seen results that are nothing less than a miracle. I know what works. I do not need a bunch of metrics to see if I am eating properly. I have never seen an animal refusing to eat because it could not calculate the calories or nutrien

The elephant thing was an example. Humans too can get whatever they need from plant sources. The day humans start eating raw fresh or rotten meat and find enjoyment in that is the day I will accept that humans are meant to eat other animals

Fats and proteins are available in fruits. I eat legumes occasionally and nuts etc. very rarely. The funniest thing is, once your system is reset, many foods that seem OK cause troubles. I could eat a lot of onions and garlic in the past. N

Not at all. All the protein a human needs can be sourced from plants and in huge quantities. Even grass has enough protein to help an elephant grow to ~1.5 tonnes.

Since everything is sourced from nature, for argument's sake, even plastic can be called natural. However, as far as food is concerned, I have started treating foods that have been manipulated in any way by a human or a machine as unna
