Agreed. Gravity is a theory. An apple fell on my head is a fact.

"Holding to account" doesn't necessarily imply wrongdoing or having been mistaken. It simply means someone is watching and there is expected responsibility for proclamations and actions. Similar to a student or employee or a

We won't have any of decades of power shifts and class struggles to contend with this time with the "glorious workers revolution"? Oh but we will. Those things always exist.

There's a non old world honeybee the Maya kept. They still do. Not closely related to old world honeybees. But it produces a fraction of the honey. https://www.thoughtco.com/ancient-maya-beekeeping-169364

Looking around at insane and drugged up street people (for instance) intuitively I say "Yes definitely, and it should be more widely practiced!". Then I remember how the definition of mental illness has changed over the years and

Government agents looking to control narrative outside of calls to illegal behavior is ginned up nonsense? It's unsurprising for sure, but still improper and disturbing in a nominally free and democratic society.

There's actually nothing wrong with flipping burgers. In my opinion it's more useful then what a vast number of highly paid people do for work.

I wonder if the same type of alienation appeared in late Soviet Russia or Mao's (or even current day) China? That was also people having the humanity ground out of them by a faceless technocratic machine not really a happy community of

While I agree Trump did pardon a large number of shitbags, so did Clinton. Marc Rich? And Trump even pardoned Rod Blagojevich a powerful and horribly corrupt Democrat. So much for the swamp draining I guess. The corruption of the powerful a

Interesting read on Lake Urmia! One thing that terrain is not though is part of the Lake Urmia watershed, as it's high mountains that have obviously been inhabited for a long time.

Managed properly, yes. The soils of the Midwestern US were formed largely by herds of migratory bison for instance. The problem comes in when you don't defer grazing or give things a chance to regrow (see video in sib comment below). T

Also I didn't realize you were founder of this company. I thought you were just a guy on the internet. Good work! Very interesting ideas in your videos. People think because something looks like a tomato it is all the same. But there i

Thanks! So you will grow on string and do lean and lower? Or use the high lift vehicle to prune and harvest? I've been in some of the greenhouses in Mexico, (Sinaloa to be exact) growing peppers and Asian eggplants. They were fairly si

1) Where in the US will these be deployed? 2) What will you grow (produce probably?) 3) If produce is to be grown, how will it be price competitive with field grown produce from the US and Mexico? Will it be "specialty"?

Not all women are into activism. In fact, as an older guy (who has been through a number of relationships in my younger days) I'd advise a guy to strongly avoid those who are into activism. For the same types of reasons I'd avoid

There is a command line utility (pdf2text) that will also parse the pdf to an XML tree and you can query with XPaths. I found it works well. https://pdfminersix.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/comma...

I agree, if we can somehow keep the very wealthy from using their wealth to control the rest of society through purchasing politicians etc. (No problem with them buying all the yachts and caviar they want).

I don't mind taxes. I do mind money being taken from productive capacity and wasted on war, corruption or (ineffectively) on various type of quasi-religious social engineering and propaganda.

We looked at it, but it was a little "different" and we didn't want the learning curve, so we went with ScaleGrid instead. This caching does look cool, perhaps I'll revisit PlanetScale later on my own time.

"Industry" seems like a misnomer somehow here. I have nothing against cryptocurrency (and have a small amount myself) but the ecosystem surrounding it seems the polar opposite of "industrious" as I usually think about th

Agreed. Old school Wranglers are tough. Only problem is you feel like you are wearing pants made of plywood for the first several months before they break in.

Arguably, eating fish is only a sign of affluence in areas where fish is not plentiful and cheap. But I like your hobby!

Yep, San Pedro in particularly root really well from cuttings. (I won't ask "why" you were rooting trichocerus lol). But Saguaro are quite different. They have an internal woody skeleton. I think they are the only member of t
