The advantage with photosynthesis is that it also produces side products which are usually edible, tasty .. and perhaps useful for making furniture. Also, it is low maintenance compared to a lot of alternate options

I think it is more fun and fulfilling to attempt to do something with the land - to make it useful towards the local community, than leaving it to nature to just fill the land. For instance, if you make a small pond, you could suddenly have

What I find interesting is the cross platform UI from V which also compiles for Android: https://github.com/vlang/ui It does seem to be still in its very early stages but if they are able to make this a more mature lib

I sometimes wonder if the Just Stop Oil and similar road-block, disruptive protests are slyly funded by the oil companies to increase hatred towards the entire climate activism movement. I can't see how this sort of protests can earn a

Haven't you heard the argument that livestock raising releases methane/CO2 etc?
316.
by pkphilip 3y ago

The situation is not better with motorcycles. The heavy use of electronics has made it very difficult to diagnose issues. I have a friend who has a Triumph which suddenly moved the bike into a ride mode so slow it is only used for taking bi

Child and human sacrifices were surprisingly common across the world. Many countries had to pass special laws to ban these practices - but it hasn't yet been rooted out.
