There’s more than one way to skin a cat. And sometimes the method that worked on one cat will all come undone another time. Having said that the method that makes, to overly extend this macabre analogy, things feel like fun - seems like a m

I see a borderline failed state. The fact people are rushing there from other failed states is no signifier of confidence as far as I’m concerned. Generally I see it as a warning sign for western ideals, and a great tragedy waiting to unfo

Not to be rude but did you bother to think before writing that post? Sri Lanka is a net importer of food. It is not self sufficient. You can’t get a organic premium if you can’t feed your own people, and organic food has a well known yield

you do realise that you aren't sterilising anything though right? It's not a crap shoot - it's a unnecessary step since you aren't actually achieving anything. You might as well not do that step

I don't think parent's comment is meant to be a dissertation on the roots and origins of conflict, but a reflection on history in general. Does HN always have to descend into a strong-systemiser race to the root cause?
