Chilling. War gaming and probabilities surrounding the utility of nuclear weapon use no longer “taboo” is fascinating but morbid. I wonder how much stock is put into these scenario models by policy makers and leaders and how much is “gut i

The US makes empty promises. Read the Budapest memorandum in which we made security guarantees so Ukraine would give up its nuclear arsenal[0]. Russian aggression would certainly be much more calculated if Ukraine still had that capabilit

USDA economists last month projected food increase prices in 20202 of 2%-3% and food away from home 3-4%. This doesn't jive with this at all. Meat, poultry, eggs jumped 12-13% and seems like that isn't coming down anytime soon.

Arguable. Non-feedlot raised animals do evidence some seasonality in the texture and flavor of the meat. The nutritional value of the meat produced / consumed may be chemically similar although there is some research to support the hi

Because people keep buying them and no viable competitive manufacturing capability exists in the West anymore. Soon it will violate the warranty not to plug it into the network. Probably for “security” or to protect the children.

Cloud providers going through your photos and data for incriminating evidence in an automated way is a fairly new thing though. The more intrusive it gets the more likely the pendulum will swing. Not many consumers will encrypt unless it’s

Just giving clear non-satirical and honest feedback. The basic facts/history are incorrect. Not to mention the not-so implicit disrespect to the contributors (Sun, lolz! C modules oh-no omgz). If I was watching this in a 30-second t

Sorry you're just wrong or focussing on a topic not the one at hand. Of course SOC is good for soil health. But for sequestration over any meaningful time frame you need to go below plow depth. For further reading the best long term

The evidence that regenerative agriculture / soil carbon sequestration actually works is really thin. The only way you get functional sequestration over any meaningful time period is for the carbon to subsist below the plow layer of s
