Current western left wing values is too broad of a term.

From great ideas such as equal rights, that goes into the small details. Phrasing questions in classrooms to males only for examples. With great science behind it to show that it in fact removes success bias for males in maths.

To destructive ideas such as diversity hires.

From great ideas such as financial help to disabled people.

To destructive ideas such as forcing small businesses to be accessable with heavy fines that may break them.

From great ideas such as opposing the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.

To destructive ideas such as supporting Hamas. Which is a big WTF for me.

This is brilliant

Communism is also a stinking pile of shit.

This shit is so misleading. Fascism isn’t the only authoritarianism. They too are anti-fascists. But you don’t get free speech.

Nor is it a white only problem, or deadly only to Jewish people.

Importance of order changes by field. In my field, at least for in lab work: first is the main lab person that worked on the project. Last is the PI, everyone that helped goes in the sandwich. I’m unsure about collaborations between labs and at that point too afraid to ask.

This is brilliant

A folding solar panel to charge electronics using USB.

A small radio+torch+USB port that can be charged with a spinner and a solar panel.

Eating many coconuts will cause diarrhea.

Agree to terms, climb tree, pick a nut. Change terms by tossing the nut on the head of the wannabe job creator.

Eat the nut with fresh meat on the side. Die from dehydration.

This is both cute and very wholesome

We don’t have a stable way to feed 8 billion people. The dependency on monoculture will cause many people to die under a changing climate.

Self gardening may:

1. Increase food stability
2. Increase access to nutrients rich food, GR while saving many, reduced food quality
3. Be fucking tasty and cheap

TIL about pawpaws, thanks.

Yea, I had Basil im some apartments. The current one has no sun at-all. Basil needs some. But when I bought plants my father guided me how to split them. Gifted my friends, don’t need more then one.

I worked a few summers on a commercial organic farm and for many years in a small family plot. Maybe we are talking about different scales of transportation, quality control or different species of tomatoes.

I don’t live in the USA.

I just don’t live near a tomatoes field, however, it’s not just time, perfectly ripe tomatoes don’t survive transportation well. So mass production of tomatoes requires the picking of less ripe fruit.

It may be true for ‘soldier’ plants. However there are thousands of plant species that can’t be both efficiently mass produced and shipped while still being of good quality. So you get a bad produce, very costly produce or both.

I can’t afford fresh Basil leaves, I maintained a plant in my kitchen in some of the apartments I lived in. The current one doesn’t have enough sun. It took 10 minutes of work to arrange and emptying left over water.

Also, if you never tasted cherry tomatoes straight from the plant you don’t what you are missing, and how shity is the produce in the market.

Brave of you to run so far, and not consume the coffee within a safe distance of a toilet.

The current Iranian government raised up after a revolution led by Marxists and Islamists. After they dropped the previews government, the Islamists turned on the Marxists. This is why we have pictures of secular society from 50 years ago taken in Iran.

I don’t know, I assume, the Marxists got manipulated again now along with far left.

Russia already managed to organize both pro and anti demonstrations inside the US to get USA citizens to kill each other on other topics.

No reason to think people’s critical thinking was upgraded.

In addition to other comments,read about Ada Lovelace. She was brilliant, she wrote the first program, and done so before we had computers!

Was a guide in a youth movement, had one child that was way too disruptive when I tried to make camp for the group.

Sent him to the supply room to bring a straight rope. 30 minutes latter he comes, dragging along a straight rope, taking every turn very slowly, taking a fuckton of leaves with it. Camp was built.

When I was in charge of the supply room I saw many funny requests, and some that thought the very real device they were asked to bring was a prank. My favourite pranks are electricity powered and trees straightner.

I miss those parts of being a teenager.

Bahahaha, if I save all my income, for 3 years, I will not be able to buy a house. I may, may!, be able to collect enough for a down payment on a very shity apartment that will cost more over time as it’s already breaking down.
