Do you want me to agree with you that big ag is shit? Well, I do.
Do I know about cross pollination? Yep, been keeping bees for a long time, though rice is wind pollinated and you aren’t controlling that anymore than my bees flight.
Have you lived in Asia? Most of what is called farms in the west are not for profit, they are a family with a few hectares of land, maybe a water buffalo. Water Buffalo are getting scarce though, what’s more common is having someone come in with a rice harvester to gather your crop, which is its own problem.
So $10k means nothing if you aren’t selling, or you sell $200.
Golden Rice was developed to address Vitamin A defiency, studies show it helps. It would be great if the whole thing was permissive license, it’s not though. This is what we have. So far it has only been grown in trials with local development agencies, Big Ag won’t touch it because of potential liability.
ETA: you want a hill to die on, go for anything Roundup Ready™ or GMO corn, not because it’s GMO, but because of the bullshit IP and the fact it is used overwhelmingly for ethanol production, not food, and has huge subsidies.
Golden Rice was the first transgenic crop to be created that benefited people not companies or farmers, yet its use has been blocked from the start,” Potrykus told the Observer last week. “I am extremely worried about the decision of the Philippines court, not just for its impact on the take-up of Golden Rice but its effect on the growing of other transgenic crops.”
This view is shared by many scientists. In 2016, more than 150 Nobel laureates signed an open letter that attacked Greenpeace for campaigning against Golden Rice and other GM crops
Eliminating reach-through rights and technologies that don’t show up in the most recently developed Golden Rice versions leaves us with only a few patented technologies, all of which have been made available for humanitarian purposes free of charge. The licensing process was quick and simple, contrary to what many onlookers believe. Similar projects are looking at this licensing agreement as a good example of how this kind of arrangements between the public and the private sector can be made, especially for humanitarian purposes.

It certainly does, hitting all the high notes. Its got all the hype with no substance. It reads like a mashup of vc pitch speak and the poorly translated installation instructions for a chinese water heater.
I had a cellphone case that ‘brought more enjoyful experience to users’.
They don’t explain what splitting off Firefox actually means.
Those sentences are not in the English language though, hence my question.

I have a plastic cistern which has started leaking, only when flushing. The cisterns in the region are installed to sit on a foam ring (~12mm thick), which serves as a gasket. The foam eventually fails. I’m baffled because failing foam looks no different than new foam. They charge €10 for these gaskets that probably...
The plastic ‘bolts’ really suck. You can replace them with steel if you don’t need to take it apart again in a few months ( I would recommend against it though), stainless or brass would be my choice. Coating the threads with heavy waterproof grease helps in any case to prevent wicking.
I’m with you, I hate replacing something that should work. To me it’s not just the money but needless waste. I will spend time to keep things out of the land fill. It would be nice to shoot things sometimes but not really an option for me.
Much hydration, so bubbles. Sorry doge dog just died.
Anyway, what was you fermentation time and temperature for this? I really like high hydration (like this) and very low hydration {45-50%), middle ground I find a bit boring.
Looks delicious.
ETA: yeast, not sourdough, small amount of sugar, 4 hour bench rise?

I really like minced garlic in water, most insects, birds, cats hate it.
Mince garlic, add to water, let sit in the sun a few days, it will smell terrible. Filter out the garlic, put in a spray bottle, spray on plants. After harvest, rinse well.
Some people add a few drops of liquid soap to make it cling to the leaves and stems better, I prefer not to.
I was gifted a 900 Gram bag of Milo (I assume that’s some shrinkflation crap). I love Malt and Cocoa, but this is bland and chalky. What do I do with it?

I cut 2 slices off, and they were terrible, as the title says. Gummy, flavor not fully developed. Exactly what I want. This is what I want from a sandwich bread. I will slice and toast this for the next few days. Toasting will firm it up, develop Maillard reactions, and allow any liquid to be sponged up. Marinated Pork Belly,...
I went to the lady I buy vegetables from and asked for some mild, flavorful chilies. Cutting the first one I could tell they were not mild. When life gives you 500 grams of the wrong chilies, you make hot sauce. The flavor is great, but wrong for the dish I was making....
