I make cheese, including paneer, which is just pressed cheese curds. In fact, several types of cheeses are made from simple curds, including cottage cheese and quark.
The stomach of a young mammal naturally turns milk into curds and when. It solidifies the milk so that it digests more slowly, and the young mammal gets more out of it. Our ancestors turned breast milk into a primitive cheese, in their stomachs.
When a baby spits up milk, think about what it looks like - it's curds. Our ability to make curds from milk disappears about the same time our so-called milk-teeth start falling out.
As a result, to make cheese, you need the stomach lining of a young mammal to turn your milk to curds. Old mammals have lost the ability.
As a Canadian, I doubt the part about our "net benefit". As extreme weather becomes more common, it will become less comfortable for everyone. Maybe Canadians will be better off than Mexicans, but the farther out from the Goldilocks zone we go, the worse it's going to be, globally.
As for countries, I have doubts they can ever achieve anything. Real change is done at the community level.
Very clever, had a hard time with showering and dressing. Obnoxious, loud, and full of unpleasant remarks, but mostly very productive at our small start-up.
We didn't have to deal with him - he got dealt with by the police. Turns out his drug habit got him involved with not nice people, and in order to repay the money he owed them, he stole all the computers and monitors from our office once night. Some of my office mates got to see him arrested, as they left work after him one night.
Brilliant, but impulsive, with no long-term thinking. He was like a 13-year-old boy in many regards.
He got off on all charges, as he was coerced into committing his crime.
EI (Employment Insurance, for those outside of Canada) is designed to make sure you can get by, but not comfortably; the government wants you working. And it's being changed to reduce the benefits for frequent (ab)users. I've known plumbers that work during the spring, summer and fall, and then go on EI for the winter (and spend it in Mexico).
I've been paying into for about 25 years, and have never once used it. And more than a couple of months at the ridiculously low rate would put us in a huge financial hole. It would be nice if at least a portion was based on how much you contributed - maybe salary matching for a month between jobs - and then to the much lower rate.
Those farms produce a lot of empty calories for processed foods. They don't really feed people; I highly doubt I could survive on a diet of corn. And feeding it to cows is wrong; it makes the meat less healthy (more omega-6 fats, fewer omega-3), and it acidifies their stomachs which in turn creates an strain of e.coli that is trained to survive in more acidic environments, and thus makes us sick.
Being a farmer used to be about being a custodian of the land, not a shill for big agribusiness, planting round-up ready GMO crops.
Small diverse farms produce a huge and diverse array of food - more calories per acre that the midwest monoliths. See Elliot Coleman, and Joel Salatin, or read the chapter on Polyface Farms in the Omnivores Dilemna.
But you won't, because it's so ingrained that there are no other options or ways of doing things.
- initially, organic farms created less, as fertilizers and pesticide initially gave a conventional farms a boost. This disappeared over time, as conventional farming damages and degrades the soil, reducing yeilds.
- organic outperforms conventional in years of drought.
- organic farming systems build rather than deplete soil organic matter, making it a more sustainable system.
- organic farming uses 45% less energy and is more efficient.
- conventional systems produce 40% more greenhouse gases.
- organic farming systems are more profitable than conventional.

If all suddenly required me to pay (and the NY Times is going this route, I believe), and it wasn't too onerous, I would stick with the latter two, but if the cost per paper per month was greater than $10, I would just read the G&M.
I suspect there are just a few paywalls, then people will just move to the free sites. But if all the high quality journalism is behind a paywall, I suspect people will read less, and pay for it.

I guess insecure people need a position of authority to be able to go on a power trip.
Unfort, in Canada we've also had cops that have Tasered immigrants to death (and then lied about it in their official statement), shot unarmed prisoners in the back of the head, beaten up delivery drivers, and beaten people to death in the back of their squad cars.
Maybe I've been mislead, but when I drop a busted motherboard (or other e-device with capacitors) off at my local e-waste recycling depot, isn't it being shipped to China (etc) for this recycling to happen?
Or were the rare earths in the capacitors considered to be of no value given market conditions?

Anything above that sounds silly, as I can't imagine it tasting good. I brew beer at home, and never bother checking the alcohol level - I brew for taste, not ability to cause inebriation.
I was talking to a fellow beekeeper on Quadra Island, which is in a very rural part of the province, with a population of about 2000 people. This beekeeper lost 470 hives out of 500 this year.
There aren't many people, and cellphone service is poor... I doubt there are many phones there.
Fair enough - I suppose that you are still taking money away from those that participated in the manufacture.
Some might say, "Well, I never planned on watching it if I had to pay, so they wouldn't have gotten paid anyway"...
The fact is that you enjoyed (and I am using the term loosely) the content, regardless of the medium of delivery, and the manufacturer of the content requested compensation, and you did not provide it.
Regardless, it's a good reason to stay off Pirate Bay. Which might be the real motive of this "stunt".

I think something is either impossible, or possible. It's binary, and like a binary system, you can't have something between 0 and 1.
You could argue that maybe the possibility is unknown (tri-state logic), but then the value is null, to indicate unknown.
You might also have the opportunity to run over your boss in a future time.

But those mid-west farms won't be producing for very long, they are losing topsoil at 18 tonnes per hectare per year according to World Agriculture and Soil Erosion, by the University of California Press

Alcohol does cause cancer when you consume beyond moderation (1-2 drinks per day).

Obviously, the sex-professionals, be it high tech or human beings, are far more careful than an amateur.

It seems much snappier, and is significantly smaller.
