I can define it, it's a bullshit term designed to mislead.
There are two kinds of farming when examined from this perspective, no/zero-till (which ironically can include tilling the soil once, to start) or with tilling. Anything else falls into the second category. The point of not tilling is that any tilling compacts the soil/ destroys soil crumb structure and leads to anaerobic conditions which are harmful in multiple ways (to say nothing of the way compacted soil retards root penetration.)
Handling cash is not a security nightmare, but storing it is. Because they have to be able to get money back out again they can't use a locked drop safe at all times so they are vulnerable. The feds love crime so they foster it at every turn.
When was the last time a consumer got sick from glyphosate in their food? Because people get sick from organic fertilizer all the time. The famous example is Chipotle.
Field workers are shitting in between the rows because they don't have time to take bathroom breaks. And large-scale processing facilities cross-contaminate produce. Smaller facilities mean containment of outbreaks like these. You can't trace any of the mass illnesses from Chipotle grill to fertilizer, but you can trace them all to the overall system involved.
And the batteries necessary to store the power generated from wind and solar are going to come from where? If we made them with existing technology they could be seen from orbit.
What kind of metric is that? A meaningless one, that's what.
There is no known way of making that many batteries to cover all that wind and solar.
The more you build, the less battery you need, because you have more insolated solar panels, and more wind turbines currently being spun.
So we back your solar and wind with natural gas which is 33x more potent a GHG than CO2
Way to torpedo your own argument there, sport. If we burn the natgas it turns into CO2, and then it's less potent, as you say.
Also, all of our calculations around natural gas pretty much assume no leaking of methane which you can bet isn't true.
There's definitely leakage. That's definitely a problem which should be fixed. Also, let's face it, natgas isn't that great in general. Current production levels are dependent on fracking. Now, if it were ass-gas, and we got it from animal crap, that might be different. But I doubt we could get that much from all the crap, from all the CAFOs and dairies.
THere are a number of new intrisically safe (relatively speaking) self contained nuclear vessels.
Where? Companies keep claiming to have something, and then nobody ever buys any and they never build any.
Same with the Thorium reactors.
Yes, same with those. We never see one.
What I don't get is that renewables+battery are already cheaper than nuclear, and getting cheaper still, yet people keep believing in nuclear. It's already obsolete technology. It delivered on none of its promises in the consumer space, and there's no practical reason to use it for anything but a carrier. I would have also said icebreaker, but we won't be needing those much longer.
Nuclear reactors provide one of the cheapest sources of energy besides natural hydro plants.
What's a "natural hydro plant"? Beavers wind the generators?
The problem with nuclear is not the technology, a reactor can theoretically run for a decade without needing refueling, the US Navy is building them to last the lifetime of a ship (75 years) without any refueling.
Yes, and constant oversight by a highly-trained crew.
A modern reactor can take up the size of a small shed in your backyard (if you have a cooling pool nearby).
Funny how I don't seem have any of these installed, or in my library. Maybe minimal app selection hygiene is important if one cares about privacy?
I had HP ePrint installed previously, so I could print to my HP printer. Speedtest is a highly common app. Candy Crush is a respected game series. Duolingo is also highly respected. Most of the rest is just fly by night crap, but all of those are pretty major.
This reminds me of Trump's current strict enforcement of immigration laws. By strict enforcement of the current laws, I'm still hoping Trump can convince both sides to come together and create a better system with better laws.
Trump isn't aggressively enforcing anything. He's selectively enforcing. His wife's parents "chain migrated" to this country, to use his administration's terminology.
If I have a service done, am willing to pay for it, and the seller is unwilling to take my payment, then that's "nothing better to do". That's enforcing the law. The police should be involved.
The police should not be involved, unless you fail to show up in court, because that's a civil matter. The only reason to involve the police is if you need to establish someone's identity who won't pay. No one should be permitted to refuse cash to settle a debt. The only choices should be demand payment up front, or accept cash.
Natural fertilizer tends to be more poisonous than glyphosate. The glyphosate breaks up in the natural environment, but the natural fertilizer too often remains around.
This is 100% shit. No, literally. Genuinely natural fertilizer is shit, or composted plants, or the like. It breaks down into soil. Glyphosphate only breaks down in aerobic conditions, but big ag doesn't have those. They use mechanical tilth, which creates hardpan, which traps water. That's why there's glyphosphate in our water systems. As it is actually used, it does not in fact break down.
The desire to find someone to blame and punish them severely is human nature, but the reality is that we need to be able to trust in order to operate at all.
The reality is that humans are not trustworthy enough for us to use nuclear power, which is unnecessary anyway.
We're supposed to be able to charge damages to the credit card you used to pay for the room, but they knew what they were doing and usually paid in cash and gave fake names and address/phone numbers.
These days, only the most garbage hotels will even let you stay without CC verification...
I can see where she went and what she did based on the credit card receipts.
If your daughter is old enough to go places with a credit card but not smart enough to know to make transactions in cash when she doesn't want you to know about them, I'm sorry.
I'd be ok with that, provided it was in a psychiatric ward to deal with their obviously disturbed minds and to rehabilitate them to the point where they were fit to live in society.
This is clearly creepy AF, but it is kind of genius. You can get used to your loved one's face belonging to a robot instead of them.
I'd be ok with that, provided it was in a psychiatric ward to deal with their obviously disturbed minds and to rehabilitate them to the point where they were fit to live in society.
That's how we should treat everyone, though. As long as we're treating anyone the other way, these guys "deserve" it more than most of the people we've got in prison now.
Here is CA, the long lines at the DMV are due to Federal "Real-ID" requirements, which do require that you actually interact, face-to-face with a real clerk. You can do most other transactions online.
There's a ton of trivial things you can do on other states' DMV [or equivalent agency] websites that you can't do on California's simply because they've chosen to make it that way, like getting a one-trip permit. You have to go in for that. Compound that with the fact that their computer system is crap and the whole thing should be taken out and shot, and reinvented from scratch.
Sad but true, I used to be able to read NR to understand the logical motivations for gop positions, lately it is like watching a contortionist attempt to match a Dali painting, completely separated from reality
Sounds like nothing has changed to me. GOP justifications have never been reality-based.
I don't want precisely this, because I don't trust Samsung. But I would like this kind of functionality in or near my television, for the purpose of accessing remote resources. In practice, I'm just going to use a long HDMI cable since I already have it and it will work, but it would be more convenient for me if I could do it through the network, since I have to pull network cable to that location anyway.

The majority of employee theft is of goods, not cash
Intestine-based casings are way LESS disgusting to me because you can actually chew them...

It's not just the hemp seed that's nutritious, practically the whole plant is near perfect food for humans.
I'd like to see you try to eat the largest portion of the hemp plant, the stalk. That could be hilarious enough to trend.

You think the wall is good to be sewage proof?
ITYM "You think the steel slats are going to be sewage proof?" Not only won't they hold back sewage, but the sewage will corrode them...
Just boot a 2010 Mac, and look at OSX 10.6 , oh wow, so pretty, so nice, so cute, fucking sweet ass bitch.
AFAIC UI peaked when I was running GNOME2 with Compiz and emerald. Ubuntu... Dapper or so? The best features of all the systems in one place.
Water is bad for humans, too... You're ignoring the dosage
Water isn't bioaccumulative. Is that really the best you can do?

Amazing thing about currents, they have this great ability to dissipate pollutants down to pointless levels.
No, they don't. They tend to carry things along together.
