  1. Re:My Punch List on the Subject on Should Plant-Based Meat Replace Beef Completely? (pbs.org) · · Score: 1

    Cattle and other food animals can be easily raised on land that is not farmable. Too rocky too steep or soil where only grasses grow. The animal secretions help the ecosystem build more fertile topsoil.

    Perhaps you have a different definition of farmable. In the UK the good land is used for crops & cattle pasture. Sheep are raised on land that isn't much good for anything else - or as we call it, "Wales".

    We all know that news are subjective

    Parts of it were very clearly manipulated, which honestly made me wonder about it more than I had before it was released.

    I have an Eee, still works. Crucial thing is its footprint is a rat's knacker smaller than A4. This means shoulder bags designed to carry textbooks or school writing pads are just big enough. Go even a couple of inches bigger and you'll probably need a proper laptop case.

    Really? What if it went up 500,000 in one year, 600,000 in the next, 850,000 the year after that - and then this year it didn't go up at all, let alone by a million?

    So there's this feller, and he's been found guilty of taking and driving away a Lada. The judge asks if there's any other offences he wants taken into consideration. He admits to bigamy and pirating Star Wars DVDs.
