Does the traditional monoculture acres include the acres for fertilizer, the production of all of the equipment needed, fuel, seed, equipment and fuel for transport to final locati…

I'm really hopeful that Netflix implements password policing in the US, so that I have an excuse to stop paying for my in-laws to use it.

You could probably have this travel around to children's museums and make a space themed event out of it.

I know that it will never be aliens, but it's really really fun to imagine it being aliens.

I don't know much about the topic, but my understand was that bison graze more selectively, and have behaviors where they roll in grass, creating dirt ruts, which provides habitat …

I'm naive about this topic, but I think other factors to consider are the manufacturing and maintenance. A PHEV just can't be as efficient to manufacture as a BEV. This is particul…

Genius, but it has to be a bug that you haven't knowingly prevented before, otherwise it'd be suspicious.

My wife and I read the book on love languages just prior to getting married. I don't think it's a scientific fact or anything, more like a well thought out linguistic tool for disc…

It's true that people don't have any idea about themselves, but I'm very skeptical you would get any better data by asking a different sex. Just as much as people don't know themse…

You're forgetting that Facebook can see the future and everyone is wearing helmets and gloves and living in a digital world that looks like a mobile game from 2008.

A treatise on the most prevalent falsehoods, commonly held as truths by mechanical instructioners, on the topic of historical reenactment.

Not certain, but that Dunstan is likely a hybrid species of American with Chinese chestnut for blight resistance. The genetically pure American Chestnut tree was nearly eliminated …

Why stop at trees? I imagine you could do an alternate reality app for landscaping that shows you what your landscape "could look like". Including flower beds, ground cover alterna…

Saw that video recently as well. What's remarkable about this find is the size of the specimen, and that it's confirmed to be 100% American Chestnut. Hopefully with the hybrid appr…

Big fan of crime pays but botany doesn't. I'll need to give that podcast a listen, thanks!

The weaponization has already started, and will just get worse. I wonder if we will need a sort of antidote ai, which generates fake content according to our values. That is, it dr…

How will the pundits/influencers/grifters have anything to talk about? Think about the damage to the economy with such reasonable dialogue.

Mushroom origins or no, I completely agree.

I always imagined that early humans had fun rolling big rocks or logs down hills (who wouldn't?) and someone got clever.

Americans? Varnishing neuroticism? Couldn't be.

If the automation is there, is there a reason why more container ships at least partially utilize wind for locomotion? Is it just that retrofitting a giant sail isn't feasible onto…

Amazed at the impact black out curtains have made for me.

Also capital efficiency. If you have limited labor anyway, why bother with lower margin additions and remodels?

I don't really think of Graham Hancock as being a very good scientific source, but I think his ideas are a fantastic source of wonder about human history. It's simply fun to imagin…
