Combined with DNA data storage, we are definitely heading towards the Singularity. The concept of the universe as a simulation is even more plausible, month by month…

Reply to comment by dgtlfnk in A review concluded that "with its sustainability as a plant as well as its distinctive useful property of the seed protein, hemp has promising value in the development of new foods." by OregonTripleBeam
So true. It’s criminal the damage done in not adopting this miracle plant for so many of our uses. It was a gift, squandered at great and existential expense.

Oils, food, medicine, benign stimulant, clothing material, papers, etc. etc. and did governments ever sleep on this magic/miracle plant, as they allowed decades of clear cutting entire old growth regions, subsidized fossil fools and so much more. What a crime it was merely to enable robber barons and the status quo to maintain monopolies at great expense to our future…about time they adopted hemp for many replacement resources.

If the guy came at him, he would’ve had to shoot him. Some people don’t want to cross that line, plus, he didn’t know the guy had killed others either. He could’ve asked him to lay on the floor and put his hands behind his head, but who knows how that would’ve played out? I’m some ways: he did the best thing for the situation at the time w/ what he knew.

Reply to Revealed: more than 90% of rainforest carbon offsets by biggest provider are worthless, analysis shows by Portalrules123
“The implications of this analysis are huge. Companies are using credits to make claims of reducing emissions when most of these credits don’t represent emissions reductions at all.”
Once again, corporations are gaming ‘the system’. Applying “false and misleading results” to a PR campaign that paints them as heroes of the zero-emission environment, when they are no such thing. Then there are the truly environmentally concerned being victimized and played by their good intentions with marginal or negative effect, when they are led to believe the opposite. So even a step in the right sustainable/conservation direction has bad actors and suspect findings to profit, whether it’s ethically, financially or both. Depressing. One step forward, 13 back…
