Yeah. Those were just two examples that came to mind. Tangelos or any "seedless" produce are some other ones.
I see GMOs as just another form of agricultural development to decrease issues/problems with production. (like splicing in a gene that makes them less appetizing to pests so you would use less pesticides or one that makes them more drought tolerant)
One of the largest drawbacks to GMOs though (aside from the capitalistic approach of introducing sterility) is due to allergies. This could however be easily mitigated by listing where each gene comes from so people who may be allergic to the gene of the donor would know if it should be avoided.
My PCP is a DO. It works for me as my body is still relatively young. (late 30's) I also don't have many issues that would require more intensive/specialized treatment that I don't already have a specialist for.
They are just allergic reactions waiting to happen.
Tea tree oil was the only one I think to actually have merit, but I imagine we've been able to reproduce the beneficial part of in a lab. (with minimal risk of triggering allergies)
Fully analog tube amps do definitely produce a warmer/richer sound with less complicated things to go wrong. Artists like them because they are reliable, generally user serviceable, (usually just need to replace bad/old tubes) and makes each recording sound relatively unique.
The thing is, is that it really only works during production. Unless being cut direct to a master record, the sound will get saved in a digital format to produce the user-facing media, which can include digital-source vinyls.
Those products marketed to audiophiles try to take the digitally recorded/archived products to "try" making it sound like the original.
The news articles just keep saying it was a slur used in Italian, but never mention what it was. (almost like trying to report it, but also burying it at the same time to save grace)
After a bit of searching, the word is the loose Italian translation of the "F" slur used in English. I honestly can say I've never heard that word (at least in English) used by anyone but true bigots (and immature idiot kids online), even older people.
I did however have an English teacher in high school (who was openly gay) stop the class once, when someone ask about the subject of slurs. (namely racial ones) His relatively succinct response was that any slur is owned by the people in subject, and only they can choose use it to weaken its hate or let it die from disuse. (I sort of miss him, as he liked to speak to us with a frankness like adults rather than hide things like people do to kids, 12 and under)
I say that if he can't stop using it, even "accidentally", he may not really be as accepting as people think, and it is all just a bit of an act to try to keep that religon alive with gen y+.
