Wish my wages were taxed at those brackets

Nobody would have cared if they used real guns tho

Shower thought: what if the defence budget of every country would be donated to open source software instead of killing devices?

Funny beans

For which they will be able to offer subscriptions in a year or 2.

It's a pity it stopped somewhere 2022.

Teslax?

Cucumbers are the gateway veg.

Live to see the next millenium?

Locus maps seemed interesting to me. I was surprised it was not available on F-droid. I found it on the Aurora store though. Contains ads and 4 trackers (google and facebook). Google play services is a dependency.

I'll stick with osmand.

There's alwayd one ....

This is perfect

Upvoted for the use of "figuratively". Thank you.

Wait... That's not a couch!

you are entirely correct., and the first person to spot my simple math mistake.

thanks for correcting 😊

I did nothing of the kind. You're trying to provoke me by saying so.

I provided monsanto as an example next to other producers in the industry.

I never claimed or wanted imply to be an expert. I worked with brilliant minds who were. My account here is a recollection of what was explained to me by them. Not an opinion. I honestly don't even have an idea if it's biased since thiis was my only source of information.

Ok. Let's say we have 4 hour workdays, 4 day work weeks. Not just for white collar.

A business would require to hire 2 more people to cover a 24h continuous prosuction line (3 8h shifts to 5 4h shifts).

there would be more employment and higher productivity. More happiness I suspect.

I'd take it.

Your information is way off. Bayer bought the glysophate business from Monsanto. BASF bought the cropscience business from Bayer. The seeds are in production.

I mentioned genetic engineering on top of crossbreeding. Yes there are many ways to achieve a goal. But a business is going to opt for the one with the fastest results.

the plants are cross bred for generations. Each time the seeds of the plants with the best desired properties are kept.

the seeds can also be treated (see "feminizing marijuana seeds) with chemicals to produce certain traits.

the producers of these seeds (like monsanto, bayer, basf, ...) have large R&D groups where the dna of the seeds can be further tracked and modified if required.

these producers have large green houses just for breeding the plants and collecting the desired seeds.

these seeds are patented. The plants produce fruits to specifications. To protect the intellectual property, patents and business, they are made not to produce further offspring, so the farmer needs to buy the seeds year after year.

another trait that's being developped in the plants, for example, is making the plant immune to glyphosate, allowing the farmer to wastefully spray the herbicide on the field. It will kill all plants except for the desired crops.
