Is this a surprise? Unlike oil, gas is extremely hard to transport. China's playing hard to get with PoS 2 because the renewable transition is hitting much faster than anticipated (China is hitting their fossil fuels consumption and emissions targets years in advance)... And China doesn't see natural gas outside of PoS 1 and domestic production as a significant part of the energy mix in the future. They skipped the whole coal -> natural gas step.

Meanwhile, crossing the multiple borders to get to India would be a rather complex undertaking, and Nordstream got blown up so European revenues will be suppressed indefinitely even if the war ends (convenient, that).

Given no export target, most natural gas will have to be flared off in the process of oil production... Bad for the environment, but unavoidable given the lack of Nordstream.

Russian oil revenues are high, though, and the domestic surplus of energy has given Russian industry a kick in the butt, so the real losers in this are Germany and Europe, which have seen their industrial bases decimated.

Marcos Questions ‘Secret’ Duterte Deal with China on Sea Dispute

The previous administration made and respected a gentleman's agreement in the area. This isn't a question of sovereignty, but of whether the Philippines is under an obligation to respect deals made by previous administrations.

Chinese cars are so fucking good for 10k though. It's like just strictly a superior product on the low end of the market.

They were banned for telling someone that posted MBFC to shove [MBFC] up their ass. Decorum, please.

The articles suggest that it may be beneficial for Type 1, but that's unconfirmed. The nature of early-stage clinical trials is that people don't really know how things will work. That's the point of the trials.

Citing MBFC without a supporting claim that discredits the article is lazy and does not benefit the discussion. Comment removed.

Lemmy is a news aggregator. Why wouldn't you find out about an early-stage clinical trial on Lemmy?

Any such treatment, even if it works, would take decades to pass through the various approval stages before being released to the public.

Rice is easy to store and transport because it doesn't really spoil. Is basically a supercrop in that regard.

It's not exactly the end of the world to implement terminator seeds... The reason it hasn't been implemented is because it's not an issue. This is a non-issue that's getting blown out of proportion.

Farmers will opt to maximize profits given all else equal. The license is a cost of goods sold and gets factored in when farmers decide what to plant. Farmers aren't forced to plant golden rice.

but but but my MBFC rating!!111!

NYT credible ahahahahahahaha

Oh you're serious. The NYT is rather good for domestic affairs, but it's foreign bureaus have been underfunded for ages.

MBFC is a joke that evaluates factuality based on how well it aligns with the state department. We already know this.

DolphinMath is a propagandist that uses MBFC to whitewash propaganda. We also already know this.

Yeah, try again.

Those CGI artists need to be fired.

There's no excuse for such shitty CGI when gen AI tools exist.

I mean... No shit? ATACMS has a range of 300km, and it's not like Russia's pushed the front line 300km.

Look at a map of the European power grid: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Map-of-European-high-voltage-transmission-grid-Source-Adapted-from-GENI-2011_fig1_281127145

Now repeat your claim again, but this time be serious.

No mappers seem to confirm this... There are reports of Ukrainian counteroffensives in the area, but nothing that goes so far as to indicate that Ukraine has taken back control of all of Russia's territorial gains there. If anything, it's starting to look like another stalemate along a new frontline.

Is Zelensky talking out of his ass? Are mappers receiving delayed data? Who knows...

It's been almost a decade of civilian targets in Donetsk Oblast getting struck. Sure, blame it on civil war, but point still holds.

The argument against Golden Rice should have nothing to do with GMO and everything to do with monocultures.

Greenpeace is fucked in the head.

As long as US officials restrict strikes to avoid Russian nuclear deterrence installations, I don't really see why this wasn't already permitted.

The key US policy consideration in the conflict should be to avoid nuclear escalation. Don't strike nuclear early warning radars, don't strike nuclear silos, and everything else should be fine.
