Gromnir Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 But I live in the Bay Area. well, you do have two seasons: every day is pretty much the same, but ever so slightly warmer and dryer. and every day is pretty much the same, but ever so slightly colder and wetter. "winter" is the best time for surfing, if you don't mind the sharks. HA!

Gromnir Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Jeez, China is just smoking us in the genetic engineering department. Its a shame were going to squee ourselves into irrelevance in a few decades or less. the shibboleth yet again? https://www.statista.com/statistics/271897/leading-countries-by-acreage-of-genetically-modified-crops/ just one example. the US is, far and away, the world leader in gmo research and exploitation. more than 60% o' the food gifted and others in the states consume is gmo. the eu, japan and china has historic been big critics o' gmo research and production, but the main reasons for such has been transparent economic protectionism. japan doesn't wanna need deal with us rice and china placed all kinda restrictions on us beef which consume gmo. 'course china has been doing much more research in recent years, but they is actual having difficulty implementing advances, which is reason for numbers in the graph linked. 'tween government ineptitude and public backlash, few gmo have actual been implemented in a nation with massive food supply needs. 'course the gmo problems is significant and often poor understood until decades have elapsed. gene flow were considered a rare and negligible phenomenon in the 80s, but is now understood to be common. am doubtful we need worry 'bout a planet o' the ape scenario anytime soon, but is sometimes amusing to realize the disconnect 'tween action and behavior. come into california with an exotic fruit or little susie's pet gerbil, and you got all kinda bells and whistles go off-- is dozens o' laws protecting states from the potential harm from invasive species. converse, we got gmo being tested and produced on large scales w/o actual understanding the long term hazards.

ShadySands Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) A town is being haunted by mysterious mashed potatoes — and no one knows who is putting them there A neighborhood in Jackson, Mississippi, has a bit of a mashed potato problem. As in, bowls of mashed potatoes are turning up in random places around the town. No one knows why or how or even if the potatoes are good. Weird, huh! No one has contacted authorities. This is just the new normal. It sounds harmless, silly even. But for residents of the Belhaven neighborhood in Jackson, Mississippi, it's becoming something of a serious concern: Bowls of mashed potatoes are showing up everywhere and no one knows where they are coming from, reported the Washington Post.
