Those are skulltulas.

You would turn down free bread sticks and $7M? At least eat some bread sticks.

Just need to know if they’re heavier than a duck.

That’s not a peer reviewed study.

Fuck that, citation needed.

It’s an anxiety coping technique.

I’m not imagining any problems. The difficulties I’ve outlined are genuine issues that have to be addressed. I think you’d be surprised to learn how much difference there is between a thing existing and it actually operating efficiently.

“Based on an analysis we did for a large private-equity firm, we don’t actually see a scenario where in the next 10 years vertical farming will compete with field-grown at scale in North America,”

Vertical farming usually uses LED lighting, not direct sunlight.

That’s one method of bringing"sunlight" to plants. Another would be to grow them outside.

And I think the idea is that once the water is present on a given level it gets recirculated and reprocessed there, so it wouldn’t need much additional pumping.

Even if all you do is pump all the water from the floor of each level to the ceiling of the respective level, you’ve done the exact same amount of work as pumping all the water for the top floor back to the roof in the first place. Only you’ve done it with a hundred pumps and a hundred times the points of failure and repair rate as a single pump for the entire building.

You’d be so much farther ahead to just install a reservoir on the roof that gets filled by a single pump and let gravity feed the lower floors. Much the way we already do for flat farming.

And then you’ve got to make up for the inefficiencies lost in planting and harvesting. Vertical farming brings nothing to the table except a smaller footprint in a world where that’s not a real advantage.

A far better use of empty office buildings would be to convert much of the space into full-time living space.

When you have an enlarged amygdala, everything is scary. Ask any conservative what they fear most and they will never finish.

The problem is a constant fight against gravity. You’ve still got to pump the water effectively to the top of the building every day. And there’s still the issue of getting sunlight to the plants.

The question really becomes whether it’s more economical to just use traditional irrigation techniques upstream and ship the produce in vs converting a skyscraper into a very inefficient farm space.

What about Sammy Davis Jr?

It would certainly appear so.

I haven’t actually seen it, but I hear this was pretty awful.

Garçon means boy.

Maybe it’s because I am a native english speaker but your reply is offensive and embarrassing to native English speakers around the world. You can do better, America. You just have to try.

I’m sure their moms didn’t miss it. 😜

Sure, “For an upgrade”. Whatever you gotta tell yourself bro. We don’t care when you go down, just upon whom.

Maybe it’s because I am a native english speaker but I read this as a pledge to murder all homeless people by cutting them in half 🤔

It’s fine. I wouldn’t just ignore it though. Maybe question why they think these things. ‘What makes you sure he’s not hungry? Did you ask him?’, ‘Are you sure she didn’t want to sing? I think she has a pretty voice.’

Your toddler is coughing e their desires more than denying facts. If anything, it’s an expression of imagination and should be encouraged with guidance away from just telling outright lies.
