  • The only cow food I know that needs insect is clover and alfalfa. Grass, wheat and even soybeans do OK without.

  • Potatoes do both. Potato seeds are produced from fertilizing potato flowers, and can then grow into new plants.

    But they also spread asexually via tubers, which is way more convenient for farming.

  • Ok but,

    Cows don't require bees. The food that cows eat (wheat, grass, soy) either pollinates by wind or spreads by root. Soybean benefits, but doesn't rely on, insect pollination. Alfalfa is pollinated by bees, as are most forms of clover.

    Cocoa trees are pollinated by midges, not bees. And the rest of the shake comes from the above mentioned cows.

    Lettuce also self-pollinates, though again insects help. Commercially, they're not really used.

    Tomatoes are commercially pollinated by shaking them, because commercial tomatoes are optimized for making food and are pretty shit at being plants.

    Potatoes are basically the only major ingredient that is pollinated by bees. But that's basically never used by anyone growing potatoes, since potatoes also spread asexually by tubers.

    Stuff in this pic that IS pollinated by bees: the sugar beets that are potentially in everything (edit: nope, that's wrong) but not the corn you can also use for sugar. Cucumber for the pickles. Some oil plants to fry in. Coconut or almond if you don't want cow milk. Sesame seeds on the bun.

  • Wheat isn't pollinated by insects. It's self-pollinating by wind.

    On the other hand, I'm reasonably sure cows also don't require bees to reproduce.

  • Swans are terrifyingly big too. They're obviously scary like a tank. Geese seem small and harmless, like an IED.

  • You know, learning chemistry is nice and all, and there's lots of maths and knowledge, but the real special knowledge in doing chemistry is one simple phrase:

    "When pouring, you've got to commit"

  • They're not just obsolete in a few years, they're literally worn out. Running a GPU at max power nonstop will make it break after just a few years, as many crypto miners learn pretty quickly..

  • And this is a very clear example.

    Someone disagrees with anything you do or like and you automatically assume they must not know anything and require education on some super basic subjects. So you decide the correct way to convey your viewpoint is with a half page copypasta, stripping out the useful intro and just offering instructions.

    You treat everyone like they're simultaneously some kind of uneducated child and the personification of evil. Perhaps somewhat understandably, people don't really take well to that.

    And now that I see your replies, you also seem to be hyperfocussing on one specific offense to you, pasting to the same reply to numerous, completely different, people and posts. I totally see why you're getting banned so much, no community wants spammy replies like that.

  • I only know the middle two, but that's enough

  • Companies are buying GPUs and using them as collateral to buy more GPUs. All the while ignoring these are consumable products, not infrastructure, and all the while not showing a single dollar of profit. Because generative AI is a scam that has basically no profitable way of existing, and can't get people to pay for it no matter what they try

  • OP thinks any reaction to them flipping their shit instantly and constantly is aimed at their gender, instead of them flipping their shit instantly and constantly.

  • Always wipe front to back

  • I'm sorry, does that man have a tattoo of a derpy wolf with an overbite?

  • Stupid magic, always womanifying my objects!

  • They have conscription, but Russia can't send conscripts abroad unless they're at war, and this is a special military operation, not a war. The real question is "Why don't they go to war, and send the conscripts?" And the answer why people don't understand why Russia doesn't is because they think Russia is a single country. That's a very normal thought to have when you live in the west, because say, France or Poland, are a single country.

    But Russia is basically two countries. You've got Moscow, which has 20 million people and is slightly bigger than the Netherlands, and Saint Petersburg which has 6 million people but is also somewhat smaller. Those two cities are where the government sits, it's where all the decisions are made, where all the companies are, where all the capital sits and all the investements get made. Moscow has technology, internet, plumbing, subways, etc etc.

    And then there's the entire rest of Russia, which you can sorta-kinda view as a massive colonial empire of Moscow. They get to decide nothing, they exist to provide labour for all of Moscow's capital and to have resources that can be exploited. It's where all the GDP comes from, yet they have no money because all that mineral wealth immediately goes back to Moscow.

    Declaring war and sending in the conscripts would mean people from Moscow (read: People who actually matter) would get send to war, as opposed to the "colonial troops". Literally nobody in Russia cares about what happens to the 4 million people living in de Federal Republic of Bashkortostan (it's a real place, I promise), but everyone cares what happens to the people in 140.000 people in Kolpino, because it's part of St. Petersburg.

  • It has also demanded that the bloc change environmental legislation on supply chains to exclude US companies and others from “countries with high-quality corporate due diligence”.

    Pretending the US has high quality corporate due diligence is hilarious.

  • Much more impressive too!

  • Also, you can totally have a lawn. It's a great place to Do Things in your garden, and it's better than bricks or concrete. I can't host a bbq in between the shrubs after all.

    Just, turn the bits where you don't Do Things into some other plant than lawn grass. At the very least you don't really need those corners, and come on, a natural zone is way easier to maintain than a lawn too!

  • Or 11 cousins, in a 2 person studio?
