  • 31 billion in September, 55% of which came from consumers.

    So the average American paid an extra 51 dollars in tax in SEPTEMBER alone.

  • These things apparently only cost 30k !

  • Look, they're the main characters of the story, they're supposed to look badass sometimes..

  • I think it's Naught-Sea or something.

  • Not enough throughput? well, that's what upgraded belts are for. Still not enough? that's what extra belts are for. Still not enough? see previous comment.

  • You're confusing "Airfield" and "Runway". One is a strip of asphalt/concrete, the other is a giant collection of expensive stuff like planes, fueling facilities, ammo stores, workshops, etc etc.

  • Huh I remembered wrong. Thanks for the correction

  • Ok, I chuckled at that.

  • We have a gigantic industry based around making more bees that are genetically identical to wild bees. This seems like a really really easy problem to solve?

  • Yes, but muuuuuch shorter.

  • I guess they should have added some magic marker notes as well for the slowest kids.

    Hey, fuck you too.

    Wow, did that make my post any better like it did for you?

  • Movie only has like 4 pirate ships though

  • Oh it's not raw. It spends between a day and a week in a barrel full of salt with some of its intestines. That way, the pancreatic enzymes can make the fish even tastier!

  • 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"
