The thing is, you can now find good all year grown tomatoes in shops, just not in Croatian shops unfortunately. (speaking as a Croatian living in Denmark)
In Denmark, even Lidl now has premium tomatoes that have good taste and smell. They are "pricy", so they are on average x3 the default tasteless, unripe ones.
Considering they are properly ripe, part of the price is certainly just to cover much greater waste due to them going bad or getting bruised.
Can anyone knowledgeable comment on if farming insects, like grasshoppers that are apparently very efficient in turning feed to protein, will become a viable alternative for salmon and tuna farms?
There is a boom in this field in recent years, specifically for laser texturing using femtosecond lasers. What were 10 years back laboratory lasers are now being put on standard CNC machine gantrys.
Unfortunately, what I see lacking in high end laser CNC machine market is software and no separation between CAM programming and execution that exists for milling machines. There is no equivalent to G-code that can be generated on w/e software and then run on different machine. There are cases where this is impossible as due to the way it's done, it would quickly overload even large RAM memory capacities.
I grew up with a father who is/was an owner and director of a company that produces manufacturing printing rollers (gravure printing), mostly for packaging industry. He always competed against others on quality and flexibility as he couldn't on size, so having the best kit was important. The technology, even though the product is a discardable piece of packaging, is on NASA/CPU manufacturing level.
Even though, I myself was never involved directly in it, nor am I today, I know from him there were several trends:
1) Printing companies in Europe and elsewhere got bigger. What use to be 10 printing companies, now it's 1.
2) Equipment manufacturers for that industry got bigger. What use to be 4,5 equipment manufacturers in EU/USA, now there is one.
3) Lasers. Lasers got to a level where they can compete and surpass mechanical removal on quality and speed. This is true also for industry I'm in.
I feel as though you're taking a rather naive view of the situation. Currently Croatia isn't claiming the land as their own because it's part of a larger dispute, and if they do lay claim to it, they lose a larger chunk of more important land to Serbia.
You are right, I was being purposely naive in order to show the narrowness of thinking.
The "gray area" of the law could have worked in this case for both side. Croatia government didn't have to do anything besides close one eye, which they do ALL THE TIME, for people "who know the right people".
Feel free to google search the term "ilegalna gradnja" with Croatian location, to get a feeling of scale of it and how little a settlement like the one that was demolished really matters. There are too many of illegal settlements, usually in form of houses and luxury villas, that haven't been demolished for years, even even local governments pleaded to have them destroyed.
To be crystal clear, I didn't suggest giving land to anyone, just make an exception that is made constantly for the "right people".
Idiotic decision by Croatia, here I'm talking both as a Croatian, as well as someone supporting this kind of "liberal" experiments. Instead of seeing this as a fun experiment that wouldn't cost Croatian tax payer anything, the most politically controlled nepotistic organization full of "uhljeb's", Hrvatske sume, decided to act this way (under direction).
If Croatian government was smart, they could have tried reaching some deal proclaiming "Liberland" as a free zone, under protection of Croatians army until UN recognition is made (probably never). The potential touristic revenue to local areas could have been used to justify it to Croatian people.
Sad...
I'm looking into 2-3 wireless cameras and some movement trigger sensor for home security. Besides security, we are getting a dog and I want to see what she is doing when we are away.
If anyone has good ideas, links to equipment they used, or just want to share their experience with HASS in regards to home security, it will be appreciated. Link to some good project is also great :)
(I only played with is and connected few sensors I made with ESP32s)
Interesting thought, will the ability to doubt himself forever be that of a human or at some point we will see an emergence of an AI with an imposter syndrome.

Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must

I'm not a Tool fanboy, I really ain't, but I use this as kind of "a mantra" when I catch myself overthinking it.
