Understood. I now know what to do. Many thanks sir.

In the same way as Pablo Escobar was "brilliant" I suppose. By being financially successful while destroying countless lives.

At first glance I imagined this was a magic way to heal a wound by rubbing a jellyfish on it. Skin irritation be damned, this is gonna save lives.

But no. No such joy.

Thank you sir. I actually got my CS from distance learning and somehow the combination of growing things and monitoring everything using CS just grabs me. I would work on any farm anywhere with appropriate agency.

Absolutely this.

True and also, the actual physical contact and results are absolute magic. Maybe we need to create a "computer scientists for botony" forum. I think that has legs.

Botany is great because the results are basically what I'd call magic. It's such beauty (and horror on occasion).

The marriage of CS and botany seems like a match made in heaven and just from writing these comments I've convinced myself that it's probably the most practical way to go forward in life.

I grow marijuana and chillies from time to time. I got good at it. I will say that plants are malleable in untold ways and so I find this article to be unsurprising.

Plants will do what they need to do in the end. I've done stuff like co2 bombing, and increasing nutrients to the point to where I get a whole new ecosystem of insects and an entirely new situation.

It is such fascinating stuff that it's actually the life I want to live. I'm a computer scientist but now I yearn for the botanical sciences.

I highly recommend checking out defoliation strategies and low-stress training methods for anyone interested. Plants are not dumb creatures. The results you can get from them are astonishing and the science of what plants actually are becomes more profound by the day.

I mean, holding your breath to steady your hands to get a good shot, what other interesting chemistry could be going on? I think there's a lot of fun to be had here.

This somehow always reminds me of video games. Press <whatever> to hold your breath and your accuracy increases, your aim is more steady.

Anecdotally I think there is some truth to this; hypoxia might lead to greater accuracy and better decisions.

I've had this thought for years and I don't know what I'm talking about just so you know.

"Hold your breath" does have some legs and seems to be quite a common theme especially when dealing with situations which require immense concentration.

I have two strats. Both signature editions. Ed O'Brien and Mark Speer edition. I also have a fender accoustic which is perhaps my most favouritist guitar ever. I fucking love fender and will forever.

The 2026 budget for Hasbara is $730 million. That's a lot of push.

"Israel has of course no intention to interfere in the French political process, be it at the national or municipal level," it said in a statement."

Yeah right. Surely not. Why would they even?

You're probably talking about cooking/recipe blogs? I need those 12 paragraphs and all the ads to get to the recipe. It's dopamine.

Assuming it's an "all-weather" jacket I think it would be cool for it to spout out umbrellas when it starts raining, batman style, to catch rain water as well and drop it into pouches. Mp3 player would be great as well.

I'll take two of them. A thousand a piece.

I mean 730 million isn't a lot, right? It's all good all safe. 730 million dollars. Which could solve hunger in parts of Africa. But let's just use it to protect our image.

I appreciate the comment and I'm well aware and fully clued up on the history of Hasbara and the rest. I actually thought the word "Hasbara" was closer to "explanation". Close enough lexically I guess.

I just find this really depressing and I hope that there will be an end in sight. The happenings of right now is the stuff of horror novels.

But still, it is fucking disturbing shit which somehow has a place in the world.

Because now the manifestation of all this crap has reached a nuclear stage of undeniability.

It has literally been simmering for a long time and now it finally comes out. Taking it out on Israel is not wrong and that's not to say that they (the Israeli government) hold the sole responsibility for this. The US had a say in this as well. But now the US is questioning the benefits of this complete and total asshattery and rightly so. Better late than never I suppose.

These threads are always fun.

The mental gymnastics of the Israeli "splainers" will never fail to amaze me. Israelsplainers perhaps.

I want to say that it's just Netanyahu who needs to go away but it's actually much, much more than just him. The tide is shifting methinks and rightly so (and finally).
