This is not accepted fact anywhere but conspiracy land, there are articles saying that Israel have been far too soft on Hamas by letting aid through, limiting the effectiveness of bombing missions to limit civilian casualties, and ending prior conflicts before totally destroying them. These are all things which the international community loudly calls for, you can't be pro Palestine and say that Israel is responsible for Hamas because they have ceasefires and allow aid deliveries - you're using hardline arguments to call for a soft line, it doesn't make sense

Modern agriculture is hugely damaging to the ecosystem, provides a very low quality produce, is very inefficient, and there's plenty of better things for the land to be used for.

I get that a lot of people want to live in an idealised version of the past but the past is someone's future, things change and grow and evolve which is a great thing. People are going to grow daily produce locally because it's more efficient and better than daily transporting food long distances - getting traffic off the road should be a key part of our future plans, localising production is a great idea. Growing lettuce six hours drive away is silly when it loses most it's quality in six hours even when chilled, why run a truck every day when for less power than just the transport you could grow them locally, especially if you're getting better produce without any damage to the environment.

Year round, pest free, high quality fresh produce locally is going to be a standard thing in every city and grumbling about how life used to be different isn't going to change that.

I actually prefer them to landscape because like a growing amount of people I only watch YouTube on the right side of my screen and use the left for work, drawing, or if course internet browsing and chat windows.

Yeah I know what you mean, it only seems like yesterday that that upstart Daguerre began with his gosh darn foolish portrait orientation photographs, of course we didn't call them that then, we called 'em daguerreotypes...

A lot of the time it's not that people can't or are scared to, they just don't feel the need to because most the video they watch is in vertical format. It's not being filmed for cinema release, it's for phones and tablets.

That depends on yield per year and for certain crops it's incredibly high compared to arable, especially with clever engineering that uses waste heat productively.

We're certainly going to see an increase in city farms for various things over the coming decades, automation just makes it too easy and there are so many good options to explore

That's exactly what I came in here to post

Also sections of the country routinely get closed off because the ground is exploding with molten rock, it's much easier to reroute road traffic and maintain infrastructure especially in such complex topography.

Their zoo is actually really funny, it has like a donkey and a cow in it.

But that makes it more complex because you have to start worrying about the order they're done in because it might be different emotions playing your first or third game plus the effect might linger, take time to show, etc.

Far better to answer one simple question and prove there is an effect then follow up tests can look at finding the bounds to that and starting to narrow in on identifying mechanics.

Exactly, and thousands of other highly educated and skilled people - I can't think of anything worse than having to put up with Elon then getting told your life's work is rubbish just because he's associated with the company you work for.

SpaceX has been doing incredibly well at rockets, just because you only know about tests that ended in explosions doesn't mean that's how everything goes

You hate musk, I get it but that doesn't mean everything he associated with is automatically bad
