“The goal in war is not to kill all enemy soldiers, but to *convince enemy leadership to surrender.*” is true enough in the sense that McNamara was a moron, but in the context of discussing non‐violence, it’s vacuous nonsense. Enemy leadership must be convinced that surrender is their best option, and that usually involves killing their soldiers till they don’t have any other options.

Nastyman posted:Actually, it's worse I read the headline and thought “wow that makes it sound like they actively worked to place children with people who would abuse them, but surely it’s going to be a case where some children were placed with pedophiles because of a grievous paperwork error and they’re finding out now, thirty years later. That is also within the literal meaning of the headline.” Then I clicked through to the article and oh god oh no it’s the first one.

I’ve thought about getting my DNA sequenced, but the privacy implications just aren’t worth it. I would do it under the conditions that the process takes place in a sealed room, the results are compared to offline medical/ancestral databases, and the equipment is destroyed before we leave the room. I know this is silly paranoid and I shed DNA everywhere anyway, but that’s my TED talk. Thank you for listening.

South American dictators’ actions are never funny and it’s questionable why they were brought into this thread in the first place. Literally everything the forty‐fifth president of the United States does is weird news, but I’m glad this isn’t a mirror of the TWIMP thread. e: I shouldn’t have brought it up. I just hate these disarming stories about very bad people engaged in humorous and sometime endearing antics. Platystemon has a new favorite as of 05:09 on Jul 2, 2020 |

I posted a bit about the Bioscleave house and other projects by the same designer in the interior design thread. I’m just going to link that because the quotes and photos are kind of long. This bathroom is the least ridiculous room in the house.

Gros Michel isn’t like, gone, gone. They’re decently available in local markets in the tropics, especially in Southeast Asia. I myself have some healthy plants, and they’re isolated from others of their kind, so they can remain that way for a long time. Right now the bean counters at the big fruit multinationals think that fungal control is more profitable than transitioning to resistant cultivars, reworking their processes to accommodate them, and getting the public in the developed world to accept them. On some plantations, a quarter of all expenses go toward controlling a different fungus, black sigatoka. David McLaughlin, Chiquita’s senior director for environmental affairs said in 2003, “We supported a breeding program for forty years, but it wasn’t able to develop an alternative to Cavendish. It was very expensive and we got nothing back.” concluding “We concentrate on research into fungicides now.” To be clear, there are over two thousand named varieties of edible bananas, it’s just that none of them are “exactly like Cavendish, but resistant to Panama Disease”. There’s also not a great deal of genetic diversity within groups, so while there are thousand of cultivars, many of them are susceptible to the same common diseases. In the extreme case, there are close to a hundred cultivars of East African Highland Bananas, all descended from a single clonal ancestor brought to the region about two millennia ago. The fruit companies have left the banana breeding to national governments, mostly in the global south, which can ill afford it but who have to try because bananas aren’t an exotic treat to them. They’re the staff of life. Plants don’t fight infection the same way animals do, so there are no vaccines, but sometimes there are promising breakthroughs against certain pathogens. Containing pathogens is great. I highly recommend it. There’s no putting the genie back in the bottle. Sometimes things can adapt. Growing grapes is possible in Europe because, and only because, they’re grafted onto the roots of North American grapes, which are resistant to the North American grape phylloxera. Sometimes they can’t. America’s forests will never be as they were before chestnut blight, Dutch elm disease, and the emerald ash borer. The trees are gone, others have taken their place, and the world is poorer for it.

Wild avocado: Teosinte, the ancestor of maize (or, in American metonymy, “corn”, shortened from “Indian corn”):  These are intentional selections. A more interesting mechanism is Vavilovian mimicry. Rye and oats were once weeds in fields of wheat. Wherever farmers found them, they removed them, plants and seeds. Rye/oats that looked and acted more like wheat were more likely to escape notice and removal. In becoming difficult to distinguish from wheat, they evolved traits like big kernels that made them good crops in their own right.
