  • Yeah well obviously wasn’t planned for a global scale and you can thank European mindset 300 years ago for that so it is definitely scaled for arable land in higher latitudes.

    It wasn’t very technical cause I mean they just weren’t back then. Heck ask a baker what a pinch is.

    But for trying to come up with a scale to give people a way to talk about the temperature in Poland was the point and it’s just stuck for people that are using it same as those using other methods. It wasn’t and isn’t about you.



  • We can not replace ground cover of plants with nothing but solar panels. The moisture difference alone would cause huge ecological issues nothing to say on the reduced plant matter.

    Plus plants use sunlight to grow everything. That energy cost is way more massive than you think. It takes a fusion reactor in space to power it.
    Trying to get the same effect from solar powering Leads will be far less efficient and take an area larger than the traditional farm to generate the power for a vertical farm and be less effective. Plus you would also need to run vertical water pumps which are difficult with the weight of water, air flow, and still need fertilizer and nutrients which would mostly be chemical synthetics for making sure it’s in the right concentrations.

    Transportation costs are absolutely huge and more local transportation would be better but don’t mistake it for being much more efficient because of a single point that can be reduced.

    Farming is a huge endeavor that works mostly cause it is free energy and resources that as we need to provide more becomes already worse. Trying to control that entire chain is extremely difficult and costly and should only be done as necessary.

    It’s far easier to work on flat land that sprawls than vertical and the density would not even be in the favor of the vertical grow tower.

    I am looking at total costs. It’s just not nearly a catch all solution because it’s far more intensive than people generally at a glance expect. And I’m for adopting it in specific situations and add more vertical grow to farm operations but it does not fix food to grow everything indoors.



  • Maybe just read the article from the many links in this thread about how they were being used to push bodies instead of talking out your ass.

    A bit rude I realize but you would rather sound like you are from the middle and spout a fact that you know than just read and properly participate in the conversation. It’s not helpful and it’s infuriating at best.




  • Complaining about how they don’t want to eat meat because it reminds them of fucking running over live people with a fucking bulldozer!

    The dude killed himself because he was about to be sent back out and the IDF even was gonna refuse him a military funeral because he didn’t commit hard enough to genocide. While his family says he obviously wouldn’t have killed anyone cause he was a good boy.

    Fuck all this. Fuck this bullshit take on how hard it is for the soldiers and CNN should maybe focus on how obviously evil the IDF and Israel is acting.
