My guess is that Cancun Cruz is totally human and doesn’t use mindcontrol.

I’m conflicted by this comment thanks to Poe’s Law.

Oh, no, I agree. I don’t consider ignoring rules “human error” when it is intentional. Management ordering a faulty safety to be disabled then getting someone hurt because the safety was disabled is so much worse than an error. Much worse, when I saw this happen, management then blamed the guy who disabled the safety.

I’d be impressed if that statue remains un-vandalized for long without significant security.

Either that, or the processes weren’t followed. At least, that’s been my experience with regulatory stuff.

Ah, yes. States’ rights obviously don’t matter anymore.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

I have some in my closet. They’re still good, I checked them yesterday!

In part because traditional farms scale better than aeroponics or hydroponics. In part because farms don’t pay for the environmental damage they cause. Because of these two points, there is little incentive to industrialize aeroponics or hydroponics.

What is true right now is that traditional farms use more water, fertilizer, and space, cause more environmental damage, but require less labor. And the labor problem can be mitigated with robotics, if we’re willing to invest in that.

I wish they weren’t in the US either.

With an adverse event rate of 0.06%. Meaning only 33 per million people required hospitalization.

The device you’re thinking of might be a peltier or thermoelectric cooler (TEC). But yes. They’re way less efficient than a vapor compression refrigerator, though.

Oh man, been doing that for 10 years!
