It appears that most plants will agree on some things.

This is a note from a friend.

Go DRay

These are interesting microbes. I foresee many potential uses.

"For many species, the endophytes seemed to give seedlings a competitive advantage. Rice plants with added endophytes had larger roots and leaves than those without endophytes. Even more surprisingly, some species of tomato and bell pepper nearly doubled the amount of fruit they produced."

40C doesn't sound too bad, but we're not ready for it.

Can't find the article again but it was going into the climate change involving humidity. Above a certain temperature a certain humidity removes your ability to sweat, and your body becomes incapable of cooling itself. That's when people die who are not normally considered at risk.

here's a little taste of the American police state for people that don't understand how men live here - from your teenage years the government declares war on you - these are all criminal offenses and the people will have criminal records for life:

So sad what this has come to. And, they (the government, corporations, etc) WILL leverage any infraction or record against you in your future.

With the court record systems being made open to the internet combined with the data aggregation companies and at-will employment, the criminal record system has practically become a legal mechanism for blackmail.

Unless I'm mistaken the US is the only country on Earth with a drinking age over 18. It's like Saudi Arabia with more rain

OK, this is probably over the top a little, but try to get through it and not feel something is about to happen, big time.

99PerCent 2018-07-25 18:35:58 UTC #482

Now what?

Now they have the necessary hydrogen and oxygen for the next leg of the journey through space. ....and the building blocks for colonization. Pretty cool
