Pagers exploded.

Walkie-talkies exploded.

Are people living in fear their lightswitch is about to blow up, or their showerhead, or something? Is there a climate of fear about hidden bombs in everyday objects?

Same word actually, not coincidence (see article)

Ocra is governed by a community council that holds weekly meetings with all inhabitants in attendance; most decisions are made directly democratic. The community also practices the system of faena (Spanish for "task", known as Mink'a in Quechua), a mandatory weekly community labor tribute that all adults in the town have to take part in.

This communal labor initiative goes back to the Incan labor systemsβ€”Mink'a for local communities, and Mit'a for federal projects. The local laws of Ocra prescribe 4 days of faena per month, and the community council decides over when and where the collective labor force shall be deployed.

A welfare queen? On our nice reaganist site?

I think the French phrase is, "North American and British writers discuss class and race, but forget about the correct ratio of garlic to olive oil"

[-] Vampire@hexbear.net 25 points 5 days ago

Not sure how you'd quantify it, but Britain definitely makes less of a thing of race than the USA does. There's racism over there but it's not a constant obsession.

I know 2 of the 5 AES (China and North Korea) have a nearly no-immigration policy, but what about the other three?

The paper looks at breadfruit, air potato, carob, chestnut, Enset, banana/plantain, sago palm, evergreen oak/encina, yeheb nut, Mayan breadnut, perennial beans, almonds, nuts, olives, coconuts, avocado, honey locust pods, and tahitian chestnut and their potential to replace part of the dependency on cereals.

It would be great if we could get more of our food from trees. It would reduce labour input and pesticide input.

You can also multitask the land better often with trees. My grandfather used to have cattle among breadfruit trees on his farm. Breadfruit is great stuff, lots of uses.

This article makes me want to take a closer look at Brazil nuts. Figure 3 shows a yield close to 5 t/ha and being nuts they are more nutritionally dense than boring starches. (There's a lecture series you can find on youtube called something like 'nuts as a staple food')

Then around Figure 4 they talk about how trees growing perennials would lock up more carbon than cropland.

Interesting to see the agriculture versus huntgather dialectic. And also the sedentary versus pastoral dialectic within agriculture.

There are a handful of statist places: Vietnam, China, Italy-Greece and a few others, but mostly anarchs.

Iceland, Madagascar, and New Zealand are virgin to man.

Abstract

Ecological intensification of agro-ecosystems, based on the optimization of ecological functions such as biological pest control, to replace agrochemical inputs is a promising route to reduce the ecological footprint of agriculture while maintaining commodity production. However, the performance of organic farming, often considered as a prototype of ecological intensification, in terms of pest control remains largely unknown. Here, using two distinct meta-analyses, we demonstrate that, compared to conventional cropping systems, (i) organic farming promotes overall biological pest control potential, (ii) organic farming has higher levels of overall pest infestations but (iii) that this effect strongly depends on the pest type. Our study shows that there are lower levels of pathogen infestation, similar levels of animal pest infestation and much higher levels of weed infestation in organic than in conventional systems. This study provides evidence that organic farming can enhance pest control and suggests that organic farming offers a way to reduce the use of synthetic pesticide for the management of animal pests and pathogens without increasing their levels of infestation.
