I have two professors that I have strong memory of.
The first thought classes that she was not qualified to teach. Using methods outside her narrow window of understanding hurt your score. She set a rule that if you ask for her to recheck a question on the final you will lose 20 points. On my final I had a minus 20 because she doesn’t understand powers of 2.
The second is brilliant but very absent minded. Gave us a badly worded question. It was meant to be a very hard question and I didn’t know the subject well enough to solve it. Used mathematical logic to prove he didn’t ask what he thought he was asking. And solved the very easy question he actually asked.
He gave me a perfect score and a job.

Importance of order changes by field. In my field, at least for in lab work: first is the main lab person that worked on the project. Last is the PI, everyone that helped goes in the sandwich. I’m unsure about collaborations between labs and at that point too afraid to ask.

We don’t have a stable way to feed 8 billion people. The dependency on monoculture will cause many people to die under a changing climate.
Self gardening may:
- Increase food stability
- Increase access to nutrients rich food, GR while saving many, reduced food quality
- Be fucking tasty and cheap

Yea, I had Basil im some apartments. The current one has no sun at-all. Basil needs some. But when I bought plants my father guided me how to split them. Gifted my friends, don’t need more then one.

I worked a few summers on a commercial organic farm and for many years in a small family plot. Maybe we are talking about different scales of transportation, quality control or different species of tomatoes.

I don’t live in the USA.
I just don’t live near a tomatoes field, however, it’s not just time, perfectly ripe tomatoes don’t survive transportation well. So mass production of tomatoes requires the picking of less ripe fruit.

It may be true for ‘soldier’ plants. However there are thousands of plant species that can’t be both efficiently mass produced and shipped while still being of good quality. So you get a bad produce, very costly produce or both.
I can’t afford fresh Basil leaves, I maintained a plant in my kitchen in some of the apartments I lived in. The current one doesn’t have enough sun. It took 10 minutes of work to arrange and emptying left over water.
Also, if you never tasted cherry tomatoes straight from the plant you don’t what you are missing, and how shity is the produce in the market.

Bahahaha, if I save all my income, for 3 years, I will not be able to buy a house. I may, may!, be able to collect enough for a down payment on a very shity apartment that will cost more over time as it’s already breaking down.

If you buy a Moka pot and the cheapest grinder you can find, you can buy fresh beans in bulk. It will cost less in the long run, and the coffee will taste better.
