  • You’re right. When times got hard, the dog became dinner.

    I raised all my own food for a few years and fully understand the horror of having to kill to eat. It’s never pretty, despite all the arguments I can make about health of the herd, culling only the weak, and giving them the best lives they could hope for.

    I find the vegan arguments weak, though too. Every day we are discovering new levels of feelings and intelligence in life and that goes down to plants, too. It’s a harsh reality that in order to exist, you must make something else not exist… and unless we change something dramatically it’s never going away.

    All this is why I’m cautiously optimistic about lab grown meat. It could turn this whole thing on its head.








  • No mate haha… everyone uses GMT. That’s the goal. No more time zones. You don’t have to plan when going to another location, it’s the same time everywhere. If I gotta call someone on the other side of the world, it may be dark where they are and light where I am, but it’s still 4 o’clock. That’s the beauty of it.

    No more time zone translation, do they use time changes, if they do, which one? That’s all over. You could even get rid of AM and PM and use military time so there no more confusion at all.

    Yes, it would require us to get used to saying I’m working at 7 pm when it would normally be 2 pm local but that’s nothing compared to the dance we’re doing right now and once you’ve adjusted, it’s done for good. How much productivity is lost when people miss phone calls or meetings because of the disparity?

    Hell, I’ve even missed BUSINESS FLIGHTS because of this stuff and I’m not alone.
