Really? Damn. Either way, archive link in the comments would be preferred.

In the future when citing Reuters, please use one of Reuters’ official outlet links (reuters.com, YouTube/Twitter from the Reuters account).

First of all, the Saudi Arabia-US petrodollar deal was signed in 1974. 2024-1974 < 80. I’m locking this post.

Please use the actual news site (CNN), not an aggregator link (Google News).

They were banned for telling someone that posted MBFC to shove [MBFC] up their ass. Decorum, please.

The articles suggest that it may be beneficial for Type 1, but that’s unconfirmed. The nature of early-stage clinical trials is that people don’t really know how things will work. That’s the point of the trials.

Lemmy is a news aggregator. Why wouldn’t you find out about an early-stage clinical trial on Lemmy?

Any such treatment, even if it works, would take decades to pass through the various approval stages before being released to the public.

Rice is easy to store and transport because it doesn’t really spoil. Is basically a supercrop in that regard.

It’s not exactly the end of the world to implement terminator seeds… The reason it hasn’t been implemented is because it’s not an issue. This is a non-issue that’s getting blown out of proportion.

Farmers will opt to maximize profits given all else equal. The license is a cost of goods sold and gets factored in when farmers decide what to plant. Farmers aren’t forced to plant golden rice.

but but but my MBFC rating!!111!

MBFC is a joke that evaluates factuality based on how well it aligns with the state department. We already know this.

DolphinMath is a propagandist that uses MBFC to whitewash propaganda. We also already know this.

Yeah, try again.

Those CGI artists need to be fired.

There’s no excuse for such shitty CGI when gen AI tools exist.

I mean… No shit? ATACMS has a range of 300km, and it’s not like Russia’s pushed the front line 300km.

Look at a map of the European power grid: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Map-of-European-high-voltage-transmission-grid-Source-Adapted-from-GENI-2011_fig1_281127145

Now repeat your claim again, but this time be serious.

No mappers seem to confirm this… There are reports of Ukrainian counteroffensives in the area, but nothing that goes so far as to indicate that Ukraine has taken back control of all of Russia’s territorial gains there. If anything, it’s starting to look like another stalemate along a new frontline.

Is Zelensky talking out of his ass? Are mappers receiving delayed data? Who knows…

It’s been almost a decade of civilian targets in Donetsk Oblast getting struck. Sure, blame it on civil war, but point still holds.

The argument against Golden Rice should have nothing to do with GMO and everything to do with monocultures.

Greenpeace is fucked in the head.

Putin’s been saying this for forever… Basically ever since the doomed peace negotiations in 2022.

Zelensky won’t accept a peace without retaking Crimea and Putin won’t accept a peace that relinquishes current territorial gains.

We’re at an impasse until someone cracks. If Zaluzhny hadn’t been exiled to Britain, maybe things would be different.

This is the entire reason why countries like China are investing hard into ultra-high-voltage transmission lines.

While regions like Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia have immense wind and solar potential, getting that electricity to the population centers is challenging.

Selling electricity to Eastern Europe, to Northern Africa, hell even to the Middle East is an option if Europe is truly operating an electricity surplus.
