> Sounds like the genetic editing is not necessary as long as the farm conditions are good..

And remember if you document or report on bad farm conditions in many US states, you’ll go to jail for telling the truth while the people running the farm do not.


source?

I assume they’re referring to ag-gag laws, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ag-gag Gives a reasonable background by the looks.

Parent poster may be referring to laws on the books that forbid the sale of videos depicting where animals are subject to harm or treated cruelly. I suspect that these laws were passed in response to animal snuff videos a few years ago, but the law could be used to prosecute an activist, I guess - although it might also demonstrate the point the activist was making in order for a prosecution to pass.

Go to outback Australia, or remote South America or Southern Africa. Due to the tilt of the earth the southern hemisphere gets better stars.

It will blow your mind.

I’d been out of Australia for a decade, living in the Yukon, having all kinds of remote adventures. On my first night back in Australia in the middle of a city of 50k people I took photos because the Milky Way was staggering. 10x what I had seen in the decade prior. This is a single exposure, very much what it looked like in real life

I spent three years on Africa, and it’s the same story there. Literally everyday millions of africans laugh and sing and cry with joy at weddings, parties, birth of children. New hospitals get built, life is rapidly improving.

Basically nobody in the west has any idea, and people always assume I was in a hell hole the entire time. It’s wild what propaganda will do for knowledge of a place.


It’s a sign of weakness because trump has to squash the truth from being broadcast so he can stay in power and do whatever he wants.

Plenty of identical example in history, none of them lead to good things.


It’s utterly mind blowing how facts and the truth are now labeled a “progressive bias” in the US.

It’s like you have to cover stuff up, deny and lie to be a conservative.


> It’s like you have to cover stuff up, deny and lie to be a conservative.

Depends which conservative is the president, now.


No they won’t be hypocrites for doing nothing, they’re standing by while their team wins. Carrying loads of guns is a good way to make sure that happens.

I mean, if you want to merge in heavy traffic and nobody is letting you in everyone knows to cut in front of a very expensive car. They’ll brake.

It’s really cool to read reports like this, keeping in mind that just a few years ago many people were loudly proclaiming self driving cars were decades away, and would never be safer drivers than humans.

If they keep up the slow and steady improvements and roll outs to cities worldwide it’s hard to imagine my one year old ever needing to drive a vehicle.


A cynical take is To keep kids out of the labor market, and to keep them busy so the parents can participate in the economy.

I think day care for comprehensive education is main goal. Then with secondary education is to make them somewhat useful in work life. As a lot of truly unskilled labour does not do well in modern economy.

How do you Define real truck?

The cybertruck has a vastly higher tow capacity and much higher payload than a ranger or Colorado or many other pickups. It has a bigger bed than all of those too.

What doesn’t it do that you need it to?


> Ranger or Colorado

Are you claiming that the Cybertruck is aiming at the low-end Ranger or Colorado market?

People aren't upgrading to a F150 or Silverado to "compete" with a Ranger or Colorado. They're doing it so that they can cosplay having a better truck than the people who "only" bought a Ranger, Colorado, or Maverick. (Or maybe they're actually people who can use the full-sized truck like a F150. But as a city dweller I 100% admit that most of what I see in my area are cosplayers).

This is important because the F150 Lightning is right there and available as a competitor, and somehow launched years before the Cybertruck despite being announced afterwards.


> Are you claiming that the Cybertruck is aiming at the low-end Ranger or Colorado market?

Not at all. I was asking how you define “real truck” (which you didn’t do), and asking if a ranger or Colorado is a real truck.

What does the F150 lightning do that the cybertruck doesn’t?

I’ve never driven either, but on paper they seem pretty equal.


> and asking if a ranger or Colorado is a real truck.

They are obviously not in the category of an F150. No where close.

And expecting me to continue a serious discussion if you can't tell the difference between a Ranger and an F150 is... asking for a bit much.


For the third time I’m asking what is your definition of real truck. I’m starting to think you don’t have one, you just wanted to diss the cybertruck.

I’m also asking what the f150 lightning does that the cyber truck doesn’t?

Are they both not real trucks? Why/ why not.

When stating your opinion it’s helpful to give reasons and expand your ideas, otherwise you’re just blurting stuff out randomly. Bring people with you, instead of just attacking them when they ask for more clarification.


> For the third time

Read the original post. F150. Not a Ranger. Not a Colorado. I'm not even sure why you're bringing the other ones up.

It's not that hard to tell the difference between a Ranger and F150. And if you need me to spell it out for you, then that's probably something YOU need to figure out on your own.


I brought them up because I’m trying to understand your definition of real truck. It would be illustrative to understand where you draw the line and why, but you clearly can’t.

Regardless, you also won’t answer why the f150 lightning is superior to the cybertruck. It’s pretty clear you have no idea, you are just saying “huur duur cybertruck bad”

If you do actually have useful thoughts, please do enlighten us.


Read the article. Or are you here to argue with me in particular?

Hitting the tow hitch can snap the Cybertruck gigacasted rear frame, totaling the vehicle. It is laughably frail compared to steel.

At that price point is it really competing with the F-150, Ranger, or Colorado? How does it compare with the F-350?

they wrote a big number in the field “tow capacity” which is not quite the same as having a big tow capacity
