Great for mid-sized crops (raspberries, tomatoes, etc.)
Terrible for very small crops (wheat, corn) or very large crops (almond trees)
So utility, but limited utility

This isn't free energy, it requires putting energy into the system in total. It's just that the energy has been put in and extracted from the quantum fluctuations.

Who said anyone was shamed? I’m saying the human body and mind is capable of more than we give it credit for. Going through this procedure doesn’t have to be the only option, others deserve to know it’s possible to do inner work and they can make their own choice if it’s for them to start or not. Any choice they make is acceptable. I’ve already acknowledged it’s not a simple easy thing to do, but it’s possible.

Neither do you, as is evident from your post. Just how do you think these systems work anyway, a bunch of hard-coded rules?

These articles about ships being automated are just dumb. Driving the ship isn't the hard part. The maintenance is the hard part. You can reduce the watch to just 3 people. It should be more than 3. They should do almost nothing but they should be there. The maintenance staff is vital to keeping these ships operating in the long term.
We should do a better job of building things on the continents they're used on.

It’s still very fascinating though even if it is saddled with an unfortunate headline.
The most immediate application I can think of for this is a very precise waste heat management system that would help keep qubits coherent.

It kind of is.
When we’re going down to that level, the definition of ‘nothing’ becomes difficult to define.

I am, and some have indeed cured themselves.
So just because YOU don’t believe in your ptsd traumatized peers doesn’t mean it’s not ever possible in their lives. Clearly you’ve some reading up to do; try Joe Dispenza or Bruce Lipton. Or Gregg Braden.

Reply to Potential of Vertical Farming? by Josh12345_
People want food for immediate pleasures, not just to meet organism sustainment needs through nutrients. The financials of a vertical farms set up in an existing underutilized skyscraper is not comparable to the financials of a purpose-built facility above ground or underground. But speaking only of underutilized skyscrapers, when 'lack of profitability' is discussed, I am unclear what comparisons are accounted for.
Input costs for conventional farms include drying legumes for a regulated market, regulate crop stress responses, disease resistance, soil amendments and erosion, irrigation infrastructure cost-shares and grants to incentivize producers to undertake sustainable practices, various types of insurance and labour costs. Inflation also does not affect producers equally. Fresh produce growers do not benefit from commodity price increases in the same way when faced with international subsidized competitors.
While not every crop is best for vertical farm growing conditions, for the reasons above when reviewed on a ten-year basis certain types of crops are profitable in underutilized skyscrapers due to controls for magnitude of variability.

So listen here mother fucker. How the fuck are you going to tell me how I'm feeling based off a fucking post? You don't know me.
See....now that's angry.
This shit did not make me angry. But the title is written that way to make you feel a certain way and to get a certain reaction out of you. If you are too oblivious to see that, then we have nothing to talk about. Move along.

>A bag of flour and liter of cooking oil made in a bioreactor will represent a much more significant revolution than tomatoes and berries grown in vertical farms.
I came here to say this.
Vertical farms work great for mid-sized crops (strawberries or tomatoes), but not small (like wheat/corn) or large (like almond trees or apple trees). But bioreactors are going to be in serious play using bacteria to grow food in vats (yum, who doesn't want vat flour and vat oil? lol we'll get used to it)
