There are dozens of us.

In all seriousness, I do occasionally visit select subreddits even though I no longer have an account. I'd like to think leaving reddit has changed my internet browsing habits in a good way.

Technically, I guess.

Unfortunately, we still seem to be very far away from it replacing our usual way of growing meat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0zCf4Yup34

Going for some locally adapted strains is a great idea. Thanks for that! I'm actually a terrible gardener so I hadn't thought of it. I just used what little seeds my neighbour gave me, and in limited area because I tend to prioritise fruits over veggies and they are what dominate most of my garden. The little space I experimented with tomatoes on is currently occupied by legumes.

The tight temperature range is something I very much agree with you on. I think climate conducive to their growth play a big factor in disease immunity as well. I've seen them thrive like weeds in sub tropical regions. But for some reason, even in controlled conditions, they fail to do that well here in my area.

This video was exactly what first came to mind when I read "badly understandable dialogues"! It bothers me that as we got better mics, the actors became more unintelligible instead of the other way as one would predict.

Somehow, I did not see that comment coming. I laughed out loud.

Das ergibt absolut Sinn.

It looks beautiful. Both man made intricate details and natural greenery in one place.

Agreed. The entire homepage being half ad and half shorts hurts my eyes. Good thing we have Revanced and such. I just hope Revanced doesn't go the way of Vanced anytime soon.

We're in agreement, then. It's a shame that the woman was straight up executed for such a tiny amount over the limit. I bet most of us couldn't even feel that 15 grams of difference if placed on our palms. But that's how it is in SG despite us outsiders wishing for a less than lethal judgement, and they do try to warn people of the consequences of possession at every step of the way to that country. So the onus is, to an extent, on the visitors as well to protect themselves.

I watched a few vids in the past where random Singaporeans were asked what they thought of the capital punishment and while most agreed it was severe, they also said it made sense considering their country was hamstrung by widespread opium addiction in the past. Unfortunate, but if the Singaporeans themselves don't push for the change, it's unlikely to happen anytime soon.

And in no way am I denying it. I thought it was imperative to mention the type of drug alongside the dose since heroin has a lower minimum amount you can be caught with and still walk away. She wouldn't have been executed for 31 grams of weed.

I merely added info from the article that was missing on the OP's comment, I don't necessarily agree with SG's laws.

I'm not saying it is. I simply meant that heroin being a far more potent drug, the minimum amount that qualifies you for SG's draconian punishment is lower. That minimum amount being roughly half of what this woman was caught with, ie, at 16gms IIRC.

I believe you're taking your anger out on the wrong person here. I didn't make those laws, I wouldn't have. But it is what it is, and from what I've seen on the internet, most Singaporeans seem to be either apathetic to it or in support of it given their history with opium.
