    GMOs aren’t dangerous because of the genetic manipulation. They’re dangerous because of everything around it. Now it’s possible to create vegetables that survive a centimetre of glyphosate coating. And if the farmers reuse seeds, they’re breaching copyright law. With this, plants are copyrightable, would you like all of the cancer of contemporary American IP law applied to your food?










  • My experience is, while that is true, problem is, if you want to move away from the ground temperature, which is, let’s just say, 9°C experience-wise, then you will need to have your heating running 24-7 to move it to a liveable temperature, even if that temp is just 16°C. My perspective is insofar biased that it comes from gas heating, and I had no control over that place’s heating. So in short: fuck gas. My current living situation is as follows. I live on the second floor. Left of me, there’s a flat that’s heating. Right of me, there’s a flat that’s heating. On top of me, there’s a flat that’s heating. Below me, there’s a flat that’s heating and behind me is the hallway, which has 20°C for the entire year. Basically, I have my heating turned to frost protection and I get 25°C, no joke. Plus I have district heating now. So that’s a massive improvement.
