BarbarianElephant posted:I usually like “healthy” foods but quinoa tastes horribly bitter and gritty to me. So I’m very woke/anti-woke by never eating it. It's a surprisingly good replacement for ground meat in a dish you make vegetarian, like a chili with quinoa is almost as good as beef chili. Just make sure you cook it enough that it loses the grit.

If your quinoa is gritty it’s either full of rocks or undercooked

The culinary definition of “fruit” predates the botanical definition by centuries. My point is that many fruits are very sweet. If a person regularly eats strawberries, mangos, and peaches, their taste won’t fall so out of calibration that quinoa becomes sweet.

Arsenic Lupin posted:This. Like how the living gently caress did their agricultural computer get away with faking it for years and years? And, as an ag scientist I follow on Twitter points out, they were building on technology that was ten years obsolete in the first place, and apparently did no consulting at all with people in ag science. An MIT person actually commented in wonder on a Webstreamed panel that oh, there are agricultural colleges in the middle of the country.  if you think that a techbro lab would actually go meet the experts to understand the current state of a field before they try to disrupt it.Still if you think that a techbro lab would even do extensive reading.It's about 99.9% likely someone just searched on google (not google scholar) for "automated farming", concluded the first three results were poo poo and set out to improve from there. There'll be actual citations and vague reasons for why the chosen approach was actually good despite those citations in the paper, but probably just because reviewer 2 pointed out that agriculture is already a field that already exists. MickeyFinn posted:One of the things that blew me away when I got started in science is how clique-y it is. Throw in some old-fashioned I-am-a-computer-toucher-and-therefore-smarter-than-everyone and it's really easy not to have any idea what is going on in the field you are "disrupting" until it's too late. Peer reviewers are often petty and sometimes can't wait to get to the second page of your manuscript to start trashing it, but it is better than this billionaire-fueled incompetence. The ideal solution is to distribute science funding by a combination of generous core funding and a grant lottery, with peer review only as an initial filter to remove blatant garbage from the grant lottery. This way labs are guaranteed to be able to function at a basic level, while grants become less biased because funding decisions within the (too large to completely fund) pool of well-reviewed grant applications are already arbitrary and unrelated to quality. e: also incentivises researchers to apply for grants because you actually want to do the specific project. Seems more useful than the current practice of just submitting the maximum possible number of grant applications because otherwise they're totally hosed and then misspending the grant on whatever they actually set out to do because even small early-stage projects cannot be funded from $0 available internal funds. suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Sep 23, 2019 |

silence_kit posted:I thought that the problem with quinoa was that when it first became a trendy health food in the first world, the price of quinoa skyrocketed. I would think that that would be good for the farmers there, but maybe not the other locals who temporarily couldn't afford to buy quinoa. Farmers in that regions stopped selling quinoa to local markets, and started exporting it. In place of quinoa, they buy and eat (mostly Asian) rice. This makes the farmers richer overall, but the day laborers just get screwed.
