Then again, this is the Trump maladministration.

You have a point. My Lubuntu system also has an eject button next to each removable drive. There is a certain cultural bias that comes from having used computers for a long time. One becomes used to norms that are not intuitive to those who haven’t lived with them. I once tried to explain that “This icon has to be…

Long ago, I had to type information into a three-part ‘carbonless carbon paper’ form. Having taken a typing class in high school, I set up properly in the office, using an IBM Selectric typewriter.

More like ‘descriptive’, since it has recently been observed that tomato plants, and other Solanaceae, enrich the soil around themselves by killing insects.

Speaking of ‘unintended consequences’:

“Ruby Red” grapefruit are a result of ‘atomic breeding’ techniques, in which plants are exposed to gamma radiation to create new traits. Such random genetic damage is, of course, much less precise and controlled than modern genetic engineering, and yet these fruit are not objectionable to any consumer for their…

Pro GMO are generally into serving children poisons and ignoring sterility and cancers.

Enjoy your paycheck though, Astor turfer.
