It’s kind of impressive that you skipped the ‘didn’t read the article before I posted’ and went to ‘didn’t read the post title before I posted’. That’s innovative.

3 year old account, no comments, only post is this one.

Who is upvoting this garbage?

That is a lot of it, but there are cultural factors too. For traditional weddings in much of Asia you drink local palm/rice/whatever wine. Drinking is often competitive, you keep your empties in front of you on the table.

Pick a random country in Asia and search ‘methanol poisoning’ here’s Cambodia, the number of results is shocking. This has made international news because of the death toll, not because it’s an unusual occurrence.

But, what if you wanted to see the Georgian flag without clicking the article?

Honduras.

Initially the pilot seemed fine (for central america at least). Then he started nodding off and asked me if I could fly. My partner at the time dug a bottle of rum out of her bag and asked if we were going to die.

When I found the airport with a few jets on the ground I buzzed it because the radio worked intermittently.

It was kinda fun, my first landing. The pilot was still out when some unhappy looking people with sidearms showed up. There were three other passengers (I didn’t know them) they also didn’t seem very happy. I thought I did pretty good, no fire, nothing broken that wasn’t broken previously.

Makes for a good story years later, but if the aircraft looks like it’s in worse shape than an '87 Hyundai my advice is to not fly in it.

Not thailand, but Asia. I couldn’t figure out why our electricity would go out seemingly at random. I eventually found out that two houses had broken into the breaker box on the pole and connected with cable you would use for a lamp. It would thermal all the breakers in that box.

Often there is a local box that then goes to 12-16 houses, there is one main for that. Once run to your house you can do what you want, no one is inspecting you.

The electric company came out because of complaints and saw what hapened, they just cut the cables and relocked the box

Nope, don’t fly in any aircraft more than twenty years old in a developing country in bad weather.

Conspiracy theories can be fun, that doesn’t make them truthy though.

Questionable pilot training and aircraft maintenance on old aircraft in adverse conditions.

I have piloted junk where the Pilot in Command said ‘take over’. Look at the instruments, ‘hmm, altimeter, variometer, artificial horizon, compass are FUBAR’ , 'how am I navigating? ‘Watch the hills, here’s my phone, I use google maps’.

I have read it. Again, why are you posting this? It is not recent news.

You don’t have to put the in quotation marks, the translation was released by the Israeli goveernment, that is what this article and many others are referring to.

When this was released, two weeks ago, when the article was written, most articles disagreed with the official translation.

So why are you posting a two week old article?

This report is two weeks old. There have been many rebuttals to the translation. I can only assume this is posted in bad faith.

What you say seems like a fact (and is backed up by, well, a fact) however, bro says he bought kaftans. So, I’m going with kaftan bro, not some kilt wearing know it all.

There are two types of child labor though. One is sending children down the mines, or using their ‘tiny nimble hands’ on looms, and the other is very traditional your kids help out on the farm.

Broad legislation like this tends to hurt the second type, and can make poverty worse.

When I worked in Asia it was normal for the kids to miss 4-5 days of school at rice planting season, and another week at harvest. This was smallholder stuff, but in a good season you sold the excess.

It’s a pretty complex issue especially when many commodities are primarily farmed by smallholders, then capitalized by corporations.

Even small production Fair trade chocolate almost certainly employed children. They were the kids of the farm owners.

Do you want me to agree with you that big ag is shit? Well, I do.

Do I know about cross pollination? Yep, been keeping bees for a long time, though rice is wind pollinated and you aren’t controlling that anymore than my bees flight.

Have you lived in Asia? Most of what is called farms in the west are not for profit, they are a family with a few hectares of land, maybe a water buffalo. Water Buffalo are getting scarce though, what’s more common is having someone come in with a rice harvester to gather your crop, which is its own problem.

So $10k means nothing if you aren’t selling, or you sell $200.

Golden Rice was developed to address Vitamin A defiency, studies show it helps. It would be great if the whole thing was permissive license, it’s not though. This is what we have. So far it has only been grown in trials with local development agencies, Big Ag won’t touch it because of potential liability.

ETA: you want a hill to die on, go for anything Roundup Ready™ or GMO corn, not because it’s GMO, but because of the bullshit IP and the fact it is used overwhelmingly for ethanol production, not food, and has huge subsidies.

Did you read your link?

Eliminating reach-through rights and technologies that don’t show up in the most recently developed Golden Rice versions leaves us with only a few patented technologies, all of which have been made available for humanitarian purposes free of charge. The licensing process was quick and simple, contrary to what many onlookers believe. Similar projects are looking at this licensing agreement as a good example of how this kind of arrangements between the public and the private sector can be made, especially for humanitarian purposes.
