It depends.... unfortunately Organic has become green-washed to to have little of it's intended meaning. Organics grown with permaculture practices uses little to no chemicals for pests and weeds. Also check out r/permaculture~!

They are called locavores, and it is kind of a movement, like the whole "organic" thing.

HEY Reddit, why don't we usurp the status quo, and select someone to run for president. by colbaltbluein politics

[–]colbaltblue[S] 0 points1 point ago

True, but I think we could reach a consensus if properly motivated. Perhaps we could decide on a platform, then pick the candidate we believe most closely represents those interests.

how about dropping "electronic" and just saying transfer of information, as fiber-optic communications would be exempt from your current iteration.

I might stop by on the way back from OKC.

U.S. Government Confirms Link Between Earthquakes and Hydraulic Fracturing by hope4manin oklahoma

You should check out how the fracking process works. They inject this slurry of heavy metals, chemicals, etc.... called "mud" into the ground at high pressure to break up layers and layers of shell to make extraction easier. If this process is done near a fault line I see the likely hood of inducing tectonic activity to be high, if pressure is already present on the apposing plates. This is not to say, however, that fracking causes earthquakes, just that it facilities them; possibly to the extent that it increases the likelihood of strong quakes.

I personally am apposed to fracking, not due to the possibility of inducing quakes, but because the environmental damage is insufferable. There is a mounting pile of evidence that shows fracking to cause various health risks to the surrounding counties where fracking has occurred. The contamination of the water table alone is reason enogh to stop this counterproductive practice.

Yes, yes they are and prolific. Pray you never have to clean up after they have diarrhea.

Given the entire radio spectrum were available, would it be possible create a distributed wireless network that could compare to FTTP (fiber) in speed? by colbaltbluein askscience

[–]colbaltblue[S] 0 points1 point ago

Perhaps you missed my point of using different frequencies for different communication scenarios, e.g. using short range spectrum for end user to node communications, while long range (vhf/uhf) handles node to node communication.

It would not take much to better the cacophony of communications competing for spectrum, but yes I need to do more research.

Thinking About Going To OKC by meat_rainin oklahoma

There are a lot more stops on 74 now, but that use to be my favorite route.

I know what you mean about a number of frequencies being locked in, which sucks. I think a distributed wireless network of independent nodes would be far superior to our current infrastructure. This would also more closely match DARPAs intention to make the internet next to impossible to take down. I appreciate the numbers, any chance you could figure out how many UHF/VHF tower would be needed to blanket the U.S.? I tried to find out how many broadcast towers there are currently, to no avail. Do you think this would be possible/beneficial in a developing country like India?
