  1. its hardly ground breaking research though is it? an online survey with a pretty small and narrow sample size. Surprised that a healthier diet makes you... healthier? Want the CHO to mandate a ban on meat? That one wouldn't go down well i bet. Anyway, that's probably why he didn't mention it. Simples.
  2. A vaccine alternative? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/01/covid-antiviral-pill-halves-hospitalisations-and-deaths-maker-says
  3. "in highly selected populations" its a start I guess.
  4. further debate is unnecessary then. (and foolhardy)
  5. I'm no expert (on anything) but I still feel its the long fingered one. I think the tube one could be artemesia argyi
  6. Is that it? To counter one piece of 'propaganda' with simply another piece of 'propaganda' seems naive. Frankly, the commercial channels ARE toxic - they are largely unwatchable - I think everybody here would agree. But is your call to de-fund the ABC over it not just misplaced anger? What do you expect of the ABC? Counter opinion pieces supporting the "brave freedom fighters" like your youtube examples?
  7. What is "the truth" that was disregarded?
  8. as best I can tell the one on the left
  9. ^ they certainly don't intend to take it lying down.
  10. My brain is really struggling here. Can someone please tell me what this clip has to do with the ABC?
  11. environmental factors play a huge role in my opinion. I think you'll find the genetics will probably define the types of variations you can expect, but water, sun, root space and growing medium will be the catalysts
  12. Pro-vax! Anti-vax! I would like to suggest there is a third group to which I belong: Nutri-vax. See, as a parent, I had to make a call and set an example for my children and it almost feels like there are/were only two options: 1. The world is a fucked up place run by mysterious forces hell-bent on wiping out the common man through a nefarious plot that revolves around the coronavirus and vaccines. Trust no-one children and live your lives in fear! or 2. The world is a fucked up place but most people are really just trying to do the right thing. Trust most people but, in particular, scientists over politicians (and it's mostly scientists calling the shots at the moment because politicians need someone to blame).
  13. ^ nice to see you around WB.
  14. Welcome to lockdownville! Good to have you back but it must be tough for the mexicans i bet.
  15. Hey Change - you know how much I love you mate but I think you might be oversimplifying things a bit here. I don't think HD and I are so much discussing the politics of the situation. Rather, we are against the blatant misinformation being bandied about - it's downright dangerous. There are still way too many people thinking the vaccines are injecting Bill Gates' microchips - I shit you not - old(er) people that should know better. They have totally discarded logical thought (like why do we need two shots? was the microchips missing components in the first shot? doh) and jump on any human mistake (like mask wearing or slips of the tongue) as proof that its all a scam. Others think its 5G. FFS. HD and I just want to dispel these myths and encourage vaccination - it will save lives and get us back to (the new) normal quicker. And Zedo - it's super tough out there at the moment. You are not alone - my single mates are all suffering big time - I do what I can to help but its not enough. Try and hang in there and, when its possible, get along to one of the SAB meets in your area. The people on this forum are uniquely special. Post more here - pics and random thoughts. Try and stay busy. It is a shitty time there is no doubt but I have seen this pandemic bring out the best in people (and sadly, the worst as well).
  16. When I heard he'd 'misspoken' I suspected it would be lapped up by the theorists: https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2021/jul/30/nobody-in-icu-fully-vaccinated-how-one-small-mistake-became-fodder-for-conspiracy-theorists-video
  17. ^ anything that mutes Alan Jones has to be a good thing
  18. I have some very spiky cuts of Tricho. Cuzcoensis. The cuts I recently pruned and the tip I found fallen over on the weekend - it probably got damaged when I pruned and then the recent gale force winds did the rest. One cut is about 30cm ($30) . The other cut is a little longer about 36cm ($35). The tip I will trim to no more than 40cm - I'd like to get $50 for it as its a beauty. Shipment is via post or express post and calculated separately at cost (rounded up as danger money for packing ). Please PM me if interested.
  19. I have some very chunky cuts of Tricho. Cordobensis 'Lance' that I recently pruned (what a tricky procedure that was). All about 30cm (and nearly half as wide ). $30 each plus postage. Cuts are a good 3 to 4kg so be warned. Shipment is via post or express post and calculated separately at cost. Please PM me if interested.
  20. I sense a new business opportunity: drone-pollination! Nice pics mate.
  21. "Elect officials with science backgrounds". Now you're fucking talking! Only then will the human race go on to bigger and better things... Edit: I tried to elect a surgeon as my local member last election but the other f-wits around here decided an ageing tennis player was more appropriate.
  22. No TV required - the internet gives us everything we need: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fauci-gain-function-covid/ I guess I just find it a little frustrating that you, of all people, would appear to be adding weight to this right wing agenda. Worse: you don't know where the rumour started or even really much about it but you're happy to repeat it and therefore perpetuate it. Frankly we are all pawns on this site and none of us KNOW anything. I will, however, continue to try and put MY trust in peer-reviewed science where possible. And as much as I despise Gladys and her pack of pork-barreling cronies to think that this is all part of a conspiracy to erode us of our freedoms speaks major paranoia.
