There's more money to be made keeping it illegal. More risk, more reward.

Most of the UK illegal weed is produced by a monopoly producer. There's the odd hippy growing their own, but the stuff the most prolific dealers sell all comes from the same source, up and down the country.

It looks daft now with a little hindsight, but we're kind of still in the foresight stage for the overall life of IPv6.

Copenhagen pretty much has this. So easy to get around everywhere.

It's a bit more nuanced. If you're in North America, it's more likely than not that you'll have a Californian tomato. If you're in Asia, it's probably Chinese. If you're in Europe there's a lot of clout for Italian tomatoes, but you'll probably see a lot of local produce front and centre, with maybe some budget options from another country or in the off-season.

But ultimately water shortages in Cali are going to have little effect on Europe. Prices on the shelve are so far removed beyond cost that a global market price rise caused by the shortage won't have a massive effect on the price consumers pay - we're already paying as much as they can get away with charging, at this point it doesn't really matter much what excuse they use to raise the price because they were already planning to do that anyway.

Eh, the author definitely has more responsibility than he makes out. He's fully aware that it wasn't suitable as a backup for all of his stuff (like the book he was writing and all the tutorials), but acts like that shouldn't matter because he wanted to use it that way to make his desktop workflow better.

That's the stator winding of the motor. If you put a magnet in there and hook it up to AC you could make it spin.

All of those things are already criminal, making this seem entirely performative.

So in other words you wrongly assumed I was in the US and that my tomatoes would therefore likely be Californian.

Did you give up making clever posts as well?

Also the actual roses were in the bushes on the side.

I'm pretty sure they did actually get rid of a lot of the flowers anyway and got rid of things they shouldn't have, but the layout of it isn't so drastically changed and the lawn can easily be replaced.

Something like 45% of the world’s fruit comes from our state alone.

This is obviously not true. Maybe it's true across North America, but California does not produce 50% of the world's produce.

American produce is not found on the shelves of European supermarkets. Even big franchises like Dominos, they source more locally than that.

China produce the most tomatoes in the world, at 37% of the global supply.
