That's one of the coolest research I've seen in a while. Bookmarked, will read it later!

I don't know much about wil, but I've seen his appearance with Neil deGrasse Tyson and it was really cool. Seemed like a #qoto guy =)

Halcyon doesn't retrieve from the server the actual character limits, it just suppose that it is the 'normal' 500. Reply to me with more than 500 characters and enjoy the magic!

That's alright. What kind of community do you want to be a part of, out of curiosity?
@kevfrost I've been to the tropics, Asia and Australia, and worked in farms there, but never in staple ones. What's heavily affecting the number of harvests there is the rain, which is usually concentrated in one part of the year. What I know is that rice has 3 harvest a year at most, sweet potato has up to 2/3 depending on the rain... but that's easily searchable, and I don't see sociological connection. What else are you hiding? ;)
@peterdrake Overwatering, likely, which doesn't necessarily mean that you are giving too much water (ah!), it could also be that the soil is too clayish and won't drain properly.
Nitrogen deficiency wouldn't be my first guess, those top leaves are of a very deep green and those burnings at the end are not only on the more yellow ones. It may still be, though, young leaves are the first affected by lack of N.

Thanks for motivating me, I'll report back as the first compost comes out of it =)

@Gregouw
It does, thank you for taking the time to reply, Iooks like a good read!
@peterdrake can we have a lighter on her side, for scale reference?

Or ruta?
@mamur
I share your activist, environmentalist interest, and I'm happy to find more of it here. It reminds me of the reason I join the fediverse in the first place.
Glad to follow you =)
@Gregouw
Thanks for the suggestion, does this book focus on the evolutionary perspective? Does it include evolutionary stable strategies or is more on the group evolution POV?
@mamur
Afaik we should be approaching 2.5 million users as fediverse.
@freemo
I can be crazy, and everything is a lie, but can I test it or prove it?
How to choose the best interpretation of what happens is a delicate philosophical matter, but I won't say that the most reasonable and sensible explanation for the fire burning me is that I am crazy, after so much testing.
I will not have the 100% certainty, but you don't need that in science or life, and you'll likely never have it anyway. When things approach a high enough level of possible truth and endure many attacks we treat them as facts, in science, in communication, as people in general. That is my understand of it, anyway.
@Surasanji
@freemo
It can be, sure. That is why it has a specific set of instructions, and can be reproduced.
Now, if many independent tester repeat the instructions and have the same results, the chances of it being an allucination are so thiny that I hope you are not proposing it as a possibility.
Fire will burn you. Try it, again and again, on people and on youself, it will still burn. That is a good starting point.
I may be wrong in it, but if my predictions prove themselves true, the fact is tested over and over, come on, do you follow that line of thought in your life and keep testing fire?
Sure, maybe it won't burn you next time, but if we can't even agree on that then any communication is really impossible.
