tut tut short memory: NATO sprang to george lunatic bush's rescue when he so foolishly bombed the crap out of hundreds of thousands innocence in Afghanistan

i grew a few types of avocado in NSW, including from seeds and think best by looking closely you can detect they are ready to pick when the shine goes off the skin, also best to lightly press with thumb on stem area (top) never squeeze the side, just put thumb where stem was and if slightly soft then its ready.
Unripe avocados you can put in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana and i notice or tomato for two to three days to ripen. Never try and eat un-ripened avo, because until it is ripe it hasn't turned into its oil. Most Avocado skins do not turn brown, only the commercially promoted Hass do that, the promoted hass variety will hang a long time on the tree before must be picked and so the avocado industry educated people to believe its the best and ready to eat when it turns brown. Earliest ripening varieties are is probably Pilkington and Jim (both clones from fruit in California) and the latest Reed and Hass
My favorite use is on toast, squeeze a bit lemon likely sprinkle pepper and salt.
Lemon juice can prevent avo browning
Even Greeks make Quinoa salad
I've always understood there are two genus types of avocado Mexican and Guatemalan (include big round variety "Reed") however see a claim on this page there is also a Hawaiian genus
On more than one occasion i stormed out of the gompa, once because i couldn't handle meditating observing light bubbles bouncing about in my mind. That was far to much for me to handle... Took me years to master meditation breathing in one nostril and out through the other eleven time, in one out the other way round 11 times then in both and out both 11 times x 3. Years before o managed that then used it a lot of times. I also found views in the life of Gandhi book very useful, others have as much right to there opinion as i does to mine etc etc, very useful
its sad when someone is seriously ill, not just mental but also physical, projects a misconception that if the seriously ill person examines a different understanding some how you'd loose something quite strange.
yes seeds and plants been hybridized / modified right across the glob, whole food chain is been contaminated by academics one way or another, certainly not done by the birds and the bees and people wonder why hospitals a full.
yes 245T for example nineteen million gallons of herbicide were sprayed on Vietnam. 24D that replaced 245T is still used today also has dioxn in it.
In 1980s and 1990s governments across Australia outlawed the use of the herbicide 245T. The ban was introduced for one very good reason - 245T contains dioxin.
Also In recent weeks, we've learned some very disturbing truths about glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's broad-spectrum herbicide Roundup, which is generously doused on genetically engineered (GE) Roundup Ready crops.
GE crops are typically far more contaminated with glyphosate than conventional crops, courtesy of the fact that they're engineered to withstand extremely high levels of Roundup without perishing along with the weed.
Those that use Soya product best listen up, soya plants been genetically modified so farmers can spray roundup on the crop kills the weeds but not the soya. When roundup first came out it was described as a hormone based product that caused plant cells to rapidly divide (safe feed to your babies), and is not off topic because all the above impacts on the creatures on a massive scale
unless you looked at what actually happened long timers on CS would recall threads explaining would have been before you appeared notice that gunns got shut down what mystery?
soon maybe a world with no more snow leopards, tiger, orangutan, gorilla, rhino, elephant, also could be the Tasmanian devil contrary to popular belief i believe because Gunns dropped heaps of 1080 and the devil fed on dead bodies the 1080 produced, tons and tons of 1080 actually, so there is good reason for people to check up why...
Not all because human activities, but zillions of creatures that are killed during wars that most people never even give thought to and of cause as others have mentioned, in direct consequence of imbalances species are lost including soon many be the australian camel and brumby
some people have problems comprehending exactly what needs to be understood, expectations of outcomes without correct view, which is of course an impossibility so over over bite-theee-head off
