Weed and slug in biodynamic tomatoes? You don't know much about farming in reality, do you

City folk have wunderful ideas. So hard to find a shrubber these days.

I think your copy&paste Google translator skills have gone wrong.

BTW, I wiped out the whole population of mealybugs with neem oil. I feel terrible.

How do you pronounce “impasse”? It’s being used w.r.t. Brexit a lot. There’s the English way and the foreign way. I prefer “imp,” rather than “amp.” Does that give me away as a Brexiteer?

Tom Watson, Labour, says "omp."

Labour into headers?

Without going deep and philosophical, I occasionally find the vegan argument a little light in terms of which living things it is OK to kill. I don’t pretend to have any high ground here. If it tastes good or is likely to hurt me, I’m OK with killing it. I’m not big on fox hunts, bull fighting, and similar spectacles of gratuitous killing. Bugs, meh!

That's why I prefer to refer to my veganism as an ideology rather than a philosophy. It's individual, and I don't think I ever shared with anyone my personal reasons. The only philosophy I can extract from this is that killing is never OK and I can't imagine any categorisation (species, intelligence level, etc.) which could justify it. I try to consider and minimise harm I incur on the natural world and non-human beings. Most animal-derived products are replaceable or prodigal, but I still have to feed my cats with meat (but I will research and potentially switch to in-vitro meat when available), visit the dentist (even if stomatology tests on animals) and I murdered the mealybugs.
I would prefer to invite ants or ladybirds to do the dirty job for me. Back at home they moved in every summer encouraged by some sugar treats - sugar and nettles are a good way of letting them know where they are and aren't welcome.

I saw a squadron of Red Arrows going back from D-Day celebrations today. Then I heard them. Were they flying at a supersonic velocity?

Sorry, I wasn't clear. They seemed to pass the sky in front of me almost before I heard their sound. I guess I would need to estimate the distances and tell if they were sub- or supersonic.

Hawks T1 (max 0.88 Mach in level flight, according to wikipedia) in a photo from today's show. Thanks!

As far as I remember your views on abortion were different.

Abortion is not killing. I think that both women and men should be legally able to give up parental duties in the period in which the abortion can be performed on a woman without risk. If the potential father withdraws, but the woman decides to keep the pregnancy, she's on her own. If women's freedom is to be respected, also men should not be forced to live their mistakes - or being tricked into it. (That should make legally possible to get rid of the daddy once they father a nice child - now there's only the mantis option...)
Not to mention cases of pregnancy from rape (also no justification for abortion in Alabama), or its direct threat to the woman's health.

Abortion is not killing. 

Fair enough.

Which part of 'Backstop' do you not understand? 

You are typing into a document on your PC or into a box on a website etc. You look down at the keyboard, or out of the window at the sheep. When you look back at the screen the text you had written has not appeared. And it’s not in any other window you have open. Where did the text go?
