I’m glad the show ended though. Whedon would absolutely fuck the shit out of that in subsequent seasons.

Use a hand to bend it down.

Look at figure 2. While, by weight, only a fifth of the soybean is converted into oil, that’s where the absolute majority of money is made in oil. The defatted cake is a byproduct. It’s too cheap to justify planting soy.

To extract oil from soy, you need a solvent like hexane. Hexane is both toxic and expensive, so a big part of an oil extraction plant is hexane recovery and purification. Hexane boils at around 70C, so the cheapest way to recover hexane from the cake is to steam it. This also cooks the cake, browning it. The toasted cake has its proteins denatured in the process, which is terrible for their nutritional effect. But it also breaks the oligosaccharides down, which is good, because it can be deadly to animals, unlike the fattening sugars they turn into.

Key points: the cheapest way to make oil creates feed, whether it’s used or not. Instead of paying to send it to landfill, companies sell that incredibly cheap so that they avoid that cost, maybe even recoup some of the steam generation cost.

Let me put it this way: if overnight people weren’t eating oil, nobody would plant soy, because the money made selling it just for feed wouldn’t cover the costs to plant it.

Unfortunately I don’t have a scientific citation, but I do have 10 years of experience in soy processing, so… trust me bro?

Cheney said he thought it was a quail or something like that.

Happy pills season

Who is eating it? We’re drinking it. Soy is mostly grown for oil. The solids are used to enrich feed because it’s a protein rich, cheap, by-product. But there are many alternatives for feed. No one is planting soy for pasture.

Not just ranching, farming too (particularly soy). With the ongoing tariff war and China’s demand for soy shifting away from the USA, this is poised to become an even bigger issue.

Another myth: the Amazon soil is rich and fertile. In reality, the forest fertilizes itself. When it is cleared, the mostly sandy soil gets depleted very fast, prompting more fires to clear new land.

Ah, yes, the three sexualities.

I wouldn’t. Still, you cannot call Texan Republicans a few with a straight face.

What did it stand for?

It was GLS way back when.

I trust this source. Never pulled anything out of their ass that was false.

Would you say life in Cuba is hard because of the government or the embargo?

Thanks.

Don’t believe this person, they’ve clearly lost their mind.

One: yes, that’s a perfectly suitable topic for this community.

Two: what’s a chud?

– Old woman!
– Man!
– I’m sorry, man…
– I’m thirty seven!

I’m sure it’s hilarious in the original ancient Greek.

Humans.

To be fair, I was having a perfectly non horny day until I saw that image.
