Yes, there has been a lot written. And there is no evidence.
>but I would ask you to try staying away from processed foods and sugar for a few weeks and see if you feel better. It is an easy experiment to do.
95%+ of the food I eat comes from my property. There's nothing processed to cut out. I feel no different than I did when I was eating little ceasars pizza and coke every day for a year. This "experiment" is not an actual experiment, and would not support the claim in question even if it were.
There is no evidence to support this sort of chemtrail level conspiracy theory nonsense.
I was explaining what monads are. You have read some of the weird misconceptions about haskell and monads and are now repeating them.
No, haskell's type system does, not its purity.
>Given that all user input/state already has to be handled carefully (for ex: with monads)
What? Monads are not some mythical beast, there is nothing "handled carefully" about it. A monad is just a general interface.
"Many" means many, not all.
That is the same. Both are absolutely terrible at consistency. They both have very clear and obvious "protected" groups who can violate the rules with impunity.
Yes. And that does not matter at all, which is what I said.
>The burden of proof is on you to prove that virtually all gardeners have sprinklers (the automated ones, anyway... we were discussing automated irrigation systems).
You said they don't have irrigation systems, not that they aren't automatic.
>And even in that case, you need to get rid of the nitrogen build up somehow: either frequent water changes, or bio-filtration (which is a form of aquaponics).
Trying to pretend normal aquatic plants existing in a normal pond is the same as your aquaponics system, and thus your system "wins" is disingenuous in the extreme.
>Sure, it's cheaper when you have organic waste available for free in a convenient fashion (i.e. not something you have to haul from your city's waste center).
How is hauling it from your city's waste center more expensive than your $500 setup exactly? A truck rental is $20.
>If you want to grow fish and veggies in your backyard, aquaponics really is the best choice.
For some people it may be, but this insistence on making unsupported sweeping claims reeks of snakeoil salesmen. I grow fish and veggies. It costs me $0. How would your system be better?
Yes, of course fish is the actual difference. Although you can obviously just stock a pond with fish anyways.
>Also, your irrigation system must be fine-tuned to deliver just enough water to the plants you are growing, so it doesn't drain to other plants that you did not have any intention of watering.
No it doesn't. Even in drought areas the amount of water needed to water a garden is negligible as long as you don't make the mistake of leaving it bare earth.
>In any case, this is a moot point, because most gardeners do not have irrigation systems
Virtually all of them do, they are called sprinklers.
>And if you're just starting out, there is no guarantee you will have good soil
That's true, especially in modern subdivisions where they scrape off the top soil, sell it, and then back fill with clay excavated for the basement, leaving you with no soil and a thin layer of sod that needs constant watering to survive. But I think it is still cheaper to just do a normal garden. All you need is some organic waste to pile up in layers, no need to try to fix the clay below, just ignore it: http://organicgardening.about.com/od/startinganorganicgarden...
That is very hard to believe consider the amount of dishonest rhetoric on display.
>I said that if you are engaged in bad faith, and if you will persist in doing so, you need to GTFO
You did not. You said if I continue I need to GTFO. I am not engaging in bad faith, I am being honest and clear, and you are respond with ridiculous strawman attacks.
>If you're in the bay area, I'll buy you a beer (or social equivalent).
I'm in a very different bay area than the one I assume you refer to. I do not see any reason why text is a problem. You simply need to read the words I write and respond to that, rather than read then, make up an imaginary version of me, give that imaginary version of me a bunch of other opinions you don't like, and then respond to those.
