Here's a paper discussing the issue.
Corn to teosintes GMO contamination is also huge issue especially in southern states.
20+ years after a failed introduction of GMO RR wheat, they are still finding it in fields.

A form of sexual dimorphism. Honestly compared to real examples like the angler fish it's not even that weird.
The so called terminator gene was developed in and to attempt to limit the spread of GMO genes into the wild populations. It was a USDA-ARS program. Not their best work but it would have prevented today's clusterfuck of contamination.
Where on the plant are the leaves yellowing?
My first guess would be transplant shock. When the roots are damaged the plant has heal them. The plant needs to uptake nutrients to repair the cells and grow new tissues. The problem is the roots are damaged and plant struggles to pull nutrients from the soil. So the plant moves mobile nutrients (like Nitrogen) from older leaves to the new growth.
The solution is usually to give the plant some fertilizer and wait a few weeks.
Worst book....
Bartleby, the Scrivener.
Written by Herman Melville, famously known as the author of "Moby Dick".
Which is of course second worst book.
I tried listening to this one on an audiobook. 2 hours into it and I never detected a plot.
He was truly a terrible character. I got fed up with the asshat and never finished it.
I left out the hosting part for just that reason. The company has to activately do something to gain the liability. Right now the big social media companies are deliberately prioritizing harmful information to maximize engagement and generate money.
As for enforcement hosters have had to develop protocols for removal of illegal content since the very beginning. Its still out there and can be found, but laws and mostly due diligence from hosters, makes it more difficult to find. Its the reason Lemmy is not full of illegal pics etc. The hosters are actively removing it and banning accounts that publish it.
Those protocols could be modified to include obvious misinformation bots etc. Think about the number of studies that have shown that just a few accounts are the source of the majority of harmful misinformation on social media.
Of course any reporting system needs to be protected from abuse. The DMCA takedown abusers are a great example of why this is needed.
Its a very simple fix with a few law changes.
The act of promoting or curating user submitted data makes the company strictly liable for any damages done by the content.
The deliberate spreading of harmful false information makes the hosting company liable for damages.
This would bankrupt Facebook, Twitter, etc within 6 months.
Copper bottom- copper does have a much higher heat transferance rate than stainless. Around 20x for pure copper. However this is reduced by alloys and the combination of steel layers. The advantage of copper bottom is on a shitty stovetop, the faster heat distribution compensates for a poor heating source. In a commercial kitchen with good heating source, copper bottoms lower durability loses out. The lining is prone to bubbling, separating, and warping under rapid heat changes.
Personally I use my cast iron skillets completely against the "rules". I made spaghetti sauces in them for dinner last night. I usually end up stripping the seasoning every few months but I don't care. It takes 20 minutes to do 2 layers of a stovetop seasoning. I have used the same set for over 30 years now.
First off generally these diseases are limited by environmental conditions and available vectors. So starting with clean seed/stock can permanently eliminate the need to worry about many of the diseases. A good example of this is SQMV. It's spread mostly by the spotted cucumber beetles. These are only found in some states of the U.S. and Mexico.
As for how to deal with the disease depends completely on the pathogen. You can clean up many diseases by proper sanitation and crop rotation techniques. Historically leaving a field fallow was a method to reduce disease pressure.
Others are not so easy to get rid of. For example, Fusarium species can persist in the soil for up to 30 years. Once you get it, you are not getting rid of it. It's such a large issue that commercial growers in highly infected regions have gone to grafting resistant rootstock of a different species.
My wife has a couple graduate degrees on this subject. This is one that I got to be the unwilling editor on her papers for.
Its a lack of understanding how students need to learn the information: memorization by usage versus memorization by rote.
Memorization by rote: This is the old school method of teaching. You memorize random facts figures with no context or usage. Its a bit of standalone information that is often not useful. Memorization by rote leads to kids that can say all of the letters but not recognize the symbols or associated them with sounds and words.
Memorization by usage: This is a much more effective method to teach. Its also much harder. This requires teaching the concepts and systems and linking the information together. You memorize the same information by repeated usage but it's in context. It takes a ton more skill to teach this way because you have to engage the student through the entire process, repeatedly.
