Using bio-tech(aka: genetically modified bacteria) brazilian scientists are able to mass produce fertilizers easily.

This could, quite literally, save millions of lives from starvation created by the war between U.S./Israel and Iran.

Posted by peq42 on Wednesday February 18, 2026 @10:37PM
from the self-post dept.

I've been looking for alternatives to discord recently, but its been kinda hard.

and how is 19 articles in 49 days(1 every ~2.5 days) with relevant content a bad thing? Also, didn't ask anyone to write for me, just: if you dislike it, give constructive criticism and maybe suggestions
Re:Alternatives to Google Products – Updated on Saturday September 07, 2024 @07:23PM (#41477072)
Kinda sad about some of the comments, with few suggesting new additions or improvements.

Either way, added a couple more and am looking around for more things to add.
