Ngl, I would've done the same thing.

As if atmospheric nitrogen deposition wasn't enough of a problem...

Looks amazing! I bet this took ages to render.

It might, but I think engineering plants to be drought resistant is still a long way off. There's more to going from C3 to C4 than just stomatal function, like the typical Kranz anatomy of a C4 plant and the extra biochemical steps in their carbon fixation. Then again, some common crops (like corn) are already C4 plants, so it could be possible to make them even more drought resistant. I just don't know how they'll ever improve the yield of crops under drought stress, even if they can survive it.

Edit: that doesn't mean it isn't worth looking into, of course.

I knew a guy named Michael back in high school. He did in fact not stand up when the teacher called another student's name. He also never stood up when the teachers asked him too, because Michael was in a fucking wheelchair.

Makes me wonder about which crimes big shrimp has committed.

What kind of devious creature is this? Surely, it must be plotting something in its sleep.

Something like this would probably take me forever to make, nice Godzilla dude! (Or Dudette)

I think this is a great discovery, but I don't know if it's the massive breakthrough the article makes it up to be. Improved water efficiency is great and could cut irrigation costs (if the farmer changes their irrigation method accordingly), but if there's not enough water in the first place I doubt an improved water use efficiency will do much. Still pretty nice though.

The best thing about caving is that you don't have to do it. Still, sucks for the guy, his family and his friends.

Losing your house is great for reconnecting with nature I guess
