Reply to Rising Temperatures Due to Climate Change Will Reduce Coffee Production Globally, Study Suggests by chrisdh79
The cheaper, more bitter robusto bean (really a fruit pit) is more tolerant of varied growing conditions than the mellower, more expensive Arabica. From what I understand there is significant research going on to develop a variety that marries the flavor profile of Arabica with the hardiness of robusto. I hope it works.

45% are considered unsafe?

Considering mindfulness meditation predates bmt by millennia I don't think so.

A Zen practioner I knew would travel 2 hours a couple of times a week on her own dime to teach mediation to prisoners at a state prison. This was entirely selfless to help prisoners keep calm and also (hopefully) control outbursts.
Even though prisoners wanted the opportunity it took her a very long time of advocating to do this. The Christian chaplain and warden didn't want Buddhist influence in the prison.

Reply to Knowing we like a song takes only seconds of listening, new psychology research finds by thebelsnickle1991
What about those songs that we don't appreciate in the first listen, but become one of our favorites over time? I can't be the only one this happens to. It may not be the catchiest, but it becomes a frequently played piece. For me it doesn't happen much with pop songs that are meant to catch you immediately, but definitely with songs from shows and film.

Wonderful. Meanwhile it matters not to the many issues we face on Earth. Navel-gazing at its finest.

Sounds like it might be promising with a little genetic tweaking to increase yield.
