We make too much of our own sugar for that. Sugarcane and sugarbeet combined we're the world's largest sugar manufacturer.

I’m convinced corn is a massive scam

Yeah. Slavery here was mostly to keep the colonial sugar cane industry going. This isn't news to any brazilian. We learn that in elementary school.
It should have been pointed out somewhere in this thread tho

Chatgpt might be able to tell an exciting game but that’s bc of volume of articles in it’s training data saying “so exciting, what a game” after the fact and only up until 2021. Perhaps it developed an understanding somewhere in those billions of parameters, or perhaps it is only regurgitated human opinion.

Actually, not even soybeans are produced on Amazonian deforested areas in significant quantities (around 5% of the total yield I think).
Instead, the bulk of soybean production is done on the tropical savanna region of Brazil (the so called "Cerrado").

Also, the soil are quite bad in the areas covered by the Amazon forest (kind counter intuitive given the massive forest on top of it, but it is. The soil is too acid for soy and most comercial crops.)
You can see how the map of soybean production yields above correlates with the Cerrado area:
The real villains of Amazonian deforestation are:
1 - Wood extraction
2 - Illegal mining (mostly surface gold mining, one of few areas in the world left where gold can be mined manually with low technical knowledge).
3 - Cattle raising, this single one being responsible for 65% of all mapped deforested area.

Everyone talking about games which should be higher/lower but all I'm seeing is "New England being in the Superbowl has a dramatic increase in the excitement of the game"

Does a head count include the individuals who are expecting parents??? Does it include the individuals who just had kids and got fired??? It's a massive number of illegal firings Google came out and said that they miscalculated severances most likely trying to stay within the legal limits of firing paternity workers. Google do evil

Unfortunately, Brazil relies heavily on imported fertilizer. The future will not be kind to Brazilian agriculture.

You could consider increasing the weight of Q4/OT. Pats panthers was especially exciting toward the end, and great games in general have great fourth quarters.

Idk why there are posts like these. What ifs. Give lebron his due and that's that. I'm not a lebron fan but he did put up the numbers. He'll never be in my top 5 tho just like Kareem is not and they're 1-2 top scorers.

What's crazy is that sugar production from 75 has quadruped, yet population only doubled.
