Field Theory: The Force will be with…, in reply to DexterX,
1000n mg of caffine could kill you.
1000mg? ie 1g? At somewhere around 150mg of caffeine in a cup of filter coffee, that's 6 cups. Can't be right, you'd be dead right now. Wiki suggests that 2g of caffeine has led to hospitalizations, though. I don't think going off the toxic dose is especially safe reasoning. It could still be highly dangerous well short of that.
I was joking, btw. 8 cups is a lot of coffee to drink in a short period of time, but you'd notice if you were feeling unwell. If I drank that much, I'd probably be sick, but my tolerance is down from not drinking plunger coffee, which is pretty much the strongest form.
It's a bit scary to think that one cup's worth of caffeine is the median lethal dose for a 1kg rat.

Holy shit man. That's bordering on dangerous dosing!

Dare we suggest that he tackle the biggest site in, err, Kiwi blogging?
That would involve moving from Lawful Neutral to Chaotic Evil!. Too much! Or did you mean Kiwiblog, mere Lawful Evil, diabolical rather than demonic?

Yes , there is a website and a facebook page, but FG deliberately left them out of the discussion, mainly for self-protection (not in respect of anyone on here).
That's a pity.
FG chose to respond here because he thought there were likely more with a somewhat jaundiced view here.
But this place is chock-full of greenies who fully support permaculture ideals! If you're going to get disagreement it will be in the detail, rather than the basic ideas.

but how many times do you need to see someone in a gorilla suit going "GARARAGH"?
He was talking! You can distinctly hear him saying "Goodbye Princess" at the end of Empire.

Even teams of multi-disciplinary analysers could not arrive at the same view as the view held by someone inside the farm “organism”.
I'm so going to use that when someone says my garden is full of weeds.

What kind of mad rash fool doesn't own gumboots? Even my 3 year old owns gumboots.
