On Man Made Asstoorhoids...
from Google AI:
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz following the US-Israel-Iran conflict in early 2026 has triggered a global fertilizer crisis, with roughly 30% of global urea and nitrogen exports restricted. As of April 2026, over 220,000 tons of nitrogen fertilizer are stranded daily, pushing up prices by over 30%. This impacts essential crop yields—including maize and rice—at the height of spring planting, threatening global food security.
Key Impacts of the Nitrogen Crisis:
The Fertilizer-Fuel Link
- Stranded Supplies: Over 1 million metric tons of nitrogen fertilizer are trapped in the Gulf.
- Price Shock: Nitrogen-rich urea prices have surged over 30%, increasing food production costs worldwide.
- Production Halt: Major producers are declaring force majeure, reducing global supply and increasing the likelihood of long-term shortages.
- Global Exposure: Developing countries in Asia and South America are most affected, with countries like the Philippines facing risks to their agricultural sectors, says the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
- Food Insecurity: The inability of farmers to access or afford fertilizer to fertilize crops is expected to result in significantly reduced crop yields in the coming months.
Nitrogen fertilizers are produced using natural gas. The crisis in the Gulf has caused both a scarcity of fertilizer products and a rise in energy costs, creating a "perfect storm" for agricultural production, notes Adam Hanieh. Fertilizer manufacturers, unable to ship their products, face operational shutdowns.Impact on Food ProductionAccording to War on the Rocks, the interruption of urea shipments occurs during critical planting times, threatening the maximum yields of crops like corn, wheat, and rice. Many farmers may reduce fertilizer usage or skip the planting season, creating a lingering effect on food availability.Long-Term ConsequencesExperts warn that the disruption could lead to prolonged food shortages and higher food prices, as stated in UN News. Even if the blockade ends, the time needed to restart production and restore supply chains will likely lead to a "new normal" of elevated prices, according to Reddit and The Verge.

\\I've never programmed with qubits. Have you? Should you? Why, or why not?
Analog computing proved itself uneffective long ago.
But well, you know my idea how it can be turned back into mainstream again. ;-)
No, analog computing is how nature/ biology work fundamentally. It's how evolution has always worked. Gathering one analog solution at a time. With a memory of each analog protein, regulatory signal, and structural based solution stored in a quantum double-helical box, where it is accessed (transcription-translation) in a chemical quantum code (ATGC)...
Google AI:
ATGC (Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine) in DNA are called nitrogenous bases or simply bases. They are the building blocks of the DNA genetic code and are attached to a sugar-phosphate backbone to form nucleotides.
A (Adenine): Pairs with T (Thymine).
T (Thymine): Pairs with A (Adenine).
G (Guanine): Pairs with C (Cytosine).
C (Cytosine): Pairs with G (Guanine).
They are categorized into two types: purines (A and G) and pyrimidines (T and C).
:P
\\No, analog computing is how nature/ biology work fundamentally.
So-called quantum computing it's analog computing by definition.
Yawn.
Bio-computing -- we freakingly dunno how to do it, yet.
Buzzwording. Yawn.
But, you are free to waste your pension funds and your kids savings on it...
cause, it sauw quauntumn.
E-le-ctro-lites... they are quantum too.
Bio-computing merely customizes an analog substrate for every analog programming solution.
DNA consists of two anti-parallel strands forming a double helix, featuring a backbone of alternating phosphate groups and the five-carbon sugar 2-deoxyribose. The "rungs" consist of nitrogenous base pairs: Adenine (A) with Thymine (T), and Guanine (G) with Cytosine (C), joined by hydrogen bonds, creating the genetic code.
Key Components of DNA Structure:
Sugar Component: The sugar is 2-deoxyribose, a pentose (five-carbon) sugar. It is termed "deoxy" because it lacks an oxygen atom on the 2' carbon compared to the ribose sugar found in RNA.
Nucleobases (GCTA):
Purines: Adenine (A) and Guanine (G).
Pyrimidines: Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T).
Base Pairing: A pairs with T (two hydrogen bonds), and G pairs with C (three hydrogen bonds), forming the structural stability of the helix.
Backbone: The alternating sugar and phosphate groups are linked by phosphodiester bonds, with the nitrogenous bases attached to each sugar.
Nucleotide Structure: Each nucleotide is composed of one sugar (deoxyribose), one phosphate group, and one base (A, T, C, or G).
For in-depth studies on how sugars interact with nucleobases, research on Glucose-nucleobase pairs within DNA (PMC - NIH) and the structure of nucleotide sugars from BOC Sciences provides details on their chemical interactions.
They're also "handed":
DNA is a right-handed, antiparallel double helix featuring G-C and A-T base pairs. The backbone consists of deoxyribose sugars and phosphate groups, with strands running in opposite 5′ to 3′ directions. The structure (B-DNA) is a stable, twisted ladder with roughly 10.5 base pairs per turn.
DNA Structure Highlights
Nucleobases (GCTA): Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C) (3 hydrogen bonds) and Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) (2 hydrogen bonds).
Sugar-Phosphate Backbone: The sugar is deoxyribose. It is a 5-carbon (pentose) sugar that lacks an oxygen atom on the carbon compared to ribose. The backbone links 5′ carbon to 3′ carbon.
Handedness: The most common biological form, B-DNA, is a right-handed helix. While A- and B-DNA are right-handed, Z-DNA is a less common left-handed form, per and http://earth.callutheran.edu/Academic_Programs/Departments/BioDev/omm/bdna_white1/frames/bdnatxt.htm.
Antiparallel Strands: The two polynucleotide strands run in opposite directions ( and ) and are parallel in orientation but opposite in chemical directionality.
Symmetry. Like all solutions in Physics. (another simile in multis)
Sure we do. Symmetrically.
Nitrogenous bases attached to sugar structures.....
Google AI:
Symmetry is a balanced, proportional similarity where an object remains unchanged after operations like reflection, rotation, or translation. Key types include reflectional (mirror image), rotational (turns), and translational (shifting). It serves as a foundational principle across disciplines, defining structural harmony in math, physics, biology, and chemistry
Simile in multis. ;p
