Oh, I've been cutting the visible mold off for years. Same applies to things like jam (jelly). Spoon out the mouldy bit, then crack on.

Should I be ded?

That's the game for them.

Many years ago an acquaintance of mine was a mechanic for a Formula 1 team owned by Bernie Ecclestone (Brabham F1 team for those in the know).

Bernie later went on to control the sport and remains a multi-billionaire to this day due to his somewhat shady business dealings.

Anyway, there was a race weekend at Monaco where behind the scenes Bernie was doing a deal with someone or other to sell a used Ferrari. The story goes that he colluded with Flavio Briatore (another shady F1 team owner) to manipulate the price of the car to screw the potential buyer out of a measly £5k or so.

The point was never the money, it was fucking over the other guy. You don't get to accumulate such wealth without being a raging psycho/sociopath with the morals of a feral cat.

Why can't they use genetic engineering to make a tree that can absorb like 100x more CO2 than any other tree? Like, are they even trying?
