You can’t do corn every year. Corn farmers need to rotate and the primary crop is soy since it replenishes the nutrients corn needs and it is easy and you can sell it (or could)

What is wrong with soy? It is great at restoring nutrients in soil. It is full of protein. It is a great meat alternative…

You can’t grow corn every year. It depletes the soil of nutrients. We grow soy because 1) it restores soil nutrients 2) it is very easy to plant and harvest 3) it can grow almost anywhere in the US 4) we had a buyer which was china using it as animal feed.

I don’t know that there is another good cash crop we can use for crop rotation.

I doubt it. We plant soy beans as part of crop rotation, but don’t actually consume them. We sold them primarily to china to use as feed for animals since china primarily uses its soy beans to feed its population. Due to the trade war, china is purchasing soy from other countries. This means every other year, farmers will not have income unless either the US consumes a lot more soybeans or all the farmers agree to use a different crop rotation that has value. But soy beans are easy to plant, do a great job enriching soil, and can grow in most climates in the us.

And in my library I actually know what version I have not some 2018 “remix”.

Same with my movie library. I can have theatrical and directors or unrated extended version.

Last year’s murder rate in Birmingham was caused by a single person known as the enforcer for a gang. He was finally caught and is being charged with 23 murders over an 18 month period! There are quite a few more he is suspected of!

Edit: fixed autocorrect changing murders to borders and nurses

Except we can barely afford the bread and circuses right now. This is true of people like me that 5 years ago thought they were doing really well…

Why did Ohio state accept that invitation?

It is a lack of empathy and personal responsibility. They aren’t happy with their life so they must either 1) blame it on someone else 2) hurt someone else so they feel they are doing better (everything is relative).

They literally cannot fathom that helping someone else doesn’t make you worse off, even if that person is now doing better.

I expect in a patch release that nothing has changed and I can blindly update getting minor bug fixes and security fixes. In a minor release I expect to review the changes for configuration changes or any minor UI changes. For a major release I expect to read docs on how to upgrade and prepare backups and downtime.

Evolution does.

But it isn’t that hard to create a signal account with the name of someone high in the US ranks and send a request to these people. They are too dumb to actually validate the key of the person.

Encryption can’t handle when the encrypt with a foe’s key and send that for the message.

It would be one thing if we were debating different ways to solve health care, education, incarceration, mental health, homelessness, wealth inequality, or something else.

While I personally think the right is wrong in their solutions I’d be happy to debate them.

But the right isn’t talking about these issues or solutions for them. You can’t have a debate when you’re talking about two completely different things.

This is great!

Even if they replant, that doesn’t undue the ecological harm. Look at what happened when palm oil started to show up in everything. They cut down all the natural habitat (rain forests with lots of old growth!) and planted tons of palm trees. It killed all the wildlife, but to an uninformed person, it still “looked” like nature. And the fact that they were replanted (so it wasn’t just stripped bare) was a facade that made it not seem bad.

I’ll be seeing Arkona again in < two weeks!

As someone who lives in an ex-industrial city (Birmingham Alabama), I’ve always been worried about air pollution and tainted soil (there are superfund sites nearby). I feel like every thing would have to be above ground and covered. That seems like a lot of work. Should I be worried?
