Bruh was a deer in his past life

I’ve told mine to be really direct; mean spirited almost, and it helps. It still precedes a bunch of stuff with ‘here is the straight up answer’ but it’s less icky about boot licking.

I’m not an american, thankfully

The dust bowl stretched as far north as Palliser’s triangle.

I’ve dug pits near Selkirk MB, and average topsoil depth in that area is 20 cm, and the soils are regosolic (meaning it’s topsoil over top of regolith, rather than having a transitional horizon) in most farmers fields.

Go off into the bush 200 m away, and the soil there, that had the exact same pedogenic conditions has the 60 cm of Ah horizon (black topsoil), super strong structure, a fully developed B horizon (that transition horizon I mentioned earlier) and then the C (regolith).

This is all because the area lost a foot of topsoil during the 30s, and what was left was poorly managed - conventional tillage for decades - which has caused plow erosion of the B horizon and admixing of the poorer subsoil horizons into the A horizon.

This erosion of the B happens because in a conventional tillage system, you lose a few mm of soil each year off the top, yet your plow depth settings don’t change because you still need that 30 cm or whatever it is to grow your crops.

We would still have lobbyists telling politicians that trains are a terrible idea

Anon accidently envisions a solarpunk-esque lifestyle

Masonry glue? The clear stuff maybe? They use it I think in making soil monoliths. You could also try the 50:50 mix of white glue and water that is used in moniliths

Was the crowbar enough leverage to get the job done? You could have used ratchet boomers maybe.

I don’t think it diminishes them. If anything, it highlights how little we understand about the disorders, psychology, and treatment of mental health.

I’ve got ADHD and anxiety, yet ADHD meds turned me into a zombie. Dealing with the anxiety with medication made my ADHD symptoms much more manageable. I’ll still forget my car keys every time I leave the house, but I no longer have days where I lose them 5 times in a day, or spend 30 minutes looking for them. I can also focus on a task for more than 20 minutes at a time without needing a break or getting totally distracted.

Remember, memes are generally meant to be light-hearted, or offer quirky perspectives. I’m not trying to put anyone down here.

Unrelated, but those Russian peat samplers they show in the picture SUCK ASS to work with.

You punch them into the peat using your body weight. You turn it exactly 180 degrees, then you pull it up, fighting the whole time with grip and peat suction. If you turn 179 degrees or 181 degrees, you miss the slot for the fin that you created on the way down and now have to pull 10x harder.

It only takes 50 cm bites, and you need 50 cm increments to describe the peat profile. The deepest peat I dug was 780 cm.

If you push it into the underlying mineral soil, it gets stuck, and you need 2 or more people to help pull. We once devised a system of ratchet straps to help pull it up and that barely worked.

Oh and the sampler and it’s extensions are heavy as fuck, and the threads jam up. Now carry this god forsaken torture device though kilometers of spongey peat hummocks…

TV software is fucking abysmal. Its laggy, full of bloat and as you point out, their wifi capabilities are shit. I even have the connection/speed issue right now with one of my older TVs.

Tetanus resistance lasts 10 years. Make sure you’re up to date, or you can die an agonizing death which they can do nothing about.

this could be you!

I know the song but I was thinking it was a Shane reference

Try introducing her as your roommate lol

And yet people insist the ivory bill isnt extinct

The sink, like a civilized man

cries in pedologists

I don’t get the phone part

This whole album is about that. It’s totally fucked
