Ok Gaylord…

…or “mandatory fun” as it came to be known around my work place.

Which…I get it…but I always appreciated the distractions from work…

The main reason I mentioned the photos is because it adds authenticity if you can show you actually have the book (in lieu of being a “verified purchaser”)

Can you post a review even though I assume you won’t be a “verified purchaser”? That’s what I’d try. I’d add the circumstances I received it under and include photos of the oddities you noted.

To someone who lives on a farm, so do you.

It’s not black and white though; saying fields are biodiverse is an erroneous simplification.

Fields can be biodiverse, but pushing for increased production inherently drives that down. Big ag will make the field deadly to anything other than the target crop to make conditions most favorable to that crop.

We grow subsistence levels of rice each year and choose methods that promote biodiversity. Our paddies and surrounding areas are host to all sorts of life; fish, frogs, snails, crabs, all that attract their own predictors. But even something that seems like table stakes such as using a combine to harvest instead of harvesting by hand is destructive to the ecosystem of the paddy.

…but then imagine if all the rice in the world was harvested by hand instead of by machine. Would it even be productive enough to supply the world? It’s unimaginably more time consuming.

Wait.

Are you saying cisgender women can be lesbians too?

Not if the ag industry has anything to say about it, though…

That’s why you gotta let the fuel dry out in the sun first

…and just think how long we could power the AI datacenters from the energy harvested making the ash 🤩

“Hazelnut spread”

Evergreen headline…

…and secret whiskey stashes…

Hot.

One of the most sensible things I’ve seen from the administration.

Kinda surprised Trump was OK with it tbh…

“The Russians used a durian”…

Two South Florida police officers claim Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s recent action thriller “The Rip” used too many real-life details in its fictionalized narrative, causing harm to the officers’ personal and professional reputations, according to a defamation lawsuit.

From m-w.com (emphasis mine):

the act of communicating false statements about a person that injure the reputation of that person

Now I wish I had a son…
