Don’t let the other nurses bully you

I heard about this on a lib podcast my friends listen to

As someone with highly allergenic cum that has been compared to venom and acid, I find this all very offensive

Lots of risks and rewards in agriculture!

Water is the most important thing for agriculture. Theoretically we can make it out of seawater, it’s just prohibitively costly for energy and money. As energy gets cheaper or our use becomes more efficient, getting water to farmland becomes more predictable and consistent.

Soil is the next most important thing. It’s depleting at a very scary rate and that NEEDS to be addressed. As soil breaks down it releases huge amounts of (unaccounted for) CO2. But building soil also draws carbon from the air - it’s actually a way faster and more effective carbon sink than trees. Soil (and the infinity of microbial life it contains) has the ability to save us from climate change. It’s magical stuff, one of my favourite substances. Seriously, read some pop science about soil it really is incredible.

Crop choice and varieties chosen will shift and change. The Cavendish banana will probably die/go extinct. Other clones will probably suffer the same fate. Genetic bottlenecking of popular fruits and vegetables isn’t going anywhere

I buy it in bags at my local giant mega hardware store (Bunnings). It’s actually hydrophobic, making them almost impossible to water from above (i.e. rain). Perfect for my water-shy succies

It’s a remnant from a previous housemate who hot glued hundreds of bottle caps onto the table (a repurposed giant cable spool in a previous life). It works ok but then stuff falls into the gaps and it’s less ok

That soil one with Woody Harrelson is good but even it has moments where I’m like uhh uhh don’t overplay your hand guys

It’s funny and well written with satisfying narrative arcs and interesting scifi concepts. Rick knows how much of a shit head he is and is semi-regularly shown to be on the verge of suicide.
