I'm a tenth child and my mom did it of her own volition. It was like being a dog that nobody wanted to take care of.
Windy.com has some modes which can view the smoke plume pretty well.
Ive spread a bunch of seeds in certain areas and let grow what will. I only pull certain plants which I've identified as space hogs (bittersweet.) Not all the plants that come up are native I am sure, but the bugs don't seem to notice. My whole philosophy is to do less work and let the plants do what plants do.
The less I do to the yard, the better it looks to me. I like having some areas mowed but I like having stuff live in it even better.
A strong local community can fill all the unmet needs we have been trying in vain to cram into the welfare systems of nation states.
Perhaps the paradigm of nation states isn’t suitable to our climate future.
Farmers love complaining despite the fact that a farmers job is nothing like it was before mechanization. We can't continue farming like we do, it relies too heavily on the fossil fuel industry and ignores too much the environment it depends on. However, agricultural science is so far ahead of where it was 150 years ago that it is almost unbelievable. Very few people have to farm to support our needs (especially if we stopped consuming so much meat.) You will also never be able to convince a person like me that there not being enough laborers to send them to war is a real problem.
Besides capitalism being inherently inefficient, it incentivizes holders of capital to extract maximum monetary value from laborers. This means that, as capitalism progresses, more and more jobs exist for the sole purpose of enriching the owners of capital. If every job was a meaningful one, we could support everyone on the planet without everyone doing labor.
Most jobs are pointless ones, we can get by with far fewer laborers than we currently have. Implement a UBI and watch how many people quit and never work again.
Butthole widening diet.
Yo, are we getting some motherfucking beans over here?
Did a bit of rewiring to remove a bypass to an old light socket with exposed live pre-romex wiring. Probably left a few of my own no-nos for future home owners. Forgot to take pictures of the old wiring, but maybe thats for the best, it had been running a freezer for many years. You could just touch it at any time and zap yourself.
1000+ hours is when you can ride the rake around like a witch.
Rice with horse radish, two pork chops seasoned with curry powder and cooked with mushrooms in butter and olive oil and topped with cottage cheese and hot sauce. Pretty good after not having eaten all day.
My oldest sister wanted to do the same. My brother in law got a vasectomy in secret after the 7th. Everything your dad said is exactly true.
Edit: I don't mean to imply that some women aren't forced into the position of having more kids than they want. But usually having a lot of kids requires two mentally unwell religious fundamentalists.
