Hello,

I am attempting to raise as much of my family's diet on food we raise ourself on our family farm. We grow corn and if we wanted to we could store an infinite amount of ground corn that falls out of our machinery every year.

We already have chickens for eggs and meat. Space is not an issue.

What animal should we get that can be fed with corn and grass to supplement our chicken flock? I'm willing to entertain all warm blooded options.

Because "sterile" exotics often have a seed production rate at >0% in the best scenarios.
Why introduce an invasive species into the environment when there are plenty of natives that will do the trick? Stop being so lax with noxious weed contamination risks.

I drive a prius as my main farm vehicle and for my factory job. With fold down seats I haven't had any issues with hauling stuff.

If I'm doing a project that requires 4x8 sheets or 12' long boards I get them delivered or I rent a truck.

Hello,

I recently had a coworker mention, " You can't just smash Japanese beetles because it will only attract more through a pheromone they release when dying."

Is this actually a thing or is he misremembering some old gossip's tale?

Thanks, DrHugsyMcFur

Forget your "dying clean" baloney. Stop fetishizing a civil war.

I've got things I want to do in the coming years that don't involve dying to some right wing death squad or dysentery.

What's management supposed to do? Hang a sign?

People who play phone speakers in public can't read!

Have you ever had a job? Hardly anyone visits the office bathroom for a 45 min long dump.

1a. Trust me, my shits are violent aggressive.

1b. I'll take your advice and whisper my complaints through the door crack. Maintaining eye contact the whole time. We'll even have a firm handshake afterwards.

  1. I'm trying to raise my elo in LiChess. I'm not breaking 1100 while also translating my neighboring stall's latin ballad.

The work bathroom is currently a warzone, on their phone speakers people like to play music, play games at full blast, and one guy likes to chill to ambient rainforest. What song can I play to passive aggressively make it known that I don't want to listen to their tik tok feeds while I work out my demons?

It happens a lot less when you don't cramp billions of animals in extremely close quarters

Does Raft require co-op to be fun?

I recently picked up The Forest and I found that The Forest is tough to enjoy without co-op because of enemy difficulty.

Does Raft suffer from this?

Their entire Luddite mindset is intended to keep their members tied to the church.

They can use gas and kerosene to power engines other than ones that allow them to travel at reasonable speeds. They can use any electric device unless it's attached to the grid.

Their entire cult is devoted to maintaining their bishop's creepy control over their members lives.

Lol, Mr. Duncan does provide a very entertaining pop-history podcast don't get me wrong, but please don't go quoting him as a reference.

I think you and I are arguing two different things, your source lumps together all the deaths during the Revolution, including Reactionary military actions while I am arguing specifically that very few people of the 3rd estate were killed extra judicially as a method of "terror" by the guillotine.

Best of luck in your slow road to fascism. I hope you succeed in improving your lot with non-violent means. Maybe if the revolutionaries asked nicely Louis would've just enacted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen voluntarily.

Do you have a source for that claim? As far as I know most of the people guillotined were emigres or members of the upper class who went against the prevailing political party at the time.

Many commoners did die in the Revolution, but they mostly died in the infernal columns or similar military actions in the Vendee region and other reactionary uprisings.

I can see that this is super funny to you, but some people with chronic allergies can't enjoy their vacations or go about their lives because inconsiderate people demand to bring their pets to public areas such as hotels or stores.

Can dolphins or whales live in fresh water?

They don't need to breathe in water so assuming they have enough prey I don't see why the water's saltinity affects them.

But then why don't we have dolphins playing in the Mississippi river?

I canned a few cups of apples this fall. Now that I pull the apples out for some baking, i find that my apples are just barely more firm than applesauce.

Does anyone have any tips on keeping apples firm after canning?

Attempting to can apples for the first time and I am pretty confident that I filled the can up to the 1/2" point before the headspace starts. But after I pulled them out of the canner I have a good 1" of only liquid that the apples are floating on.

Did I do something wrong?

Is there a good way to really pack apples into the can before they go into the canner to avoid this wasted space?
