So you need two cement trucks.

Your great uncle used to be a farmer. Now he’s a parasite on other farmers as a landlord.

Who owns farms: overwhelmingly it’s inherited wealth in trust to avoid paying taxes and run by incorporated entities.

Are the workers being adequately compensated… The answer changes depending on what color your skin is and where you were born.

Gotta add on another level.

Zoning laws and HOA’s give larger construction companies a significant competitive advantage over smaller companies. This limits competition and drives up the cost while also degrading the average quality of the construction as the larger companies seek to maximize profits.

These wounds, they will not heeaal!!

What douchebag corporate manager only beats around the bush for 15 minutes? Their defining characteristic is long-winded bullshit ramblings.

A 10 slide presentation takes 2 fucking hours and it obvious the manager has no fucking clue what they are talking about.

It’s nothing but an existential hatred of existence. Damn things are suicidal. There was always a few that managed to kill themselves every year on the ranch.

My ass and legs disagree after a gander latched on to my ass and beat me with his wings when I was a kid on the ranch.

Next time he came at me, I had a baseball bat. Roasted gander for dinner.

Shetties fall into the pure evil category. It’s not on the chart because the little shits are extra sneaky about it.

Lots of alcohol plus 4lbs of sugar, ouch.

Wouldn’t that also potentially mess up the kidneys as well?

4 lbs… Seriously how?.. I can hardly get through 1oz. It’s too much sugar.

Helps reduce water loss which helps them keep for a day to two longer.

They store them at 13-14C. Anything colder causes chilling injury aka they turn brown now yellow.

Apples are non-climacteric. Ethylene gas causes degradation of the fruit not ripening. It’s a little technicality.

There are two different major categories of fruit. Climacterix and non-climacteric. Climacteric fruit ripen with the production of ethylene gas. Ethylene is a major plant hormone that triggers a cascade of other biochemical processes.

Bananas are climacteric so they are harvested green and stored in a cooled (13-14C) containers with an absorbent to remove ethylene gas.

Before delivery to the store they are gassed with ethylene to trigger uniform ripening. Once the ripening process begins there is no reversing it. The fruit turns yellow and softens and storage is limited to a few days.

Raspberry Pi 5 set up as a mini computer with the old SSD from my laptop combined with a Rii rechargable keyboard/mouse remote.

It’s the best streaming box I have had.

As a schoolteacher my wife has perfected the look. It works on kids, other teachers, admin, bus drivers, and even gang affiliated parents. Apparently it’s terrifying to most people.

The only person it doesn’t work on is me.

What’s fun is when she occasionally attempts to narrate it.

Her “I am glaring at you!”

Me “Oh I see your “come hither” looks, they are quite sexy.”

Her “You are impossible!”

Me “Darl’n control yourself, we are in public.”

Let’s correct that little statement.

"Record high beef prices due to an orange dumbfucks trade war with everyone. "

Historically when prices spike the U.S. herd size is sold down quickly to capitalize on the higher prices. When the international producers see the prices start to climb, they build up their herds and flood the market a year or two later exporting into the U.S driving down the prices. Everyone who raises beef knows to sell down hard when prices spike to capitalize on the money when they can. Usually these leaks only last around 18 months.

Guess what happens when a trading partner starts to play stupid games? The traditional suppliers kept their herd sizes stable to limit economic risk due to uncertainty.

To make the issue more severe. Beef producers (cow/calf operations) traditionally have multiple revenue streams, cattle and some crops (usually hay). Hay, corn, soy etc are all dependent on export business. Guess what fucking with trading partners does? It’s cratered the price of all of these crops. End result, they sell more cattle to make ends meet further decreasing the herd size.

This is has always been the glaring issue with pure democracies.

That’s why constitutional republics were created. It’s supposed to be a counter to the negative side of democracy. The constitution is supposed to be continuously updated and refined with the changing needs of the Republic.

FYI the last constitutional amendment to the U.S. was in 1992. That is 34 years ago. Unless something changes radically in the next few years, historians will refer to that date as when the U.S. Constitution died.

It’s made some pretty significant additions lately that makes it a viable replacement for Nova.
