You can’t do corn every year. Corn farmers need to rotate and the primary crop is soy since it replenishes the nutrients corn needs and it is easy and you can sell it (or could)

What is wrong with soy? It is great at restoring nutrients in soil. It is full of protein. It is a great meat alternative…

You can’t grow corn every year. It depletes the soil of nutrients. We grow soy because 1) it restores soil nutrients 2) it is very easy to plant and harvest 3) it can grow almost anywhere in the US 4) we had a buyer which was china using it as animal feed.

I don’t know that there is another good cash crop we can use for crop rotation.

I doubt it. We plant soy beans as part of crop rotation, but don’t actually consume them. We sold them primarily to china to use as feed for animals since china primarily uses its soy beans to feed its population. Due to the trade war, china is purchasing soy from other countries. This means every other year, farmers will not have income unless either the US consumes a lot more soybeans or all the farmers agree to use a different crop rotation that has value. But soy beans are easy to plant, do a great job enriching soil, and can grow in most climates in the us.

My non technical spouse prefers profile to separate work and personal. She uses different themes for each profile so it is very obvious which is which.

Also one of the extensions she likes interferes with a work site she is required to use. She has that extension installed in the personal profile but not work profile.

Profiles can have separate settings which is nice. I heavily use tab containers, but the site used for online grad school requires 3rd party cookies for any of the embedded content to work. So I have a separate school profile that has 3rd party cookies enabled.

Well, Wayland forces client side decorations which I’ve never agreed with.

The time on my phone changed.

At least give them a zip or jazz drive!

And in my library I actually know what version I have not some 2018 “remix”.

Same with my movie library. I can have theatrical and directors or unrated extended version.

😭

Last year’s murder rate in Birmingham was caused by a single person known as the enforcer for a gang. He was finally caught and is being charged with 23 murders over an 18 month period! There are quite a few more he is suspected of!

Edit: fixed autocorrect changing murders to borders and nurses

During the Civil Rights movement, it wasn’t until TV started showing live the treatment from Bull Connor in Birmingham against African Americans that the mood of the nation started to change to be in favor of Civil Rights.

So yeah, more people need to see people being abducted harshly every damn day until this country finally says enough.

It just seems to me that we should require data centers to pay for new capacity on the grid using 100% renewable energy.

That would keep regular citizens for having to pay for the grid expansion, would help clean up the grid and move it forward, and all that investment in wind and solar would help bring the cost of renewables down. It would be a win for everyone.

The model itself does not contain spyware nor is it filtered. Using the models locally (via ollama or llama.cpp) or in a secure hosted environment like AWS bedrock is safe. I was DeepSeek that way all the time.

I would never ever recommend using DeepSeek or Alibaba’s Qwen service though!

For some. But Alabama power has raised rates AGAIN to build another 2 gas plants because of data centers. My power bill has increased by 50% in the last 6 years.

If ‘—first-parent’ was the default way that git log worked, I don’t think we’d even be having this argument over how to merge branches.

In my opinion, the best strategy is to always use a merge commit, and then when viewing master, always use —first-parent which will ONLY show commits on master. This gives you:

• a very clean, linear history
• the ability to let people work in their branches in their own way (it is ok to merge master into your branch multiple times without rebasing)
• you can dig into the history of any branch if needed
• it makes it easy to backport changes as you can cherry-pick out the merge commit which contains everything.

The problem is just the default log view of git and tools.

The problem is all that ends up in the groundwater. Obviously industrial use is the problem, but I think it is responsible to avoid any herbicide especially if it is just to make your yard “look nice”.

Since 2013 we’ve seen disenfranchisement in Alabama in real time. Require strict new voter id, then close the DMVs in black and left leaning areas. Combine polling places in democratic leaning areas so they are further away and have long lines. Move polling places so they are no longer accessible by bus. Those are just the obvious ones, but the Republicans’ strategy has been to do anything they can to stop people from voting.
