The sap from all of these cause terrible blisters when it gets on you and sunlight hits it

Dang. That’s a much better spelling. I was trying to figure out how to type it without it just saying bags.

Happy Birthday, OP. Trying to lose weight sucks. I miss the days when I was on the “see food” diet, but I’ve dropped 20 lbs since January and picked up some healthy habits along the way.

Watermelon is amazing, so I’d be all over this

Grinning at me Steve Urkel

Unrelated, but I saw this headline, and could hear both you and squidward swearing from here.

You’re really lucky. They were over-trapped and their populations cratered. They are making a comeback, but still.

I think I only caught a glimpse of one in my time in the field

It’s a pretty tight nit group. we are pretty live-and-let live. Some granola vibes that aren’t for me, but see the previous sentence about letting live. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a hard core environmentalists, but from the science side rather than the more utopian view the instance takes. I suppose that’s part of the solar punk movement though - they’re optimists about the future in the face of destruction. It’s inspiring and refreshing.

We have our own memes channel, some highly technical channels and some more political/anarchist channels (thus the punk).

Give us a browse

not nerd enough to see it

You would fit right in on our instance

I don’t suspect so - I’ve never tried it, but I would really like to.

I’m also not sure how tall it can get - depends on your growing season and the plant’s lifecycle

I’ve heard that you can grow a FUCK TON of potatoes with these.

What you do is you start the plant in one, let it grow, stack the next planter on top, and gradually fill with soil. Rinse repeat.

I’m not up on my dick energy idioms, nor do I care to be.

The guy’s is a douche canoe and that’s all there is to it.

Please.

I’m from Alberta. This is just big dick energy.

Besides, there are 4x4 crew vans with lift kits that the oil sands mines use to address the issues you’re talking about. Those are most certainly cheaper than this monstrosity, and if it was a work thing he’d have to have company decals on it.

Crossing the street in Vietnam is the weirdest experience: you just slowly shuffle out, and this literal sea of mopeds parts around you like a school of fish around a shark

Did they make a paper air plane out of that letter? The creases look like it

This is the most accurate thing ever. I’m pretty sure I still have dirt in some of the creases of skin, and I haven’t been in the field for 3 years

Yes, but the dynamics of demand is rapidly changing. Look at the micromobility sector - there was nothing 5ish years ago, and now scooter and ebikes are everywhere.

the only thing keeping Chinese vehicles out are trade restrictions. Look at Europe: VW is in dire straights because they can’t compete with Chinese EVs.

I don’t think it’s market research though said research can look like this. The messaging doesn’t seem to line up.

Honestly, if I was a Ford shareholder, I would be dumping my shares as fast as possible - there’s no coming back from an open admission of defeat like that. He flat out said they can’t win, the barriers of entry are too high, and the key one (software like Xiaomi) doesn’t even really exist yet.

As others point out, the western automakers did this to themselves. Hoo boy did China out capitalism. Ironic
