'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I hope having a guest will make for a good if unproductive weekend, sarameg.
Have moved inside for the s'mores and Supernatural portion of the evening (my coals are basically out, I'd have to build a fire to toast marshmallows on the patio and I am not up for that right now). Nice sunset, lovely full moon.
It's figuring out which Stuff goes, and how to get rid of it, and dredging up the spoons to carry out that plan, that slays my good intentions every time.
I can organize the hell out of the stuff, but then it has to be transported to the various places. Not all the thrift places do pickups, and those that do will only pick up big stuff, not three boxes of random junk.
edit: I'm doing a batch for eBay right now, tough. That $100+ in PayPal is incentive.
I managed to get the dishwasher emptied before dinner was delivered.
I am hoping that's not the only thing I do this weekend, but I have a bad feeling about that part.
Well, good job!
I had to pull grass out of my cat's butt. I didn't think he'd eaten that much.
That is a chore my cat's have, thus far, spared me. For which I am duly grateful.
He's asleep soundly, I'm still grossed out.
I am very glad my cats don't get outside much.
hope this isn't too good to be true: [link][link]
I'm afraid it is. Or at least it substitues a whole new set of problems. Energy for lighting to replace the free fusion reactor open fields use - the sun. Also when you talk land area, you cannot just count land the new farm building is on How much land was displace to make the steel and glass and concrete. How many trees were cut down for the wood.
There are ways to get the same water savings withou building syscrapers for it. And for that mattter if you want to grow food indoors there is a well known solution that still lets you use that free fusion reactor for lighting - greenhouses.
I could write an 8,000kl word essay on the problems with this - even if it is confiened to veggies. (Note that if you someone tried this with grains and pulses - which is most the overwhelming majority of agricultural land, you run into whole additional sets of problems. Also note that fruit mostly comes from trees. Maybe you can figure out the problem with trying to grow an orchard above the first floor.)
Is natter dead, or is it just msbelle?
