If Trump hadn't dodged the draft 6 times he would have gone to Vietnam. And there is no way the Vietcong would have missed big orange glowing fat man in the jungle.

So bombing foreign countries works for you then. And yet you haven't won a war since WWII. And Iraq resulted in ISIS & 9/11. Well done.

When I arrived in Germany I weighed 73 kg. Now I'm almost 20 kilos heavier, which will remain with me unless famine strikes. Bonus: I'm a lot harder to push around, being built like a fridge freezer.

Sure. Looks like you bombed Iran into submission just like in Iraq, Vietnam, etc. with your strategic bombers. The cruise missile that killed 120 school children in Iran was probably fired from an aircraft carrier rather than a bomber. Devastating you might add. I'm sure they were.

Precision fermentation is the only real solution as farming is so wasteful. We're all getting fat in our house. The dog gets stuffed full of chickens & I love Belgian chocolate cake.

HPS is better for flowering than halides , but both HPS & halides are extremely inefficient compared to LEDs, which have largely taken over for that main reason. Saying that, heating is needed in the winter. I sometimes use a combination of LED + HPS when it's cold.

Corn smut growing on fodder maize. A local dairy farmer plants fodder maize every year on the same fields. This is a recipe for this disease known as corn smut. Found early, this is in fact edible, but this one is too late to save. flic.kr/p/2sEzqze

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

Growing #cannabis outside in northern Europe? Best choose early flowering cultivars as late ones like this will go mouldy before they are ready. This plant is a cutting from an exotic indoor hybrid so I will have to bring it inside before it gets too damp. Luckily it's in a pot! flic.kr/p/2sEkvmK

In 1980s Britain, Thatcher used the police to break strikes/unions (e.g. miners), so employers could have their own way Now we have the biggest ever gap in pay between bosses and workers. Nice if you're the boss, but ultimately it destroys the economy Welfare costs=unpaid wages #r4today #ukpolitics

Mouldy Maize
Drought and then rain at the wrong time has resulted in this failed crop. It's fodder maize for dairy cows so the whole crop will be harvested and shredded for fermenting as fodder.
