Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Corn is at least honest about how much moisture it’s spewing out. Beans just trap the moisture under the canopy turning the dirt into a clumpy muddy boot trap. 010
Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 02/10/2026200 bushels per acre is a good bit of appreciation but $5/bushel prices doesn’t get much respect. 020
Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 24/09/2026That’s not nearly enough. Heck, that’s barely enough fresh curds for the flight home. 120
Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The RPG elements of DCC are really more WoW than DnD. So, geeky stuff of the Oughts rather than ‘80s/‘90s. 010
Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 23/09/2026If you like series that “grow” in depth and detail give it a try. Book one to book eight is a real acorn to oak tree ride. 110
Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I took the first book for my World Con trip read and finished book eight last week. Once MD starts layering in the different surrounding character back stories and world building hooks the series really starts to suck you along. 010
Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I have a vague interest in a Pritzker/Walz ticket. It’s got a very midwestern “suburban dads cleaning up after the tornadoes” feel to it. 180
Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Colonization was my introduction to the genre, quickly moved into Civ2. But Civ3 was the pinnacle for me, never to have been surpassed. Ok, maybe Alpha Centauri… 000

Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 02/09/2026It’s a normal amount of rust for being out that long on a combat mission. It’s worrisome because there obviously hasn’t been even a minimal effort to pretty it up since it left that combat station. Normally they’d at least slap a coat of paint over the rust they couldn’t scrape off easy. 010
Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 02/09/2026You know how bad morale is by the fact the captain didn’t even try to have it cleaned up at least a bit before coming in to port. 000

Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 05/08/2026There’s some damn fine humanist ethical philosophy in the Gospels. It’s too bad it gets ignored in favor of the supernatural BS and bureaucratic memos from the apostles. 090
Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 05/08/2026It’s funny to me that they’re attacking her like this when she’s politically and doctrinally more conservative than the ELCA pastor I grew up with 40 years ago. 000

Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 15/07/2026And that’s just for direct consumption vegetable farming. For most commodity crops that will be well processed before you eat them, you can apply the manure straight from the feedlot. 000

Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 14/07/2026The best revenge on those districts is to flood them with investments in good things they’ll absolutely hate.

Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Once the full rupture occurs it’s pretty fast. But from the start of a partial until it completely tears open you get to enjoy blood pressure and heart rate swings, shortness of breath, sweats and chills, various pains, and the aforementioned sense of doom. Could take minutes, could take hours. 000
Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 13/07/2026One of the symptoms of an aortic aneurysm is “sense of impending doom”. I can only hope he spent his last hours suffering mightily with that one. 110
Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 12/07/2026And before it completely splits open, gushing life blood into your chest cavity, it will often produce blood balloon on the side of the aorta which will leave you feeling unwell. So, sudden death following “short illness” pretty well describes it. 1200
Corn Fed Iowa Boy @cornfed.bsky.social · 08/07/2026It’s the proper opening move regardless of strategy. Like the Japanese Ambassador delivering the declaration of war just before Pearl Harbor. 2110
