I’m not an american, thankfully

The dust bowl stretched as far north as Palliser’s triangle.

I’ve dug pits near Selkirk MB, and average topsoil depth in that area is 20 cm, and the soils are regosolic (meaning it’s topsoil over top of regolith, rather than having a transitional horizon) in most farmers fields.

Go off into the bush 200 m away, and the soil there, that had the exact same pedogenic conditions has the 60 cm of Ah horizon (black topsoil), super strong structure, a fully developed B horizon (that transition horizon I mentioned earlier) and then the C (regolith).

This is all because the area lost a foot of topsoil during the 30s, and what was left was poorly managed - conventional tillage for decades - which has caused plow erosion of the B horizon and admixing of the poorer subsoil horizons into the A horizon.

This erosion of the B happens because in a conventional tillage system, you lose a few mm of soil each year off the top, yet your plow depth settings don’t change because you still need that 30 cm or whatever it is to grow your crops.

What a WONDERFUL phrase

Didn’t Trump say he could do as much and get away with it?

You’re probably right, and I tried to acknowledge that my thinking was flawed by the donning of the tinfoil hat. You make some great points; i just abhor coincide, and pick at it like a dried scab. This sometimes leads me to the ‘put everything in this square hole’ approach (cue nerdy girl melting down).

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle: Russians meddling (and others) a bit when opportunities arise, because a right wing or destabilized west benefits them, with fascist groups emboldened as a result. There’s probably more to it and this is a ‘4 am phone check response’ and I’m going back to bed.

I think it’s all Russian propaganda hard at work. It just seems too systematic. You can almost predict what the next talking point/rhetoric is going to be. I’ve had several occasions where I’ve seen a comment online that really seems out there or needlessly inflammatory, and then watched that comment slowly get adopted and spread to the right, only to become the drum they bang for the next 6 months. It also all seemed to start 2015ish, which somewhat lines up with the Crimean invasion.

Can’t trump just reneg on this? I am not American, but I thought Biden canceled a bunch already and had to walk it back

Holy that’s a lot of food. At the very least he did meal prep for the week

Christ, humanity at its best.

Lol you’re getting downvoted for having a rational viewpoint and wanting something you care about and enjoy to be safe for other humans to enjoy it too.

How fucking dare you

I like gaywallet. I’ve known it for quite a long time, actually. Some of my first interactions with it were what feels like a lifetime ago on Reddit. We kind of fell out of touch, but I was delighted to find it here.

It’s always been a level headed individual. Reserved for the most part, and that post is no different. Oh, it most certainly has a dry sense of humour (and should let it show a bit more!), but I appreciate the dedication to being a damn good (and fair) mod/admin.

Also, if it’s reading this: bbhh

Give it two years, and then all she will get is an empty bag

I’ve got a 2024 pilot. It’s fucking big, but it’s considered ‘mid sized’, which blows my fucking mind until I pull up to a Suburban or the like

That even distribution is impressive

Wonderful composition. I love this

This almost looks like a painting
