It leaves dell with employees who do their job and have a life outside of work. They will put their hours in but not much more. They do not recommend change or new ways of getting things done, because they don’t care. They will do the minimum and punch the clock for years until they find another better paying job.
Weird how my school district that pays a living wage has 200 qualified teachers applying to every position. It amazing what paying g 30-40% more than the surrounding states does.
It’s physiological leaf roll. Its a reaction to environmental stressors, likely the heat. It causes no damage to the plant and doesn’t reduce the yield.
The treatment for it is ignoring it.

Forums were awesome until the ads took over. Then apps like Tapatalk made reading them easier. Then Tapatalk went to shit and power users migrated to reddit (mainly for the easy to use wepage and awesome independent apps.).
Then reddit shit the bed so now Lemmy is filling the gaps.
There is no actively growing onions in the field. It looks like it’s about ready to seed.
The brown rows is likely barley. It’s used as a cover crop over sandy soil. Before they plant the onions they spray the field with an herbicide. The beds are cultivated and seeded leaving a few inches of the dead barley.
The rows of dead barely acts as a windbreak to reduce sandblasting of the young plants with the wind.
I personally think three things have driven the degradation in the movie theaters
The lack of competition with theatres as monopolies have formed. This has allowed the average theatre to degrade in quality.
Most major “blockbuster” style movies are designed for the international market. Lots of long action sequences with little dialogue. Simple character development and plots for easier translation. They are all pretty boring.
And last, the improvements and price reduction of TV’s and home sound systems. Combined with the fast release of movies onto streaming platforms or pirate sites.
So what exactly is are theaters selling anymore? A shitty service for a shitty product that is better consumed at home.
All farming is bad for nature. There is no such thing as environmentally friendly farming. The “less damaging” methods of farming are “it only destroying 95% of the habitat, not 98%.”
We could grow everything we need with 1/2 of the land if we banned dry land farming and moved to all irrigated. What’s better? less damaging farming or millions of acres re-wilded.
To be fair, they had to take a chance. Once spotted death is coming for them. Their only hope is to destroy the drone and run like hell.
Sort of like hospital bills now. My wife went to the E.R. 2 months ago. They billed the insurance $4K. The insurance said nope and paid $220. We paid $40.
Hey now, I feel attacked.
We had half the typing lab full of IBM’s with 5.25" floppies running WordPerfect 5.1
The other half was the IBM selectric typewriters.
Oh and “Get off my lawn!!!”
It’s a very distinctive area from the pictures. It also helps that I have been there.
1:10 do not recommend a visit - too hot, no booze, mediocre food, and everyone smokes way too much. The oppressive culture isn’t that great either.
That is in Saudi Arabia. Not that far from the border with Jordan.
GPS 30.0095403, 38.3257591
Those are mostly alfalfa fields that Saudi decided to use a fossil aquifer to water. Their wells are running dry and which is why there is so many abandoned fields. These are areas they don’t have enough water. It’s mixed in with date palms now as well.
Sigh, this is what happens when people speculate outside of their field of expertise. I tried to read all of the original paper but got pissed off at their stupidity.
First off they do not understand current commercial plant breeding efforts at all. This is not surprising given that the expertise in the subject is no longer in university programs. In the 80’s and 90’s plant breeders could make 3-4x the money in private industry. Only the incompetent stayed behind in university programs and their students are now writing these terrible papers completely disconnected from reality.
FYI Commercial plant breeding is evolutionary processes sped up to the extreme. The companies are aggressively searching for, creating, and introgressing new traits. It’s a never ending race against the constantly changing environment and other companies. In many market segments varieties only last for 4-5 years.
Pet peeve: Contrary to what idiots like this write, breeding for yield does not exist. Yield is not a trait you can select for. Yield is the end result of selecting to optimize the whole organism to match its environment: plant health, plant vigor, pest resistance, disease resistance, optimized nutrient management, soil/microbe interactions, etc. These authors are ignorant of fundamental concepts of plant breeding over 50 years old.
Finally the absolute worst thing that we should do is go back to land races. Besides causing widespread famine, all types of agriculture always damage the environment. There is no such thing as environmentally friendly farming. Going back to landraces will increase our need for agricultural land. We don’t need landraces of our important food crops, we need a healthy population of evolving wild types. Using modern breeding techniques, introgressing novel new traits from wild types only take a few years.
The best way to conserve the planet is to work to restore the full ecosystems we have destroyed to farm. We need to massively reduce our land usage and rewild millions of acres. To do this we need to focus on maximizing our breeding efforts and cropping systems via protected culture and irrigation systems.
So in terms a biologist can understand: If it’s not charge what is the difference between normal and negative matter?
Would negative mass be the same as antimatter?
Yeah the lack of criminal charges indicates that it was a manic episode. She probably spent several weeks in a mental health ward. Otherwise she would have been charged for the abuse to the flight attendants and others.
She also likely had a ton of drugs in her system as well as the booze. People undergoing manic episodes will take about anything.
I am not so sure about the FAA fines. The U.S. civil court system is inherently unjust. There are many draconian rules that punish the mentally ill and impoverished.
A seat for those with Hemorrhoids.
Windows 11 adoption to business customers is really bad. Most of the adoption to 11 has been from people purchasing new home computers and being stuck with 11 (I have two win 11 computers now).
Since the bulk of Microsoft’s revenue comes from business customers, they have a huge impact on decisions.
At this point the only decision Microsoft can make is to write off win 11 as a failue. Resuming feature upgrades to win 10 makes business sense.
FYI Tomato flowers are cleistogamous and are 95%+ self-pollinating. So pollen on tomato flowers doesn’t actually need to be transfered between flowers. The flowers just need to be shaken up a bit to get the pollen to drop from the anther to the pistil.
So take something that vibrates like a electric toothbrush, massager, or other personal devices (wink, wink) and shake the hell out of the flowers.
