I would be fine if I was a manager telling folks how to implement it, but I'm not. Randomly 2 months ago I've been getting referred to as a team lead and there was no pay increase or title change. Additionally outside of the people I help, it looks bad that my actual work is going to prod at a slow rate. It'd be different if I ha d a mandate to train folks, but instead i do it outta the kindness of remembering how shitty it was when I was so far off from the solution.

Why would one need a phone detection detector?

Being the most senior person on teams (skillset not age or time at a company) is so frustrating. Some days I don't get anything done because I'm teaching people basic stuff instead of doing the work I committed to at the daily stand-up.

This is partially a symptom of layoffs not directed at performance and managers not making people upskill. Also managers not setting (code) standards or team apis or cross team SLAs

I definitely think your perspective is correct. Possibly you could couple the end of subsidies with a timelock (10-30years) for zoning changes from ag to something else on ag zoned properties. That would have the simultaneous affect of dropping the cost of farm land, which we need currently cuz the young generations can't afford farm land these days.

That might further exacerbate the housing crisis, but if we actually closed the fucking border maybe not. Since ending oil subsidies at the same time would likely decrease suburban demand, maybe counties and municipalities would be willing to fool with their zoning in innovative ways to spur more village creation, but the boomers can't be trusted to do this bc they're the rent seeking generation.

Could also do something cool where the feds override local zoning codes for ag to make them temporarily less restrictive, for example permitting ag properties to build unlimited housing if it's inhabbitted by family and mobile tiny houses if not related. That'd get us back to multigenerational farms (incentivizing boomers to take lower profits on their homes and build a retirement home on their child's farm) and create the workforce needed for regenerative agriculture.

There is so much innovation that could be done if the ag subsidies ended that the right states and counties could definitely capitalize.

Sounds like another victim of the insurance industrial complex

Hugely in favor of their being no farm bill what so ever. To play devils advocate, would we have to have tariffs on imported food? Otherwise won't ag land be converted into other subsidized industries posthaste?

The answer to most questions is 1971

Never heard of this, thanks for sharing. Would it still be habitable?

I'm convinced it's a psyop that the Midwest isn't covered in Osage Orange/red cedar/wild plum/locust windbreak/hedge rows and each county doesn't have a contract to maintain them.

Free cattle proof fencing that sheep will prune and provides food for an insane amount of wildlife(and humans if shtf) AND high quality lumber.

I can't help but think jobs like this will be the "learn to code" for us in IT that will be replace by AI. #permaculture

Thinning my woods for the sheep to eat the leaves and then picking up the sticks when the pigs are in those paddocks is constant.

The individuals name was Bradley Manning.

Nice. But Assange didn't work with Chelsea Manning.

Exactly that, South America isn't western because the idealogies of their founders mostly don't come from European individualists or eastern collectivists. They're their own category, maybe they could be grouped with Africa in the sense of tribalism, but likely each of those continents could be their own thing.

Some South American countries are trying to earn their way into western culture, but I would not be the arbiter if that line.

Got a fountain link?

Not enough bitcoiners have deep freezers and root cellars. Difficult to have a circular economy when your basic needs can't be fulfilled by local farmers.

The orient and the west have nothing to do with geography as Australia is often considered the west. It's about the dominant socio-political climate. Hence why Australia is considered western, but Chile isn't. South America and Africa's political foundations are influenced differently from the eat and west dichotomy

I gage the amount of farm chores I do daily by my chess playing ability that day.

Usually in the morning I'll play a couple games to see if I'm on point that day. I'll run a couple more before the lunch break and another couple matches before evening. If I make tons of blunders or lose to people with a much lower score than me, I limit my farm work to minimal maintenance, not advancements or long hard days, and spend the extra-time doing my day job.

I find it's a good metric since farming mistakes can be, at worst, life or death or, at best, a waste of several hours in the heat and mistakes at my job are generally insignificant relative to the slow moving bureaucracy of the company I work for.

I wish I had a similar self-awareness metric for my emotional state to gage when it's a "sit outside and observe the animals" + VS "stay inside and shower fiancé with affection" day.

Agile is so easy to define after reading a couple books or taking a Clas on it, but most in management have likely just read one article about it, and think agile means fast and that's all they're trained on. When I was consulting it was so annoying bc companies that stuck closest to SAFE or the agile manifesto, succeeded at it and those that justified deviation through ego were basically just using it to micromanage

This, so many companies don't even weed out programmers based on a language they themselves claim to know how to do.
