Tunis, Tunisia. The old town was something else.

Two lawyers got in a pissing contest on developing the land they owned.
My great-grandfather apparently had a story about it. It involved lots of booze, a prostitute, and a horse. Then again most of his stories had the same theme so the truthfulness of the story is up for debate.
Missoula is a bit odd on a few things. I attended Hellgate elementary - yes that’s the name of the school.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Should I use a dedicated password manager instead of Firefox's built-in manager?
4·24 days agoThe question is two-fold. How secure do you want the password to be determines what system to use.
For example:
Banking - I never store a password or username for these. It’s always one I can remember. The password is lengthy, multi-factor authentification is turned on etc… I don’t trust any system.
Finanial webpages other than banks, , taxes, healthcare, etc, stuff that would hurt me personally if stolen, I use a stand alone password manager.
Anything else goes into Firefox password manager. Stuff I don’t give a fuck about if somebody hacks my password.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself
4·25 days agoI went to a very small public university campus that a few years before was associated with a massive state university. They were still mostly independent but we’re getting all sorts of pressure to conform to the larger universities policies on research etc. At my school the professors all taught and did little to no research.
As part of their ongoing arguments they had all juniors/seniors in both schools take a standardize tests at the end of their core degree courses for a year. My tiny university averaged 90th percentile. The large university averaged 30th percentile. The difference having highly qualified dedicated teachers.

2·2 months agoPotatos are very destructive to the soil.
They have to be dug up (lots of cultivation). This breaks up the soil structure causing all sorts of issues with porosity, nutrient and organic material loss.
Because of the diseases and pest that attack the growing tubers, growers use fumigants/biofumigants. These are indescriminate killers that wipe out all sorts of insects, fungi, nematodes, and bacteria.
Potatoes leave very little organic residue behind when the tubers are harvested.
Any crop that follows potatoes suffers from a “yield drag” for 2-3 years as the soil recovers.
Out of the all starchy foods we eat, potatoes and sweet potatoes are the worst for the soil.
I find that a string of swear words works wonders for many sites when they want to be all picky. Add in a random symbol/number and presto a “Secure” password.

Its a fucking stupid and manipulative question for the employer to ask. No employer should give a fuck if somebody took a couple years to travel, take care of family, or just couldn’t find a job.
What they are really asking "Are any of the time gaps in your job history, a job that you got fired from with cause? "
Instead of being little shits about it just ask the actual question straight out. The shock value of asking a real non-bullshit questions in an interview has paid off many times for me when hiring.
Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot.
Tomorrow,
“Hey boss, after unloading that truck yesterday with the pallet jack, my back is really sore. If it doesn’t ease up I might need to go to the doctor today.”
Next safety meeting/safety suggestion box in a week or two.
“I really think the company should invest in electric pallet jacks. They are not that expensive and will cut down on potential lower back injuries.”
Van driver shows up.
“Hey do you guys have a dock or a ramp?”
The pallet jack is offered as a sacrificial lamb.
The van driver curses and groans and sadly takes the offered pallet jack.
… Takes cover and starts reloading, only to have a medic jumping like a bunny appear from the smoke and headshot you 3 times from the hip.
They are also totally not using cheats as they go 95:8 in the round.
I vote for squash/pumpkins. I have a bunch of those as well as corn.
It adds flex to the container for variations of atmospheric pressure. It’s what they mean by the fill levels.
Milk containers are filled by weight. The exact volume of the liquid can vary slightly based upon the atmospheric pressure.
If the container has no flex the top will pop off or the sides will crush in with pressure changes say when a truck drives over a mountain pass to deliver the milk.
They have been proven multiple times to significantly decrease productivity but they are cheaper to build. Visual and sound distractions break up concentration when you are tying to work.
I had one place that insisted on an open office with these these torture style “ergonomic” chairs. I hated the setup so did some sleuthing. The chair model was discontinued because they sucked and the company got them on a steep discount. The “open office” desks where 1/8 the price of a traditional cubical setup.
Strange, what mysterious land is this where farm laborers are paid fairly. I have traveled to every continent and 40+ countries visiting thousands of farms. Never have I found a place where farm laborers were paid fairly. They are always the abused serfs of the society working long hours for little pay.
I have seen human suffering in vast quantities but never a fair wage.
He’s also a dust mop for the warehouse.
The USDA-NASS is responsible for making an estimate of the number of corn cobs in the U.S. Most other countries have similar organizations.
To do so they send surveys out to ask farmers what they think. The farmers answer completely truthfully because lying would inflate the prices they get on their corn cobs.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•It's really ugly but it's a sign of a healthy environment for soil microbes.
2·4 months agoTrichoderma is the genus, there is currently 89 different species classified.
That being said, they did use the species that became a primary pathogen as an antifungal for many years. As soon as the species was identified as a primary pathogen the suppliers changed to another related species. They also claimed to have mislabeled the species on what they sold before (bullshit of course).

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Alright you fucking degenerates. It's time to get your edumacation on about corn smut.
4·4 months agoIt tastes like a corny mushroom. Do not try them from a jar. Those taste more like a slimy snot rag.
It’s an obligate parasite that enters the corn plant via tiny wounds when it’s the plant is small. The most common source of wounding is insect damage or wind. Sandy soil + wind creates the highest incidence. Once you find some hotspots it’s easy to find.


It’s called Bi-color corn. It’s made by creating a hybrid between white and yellow corn inbreds. The seeds are all yellow. The resulting corn (F2 seeds) display a yellow:white ratio of 3:1.
The color has zero impact on flavor, texture or sweetness. It’s all for visual impact.
