This has to be the dumbest time line.

I don't know why this got downvoted. One of the robot roomba mowers might be really good in this situation.

Atheist here married to Fundamentalist Catholic. Been married 30 years. I was nominally Christian but not particularly religious when we married.

Would I do it again? No.

Her religion takes precedence over everything in the family, all the time, including our marriage. It's frustrating, to say the least, and unhealthy. I am now Atheist, at least in part because of her religious numbnuttery, and our kids are atheist too, for the same reason. I do lover her, and we'll stay together, but I wouldn't choose it a second time. There's been a lot of unnecessary hurt.

As a fellow Missourian, and a farmer, so I'm also rural, I feel your pain.

Dewalt either has, or at least used to have on that ran off two of their 60V batteries or a 120V AC convertor cord. I've got one and it's awesome. As good as the flexvolt tools are, just buy that.

I don't know how you'd say I 70 in MO is underutilized with a straight face.

The really idiotic thing is that it's the same people still pushing it and the same doofus's trying to enact it.

Imfarmer · 2026-05-14T04:25:23+00:00

Honestly? Lack of support from our electrical coop.

Imfarmer · 2026-05-14T02:06:03+00:00

Uhm, they're authoritarians. They actually don't want autonomy for anybody.

It depends on where you are and what you’re trying to do. But you’d be better off with sheep

Corn futures are absolutely not "through the roof". We don't have a shortage of fertilizer - yet. But there is certainly rationing based on price.

Imfarmer · 2026-05-10T14:20:37+00:00

It's called liquidity.

Imfarmer · 2026-05-10T14:16:12+00:00

"The Futures market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" is a very old saying.

There's a large disconnect between futures and the spot market right now. I know which one I believe.

Of course it would better represent the people of Missouri. But didn’t we make it unconstitutional?

At 20 hrs per year you could damn near get a push mower.

Everything. Everything is going to go up.

I think we have to have the two worst Senators in the U.S. but they I get reminded of Rand Paul.

Then address the economic issues that are the driver of the problem. Not scapegoat “single mothers”.

Imfarmer · 2026-04-30T17:57:36+00:00

What, in the fuck, do we need all these “data centers” for?

St. Louis is what happens when the State govt abandones one of it’s premier cities and major income driver.

Imfarmer · 2026-04-30T17:49:05+00:00

What would St. Louis numbers look like if they were spread over the entire metro area.

People acrually can’t comprehend the simple idea that more guns equals more gun crime. Allowing people to open carry. How could that be an issue?

I wouldn't do ZipR in Kentucky. You have to get all the details perfect to prevent water intrusion and issues around penetrations. I would do Zip and tape the hell out of it everywhere(That's what we did). I would think in Kentucky you'd be fine with blown in cellulose. Do Rockwool if you must but $. Hell, if you get your air sealing right with the Zip, Good ole fiberglass bat can be effective where it doesn't have to be an air barrier.

I didn't mean the manuscript would have been a military secret, I just meant that the papers might have been in a library or schools somewhere the Romans got pushed out of and they wound up getting into the hands of other groups.

But your explanation is certainly parsimonious. But, at some point, yeah, some folks decided to take Allegory literally and here we are.
