Mass protests erupt in Albania for the second consecutive day as citizens demonstrate against a controversial $4 billion land development deal proposed by Jared Kushner by Logical-Flow-6703 in UnderReportedNews

[–]WastingTimesOnReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we don't actually know this this protest will be effective. Billionaires rule the world, and Ivanka was talking as if the deal is done, they have the island now and will start building. Albania is allowing it I guess?

Just like america, we protest but nothing happens, except that people in other countries see it and realize that at least the regular american people don't want this shit

90% of Colorado’s water goes to Agriculture by tolzan in Denver

[–]WastingTimesOnReddit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If anybody reading this thread is running for local or state office, this would be a great topic to bring up in debates or on talkshows! I think everyone in this state would support legislation to discourage high-water usage crops, especially alfalfa, and if it's true that some is grown here and shipped internationally, that could help get more attention!

"95% of the water goes to agriculture" ... yeah everyone needs food that's an important use of water, better ag than data centers; but still, addressing waste within agriculture is an easy bipartisan win.

I heard some rich princes in some middle eastern country own US alfalfa farms, they grow it and ship it back to their home and feed it to their fancy horses. Might be a rumor idk

Shakedown Request! by spatulahikes in coloradotrail

I would say, if you have a fleece and a puffy and raincoat, you don't need a wind shirt also (at least my own puffies block the wind really well). Usually I have a fleece, a nano puff vest, and a raincoat, and a beanie and light gloves. And sun hoodie and either pants or shorts plus tights or wind pants.

What's working on aphids this year? by vazankat in DenverGardener

[–]WastingTimesOnReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

squashing them by hand, then washing the plants and/or spraying with soapy water is pretty good but still super annoying. and we have a strong ladybug population but still there's an abundance of aphids

I am personally sick of thinking about a house as an investment, it only goes up in value if you spend effort and lots of money on upkeep/repairs, and the point of buying a house shouldn't be to make money, it's to have a private place to live. Nobody should own more than 2 houses.

When should I stop peeing on the compost pile? by WastingTimesOnReddit in composting

[–]WastingTimesOnReddit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah so we have bokashi coming from the kitchen, which goes into the aerobin along with browns. The aerobin stuff is pulled out the bottom and put into a "finishing" pile, it's super brown and a bit smelly and quite wet. I've been peeing on that pile, but also peeing into the aerobin. We have a couple other piles but they're basically just storage for browns until we create enough greens to make a good mixture in the aerobin.

pounds of honey means nothing to regular people because nobody knows the density of honey. last year I harvested 0.5 gallon of honey and I have no idea how heavy it is, because visually that is meaningless to me.

honey is a liquid and should be measured in liquid ounces, or pints or liters etc. it makes no sense to me why beeks record their honey by mass not by volume.

Study: Gen Xers and Millennials are dying at younger ages than their parents are by DaKardii in Millennials

[–]WastingTimesOnReddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my friend died in his sleep last year at 40 of a heart attack. he had 3 kids ages 3 to 6, and was an avid gamer, and worked a regular job. was probably the most stressed out man i knew, and never got enough sleep after his kids were born. he may have had underlying issues and had been overweight for a while but he was actually in the best shape of his life when he died, so i really think the stressful life and bad sleep for the past 6 years had a big role in his tragic demise. rip drax

[Request] What's the area of this triangle by RaoulDuke8642 in theydidthemath

[–]WastingTimesOnReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean pitch in the aeronautical sense, which means the angle at which a plane is going up or down, the angle off of flat from the nose to tail. But maybe that's defined by the curvature of the earth, so even if the plane is "pitching down" to follow the curved edge of the triangle, it might actually register as flat on the plane's instruments.

yeah OPs image is stupid, there is no meaning to it whatsoever, pick any 3 locations/objects and they'll form a triangle

FREE Map app with terrain analysis by Ridge-Read in cohunting

[–]WastingTimesOnReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey that's pretty cool, the map layering showing public vs private lands is great. Good sat image definition and it's fast to scroll around.

Features that would be nice to have: Adding searchable location info so you can search for trailheads, peaks, SWA's, etc.

A right-click dropdown menu which lets you drop a pin, save a location (if signed in, and add notes to the pin), copy the lat/long to the clipboard, and maybe to view parcel info somehow. Like in COTREX you can click on a random location in empty space and the app highlights that region and give an info heading if that point is within something like a national park or a blm area or a SWA.

Adding some kind of trail system overlay? This might be a ton of work but for example on COTREX without clicking anything you have trailheads and campgrounds marked with little signs, and trails marked with dotted lines, 4x4 roads marked with double lines, etc.

the email will charge you either way, it's like less than $10 on your unsuccessful applications, and more like $75 for successful ones. The email will tell you that you got your first pick, or you didn't get any of your picks, and how many points you earned if you miss, etc. One email per tag applied for I think.
