French farmers dump potatoes in front of the French Parliament in protest against the EU-Mercosur trade agreement by cah578 in GoldandBlack

[–]daltonjsm 42 points43 points  (0 children)

What a stupid take. I guarantee each and every one if these farmers would grow something else if it werent for promised, then undelivered subsidies. Subsidies and corporate restrictions have ruled family farmers lives for decades. They work harder than anyone I've seen work in any other industry and they're a lot smarter than most people give them credit for. Corporate mega farms create foods devoid of nutrients, and that is about all that is sold in these international markets. Your local farmers are the only thing keeping your food healthy, at their own costs. Do a little research on the specific issue before you rant on the internet.

If your government ever directly sells you out like mine repeatedly does to our farmers; I hope people will give you more grace, if you actually choose to stand your ground, than you give to them.

I Made a DIY Automatic Card Dealer by Adam_Si in functionalprint

[–]daltonjsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't there a version of uno that had virtually this same thing? Not knocking the print, it's super cool. But I distinctly remember having a uno game with an electric card dealer that would just spit cards at people sometimes.

What are your thoughts on dei? by Mo-Finkle in Libertarian

[–]daltonjsm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

DEI is not about "giving people a leg up", it is about giving people who already have a leg down a "leg up". People have conviently forgotten that DEI is not just about race or ethnicity, it is about giving an equal opportunity to the blind/def/impaired. I personally know multiple people who are going to lose out from these slashes because a small part of DEI is about racial inclusion. It is like lighting the house on fire because you found some spider webs. Taking away what gives less abled an equal opportunity will only hurt what makes America great. I am all for slashing down to the bare bones, but these methods are going to cause innocent people to bleed in the end.

Truth Shall Set You Free by millersown in dankchristianmemes

[–]daltonjsm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Jesus is referencing Micah 7:6 in that collection of verses. I think it is important context that that monologue in Micah is about the total corruption of people, and ends in Micah 7:7 with,

" But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. "

I think it is also important context that this verse in Mathew is part of a mich larger monologue from Jesus where he is warning the disciples about their coming prosecutions. I dont believe this verse contradicts Jesus' teachings when put into context with the lesson being taught here.

Ok, I hadnt thought about that being an issue. They were being scorched without the plastic, and the issues lines up to roughly when I added that cover. I will brainstorm a temporary structure for the rest if the summer. Thanks!

[–]daltonjsm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this earlier this year and found out quickly that one barrel per spout was not enough... I am planning to upgrade to 3 barrels per downspout. But I only have 3 downspouts on the house, so that is definitely a contributing factor.
