Because "sterile" exotics often have a seed production rate at >0% in the best scenarios.
Why introduce an invasive species into the environment when there are plenty of natives that will do the trick? Stop being so lax with noxious weed contamination risks.

I drive a prius as my main farm vehicle and for my factory job. With fold down seats I haven't had any issues with hauling stuff.

If I'm doing a project that requires 4x8 sheets or 12' long boards I get them delivered or I rent a truck.

Hello,

I recently had a coworker mention, " You can't just smash Japanese beetles because it will only attract more through a pheromone they release when dying."

Is this actually a thing or is he misremembering some old gossip's tale?

Thanks, DrHugsyMcFur

Forget your "dying clean" baloney. Stop fetishizing a civil war.

I've got things I want to do in the coming years that don't involve dying to some right wing death squad or dysentery.

What's management supposed to do? Hang a sign?

People who play phone speakers in public can't read!

Have you ever had a job? Hardly anyone visits the office bathroom for a 45 min long dump.

1a. Trust me, my shits are violent aggressive.

1b. I'll take your advice and whisper my complaints through the door crack. Maintaining eye contact the whole time. We'll even have a firm handshake afterwards.

The work bathroom is currently a warzone, on their phone speakers people like to play music, play games at full blast, and one guy likes to chill to ambient rainforest. What song can I play to passive aggressively make it known that I don't want to listen to their tik tok feeds while I work out my demons?

I can see that this is super funny to you, but some people with chronic allergies can't enjoy their vacations or go about their lives because inconsiderate people demand to bring their pets to public areas such as hotels or stores.

In the American system you need more than just a majority in congress to pass a resolution like federal abortion legalization.

At no time under Obama did Democrats have 60 seats in the senate. They had 57 seats and 2 independents who caucused with them.

This is not enough seats to overcome a filibuster which would be required to legalize abortion in all the states. They would have required 1 Republican to vote with the Democrats on this topic and I think even in the kinder political times that Republican would have been strung up on a light pole when they returned back to their home district.

Can dolphins or whales live in fresh water?

They don't need to breathe in water so assuming they have enough prey I don't see why the water's saltinity affects them.

But then why don't we have dolphins playing in the Mississippi river?

I canned a few cups of apples this fall. Now that I pull the apples out for some baking, i find that my apples are just barely more firm than applesauce.

Does anyone have any tips on keeping apples firm after canning?

Satisfactory, it's so much fun, but looking forward to the endgame builds is super daunting.

That is not how Western cattle farming works. As someone in the industry I can confidently say that no cow sold to a processor get a majority of their calories through grazed uncultivated grassland.

That is a feasible strategy for subsistence farming, but not in our for-profit farming model.

Attempting to can apples for the first time and I am pretty confident that I filled the can up to the 1/2" point before the headspace starts. But after I pulled them out of the canner I have a good 1" of only liquid that the apples are floating on.

Did I do something wrong?

Is there a good way to really pack apples into the can before they go into the canner to avoid this wasted space?

Pal, I live/work on a farm. There is no reason that fixing the issues with a car-centric society in urban areas should be an issue for my lifestyle.
