I remember seeing it when it made it to DVD at some point and not making it all the way through the movie due to not enjoying it. I never tried to rewatch it after the fact.

I mean, a lot of people do jump in with little or no research and try to spend their way out of problems. That is definitely not good, particularly when animals and animal welfare is involved.
It’s really an acreage with a garden and some animals, but they call it a farm, and aren’t really interested in the actual farms.
I mean… are we gatekeeping farms now? I’m trying to feed my family and hopefully have enough to sell (starting next year, anyway; we moved here too late this year and I’m still learning my land). In my case, no animals for now (though chickens are in the cards for next year and maybe we’ll do something else the following year).
I do plan to commercially farm, though I also plan to keep my day job for the foreseeable future. Market gardeners with a good market can make quite a lot off of the ~5000sqm of farmland like I have, but there’s no market that’s going to be good for that in rural Japan. The best case scenario for being commercially successful in that way would be to network with chefs in the bigger cities, but I have neither the talent nor reputation for that (nor would I want to commit to that until at least another year or two when I can confirm stability). I do have friends who run a restaurant who are willing to pay for some of what I am growing if it works out, and another lead in the nearest big city (~1 hour away), but that’s it.
I’m outside nearly every single day preparing, cultivating, sowing, harvesting, etc. and treat it like a job. I just harvested ~15kg of potatoes this morning (literally one of the first things I did when moving here was get those in the ground) and a few kilos of green onions. Am I not at least a part-time farmer? The local government says I am, in any case (buying registered farmland in Japan is a process, lemme tell ya).
Simple, repetitive work that doesn’t follow any predictable schedule
I have multiple spreadsheets, have to monitor and adjust to a lot of different conditions, have to actively monitor pests and plant growth and react to those (and predict for the next year and be proactive), and a bunch of other stuff. Farming tends to very much follow a predictable schedule insofaras you know in any given season what you will be doing and what you need to be getting ready for.
I think that really depends on both the IT role as well as the type and scale of farm. If someone has a really stressful workplace in IT but makes enough money to buy a farm and semi-retire, it could just be that having the farm supplements their food and doesn’t need to turn a profit. It’s very different to, say, a subsistence farmer or one who has to make a lot to pay for mortgage, retirement, etc.
As a software developer who started a farm this year, I’m getting a kick…
/ Still keeping my day job, though.
https://genius.com/Mrs-green-apple-columbus-lyrics with google translate should get you there. I tried to listen to the song to verify but it’s awful and I’m not subjecting myself to that.
I could also imagine the missionaries that were coming over described the American Indians in such a way and it just kinda went from there in collective memory.
Two to three meals a day, almost no snacks, generally a decent amount of fiber. Mom’s basically the same and I think grandmother was. Mom has been diagnosed with various forms of IBS. Dad has Celiac’s and a DNA test I took said increased risk.
If I go keto, almost all the issues disappear. Trying to do that is basically impossible whilst living with my wife because I can’t just not make food and not keep anything I shouldn’t eat in the house (my willpower eventually crumbles when I’m busy or stressed).
I’ll make up for it since I’m usually 3x/day.
Previously, I coded something in Rust real quick to spit out and manipulate some JSON, but it looks like the jq/yq below would work fine.
I am now picturing someone flying a plane in the form of window blinds.
It’s almost as though they label all rooms so people know what they are and don’t go in the wrong one.

Here’s the XKCD: https://xkcd.com/327/
Japan
*Private corporation. The government was separated from religion in many ways in the post war and Yasukuni is actually owned by a private organization.
The whole thing is further complicated by it basically being kinda like Arlington Cemetery except that it also contains some really reprehensible people (though I’m sure Arlington isn’t free of that, either). I’ve never been personally.
That’s crazy. I don’t raise chickens right now, but I do follow a lot of farm/homestead content with people who do raise poultry for meat. I had considered raising my own egg-layers (just a couple) since I have plenty of space for them to run around and delicious bugs to eat. I have no idea what breeds we have here in Japan, though, for any use case.
Are these the same breed of chicken? For example, Cornish Cross or American Breast or something? If not, it does feel kinda weird comparing them. If they are all the same base breed, that’s some totally crazy selection going on there.
For clarity/example, comparing a Cornish Cross from 1970 against one from 2000 is different than comparing a Cornish Cross from 1970 against an American Breast in 2000. I just wanted to clarify what was being compared.
It at least could have put SEPTember at month 7, OCTOber at month 8, etc. whilst it was fixing things.
No more space zone? Spaghetti, ziti, etc.?
/ Greedy regex is greedy
We are polar opposites; I almost never want something not in fullscreen, hah. I’ve been using a mac for work for a bit over a year now and hate it.
Still voting against trump, even if the alternative is a baked potato with googly eyes glued on it; trump is too dangerous, particularly with the recent Supreme Court rulings.
