That’s one case study. He lists many more where throwing an epsilon at a floating point problem is the wrong solution.

Hand pulling is feasible on far more than small yards

I have 3.3 acres.

Hand pulling is feasible on far more than small yards

Why try and create a patch of wildflowers if you’re just going to spray herbicides all over it though? It defeats the purpose of the wildflowers!

That was my point! I refused to use herbicide to give the illusion of natural. So called wildflowers are rarely natural. If they were, they’d already outcompete local flora and wouldn’t need to be planted and maintained.

I also volunteer at the local nature preserve where everything is hand done. Not even power tools are used there. I’m well aware of what’s needed for hand maintenance.

if those thorn bushes are native plants

I suspect the reason those thorn bushes grow is they’re probably not native. But they out complete everything.

How many acres and were there already large weeds?

How is tilling, planting seeds, and watering idiocy?

I said in my post that it is multi acre. The photos above aren’t small yards where hand pulling is feasible.

Years ago I tried very hard for the upper picture. The staff at the nursery store all laughed and said I’d need to soak the ground with complete kill herbicide for a year and then plant wild flowers after everything was completely dead in the window between the herbicide half life and weeds taking back over. Then it would require maintenance herbicide to keep native plants from killing off the wild flowers.

They were right. A year of tilling, planting wildflower seeds, and watering gave me a bumper crop of the nastiest 7’ tall thorn bushes.

That upper photo of a patch of nice wildflowers is as artificial as turf. It’s still better for bees etc but the amount of herbicide needed to maintain it is why I now just mow. I do leave some acres unmowed but it’s barely habitable. It needs occasional full mowing so that the thorn bushes don’t become a problem to wildlife.

America has plenty of oil. You just have to come and take it. Lazy Irish Truckers.

Russia’s most important objective for Ukraine is denazification.

Russia invaded with Wagner named after Hitler’s favorite composer. Russian became a far right Nazi country under Putin.

There was a time when Russia considered joining NATO.

it is totally unacceptable and this is the exact reason of Russian aggression towards Ukraine.

If Ukraine wanted to ally with another country, that’s their right. If Russia treated them better they’d choose Russia over the EU. Just like countries are choosing China over the US.

If you think Russia invading Ukraine is fine because it is in Russia’s economic interests then you must also believe the US blockading Cuba and attacking Venezuela is also fine.

It’s Western Propaganda that Ukraine hasn’t been defeated by Russia? Wtf copium are you on?

Trump is a pedophile who betrayed Ukraine. That was clear 10 years ago when he tried to blackmail Ukraine.

.ml lemmy’s really are different breed

It’s become clear over the past several years that many ml users aren’t pro communism or against the US. They are only pro Russia/China.

They want Ukraine to fall to Russia even if the US isn’t involved.

Do you really think Russia is failing,

4 years into a 3 day special military operation to annex. Yes Russia has failed.

the resources would definitely shift from Ukraine

Trump has already abandoned Ukraine and the EU has filled in.

Russia can simply annex Ukraine.

Wtf? Russia has been trying and failing for YEARS.

quantum theory, however, the definition of the observer is far less clear: is it a measuring device, a human, the brain, or consciousness itself?

It’s extraordinarily clear except for fraudsters peddling woo.

An observer is an interaction. It doesn’t need to be a measuring device. It certainly doesn’t need to be a brain or a consciousness. It is ridiculously absurd to believe that quantum effects only started in the universe when the first human looked at it.

Ugh. What a word fest. It reads like lightly edited ai slop.

When searching for the lead I found incoherent sentences but eventually: Cabal Cut now. (Maybe on torrents? Does anyone know?) In May a new Blu-ray release of the full version.

Trump killed two civilians as a threat. Literal terrorist.

Artemis is an ai fake. You can tell by the pixels that Maisy Williams wasn’t watching the launch like that.

The 1969 moon landing was real because we didn’t have the technology to fake it.

Why would you boot Win 3.1 to do a render?

The first version of Bryce for Windows was for NT4 in 1997. The last version from 2010 still runs on Windows 11.

If you are running Win 3.1 on modern hardware, I don’t think you care about maximizing performance of your 30 year old software. Even without multi threaded software, the CPU is still over 100x faster than a 1992 66mhz 486.

Price? I got an Epson 3 LCD 6 months ago that I like. My previous color wheel projector was never great. I could always see rainbows on fast moving objects.
