Resistance to herbicides/pesticides/antibiotics is a big loving deal y'all. Gotta have rules and regulations in place so the valuable tools we depend on for modern live don't stop working completely.

Bbbbbbut my beef cattle/chicken/corn/soybean prices......

I'm surprised round-up is still so widely used. It's been around 20 odd years now and still works well enough, but I'd have thought a resistance would have built faster.

The market here is hilarious. There's no way in loving hell I'd buy a house in the Springs. It's more and more looking like I'll be hunting out land on the edge of the front range to slap a cabin on and a giant no trespassing sign on the cattle gate crossing my driveway. I'll be happy with a couple of acres tucked in the foothills.

Even then, it's still going to be in the neighborhood of $150k to do what I want, assuming septic will be involved. Cheaper than a starter/start-over home around here.

According to Zillow I should be able to sell my place for about 190k, having paid 142k for it in 2013. While tempting, I’m fortunate enough to have a fairly decent backyard in midtown memphis and any place I would move to would be nothing more than a lateral move house wise for more $

Sell house, pay a year rent up front, watch the market crash and buy a nicer place.

I have a friend outside Nashville who plans to move out here in about 18 months. He's getting calls with offers, though he's not wanting to sell yet. He bought at $120k, offers have been hitting around $200k. I keep telling him to sell the drat place and chill in an apartment with a garage for a year so he doesn't have to sell while in the middle of a down market and moving 1200 miles.

Lol thanksgiving. So glad I did my yearly trip back east last month. I'm done tolerating political conversation unless I actively have a lit joint or hash pen in my hand. Which is fine when I go see my Trump crazy uncle, because he'll wrangle up the family potheads and we'll all make fun of each other while getting high.

One of the younger trimmers at work mentioned wanting to buy a bitcoin (like it was a physical thing he could stuff in his pocket) friday before last. It was still around $5800ish or whatever at the time. Last friday I asked him if he'd looked at the price recently, gotta a shrug in response. Asked again today, another shrug.

I think he bought some bitcoin after he mentioned it 10~ days ago. I gave him a good rundown on how it's just a modern tulip mania (no clue what that was) or like beanie babies in the 90s, the day he mentioned it. He was also of the belief that beanie babies were still valuable.

Goddamn, how it must be, to be 21 and gullible as gently caress.

One thing I really enjoy, that I learned in the military, was how to tell someone to subtly gently caress themselves when the consequences of doing so are severe.

Kinda like this officer. He did good.

I learned a bit of that too, but found it's more therapeutic to just be blunt.

Like when I was offered a job for a company I worked for prior, I could've easily said no thank you, call the next guy on the books. But no, I had to say I'd rather run backwards naked through a corn field than work for them goddamn clowns again. And a week or two later I left that union anyhow. It just felt better to express it off hip, considering how loving sloppy that union was at the time.

This slow motion crypto crash is like watching the silver market scrape bottom a few years ago after it was at a high around $50/oz. It's $14~ right now. My brother is still sitting on more bars of it than he's willing to talk about because he paid above $40/oz for them before the drop years ago. Except silver doesn't have as certain a bottom as all of cryptos zeroes.
