I fail to see how sharing memes is a bad thing. Lemmy is a great community, its leagues better than what Reddit was, even in its heyday, and certainly better than the shit-buffet it has become.
While OC is great, it’s really tough to make, especially at the frequency needed to provide new content and keep people interested. Further, 90% (or something) of people on here lurk, with the remaining 10% split between commentators and posters.

Wheel of time movies or TV show THE RIGHT FUCKING WAY
I know, but it’s insanity to fire a weapon on a strip ft wide imo. Bow hunting, I guess.
Speaking of, I was out surveying a bunch of river lots like this. The ones I was in were a bit wider - maybe like 200 m x 1200 m kind of thing. They often have cross country ski trails though them, which is a godsend if you’re used to crashing though the understory or regenerating bullshit.
The other thing that was interesting to me was how much human activity these parcels (and the area I was in) had. Old barbed wire growing though trees, junk cars. Toilet seats. Maple syrup operations, murder shacks, you name it. Mindboggling to a guy used to not seeing more than UTV tracks from other crews, or cutlines in terms of disturbance.
Anyway, I was winding my way through one of these river lots and I came across a small wooden box, a bunch of apples, and this pink rock that did not match the regional geology at all. I walked about 10 steps before my inner nerd took over and I went over to look at the rock.
I am holding this thing, turning it over in my hand and I’m like ‘WTF. this thing looks like a stupid pink healing salt lamp thing you see at a massage clinic.’ I keep turning it over and look at the bottom of the rock. It’s totally flat. It’s definitely some healing crystals bullshit but why the fuck is it here? This is the most random thing ever.
I set it down. Grab my gear, get ready to stand up. And boom.
Trail cam on a stick. Face level to me kneeling.
The reality that this is a salt lick and bait station for deer comes crashing home like a ton of bricks. And I’m on camera like an idiot. Guess the station works.
The guy must have laughed his ass off when he collected the camera and reviewed it:
dude walks into frame. Dude walks out of frame. Dude re-enters frame. Dude kneels down fucks with salt lick, with visible confusion on face. Dude looks at camera and realizes he’s a moron
Fuck me.
I get it, but there’s a logic to it being so long if you think about it: flooding. You want river access without risking your house getting washed away. As I said, it’s an old lot layout method - like from the mid 1800s or earlier, with ties to how things were laid out in France originally.
Also, ‘great for hunting’ in the ad. Lmao.
OP discovers river lots. Lots like this are an old design, that allowed everyone access to the river while giving you a decent amount of land. They are very common in Ontario, and such.
They are also a fucking nightmare if you’re doing any sort of survey in the area, that requires land access because for a given area, you now have to negotiate with 350 land owners instead of like 30.
I like the Viking boat room - it’s the one that looks the least like Sheogorath sneezed in it.
If a sleeve tattoo was a house
That helped, kind of but I can’t get the gallery app to replace it.
Do you still get cravings? I hear they never leave you.
How do I do the multiple account thing
Honestly, it makes more sense - what am I, a mid-level scientist, going to bring to that corporate atmosphere? You’re going to ask me to brainstorm in a meeting with an Executive VP? Yeah. Fucking. Right.
You give me work, I do the work. Yes I might need to ask a question, but that’s uncommon and I can just teams for that.
The seniors execs? That makes sense. They need to all be on the same page, and talking to each other. Collaborating etc.
Dad was drunk, I suspect
We should have gone nuclear, at least for the short term.
I fully support solar and wind but I don’t think it’s a one size fits all at this point. I think solar needs to get a lot more efficient and better to cover all the applications that oil and gas and coal do.
Even renewables need mining (sadly) which has significant impacts.
What if we constantly subsidized industries that made our climate unlivable?
Nuclear is a sound option. We already deal with mining wastes that must be managed in perpetuity. Nuclear waste isn’t much different in that regard.
Your point about landscapes also happens in mining.
I lived through this one, as a kid. It sucks all around. I’m now older than my parents when they split, and have an assload of insight into the matter. I carefully watched the whole thing unfold over 25 years, before I was out of the ordeal, living on my own, and away from watching the two people I cared about most be nothing but complete shitbags to one another.
They’re happy now, why can’t you also be happy with them?
Oh how wonderful, maybe at one point they can sit around the campfire, eat smores, and sing kumbaya
There is no way you should do this. Not only are you clearly having reservations to begin with, but you need to keep your dignity intact, too. The whole affair is just going to be rubbed in your face. You deserve better than that.
While your ex may be coming from a ‘good place’ she shouldn’t have asked, out of respect.
Your kid has feelings about the divorce but he’s going to have to adapt to this new reality that your ex chose for him. It is her fault he’s going to be disappointed, not yours.
It’s only going to get worse here.
This is the predecessor of the Argo.
which are a staple for any bush work. Want to get there? Take an argo. Dollar for dollar, and pound for pound an argo is the way to go. Sherps
And haglands
Can go a few more places and can ford rivers, but they are $150k machines. Argos are 30k and can cross still water.
