How effective is this?

Here's the Costco order. (The items marked $0 are substitutions in case there is a supply chain issue.) Last year the distribution was nearly 35 tons of food. The "leftovers" from when a case doesn't split perfectly - those go to hungry folks too.

So, this is... somewhat pedantic but also important. One does not have to be NEUTRAL on a subject to be OBJECTIVE about the subject.

I think that missing this distinction may be a small part of the journalistic decay.

The largest part, of course, is that news media is corpo-aligned and not neutral

Not ones that use this naming, no.

my personal favourite 'hubris of man: gothic edition" is beauvais cathedral in france, of which they only built a third because it kept collapsing, and has been held up by temporary braces since, uh, the 1990s. genuinely you should go see it before it collapses because it will

the thing about tech like this is that it fails. a lot. power cuts occasionally, wifi signal is bad, a sheep chews a cable, a software update blows the system. so much of what we do in longterm building conservation is low-tech because it works and is reliable.

again that is not an exaggeration. the Normans built Winchester on a floating log raft and when those logs decayed, the Edwardians sent a guy to plug the holes with cement except they'd been burying bodies for centuries already so it was just like. corpse soup

I mentioned this to a coworker and how it's been disproven as a good method but is still being used. He's like they're not teaching my kid that, we're in a good school district. Then he mentioned his kid is being taught to reference images first and I'm that sounds like it, you should really check.

WHOA. Super cool.

Needless to say it was a lot of food at the time! 😂

We ended with ~136 bags out of this, enough to feed 3 whole classrooms:

No wonder some of y'all asshats are fucking illiterate and you can't be bothered to read a whole book instead of skimming. No one taught you to actually read.

Is this is three-cueing nonsense why I run across shit like a fic where the writer said they used "feld" instead of "folded" because it sounds better and makes more sense?

Note: 'Feld' is not a past tense of 'to fold'. It means 'field'. I looked it up. As you do when encountering unfamiliar words.

ok one last post -- oldheads are always going to "why is the web dying.... how can we get the kids invested in the free and open web"

bro the kids can't read. that's why the web is dying. first things first
