Ask them how many bunnies, field mice, and ground squirrels were slaughtered harvesting and tilling those bean fields. Poor little buggers...

I think they just get bopped on the head...

Only the stupid ones get tenderized when beans are harvested since they are straight cut. As for tillage, they just turn in to fertilizer. Keeps the fields green and more productive.

What is bad is when a skunk decides to stand its ground and goes through the combine. It takes acres to get that stench out of the concaves. Those beans we charge extra for as it is used to make the flavored tofu.......

Reason #1046 for not eating tofu...

Have you ever eaten tofu? Like all things - if you prepare it properly it's good. It also takes on the flavor of whatever you give it...

Yes, I’ve eaten it...

I don't really care for it - my wife eats it.

Don't forget that without this process, the seagulls and crows would go hungry. Why do vegans hate the seagulls and crows....

Probably because vegans are racists against omnivores.

No pilot needs to be over ten tears old or be paid!

Huge savings in the cost of training pilots - they're already trained and ready to go!

Vastly improved safety - 80% of aviation accidents are pilot-error

Enormous reductions in the size/cost of overseas bases - all we'd need is a parking lot on an uninhabited piece of land. At last a use for Bouvet Island!

There's a lot of ignorance in these two posts...

But I agree on the overseas bases. I would begin with 100% drawdown in Korea and in Europe. That would knock out a good 75% of our overseas operating costs.

And yeah - why do we need carriers now that China is building them? The Chinese can have their turn at channel Alfred Thayer Mahan and maintain the sea lanes of communication

I'm sure they'll do a bang up job

Don't be such a wet blanket.

People are becoming obsolete for modern warfare, we're the limiting factor now. Drones will be able to pull 20g's very soon.

I've picked up many a hay bale with a snake in it

Garter snakes were a regular occurrence. Got a live rattler once. F that. If it wasn't so dry out I would of started that bale on fire.

One of my brothers once baled a t-post. It went in just right, so that three different bales had sections of post in them. Dad was not amused the next time he inspected the baler's knife.

Only time we make small squares now is for the horse people since they pay extra for being able to handle them. Otherwise it is all round bales. Best part is no more worrying about grabbing a handful of thistles when trying to pickup a bale.

Same here mostly. Square bales are cheaper from the field and some tiny farms use them - you can raise a cow/calf unit on two acres here so there are a fair number of people raising a few head in order to sell enough to fill their freezer at low cost. I've considered haying in the square bale niche but it wouldn't justify the cost of a hay barn, equipment, and pasture improvement, especially at my age. I'm not buying any green bananas...

Missiles fired from planes sporting the Mk I Mod 0 eyeball have been able to pull 20 Gs since around the time of the Vietnam War

And the systems required to control your bot air force will survive exactly 18 minutes in a full on conflict with another power like China. And the technology to deny us that battlefield is rapidly becoming off the shelf tech - soon the benchwarmers will be able to do it

This thread appears to have swerved even more wildly off topic than that one about Hurricane Beryl did.

Maybe you should get it back on track with a 5000 word epistle on Trump then

5,000 words aren't necessary. We need for the Democrats to take control of at least one House of Congress in order to have a situation in which Trump is held accountable and the Justice Department can investigate things without constant harassment from a bunch of Republicans in Congress running interference for a President who is acting like he's guilty of something. Right now it looks like that COULD happen but it's a close call. Let's hope, for the long term good of the country, that we have an economic disturbance around the end of the summer persisting through election day. That would be the best case scenario.

So now leftists are pimping political representation redistribution to go along with their wealth redistribution ideas?

Wealth redistribution can go both ways, Ayn Hornet, and guess which way it’s been going for the last 30 years?

Less democracy via a less powerful middle class is a good thing when you’re at the top.

Yup, just look at all those Rust Belt areas that have been controlled by D's for the better half of the last century. Really did the middle class some wonders.

Yeah...that had zero to do with neo-liberalism, international economics, trade, and conk management.

That's just great. So you are hoping people lose their jobs and companies go out of business (real life negative impacts) just because your feathers are ruffled (emotional impact).
