This only works if you subtract 175 from your sports budget for the next 4 years. The problem with this thinking is that in 2 years you'll forget this commitment you made to yourself and end up giving yourself that full 500 again. Thus spending more money

40% of corn grown goes to produce ethanol. [1] The silage by product is then sent to feed cattle.

Your first interpretation is correct. Though some of the different people every day might have also had a headache the previous day.
For some context, in the book Omnivores Dilemma, author Michael Pollan states that an orange that our grandparents ate as kids had 5x the nutritional value as an orange today.

Amazing book, everyone should go read it.

Cocoapods as well. Though I feel like it's getting less and less use with SPM on the rise
Re:Soil bacteria could improve crop yields, via fungi on Wednesday April 07, 2021 @09:25AM (#26724560)
Chicken manure is high in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. By moving his birds behind his cattle, he is adding nutrients back into the soil that are being used by the crops that are grown afterwards. On top of that, the birds are scratching and spreading the cow manure which are full of other nutrients that are being removed by crops.

I disagree. The farmer mentioned above is Gabe Brown and he operates over 5000 acres and operates a closed loop. He grazes the fields which he plants crops in which he feeds to grain based animals such as pigs and chickens.

Hardly a home gardner.

I find that as I get more familiar with a stack and start solving more "complex" problems, then documentation and blogs are the way to go. But if I'm learning something new and need to change the background color if a button blue then usually stack overflow is the fastest place to figure that out.
Re:TikTok: All under-16s' accounts made private on Wednesday January 13, 2021 @08:48AM (#25761887)
Not a tiktok user, but I know instagram also fills your explore feed with the content that your friends like. So even if you're tailoring your likes to appropriate posts, your friends may not be.
Then they need to stop toting this as a food solution for inner cities, food deserts, and a way to decrease miles on your food.

Last I checked, weed and shrooms don't make a balanced diet

If you have an outdoor cat, you absolutely need to put a bell or something that jingles on it's collar. The sound will alert the birds and give them time to escape.

A perfect example: Xcode. Each major release is a nightmare and only after a year of bug fixes is it usable. And then another major release and it's broken again.
You can't plow a mountain side and grow acres of corn or build a feedlot. But you can run cattle and sheep over it which are able to forage the grasses while climbing the terrain.

So mountainous people are able to obtain calories from animals in places otherwise unsuitable for more conventional farming methods.

While true that factory farms are a nightmare, lab grown meat is not the only alternative. There are plenty of regenerative farms out there that produce quality product in the most humane and environmentally beneficial way possible. Check out Polyface Farm in VA or Brown Ranch in ND for examples.
