All I can guess is our farmers haven’t been given any initiative to sell to a middle man (store) that marks up. In essence, a farmer’s market is supposed to be like going directly to the manufacturer and telling the retailer to fuck off. The farmer is happy, I’m happy, it works.
If your farmer’s markets are expensive, I’m guessing it may be novelty or hobbiest produce out to make a quick buck of a trend.
Yeah. I don’t have large space, but grow my winter and my summer vegetables, then obviously herbs. Plenty for two people. All I need to do is get meat.
Literally about to have a meal now and it’ll be eggs benedict on toast with spinach and mushrooms. Only thing not from the yard or friends is the bread.
Or I could go down the road and get the same meal, shittier, for $20.
Edit: Didn’t even use the bread. Decided to go omlette. But I did slot some sliced ham in there which was also store bought.
Yeah I know. It’s the same with beers too. But you gotta find the places and directly order them or ask a distributor in the country to grab them. It’s not something you can just grab from the shelf at the local store like other whisky countries.
I feel like you’re kind of proving my point here. Looking at the dollars and sales.
So what percentage of that was the really good whiskey distilleries most people haven’t even heard of vs the big ones that supply the world with the novelty of American whiskey?
Well, let’s be honest. American whiskey isn’t very popular outside of NA. It’s a mixer whisky but only for those that want a whiskey and Coke. There’s just far better done elsewhere on the planet.
But an American whiskey is for when people feel like that Hollywood western Americana vibe. It’s a novelty.
Even in USA media, the JD bottle is always used in the “hit rock bottom” scene.
I dunno who’d ever want to use that font as an override for the default.
This is the way, though.
Grow your own = Insanely cheap, very easy, super delicious.
Farmer’s market = Cheap, convenient, super delicious and big.variety.
Friends with chickens = Delicious high quality free eggs offloaded onto you every week.
Grocery store = Low quality crap; twice the price. An unpleasant experience of other miserable people and awful music. A chore of a thing to do. The whole layout trying to be themed like a fancy farmer’s market but you can’t even find the plum vinegar!
Really? Well, shit…
gets more ammo and this time some hydration packs
Wait. People were actually planning to go?
How much more anti-American can the USA get?
Ah, illiteracy.
There can be benefits to a monarchy; the UK hasn’t seen them in a while.
It’s providing a service for millions of businesses of all scale, at a cost they are happy with, which pays AWS infrastructure off. AI data centres are very much not doing this.
Considering IBM only deals with large scale research and business services these days—which is why we don’t know them as a home brand anymore—Im going with those guys being right.
All the hyperscalers together could potentially add about 100 gigawatts, he estimated, but that still requires $8 trillion in investment—and the profit needed to balance out that investment is immense.
“It’s my view that there’s no way you’re going to get a return on that, because $8 trillion of capex [capital expenditure] means you need roughly $800 billion of profit just to pay for the interest,” he said.
lol
“I think it’s clear the deceased handcuffed themself and decided to just sit this one out. By staying very still, Mr Parkington had no knowledge of the deceased’s presence and eventually they succumbed to aparhy.”
Pipe bombs and the decomposed body of a handcuffed male were also found, the latter likely involving foul play, police said.
Foul play, you say? 😲
Sounds like a line dancing move.
Cowgirls do the dosey dee!
Cowboys do the dozy don!
Spin around and heel on three!
Rock it back, now 1, 2, 3! heel click!
YEEEEHAW!! 🤠🎻💤
Ah, okay. Good to know. I dismissed the alert because it was after a recent update on the TV which also installed an Advertisement ID that allowed for AV ads on the home screen as soon as I turned it on. Definitely been in a “What bullshit is this now?” mode.
It’s funny that the mindset has shifted to distrusting Google and Sony this much based on all the times they’ve tried to sneak things in or block the things that block them. Kind of like a persistent but low-level malware themselves, it’s likely I’ll dismiss/block their next attempt as I usually do. Having a warning from them is like listening to the boy that cried wolf, sort of.
Well it’s pointless engaging with them any further. So become an actual bot.
Create a ChatGPT conversation, give the context and ask for a reply. See how long you can keep it up by telling the bot what reply you got from them next. You barely have to do anything, just copy+paste.
Its more fun to not even read anything that’s going on until the end.
Also, block ML already.
Yep. Did this recently actually lol.
But also commonly known as a war thing, done to render the enemy’s land infertile. Can’t grow food for a while and stuff.
Neither of these things really make much sense in context, though.
