His match.
I have mixed feelings, but it's nice to get the farmers' perspectives. // "Scenes from the New American Dustbowl" https://medium.com/matter...
It's a strange feeling; I was raised on a farm and appreciate the farmers' plight, but I am also an environmentalist. It's a complex problem and I don't think it's fair to put all the blame on 'water hog' farmers. I feel this is one small part of the larger problem with how we do industrial agriculture in the United States. I have driven through the Central Valley so many times and marveled at the types of crops grown there. I don't understand what the thought process was at the time to allow the planting of such irrigation-intensive crops. Maybe they thought the water would never run out? Perhaps. More frustrating still is that I think the prime farmland in the midwest should be our salad bowl, not our corn and soybean bowl. Let farmers in California practice more dryland farming and leave the water-intensive crops to areas that have more predictable precipitation. It drives me absolutely crazy, this Russian roulette we play with our food supply so that some mega farms can keep politicians in office. They are hurting people and jeopardizing the food security of the nation. I want Melly to punch them in the nuts. >.< - Jenny H.
I don't know how the current system can be fixed. It's going to have to change, though, if California becomes more arid on a long-term basis. On another note, a lot of the land in my state that had been set aside for grassland bird conservation has since been withdrawn from that program and planted with corn since the price of corn is so high. - John (bird whisperer)
Well, this was unexpected.
Good morning, survivors! - Jenny H.
God morgen, Penny. :) - Jenny H.
Good night, errybody!
Goodnight, Jenny. <3 - Kristin
good night - Lo
Eivind got me drunk on my last FF night. :|
I had to abandon him outside with some weegies. - Jenny H.
Yes. It was. :D - Jenny H.
I'm doing my first pub quiz!!
An FF pub quiz would be awesome. Let's do that at the reunion. - Kristin
If they would just ask me for the interlude music! Pet Shop Boys! Queen and David Bowie! I got this! - Jenny H.
Heaven help us. Eivind wants to go out to the pub. Pray for us sinners.
Probably should pray for them not y'all. :P - CAJ was here
Y'all, I wish you could have been privy to this conversation I just had with Eivind. I asked him to explain the plots of Dirty Dancing, Footloose, and Vision Quest (since he claimed to have watched them). His plot lines were DOS MUCHOS.
Dirty Dancing- takes place in the 60's on the Colorado Plateau. Patrick Swayze is humping things. - Jenny H.
I'm too tipsy to respond coherently anymore. - Jenny H.
Final tally here from Micah's thread (http://friendfeed.com/micahwi...): Comment to like ratio is 0.71 (119004 comments, 167755 likes). Although I am wondering what it would have looked like had I not deleted 2/3rds of my posts. #derrickhrm
Responsible Jenny is supposed to be reading Viable Populations for Conservation. Actual Jenny can't stop friendfeeding.
I should be working, but I can't stop either. - Maitani
Maitani. <3 John, excellent point! Melly, true enough! - Jenny H.
Laboriously filling out proprietary job application forms for every effing job. Why, yes, I am really looking forward to individually adding my fifteen relevant courses/workshops (including dates, descriptions, and institutions) for your position. WHY CAN'T I JUST UPLOAD MY CV, YOU ARSEHOLES? *throws epic unemployed tantrum*
I jump on every possible job opportunity I can find, but each application takes between 3-4 hours. So tiring. :( - Jenny H.
It will. - Stephan Planken
There is a job listing for "Reindeer Apprentices" from the Norwegian Department of Labor. I'm sort of tempted to apply. "IS THIS WHERE I APPLY TO BECOME A REINDEER?"
There is also one for a "milkmaid." Oh, Norway... - Jenny H.
Exactly. :) - Jenny H.
I now know the cmd lines for Claudio's scripts by heart. That's something, right?
PHP is a useful skill! - Stephen Mack
I was learning it before I gave up on web design completely. I'm just glad I am technical enough to not freak out about editing scripts and running things from the cmd prompt. :) - Jenny H.
yes, it is something. - .mau.
I'm trying to 'like' posts on Micah's FF Memorial. Doh! >__>

Last #tbt on FF. That one time FF overwhelmed me with emotion. <3 <3 <3

It's April 9th. I don't know how it's going to end, but it's been an honor, y'all. I'll never be able to describe how much this community has meant to me. Even with all the drama, the nonsense, the bickering- you're so much better than anything else I have found on the interwebs. Thank you for having my back all of these years. #FForever
<3 - Maitani
Gah! As much as I don't want to go to bed right now (and find this place gone in the morning), it has to be done. God natt, FF! Either see you here tomorrow or on frenf.it, FB, or Twitter! Have fun with your last day here! :)
not day, but rather hours :'( - Halil
*hugs* <3 - Anne Bouey
Sorry to be doing this at the 11th hour, but these are the places you can connect with me on the interwebs:
Because I trust you folks, you can also email me at taoofcoffee at gmail dot com. :) - Jenny H.
I'm starting to feel really anxious about the shutdown. Even though I am set up on frenf.it and already friends with most of you on FB or Twitter, I just feel yucky about FF not being here. I'll adapt; we all will, but the date is looming and I can't help but feel really weird about it. Like Kristin mentioned, this place is like a secret fort on...
the internet that just felt like our place. :-/ - Jenny H.
<3 - Cristo
It occurred to me that we were doing it wrong, so let's try this again. Cheers, FF! We love you! #cheersff #fforever
