  • I've gotten shit for taking apart the filter screen on my toilet's filler and cleaning out the sediment when I could just spend $20 to replace it. It's really not even that hard once you figure out the trick for spreading the clips holding it together. They really didn't want this to be user fixable.

  • The cars at least could be hand waved that they could have been before Musk went maskoff, but the Cybertrucks, like the one pictured are from well after that and what I think we're all talking about. Cybertruck owners are making a very different political statement compared to the early car owners.

  • The site is down now, but I'll point out that that policy probably gets used more for filtering out religious people who might take issue with selling queer, feminism, or even rock music related items.

  • I was thinking the "no comment" policy could just have been them working though the process to shut down their participation. A more direct statement would have been preferable, but it doesn't surprise me that they would rather get their ducks in a row before making an official statement.

  • We don’t see farmers today getting farming advice from the church. They get it from other farmers.

    uh, they get it from the ag departments from their state/local universities. They didn't have universities back then.

    Also, while most farmers probably knew not to do hybrids back then, the consequences of loosing an entire year's harvest of a stable crop would mean famine for the tribe. You can't just ask for half of a neighboring village's seed stock. It was important enough to make it a sin.

  • No. The seed thing is explicitly so the farmers could grow the same crop from year to year. If you grow a cucumber in the same plot as squash, the seeds from both will be a hybrid and not give you anything useful. Cucurbits are notoriously easy to hybridize and create useless offspring. The genetic mechanics wouldn't have been know, but you would still see the results. People needed to live in groups then and now. No farmer would ever be able to be completely self sufficient regardless, especially then.

    I was thinking more along the lines of shellfish for a primarily desert people or the Rabbi being the defacto food inspector.

  • A lot of old testament stuff had to do with hygiene. Look at all the kosher rules regarding food. Deut. 22:9 also forbids growing mixed crops, which likely had to do with the chance of crossbreeds being infertile and the inability for Bronze/Iron Age tribes being able to replace seed stock quickly enough.
