Septic tank market hasn't slowed though.

How nice for the Reed family/Green Diamond to be split into 'private family owned timberland' and 'corporate timberland'.

I prefer me the multiplayer environment of Fromsoft games where it's just absolute degeneracy and your own damn pride on the line. Where the sweat and the stupid blurs.

I like how just saying 'Scone of scone' makes you just a little bit genetically Scottish.

Americans have had to invent novel terms to avoid using the 's' or 'c' word with politics. 'Mutual aid' is a term usually used to refer tk grassroots organizing of communities to cover basic needs like food and medicine.

Referring to a common internet scam as 'mutual aid' is doing more work to smear the term than anything.

Bro straight up wants to throw down over tinned beans and rainwater.

I didn't see the original comment nor do I need to, but ethnic nationalism, the 'blood and soil' kind of nationalism, seeks to forge nationality into the same framework as race. Approaching nation states from this perspective is effectively racist, inherently so.

This is compared to civic nationalism where commitment to national values matters. So one could argue that without clarification it is a stretch, but at the same time... it's usually pretty clear which version is meant.

Combine that with the fact that the revolt happened when the Weimar Republic was at its strongest

That I think isn't quite the case. The uprising occurred in the time period after the Armistice and before the 1919 elections. The Weimar government prior to the 1919 elections existed solely on the legitimacy inherited from the Kaiser. The Spartacists were extrajudicially executed a week before the elections. The constution wasn't written until the following summer.

They were operating in the context of the ashes of World War 1 and disintegrating empires. The total collapse of centralized authority and subject nations forming governments independently can hardly be considered 'too early'.

Considering it 'too early' in the sense that roving bands of monarchist paramilitaries were still running amok unchecked and (then legitimized by the government?) Yeah, bad time for all who didn't support Prussian hegemony.

Natural Selection was a quality one.

This is more like polarity shift Antarctica where sea level stays similar to current levels. Way back in college I used melted antarctica with sea level rise for an evolutionary biology seminar. And it is much less interesting.

When I was in fisheries the tuna boats would bring the haul of frozen tuna into port where they'd be weighed, counted, and transferred to a cannery also in port.

A lot were fileted and cut right there too, so not all was straight to can.

Now a lot of the cans stayed fairly together by shipment. So I imagine where a lot code was split across separate pallets or shipments might a single fish be sent to different locations in can form. So I would wager the 'rest' of the tuna is at least on the shelf next to... itself.

As far as waste though? Some companies are super diligent about their waste streams. Fish meals and such have resale value. Others leave large amounts of parts and material in their shop floors and just power wash it back into the marine waters even while being fined and penalized by regulators. So mileage varies there.

Lula isn't feckless, which goes a long way.

I farmed them for a number of years and they are surprisingly versatile. For the most part they taste like your standard manila, its just got a lot of mass compared to most shellfish. Preparation is everything and overcooking gets you a rubbery mass which isn't so great.

I enjoyed slicing the siphon and deep frying them, but at that point it was less flavor than texture what with the beer batter and all, etc.

The Pacific Northwest is the rare exception where some of the remaining tribes are still on or adjacent to their ancestral homes.

Best seviche I ever had was made out of geoduck and from a tailgate after doing a beach cleanup.

Whatever is declared looks like it's going to be 'Oops all insurgency!'

The entire world betrayed Poland. The Allied powers didn't do anything for months. Hell the British and French actually put more effort into helping Finland against the USSR than help Poland against the Third Reich.

I lost the music I made in college to the MySpace database loss/crash/whatever.

Upside: the music I made in college is forever lost.

Just stopping the suppression of anti-facism would go a long way.

The packmule in Dungeon Siege was a good integrated inventory mechanic.

A good game knows to explain game mechanics with lore. Games that break the 4th wall and by knowing they're games tend to struggle to be immersive. It can really obliterate environmental storytelling too.
