Technically I'm an archaeologist, I guess.

We can't take you seriously as a harbinger of death or the senior customer support supervisor when your belt and shoes don't even match, Harold.

I love a good aspirational poster ❤️

My biggest hope for Oppenheimer is that it makes high waisted men's dress pants broadly fashionable for a while.

Welcome! My degree is in archaeology, and I really really loved all the work I did in the historical archaeology arena while in school and for a bit afterwards. Your job sounds like what I wish I would have gotten into ten years ago.

Viddy well, y'all

It is a well documented fact that horses only ever want to talk about Bravo shows.

Plus, I'm pretty sure that days are always about 24 hours long 🙃

Eskimos have a kabrillion words for snow.

Indigenous Alaskan/north Canadian languages have a few more words for snow than English, but it's not that that much more.

We're even older than that! There is compelling evidence that Homo Sapiens has existed for 400k years, and there's unprovocative evidence that we've been around for 250k years or so.

I'd love to see "whacks" make its way to the US and replace "slams" and "blasts" in our goofy headlines.

I'll take three

They do the even/odd thing in my area, as well. A couple years ago it was super bad, and there was a full ban for like a whole month. I think people were getting fined a surprising amount for watering.

After a few years of that to set the tone, watering one's grass has kinda become unfashionable. At least in urban areas like mine.

You do need to water it pretty aggressively at first, or be lucky and have daily rain for about a week. ALSO, the first year is kinda underwhelming in general. It really tool off in subsequent years for us. This is our fourth (I think?) year of the clover lawn and it's really nice now.

Good luck with yours!

Next they'll be telling us there's a North Carolina 🤣

I am sorry I was not 100% precise with my internet words. I will go count the minority of lawns in my neighborhood that don't look like shit after work and report back with exactly how many lawns look bad, how many look just okay, and how many are lush and green.

I retract my overarching point, made via a personal anecdote and which I presumed was clear, that a more sustainable lawn is looked down upon by many people who favor turfgrass while demonstrating characteristics that those same people generally find desirable.

Edit It also might not have been a full ton of clover. It may have only been ten pounds of seed. Excuse the hyperbole.

We have a chunk of our yard (about 30x60') dedicated to tall prairie grass! I planted it a few years ago not thinking about how prairies aren't terribly wildflower-dense.

It was disappointing at first for not being so vibrant, but it's where our dragonflies like to chill so now it's the area I'll protect first. I've even considered watering it a few times when it was very dry, despite drought resistance being part of the point.

We introduced a ton of clover into our lawn 4 years ago and have been letting it self-seed & spread. It's been great.

My boomer-y neighbors don't like it and make comments, but ours is the only green lawn for several blocks because it hasn't rained for shit all summer. Plus we have wildflower areas so we also have all kinds of bumblebees, butterflies, and dragonflies cruising around.

I have the normal human amount

Not very much. I took two years of it in college, but I'm a poor student of language even by United States standards. I was a middling speaker, and my reading & writing comprehension was frankly pathetic. How come?

Twin Cities represent!
