I know, but it’s insanity to fire a weapon on a strip ft wide imo. Bow hunting, I guess.

Speaking of, I was out surveying a bunch of river lots like this. The ones I was in were a bit wider - maybe like 200 m x 1200 m kind of thing. They often have cross country ski trails though them, which is a godsend if you’re used to crashing though the understory or regenerating bullshit.

The other thing that was interesting to me was how much human activity these parcels (and the area I was in) had. Old barbed wire growing though trees, junk cars. Toilet seats. Maple syrup operations, murder shacks, you name it. Mindboggling to a guy used to not seeing more than UTV tracks from other crews, or cutlines in terms of disturbance.

Anyway, I was winding my way through one of these river lots and I came across a small wooden box, a bunch of apples, and this pink rock that did not match the regional geology at all. I walked about 10 steps before my inner nerd took over and I went over to look at the rock.

I am holding this thing, turning it over in my hand and I’m like ‘WTF. this thing looks like a stupid pink healing salt lamp thing you see at a massage clinic.’ I keep turning it over and look at the bottom of the rock. It’s totally flat. It’s definitely some healing crystals bullshit but why the fuck is it here? This is the most random thing ever.

I set it down. Grab my gear, get ready to stand up. And boom.

Trail cam on a stick. Face level to me kneeling.

The reality that this is a salt lick and bait station for deer comes crashing home like a ton of bricks. And I’m on camera like an idiot. Guess the station works.

The guy must have laughed his ass off when he collected the camera and reviewed it:

dude walks into frame. Dude walks out of frame. Dude re-enters frame. Dude kneels down fucks with salt lick, with visible confusion on face. Dude looks at camera and realizes he’s a moron

Fuck me.

I get it, but there’s a logic to it being so long if you think about it: flooding. You want river access without risking your house getting washed away. As I said, it’s an old lot layout method - like from the mid 1800s or earlier, with ties to how things were laid out in France originally.

Also, ‘great for hunting’ in the ad. Lmao.

OP discovers river lots. Lots like this are an old design, that allowed everyone access to the river while giving you a decent amount of land. They are very common in Ontario, and such.

They are also a fucking nightmare if you’re doing any sort of survey in the area, that requires land access because for a given area, you now have to negotiate with 350 land owners instead of like 30.

I like the Viking boat room - it’s the one that looks the least like Sheogorath sneezed in it.

If a sleeve tattoo was a house

What’s the mecca thing? I don’t remember that one

Was I reposting their stuff? I can’t keep track of my memes.

I don’t know why you were downvoted; you are right. Plant based is the way to go, and I say this as your typical omnivorous white dude. Until we get more buy in from people (changing diets) and from corporations, it’s unlikely to change, though.

A few points I would like to make:

1. Soil degradation of corn:soy systems is largely due to tillage. No till is better, but perhaps not as good as agroforestry

2. Proponents of agroforestry often gloss over the changes required to actually practice it. Where a farmer can use large combines to harvest corn and soy relatively easily, he now has trees interrupting harvest, or its harder to harvest the diverse cropping systems (e.g., food bearing trees). While the benefits of argo forestry are real, so are the challenges.

3. Soil C sequestration from these systems is most likely temporary, and net neutral, but will reduce input costs

4. We need to switch away from beef - eat more chikn

Yeah, I’m pretty much thinking using pre-trained models to generate images in SD. I’m hugely inexperienced at all of this, and very lost. There are a bunch of devs/power users who have gone to the nines on writing this stuff and guiding other devs/super users but for a schmoe like me, it may as well be in Sanskrit.

A starting point on ‘hey, here’s how to use SD, and a few models it has’ would be very much appreciated. I’ve been trying to get lora models working but no luck

Still would, with tits like those.

Pretty pleased with how these turned out

This is incredible

While I think veganism is an honourable thing, I think it can be difficult to do.

I don’t mind seed bombing provided native spp. Are used.

It’s also about 1.4 metric tonnes in weight

Wait more than one person says it like this?

Bone-apple-tea!

Jokes aside, welcome to our little corner of the web. There is some really cool stuff here if you’re even remotely interested in environmental crap. We are pretty far left on the spectrum (heck, more like anarchists), even by Lemmy standards, I think, but we are also a pretty chill bunch.

Hate it when this happens

4k. photorealistic. A man opening a closet. his hand is on the door handle. on the other side of the door is an eldritch monster. we can see space and planets on the other side of the door. the man is surprised
