  1. I'm sure it'd be a hugely important issue were it to involve anyone else, but because it concerns the God Emperor of their cult, it can be nonchalantly swept under the rug. Which is a real pity.
  2. Apart from inviting Mbepe into our lives, I'm actually fairly vanilla.
  3. You aren't ignoring my comment, as indicated by the words above. You are ignoring Donald Trump's predilection for raping 13 year old girls. Why is this behaviour acceptable for any candidate for the most powerful person in the world? Why does this sit well with you? Fine, his covid skepticism and fear of brown people closely aligns with your own views, but how can you overlook this specific aspect of the man? Because for me... that kind of trumps all other qualities.
  4. I'd say the little drone bees from Black Mirror would be the way forward for artificial pollination on that kind of scale. Plus, you could task them with all sorts of other things!
  5. Even just a good jiggle when the majority of flowers on each truss are open helps, and it can easily be done with the spare hand during watering, so it really shouldn't take up any more time. Lance or nozzle in one hand, hose wrapped around your leg to bring it along and free up your other hand, so it can do other tasks as you move down the line. Pinching off shoots, inseminating flowers, rehoming pests, etc.
  6. When you say unpollinated flowers, is it just that they are still present among developing fruits, or is there some other visual tell? I was taught (at tomato growing school, no less), that a good practice to get into is to shake each truss, gently but with a firm intent, to scatter pollen; or if you aren't too far into double figures of plants, just walk along and tickle each flower with a small, soft paintbrush. Sounds like an effort, and it is (just like many of the other repetitive tasks associated with tomatoes), but the noticeable uptick in yield makes it worth it. Edit: the paintbrush technique also let's you reliably maintain the genetics of heirloom varieties and avoid cross-pollination if you are growing many different types in one tunnel, or indeed, allows you to cross-pollinate in a targeted fashion, if you are making your own varieties. Just aim for very new flowers, ideally mature but not yet unfurled, slice the poor thing open to reveal its naughty bits, and tickle the pollen from your chosen donor onto it. Then isolate and label the flower or truss, and harvest the seeds when ripe.

  8. Yeah, we all understand it. It's not rocket surgery. That's the sort of thing I expect people who like guns to know. I'd be concerned if they didn't. Edit: Trump: “Nothing you can do folks. All though the 2nd Amendment people maybe there is, I don’t know…” (Bullet flies passed head) Trump: OH WAIT, NOT LIKE THAT!!!
  9. It's funny how he thinks any of that blurb above makes him sound any less likely to have the kind of misadventures that gun owners or those adjacent to them have the opportunity to enjoy. 🙂
  10. Ah you know how this thread will go now, people will just tell you to price it whatever it's worth to you, allowing for overheads, hassle, a little something for yourself, and any number of costs that people would encounter, but they won't really share what that might be for themselves, until people start tentatively suggesting highballs and lowballs until we start arguing about whether some jobs are best charged for big machines or a fella with a ladder.
  11. MAMA! Make America a Monarchy Again! Gotta say, I don't believe the mainstream media when they say that the shooter is a Republican... he's got the crude, primitive features and lanky, greasy hair of a pedophile democrat...
  12. Okay, so you are a homophobe... ...but you are okay with people raping 13 year old girls... Got it.
  13. Thirty minutes might be a bit much, it's hard to know how long this gaggle were watching before this video started, but as this cleverly-mashed compilation shows, the action is pretty much condensed into just a couple of minutes. https://youtu.be/LDzxnQsSVQY?feature=shared
  14. As you well know, Tree Fancier ABC, if that even is your real name, the facts and data regarding the dangers of smoking those boffins were harping on about carry much less significance than the opinions and emotions of the average rugged and handsome smoker from that time, simply because they'd never known the pleasures of the rich and smooth great taste of Laramie Reduced Tar Menthol Cigarillos. They had no experience of being addicted to these alluring, wholly masculine, and character-defining tobacco products, and thus they had no business telling other people how dangerous and deadly their addiction was.
  15. Good to know the divers have your undivided attention 👍
  16. Absolutely, yeah. He's every anti-hero's hero now. Only one way to top his effort, though!
  17. Excellent point, eloquently made.
  18. Forgive me, where do the left fit in to your current interpretation of events? Because it seems to be red-on-red violence... did I miss a memo? Suggested motives include an idealistic Republican doing exactly what he's been told and going after the pedophiles, rapists, and groomers in society ("No, not that one!", the fanbase cries); or the stereotypical unpopular gun nut kid at school who suddenly decides to go out with a big a bang as possible, but school is out for the summer so he needs to find a different target... Then again, maaaaybe it could be a trans illegal immigrant antifa plant, funded by the deep state and radicalised by the Zionists, or something. Did anyone check to see if Corey Competatore is a crisis actor yet? Meanwhile, Trump has not made contact with his widow yet... and instead goes golfing.
  19. So, apparently, the guy wasn't breaking the law until he pulled the trigger, and thus the local PD couldn't fire on him. There are also a lot of 2nd amendment chaps saying he was well within his rights to open fire on Trump if he perceived him to be a threat, which wouldn't really work very well as a defence in court if he was still alive, but it's fairly funny to think about it.
  20. Stump Grindr: a dating app for gay amputees.
  21. When asked whether abortion laws should include exceptions for rape and incest, [Vance] said, "two wrong[s] don't make a right."[64]
  22. Fair enough letting him drag a few sticks to the chipper if he really wants to muck in, but there's no reason for anyone to pick up a chainsaw, and you should have put your foot down a lot sooner, certainly before taking your phone out and getting a picture.
