“I observe that sarcastic remarks uttered by a Justice to a legally untrained person who is presumed innocent are unbecoming and may bring the administration of justice into disrepute,” he said.

Well stated.

Brilliant to have a strike with a set duration so that A) management knows your serious B) management can accurately determibe the potential cost of the strike C) if the strike does occur, you'll have higher participation rates and D) if the strike does occur, it won't drain the union's coffers as it has in the past with the American UAW.

Absolutely brilliant planning. IBEW ought to be taking notes!

Another example is that we've recently discovered the significance of trees (or shady structures, like awnings or solar panels) in or around fields. Turns out most crops don't actually prefer 16 hours of direct sunlight! And some partial shade reduces the need for irrigation, to boot.

Go figure!

Farming transfers nutrients from the earth to food. That's just the way plants are ¯_(ツ)_/¯

On our non-irrigated farmland we leave fields fallow every other year to regain nutrients.

Cool!

It always blows me away that here in the 21st century we're just starting to figure out how to farm properly. I know the changes will be slow (my family's farm hasn't meaningfully changed operations since the '80s) but I'm excited to see what a typical modern (ie: rich person's) farm looks like in the year 2050.

No personal interest in checking it out, but I love love love that it exists. What a neat way to show off the research that has been done.

no, read the article: they went a smidge solarpunk, are mostly petrolpunk, and often there-is-no-electricity-todaypunk

Who knows, but honestly you're probably worrying too much. The human brain is extremely elastic. So read a book, keep a journal, draw a little picture of a house. You'll be okay :)
