Organic Salad Farmer, Bowl Carver, Furniture Maker, and Dad. I have made all the gardening mistakes so you don't have to. I will eventually get around to following you back.

This is like how, for tax purposes, tacos are legally sandwiches in most US states. They're obviously wrong: tacos are a kind of loaded pasta

Pasta is any unleavened carbohydrate paste. Not all pasta is noodles (gnocchi comes to mind), but all noodles are pasta. Even asian noodles are usually labelled alimentary paste. Paste=pasta

If anything, too few things are classified as pasta/noodles: matzo- baked pasta Baklava- this is a variation of lasagna Etc

We are doing a lot of great stuff with the farm right now. Even the neighbors are commenting on it. It hasn't started translating into full farm stands yet, but it will soon.

Man, I love having an overqualified applicant. "Your last job was farm manager for an operation 3x this big and now you want to do just production management here? Great!"

What I don't understand here is this: if you, as a company, don't trust your interviewer to make a decision, why have them do interviews at all?

That's stupid. That is too much to devote to a trivial decision as a business. I have been self-employed since 2007. My company's hiring process is a single interview and contacting a couple references.

Were you interviewing to be CEO? What job position actually needs more than two interview rounds to determine if you are a good fit? Also, I am sure you would have been great. They messed up.

I would definitely prefer if sleepy Grandpa starts abusing the power he's been given in service of getting those powers taken away now, than to wait until angry fascist grandpa comes and starts abusing those powers to turn the US into a hereditary Monarchy or whatever

The solution is for Joe Biden to assassinate two justices and a senator, and then promise to kill one senator a month until they fix the court.

Hey @joebiden i see you have found yourself with some broad and unaccountable powers. You know who else found themselves in this position? That's right Maximilian Robespierre

I love when a vendor doesn't cash a large check for a week or two. Did they lose it? Is it stuck in the bottom of a deposit box?

No one can say they didn’t know exactly what this was. Everyone knows this is genocide and everyone knows that everyone knows. It’s all dangerously out in the open. The only way to accept this is to see Palestinians as less than human. No peace or rest for such people ever again.

It would have been a good idea if Biden decided not to run a year ago, or if he resigned last year to give Harris a chance to build her resume, but now... The die is cast

I worked with a kid a decade ago who, over pizza in the break room, asked "if driving is so energy inefficient, why don't we have moving roads instead?" Literally no one acknowledged that he had spoken.

For the next debate, put a referee in there and when a candidate obviously lies, his opponent gets to shoot free throws.

It's hilarious to wait until after the primaries are done to realize that an 81 yo man will continue to age
