Don’t worry it’s all part of God’s plan /s

No problem. Us dirt (and rock) nerds need to stick together.

10/10 username btw

This is called pedastalling. It’s also what happens when hoodoos form, just on a larger scale.

We watch for this as an erosion indicator in environmental assessments

Just a skiff

This isn’t reddit; we don’t have a host of frothing-at-the-mouth pendants. You don’t have to label stuff for the most part.

The only real no-no people will jump down your throat about is posting AI stuff (unintentionally or not).

I’m with the other commentator - you sound young. Nothing wrong with that, but our brains don’t fully form until 27.

When I turned 27, the pop of me pulling my head out of my ass was heard by rural farmers in India. I’m now 40, and I wish I knew now what I knew then, so badly.

This is a very long winded way to say, don’t paint yourself into a corner with dislike of formal education. Figure out what it’s about it that you don’t like and work to find a way to address or at least cope with it. Online courses are fine to learn things but they aren’t widely recognized by employers, should you wish to work.

One of the things I learned and pass on to my mentees is that it’s often the experience we don’t like that’s the most valuable. That doesn’t mean suffer unnecessarily, but if you are in a tough spot learn what you can from it. In my case, I hated working with contactors, but that work is what got me a much better job where I’m home all the time.

Think about the best version of yourself and what that looks like. What are the major goals you need to meet to get there? What are those goals broken down into? How do you know if you met your smaller goals? Your objective (best version) is met though sequential steps and measurable progress

I like the moss effect on the tree ;)

What would you propose, then?

We use organic amendments all the time when reclaiming historically mined lands that did not salvage soils.

Soils take millennia to form, and you’re not going to get fertile soils without either kickstarting the process or waiting.

Another commentator points out that using arbuscular mychorrizhal fungi is also cheating. Again, how?

To have a functional soil and not regolith you need the following:

• An organic matter source - regolith lacks this
• A moisture retaining media - regolith usually has this but its ability varies widely
• Enough rooting depth for your desired plants
• A method to transform organic matter to nutrients - regolith generally lacks this

Organic matter is your pool of nutrients and microbes and fungi are what mineralize this pool into plant available forms, so saying they are cheating doesnt hold water (like a shitty regolith).

But I can grow plants in glass beads! Sure you can, but you’re supplying chemical fertilizer to do it and constantly replacing that - so in this case you’re the organic matter pool and the transformation vector.

You need humus to grow hummus ;)

Deserts are hard to restore because anything that established is quickly buried, they lack nutrients and they lack water.

Once you stabilize, things get a lot easier especially if you plant drought resistant stuff

I don’t think victims, but pinched by the trap.

If you take 'epstein is a Russian agent’s like they are imply ‘epstein likely got his girls from Russian organized crime’ and ‘bill gates got an STD from a Russian hooker’, a picture starts to emerge.

It seems to be a russian extortion ring for Intel and secrets etc with Donald somehow involved as well.

The part I don’t get is how many people are willing to rape underaged girls. Sheesh.

I can’t express how much I wish my fellow Albertans, who want to join the US, to pack their things and head to their promised land.

The separatists movement has always been here. For decades even conservatives would laugh at someone suggesting ceding from Canada. Then PP came along and started riling them up and taking a page out of mein Kampf 2nd edition and here we are. That, and every equipment operator, truck driver and Derrick hand started listening to conservative podcasts and doing some ‘deep thinking’ without the requisite number of brain cells.

Fuckheads.

I thought your UN looked familiar.

I left for the same reasons. Their native app is shit. They got bought out and took private. I have a dental problem with authority - back me into a corner by taking away my choices and you get brick.

I used to reddit a lot in 2011-2013 but set it down then just lurked periodically. I found out where everyone else was going and here I am. A bit of a learning curve to get set up but now I’m happy and this place feels like reddit (but friendlier) before it started sucking

Fuck me, I forgot the link. It is been a long day.

Added it to the post. Worth a read.

He broke the headstock off of his guitar! I would be drinking that much too if I did that to mine

Right wingers preaching violence: those people don’t belong, and should feel afraid. We should DO something about them!

Right wingers when someone ‘does something’ about them: wait not like that

The Doge days are over
The doge days are done
The FBI is coming
So you OUU oo out better run.

Excuse my shitty camera - the cover glass broke a while back and it got dirt on the sensor.
