I think the mental toll for what is going on right now is going to appear laughable in the months to come. No matter which way we jump there are going to be ugly consequences. A huge part of not examining the problems and trying to come up

Printing money is not the same thing as creating resources. Resources are the backbone of wealth! No resources, no wealth. All resources begin with human activity. No activity, no resources. Reduced activity, reduced resources, reduced weal

If you were to buy an inexpensive product to fulfill a certain need in your life, and that product failed before the need was fulfilled, you would not buy the identical product. You would spring for a more expensive product that would compl

I often thought that if people were serious about the environment they would grow food instead of lawns. The typical HOA frowns on this though. I was a big fan of John Jeavons back in the 90's. I'm sure he still has a lot of good

I live on a ranch. We do not grow any crops, only beef. The surrounding area is a combination of wheat farms and ranches. The reason the ranches aren't wheat farms is because the terrain is just to rugged for productive wheat farming.

Thank you for the link. I suspected it went back further than 1959, but could not come up with a publication for it. I should have searched wikipedia. I had a great interest in the Ice Age in my youth. Most of the books I read on the subjec

In the mid 1980's I attended a library sale. I bought a collection of Science News magazines that covered the whole year of 1959. For those of you who don't know that was the International Geophysical Year. I don't feel like

I don't know if you are still following this conversation or not. The snow stopped yesterday and I had to go do my work. In case you are, I found this conversation rather thought provoking and wanted to continue for a while. Here is a

The major part of burnout is thus caused by HR. HR directs that the way teams are evaluated is that they are compared to one another, and it is mandatory that one team be rated over another team which creates an us vs them mentality. Then m

Ever heard of South Park? How about North Park? Kremlin is a Ranching community. So was Baily at one time and some of the ranchers still live there even though it is almost part of the Metro area now. Eagle is a ranching community. I could

I've actually worked on ranches in Colorado. Ranchers do graze their stock in the mountains. The other side of the coin is that the habitat for wolves is from sea level to approximately 9800' (3000m). They hunt wherever they can f

I established a wiki where I use to work. I was quite efficient about keeping it up to date and well categorized. I found it quite useful for not having to re-work out issues I had already solved. It was easy to search and correctable. I ga

If someone has completed a process even only once, they may have some insight that an old timer has missed. It's always a good idea to listen to a "noob". You may learn something. Noobs also may have the best ideas about impr

As someone who has had far more failures at evaluating candidates than successes, I find it very hard to wade through the BS in a meeting that lasts an hour or two. The strangest people I've met seemed normal for that short of time. I

The first computer I ever owned was an analog computer from Edmund Scientific. It was fundamentally an electronic slide rule. It had a meter that swung from a negative value to a positive value. The operator adjusted some potentiometers so

It is an allegory of the Russian Revolution of 1917. The farmer represents the Tsarist autocracy. In a Tsarist autocracy all power and wealth is controlled by the Tsar (Farmer Jones). This is actually a long way from capitalism. In the end
