  • There is, just a little. 🙂

    For people that don’t have context…I know farmers that irrigate (water) their beans. But a lot of smart farmers don’t irrigate right away! They want the soybean plant to establish, to set up down roots in the soil (in search of water). They allow the plants to struggle. Then, when they feel the time is right, they say, “Alright, let them have it.” And shower them with water as needed.

    If this isn’t done, the farmer risks creating a bunch of soybean plants that aren’t firmly rooted in the soil.

    It’s similar to people in life; whether they realize it or not, they need struggle & adversity in order to fully develop properly. We can identify people that are soft & coddled, that don’t know how to work. Now more than ever. They’re ill-suited for life. Perhaps shielding them from every real pain, struggle, adversity seemed like a kindness, but in the end it tends to be a disservice.


  • Reading the article, it actually does look pretty bad. Filter media containing asbestos, used to be make chlorine. Brake pads, that are made to wear away into dust, asbestos dust??

    I agree with twinkle, technically it’s all about the proper application, but my god. Probably shouldn’t put it in brake pads, I know asbestos is a wonder material, but the whole issue is creating airborne dust.

    Fossil fuels can’t be banned overnight; I am pro-renewables, but we’re just not there for freight/ag/rural/heavy industry. We can probably start getting enough city people on electric. The tech will continue to get better. Gotta walk before you can run.
