And that produce will have more minerals and grow bug free. Double win!
Yup. They use stuff like Azomite and Elomite (Rock Dusts) as soil amendments.
I used it for the 1st time last year and my garden's yeilds were amazing (I harvested double the plum tomatoes from the less plants - 132lbs in 2014/15 plants vs. 66lbs in 2013/18 plants
Guys, people plant in California because it's one of the most fertile soils in the USA.
No, they plant there because of the temps. NOT the soil. Its "fertile" because of Monsanto chemicals.
Or, we east coasters could stop eat so much lettuce.
Or we could start growing our own again.
We do. Find a nice local CSA, Support them. Ours is now doing produce year round thanks to hoop and green houses .
That's a fallacy.
The 2 "crops" that are taking the water:
Shut those 2 things down and water problem solved.
Not just Scientologism. Shouldn't we be reexamining all tax exempt organizations that promote a religious belief as their sole claim to tax exempt? Run a soup kitchen, great, soup kitchen is tax exempt. Run an empire with a soup kitchen, the empire should not be tax exempt- true for scientologists and Christians.
The original reason was because they used that status to help people (i.e. supply food/help for the poor and elderly). It was from a time before things like social security/etc. and many elderly lived in extreme poverty. Many social functions (that churches received the exemption for) are now handled by many other social services.
They no longer need the exemptions as it now just allows them to buy up land/property
I've seen this. Most coders just glue third party stuff together with a bit of business logic. Nobody ever writes anything from bare metal, no complex algorithms, nothing. It just takes too long to test your own stuff. The Java world is so rich in libraries that you can always track down something that does what you need.
And as a certifiable.. I mean certified tester, I'm the person who should be testing shit (and lets face it - Too much of the code out there IS shit)
Let the coders code, Find a person who understands HOW to test and let them test.
Also. If you're going to code using a language like JAVA, Write a freaking JUnit test and pass in Min, Max, Max and a mid range value to your methods/objects. Make 100% certain that it handles the data and errors that inevitably WILL happen. Then you have a quick way to REGRESSION TEST when you do a new release...
If you can't, based on the available facts (the design, requirements, etc.) , determine how long it will take to implement a project then you need to find someone who can. And you have to understand that there ARE external factors you can't control and if they change, the estimates change.
And management needs to know that your estimates are based on specific things (the requirements not changing). Any changes to requirements, etc. will impact schedule
If your company puts the budgets into stone, that's a different issue.
This is yet another way to drive it down.
They don't care about morale. If you don't have any work options, And keep producing ? Their attitude is screw your morale.
No, The real issue (I believe) is that they can't find engineers willing to work for less than other engineers (2/3rd the pay and no benefits).
I've seen when they do a postings for H1B jobs, Its tailored specifically to that person for THAT job, then its posted for just long enough to meet the legal requirement to "prove" they tried to find a qualified US engineer but nope, They didn't find any so the H1B person is kept
Support ALWAYS gets the shit end of the stick.
I'm currently in testing (formerly of development AND support) and I always try my best to beat the snot outta new/updated code so that it doesn't take a dump that support has to clean up (despite every effort of development to put out crap).
Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
