I thought Don Ho sang "Tiny Bubbles"? When did he become a software developer?

R.C., that you? Although I believe R.C.'s commandment was to limit world population at 500M.

I agree. I believe that especially in the mid 70's to 2000's, most farmers could not prove, if asked after the fact, that they "used as directed".

Glyphosate has been around longer than that, Monsanto put it on the market under the RoundUp brand in 1974. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I remember as a kid seeing small mounds of 5 gallon and 30 gallon Round-up drums at the edges of fields where farmers would mix with water in their sprayers; self-propelled or pulled by a tractor. That was the mid 70's. A person would empty the drum into the sprayer, then toss the empty drum onto the pile.
As to the safety, smell it and touch it and you should think it's not safe. I've had it on my skin more times than I could ever count, spraying a field or getting caught in someone's overspray. Like safer than other weed killers? maybe, but I definitely would not drink a glass of it, LOL.

IMHO, it's a mistake to always go on to the next more potent, toxic alternative. Instead I would suggest study and research on the effectiveness of drone application (spot application) Ag-Chem companies have been doing the last several years. Bring back field cultivating, computerize it and make it selective based on satellite and drone imaging? Educate and push for the use of Safety and PPE when using these chemicals (most farmers I know are notoriously bad at practicing safety, period, but it's worse when you need to get that field sprayed in time to beat the rain coming in 6-8 hours). Roll some farmland out of CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) and put it back in crop rotation. My two cents...

Well, at least the stretcher bearers did better than these guys: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny...

It also doesn't get elbowed in the ribs 500m from the finish line by a fellow competitor. (yet)

Worse yet, what if this is heaven? I want my money back!

WTF? One Ninety Twooths?

If we did that, there would be no candidates for public office!

Several would have to be created, there are not currently enough in existence. I was trying to think up a zinger about Avogadro's number and taking out the foreign 'moles' but I've done enough thinking for the day.

Are you confusing bayonets for rifles? The backup in case the boomstick doesn't work?

This could be to get the U.S. public used to a "being" that is not 100% human walking with the first lady. Makes it easier for Zuck and Musk to replace "dear leader" with a cyborg utilizing Drumpf's brain and an AI interface for that third term. Unless the brain case is too large, leaks and shorts out the circuits.

Don't fret about it, I heard for an extra $50, a fire control officer is included to push the buttons for you. ;-)

getting involved with the implementation of a wind farm. $5M could make me stop thinking about it. So for those "gubbermint" spies on /., the ball is in your court!

Not quickly enough.
