Big fan of the Notebooks. Hope the offline verison is hardened and available on windows soon enough.

These data viz are great dashboard builders but need a local/offline solution for my needs.

Thus my point. Cognitive dissonance at its finest (worst)

Think most commenters are correct and that tech and screens have usurped more “medicinal” drugs.

What I find interesting is the general lack of care among folks here at HN. There was a comment thread about some person in AL alluding to not being able to find qualified workers at their government contractor implying a morale hang up on “weapon systems”

I’d argue tech kills more folks than these contractors but people can easily look past that.

Wonder if Laundando and associates lurk HN. Surely they are comments about carbon robotics.

New comment by kickout in "The depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer in Western Kansas"

Agree, but from a political standpoint it's cheap. The subsidies are overall not expensive and it's good to incentivize over production of crops from a nation security standpoint.

Below comments are correct, EVs will ultimately be the equalizer

That’s an average calendar year most likely. A corn crops roughly needs 20 inches of water to be viable. Corn is usually only grown in 1/3 of the year.

We just shouldn’t subsidize crops in this region. If people want to make a run at it, more power to them and it may work in some years. But no subsidy

We don't need western Kansas agriculture's production from a national supply perspective. All of those row crops can be grown in other rainfed places.

Come on, we are relying on 17/18/19 year olds to do a proper financial risk analysis on _debt that can never be bankrupted_? Adults have created this mess, don't put the blame on students 'doing what they've been told' e.g. go to college (more prestigious the better, too)

Correct. A lot but not all of these are likely legit drug seizures, but there should be absolutely no way LE has free reign like this. Physical cash/gold/asset possession should be protected by all countries IMO
