One year, grandpa&#39;s wheat crop failed and he had to sell what little he had and buy millet, which was cheaper. The family lived all winter on millet and whatever Grandma had canned &amp; preserved from that year&#39;s garden. It. Was. Bad.<br/><br/>I have plenty more stories that Mom told me about being hungry and having nothing. But the tl;dr: here is that pouring your blood, sweat, &amp; physical wellbeing into a piece of land and hoping that land will return enough to sustain you is a mug&#39;s game. <br/><br/>Don&#39;t get me wrong: home gardens, and small farmsteads, are great. But I have never known a small family farm to yield a comfortable &#34;first world&#34; lifestyle without some sort of outside income. 2025-06-29T09:58:02Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9pmg4q90ytd480gtks3ahlwvyn8k3vvnyhyav2pl3unzt6tuc8mszyp4jgzusl6wd7zv2p0g7e80kg5dgvjkuekfx97rxw59zvjwd60ajw7kljp8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstlq6mg4dv0utxnmydy49tnujdxpspkee46g74e0d9xkwgwyumslcpw8v28'>nevent1q…8v28</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You know, US commercial fishing vessels have their take and their bycatch ratios carefully monitored by the gover-<br/><br/>..oh, hell, never mind 2025-06-28T05:56:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv5zzp00upu8qw9h5adcmwuzz2xsjrluwqdc34x7rul0hwsc0gjeczyp4jgzusl6wd7zv2p0g7e80kg5dgvjkuekfx97rxw59zvjwd60ajwphq3pk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0fwlwyfdryk74wthnnt002gfg7d3r65zdqk8w42gwlmdmw6uludqhcedtq'>nevent1q…edtq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;Ice announced that they arrested 84 people... ...[and] &#39;at least two&#39; had criminal records.&#34;<br/><br/>So, to put in baseball terms, ICE is batting 024*<br/><br/>*at least 2025-06-28T05:39:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrwnrktx5ql64cj2tnuf67hxuqm4lhqalsgvyhuny96lgga84v6dczyp4jgzusl6wd7zv2p0g7e80kg5dgvjkuekfx97rxw59zvjwd60ajwj5lf34 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdnac84xv32vl3jcal88rcqaucakaa4kamc0uvh9z9vq95a2lrs2cuut3y4'>nevent1q…t3y4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m looking forward to when they can produce fiery explosions in the design phase.<br/><br/>*I used to do some engineering design (although not rockets), and the idea of the plan sheets or a CAD file spontaneously bursting into a fireball that levels the neighborhood is amusing the heck out of me.<br/><br/>**tbc, I would not want that in reality-- but it&#39;s great fun in imagination. 2025-06-19T12:28:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdr5nku3wccuttrnw34aaeqlxtr5qt52qndq0d05xscz8ln89lw6czyp4jgzusl6wd7zv2p0g7e80kg5dgvjkuekfx97rxw59zvjwd60ajwmqy983 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdg43qe5sxwwuelxn8dwxl3dewemzx52k4pqkfwk2a63r6xzwaj4ssu85w8'>nevent1q…85w8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That is pretty darned good. 2025-01-21T11:03:36Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyl2hlmwu0z9l2gqe58mq46xa656zp5ds83x97zcj6ccnetau9dyqzyp4jgzusl6wd7zv2p0g7e80kg5dgvjkuekfx97rxw59zvjwd60ajwafra24 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswvr8y4yy4zdww0pj8hquzg8flyw72eljjgz8gwle55yt04wwyp9gdetc63'>nevent1q…tc63</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I hate you. 😎 2025-01-07T07:54:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsd4ckgcz0zzyw32762uyq9sj5nf20j3fp9a8hncpj9vqxrvqn54kqzyp4jgzusl6wd7zv2p0g7e80kg5dgvjkuekfx97rxw59zvjwd60ajwryggms In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqlv76srqwwt63wlznud2qzqdm6335cdfaansfgd7xy39gz2wc05q0q3ar7'>nevent1q…3ar7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I remember going to a Sambo&#39;s* restaurant in the 1960&#39;s; in Davis, California.<br/><br/>*not sure if uncles were involved 2025-01-01T21:42:14Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsznjqp4ykkyg89s60m55sm5xrpxgdpkc8dgek8jyat6t50kq9kvfgzyp4jgzusl6wd7zv2p0g7e80kg5dgvjkuekfx97rxw59zvjwd60ajwpghvn7 I have known three homeless people very well.
