@_kruptos To be fair, many Americans have experienced forest fires as a direct result of mismanagement by the environmental lobby.
We had some nasty ones in Northern MN a few years ago that were quite preventable.
Doubtless apples and oranges, but we see fruit and start concluding 😅
@Kalei_FarmGirl@jenjo_1968 I have a buckeye tree in my yard in central MN. The last few weeks she was alive, my daughter loved to play beneath it. I'm trying to grow more from the nuts, and am getting a few to take, but not many.
Only ever seen one other tree in our area, blew down 2 yrs ago. Tips?
What the Trump accounts need, is a way to pay into each kid’s Trump account easily and directly.
If a neighbor kid mows my lawn, I should be able to pay into his Trump account.
Let Godparents and Grandparents deposit directly on birthdays without going through parents etc.
@TimberworksWood Wow! That's a lot of ground you've covered. It does look similar to Northern Minn. where I grew up.
I often think about the sheer size of Canada and it makes me want to run up there and just explore lakes and streams. You're living my dream, ha!
Fahrenheit is superior to Celsius and I’m tired of pretending this is a debate.
Fahrenheit feels like temperature was designed by an human being who walks outside, feels the air, and says, “Yeah, that makes sense.”
Zero is freezing. 100 is brutally hot.
70 is comfortable. 80 is warm.
The numbers feel like what they are describing.
Celsius feels like it was designed by a committee of people who hate joy and want every conversation about the weather to sound like a chemistry lab.
“It’s 22 degrees outside.”
What does that even mean to a normal person? Am I wearing shorts? Am I grabbing a jacket?
Nobody knows. You need a conversion chart and a government employee standing next to you explaining the vibes.
Fahrenheit gives you range. That’s the point. It gives you more numbers for the temperatures human beings actually live in. You can feel the difference between 68, 72, 76, and 80. Those numbers matter. Fahrenheit lets you describe the world with more precision without having to break into decimals like a lunatic.
And here’s the other thing...
Celsius is connected to the metric cult energy that came out of the French Revolution. And the French Revolution was evil. Both of the Revolution were to rip out tradition, faith, monarchy, hierarchy, the Church, the calendar, the clock, and anything that reminded man he was not God.
CELSIUS IS INHERENTLY EVIL
So yes, Celsius may be useful if you’re boiling water in a lab. Congratulations. But Fahrenheit is for living LIFE because Fahrenheit is for walking outside and instantly knowing what kind of day you’re about to have.
100 means hot. 70 means beautiful. Zero means don’t go outside unless you have a death wish.
That’s a real system.
@megbasham This is the proper way to do it. Driving with the door open is also acceptable.
King mode is setting one or more of the kids in the open trunk or on the tailgate and having them drag it.
I think about this a lot.

@Guitardo7 I'm honestly curious what the better alternative is? I wish JMac would have answered that too.
I think Religious Liberty was the invention of the early American Baptists. It's a fairly new phenomenon, historically speaking. There's been religious toleration, but not freedom.
