In an airport reviewing the life choices that led to my being in an airport

They're all badly organized.
They're all well organized (for someone's purpose)

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Poets' shelves organized by color.
Professors' by author's Erdos number.
All those shelves will be lost in time.

@sjvn <ahem> _regurgitating_ high school papers. Train an ML routine on HS papers (among other things) and yeah, it'll be able to produce one. Structured, limited vocab.

Admittedly I am very jaded and cynical. Everyone else should have fun.

I'm interested in the question of how or if there's a viable application for vertical farming.

The Netherlands lead the world in greenhouse farming of several high margin foods. Don't see any vertical farms there afaict.

Growing low margin leafy greens in that application? Why? Extend the growing season? To reduce chemicals? To have better genetic control?

Need a deep hole to reduce HVAC demand, beaucoup solar/wind... The sun and sheet plastic work better.

Making Chicago snowbank-sized piles of leaves, just sweeping the walk. What happened overnight?! Think I slept through a derecho.

@Jezibaba I love most about that someone had the time (and skills) to work days/weeks/years on functional art. And presumably still had the means to eat. I think someday we'll value human creativity again as much or instead of efficiency.

@Autumn thanks. Also applicable to home repair, construction and IT projects. I only get so many hours on this orb.

@kenc313 make it and someone will be over to take care of it^H^H^H you.

I meant you.

@corlin btw those trucks are TOTALLY BADASS gigantic engineering marvels
