I think they're sharing insights into the evolution of the market economy in the southern colonies prior to the Revolutionary War, because the economic modalities—especially in the southern colonies—could most aptly be characterized as agrarian pre-capital especially regarding how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740 mostly due to the Pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.
@th3j35t3r I disagree. They're talking about Roman elites refusing to implement technological advances which would increase productivity a hundred-fold due to the inertia established by the slave economy. Why would they bother with things like steam power when they had an inexhaustible supply of slaves? @impermanence42

On second thoughts, you could be right - but I'll defer to @kel - he knows more about this stuff than me.
@th3j35t3r @LiberalLibrarian @impermanence42 People...
They're talking about the power coefficient of various seed varieties in jules, as calculated by the relative air speed of their unladen selves in various nominal humidity and temperature bands. The one on the right claims that he's much faster in the early morning. The one on left believes this is bullshit, both due to the lower ambient temperature and the subviscous affects of increased aqueous humidification at near-dew point conditions.

It's pretty obvious 👀 . They are talking about GMO corn. The first pic is evidence that they had a heated argument on theoretical and philosophical grounds. The 2nd pic clearly shows that after tasting the corn, they both entered a deeply pensive, meta- meta-physical state.

...And we're off. Weeeee! 😂
Even if we are all birds of the same'ish feathers, we like to go off in unpredictable ways 🤣
