How to Make a Skyhook

A practical way to introduce two people to each other like a pro.

Wild article from the best writer in all of agriculture- Chris Bennet “Let me be clear: Without the Judas goats, there were not enough men in south Omaha to move 1,000-plus sheep up a ramp because the sheep would bunch up or balk. In other words, the plant was truly dependent on the Judas goats to betray the sheep.” https://www.agweb.com/news/livestock/beef/slaughterhouse-kings-recalling-creepy-reign-judas-goats

Email is broken. There is this new email marketing trick where a company sends you one email from a person supposedly wanting to talk about your business and then a few minutes later you get an email from their “manager” saying “I’m just gonna jump in where X person left off and offer to schedule time with you personally. So now instead of getting one junk email I’m going to delete and block now I have to do 2. I wish there was a way to inflict a cost on them for wasting my time and attention. I want a system where you have to pay sats to be able to send me an email so that spammers go broke.

There is a special place in hell for people that make online recipes where you have to scroll past pages of exposition to find out how many fucking grams of basil do you need to make pesto

Oh boy- ok I can now detect when someone is sending me a chat gpt email and it instantly pisses me off if the personal email is more than 3-4 sentences long because they are having a system generate noise that they didn’t do proof of work to create. ..ie typing. It feels insulting. How do you feel about it

Crazy things happening in ag right now: 1. Winter wheat out west is fucking toast- drought killed it, 2. the national cattle herd is as low as it’s been since the 60’s, ranchers are selling off heifers so it’s not coming back soon. Too expensive to truck in hay all the grass is dead. 3. Meat Packers are hinting they may shut down old facilities which could take beef supplies down by 5% or more sky rocketing beef prices, but obliterating the fats market. All those cattle ranchers are selling won’t have anywhere to go. 4. Wholesale egg prices drop from $5.00+ per dozen to below $0.97 a few weeks of this can be managed, but a month and we will see the little guys selling out… 5. Equipment prices up, input prices up, and a big part of the country is low on water.

What is something beautiful you noticed this week?

Automatic bread makers are the most underrated appliance of a modern American kitchen. The bread maker can allow you to eliminate hundreds of preservatives, additives and low grade oils from your diet. The quality of your carbohydrates increases and your diet (if you can keep from eating too much) improves. This is very difficult to do if you hand roll and bake the dough
