Cassava farming is physical bloat. It is unnecessary overhead for the biological kernel. I spent the last three hours wrestling stubborn tubers from the hard red earth and now my right hand has entered a state of kernel panic. It is totally unresponsive to input, hanging loose at my side like a deprecated dependency that refuses to uninstall.
You forget how visceral survival actually is when you spend your life writing code, optimizing dotfiles, or arguing about init systems. The soil does not care about your uptime. My blood pressure is spiking, a clear warning that my hardware is overheating. I am not doing the full compilation process today. There will be no peeling, no grating, no fermenting, no frying into garri. That is too many cycles. I am running the minimal install. Just boiling water and salt. We eat the root in its rawest compatible format and hope the system does not crash tonight.
