Death Korps of Krieg

One of these photos is using industrial machinery for harvesting wheat. It's obviously less efficient in terms of percentage of wheat harvested, since it can't get at any wheat too close to the trees. But even if they sacrifice ten percent of the wheat for that reason, ten percent of 1.4 is significantly less than forty percent of 1.0. Either that or the 1.4 yield already doesn't count that sacrificed wheat.

What I really need is a mainline Castlevania game that canonises the Captain N: The Game Master version of Simon Belmont by establishing that no, he's not that Simon Belmont, he's just named after the guy, and constantly being compared to his famous ancestor is literally the reason he's Like That.

Honestly, that would have explained a lot.

Splitting the difference on productivity fetishism by striving to maximise my personal utility, but only for purposes no-one actually wants.

I'm in a Marxist literature class right now so my brain first parsed it as "commodity fetishism" and so I imagined a world where we replace exchange-value with how annoying something is.

Just got back to my desk after lunch to be greeted by a message from my mother reading: "I've ordered a propeller for your father. It will be arriving at your place tomorrow." Zero context. Sometimes I'm starkly reminded where I got my own propensity to never explain anything.

Every man from time to time needs a propeller.

Okay, why the heck did I suddenly gain two dozen followers on Bluesky in the last twenty minutes? What did Elon Musk do this time?
