Can’t wait for OP to get scurvy

[plaguedocboi]

Are you under the impression that the ships themselves are what caused scurvy

[plaguedocboi]

Once again. Do you think this is the fault of the ships themselves

The best part about not having a gender is that every sort of attraction I feel is gay

[gungan-gundam]

You have a gender, it’s in your pants

[gaykuvira]

Everyone! My gender is 67 cents, a pen cap, and some lint

[dharmagun]

My gender is a rechargable xbox controller battery that needs to be warmed up before it will work every morning.

Dave Brandt was probably the longest running no-till farmer in the state; he'd been running his land no-till since 1971. He experimented with fertilizers, cover crops, and different irrigation techniques and he'd been doing all of that for a very long time.

The guy was an institution all on his own; look at this.

The “A” profile in his soil is now 47 inches deep compared to less than 6 inches in 1971 and acts like a giant sponge for water infiltration and retention.

From 1971 through 1989 David used an average of 150-250 pounds of nitrogen fertilizer per acre to grow his corn crops. After adding peas and radishes as a cover crop mix, he cut his nitrogen needs in half and was able to get it down to 125 pounds per acre.

When he added multiple species and became more aggressive with his cover crop mixes, he was able to achieve an additional drop in applied fertility. His starter fertilizer is now just 2 lbs of N, 4 lbs of P, and 5 lbs of K. His corn crop now only requires 20-30 lbs of N throughout the entire growing season. He requires no fertility for his soybeans, relying on fertility gained solely through his cover crops. He uses only 40 lbs of 10 N – 10 P – 10 K for his small grains.

Ten years ago (source study published 2019) David stopped using any fungicides and insecticides. This occurred at a time when fungicide and insecticide use has increased significantly with the average commodity farmer.

Four years ago he stopped using any seed treatment, including neonicotinoids.

His cash crop yields have been increasing by an average of 5% annually for the past 5-6 years, with far less fertilizer and no fungicides, insecticides or seed treatment.

What started as a basic heavy clay soils when David purchased the farm in 1971 have been officially re-classified by Ohio State University soil scientists as a highly fertile silty loam soil.

that crunchy vibe that 70s/80s movies have that modern movies simply cannot capture... that kind of quiet empty vibe to em that can be played for either bleakness or a peaceful energy... why do all modern movies (even the great and pretty ones) feel overproduced after watching an older film. what is it I can't put my finger on it but it's there I can feel it

[iheartvelma]

Shot on film

No digital colour grading (today’s films are horribly over processed)

No in-the-computer composite layered scenes with virtual sets etc.

practical sets and effects

hand painted mattes / hand animated vfx

You used the light you had instead of endlessly tweaking it

Sociologically, people stopped going to movies as much in the late 1960s / early 70s because television had really taken off, the era of the ‘tv movie’ started, so studios greenlit a lot of low budget auteur films that had to focus on meaning & relationships instead of spectacle.

8. Pacing.

This is the biggest thing, and it's not even something most people will even realize they're noticing. Movies became more uniform in their structure, as hollywood found the "formula" for a hit movie. It means you lose quiet, peaceful scenes that don't fit into the pattern. That uniformity has done more to hurt the emotional tone of films than any visual effects tricks.

Why Does Every Movie Released These Days Feel Exactly the Same? This Book.

If you’ve gone to the movies recently, you may have felt a strangely familiar feeling: You’ve seen this movie before. Not this exact movie,

In 2005, Blake Snyder released a book: Save the Cat! It discussed movie "beats" and and gave an outline for movie pacing.

That outline has been followed like it's religious dogma for the majority of Hollywood movies ever since. It's enough that you can literally count the minutes in movies and say "ok, here comes the antagonist's big move."

[volturialice]

it’s not just pacing but also average shot length (sometimes shortened to “ASL,” but not to be confused with american sign language.) a movie that only cuts every 12 seconds is gonna feel drastically different from a movie that cuts every 2.5 seconds.

[tlbodine]

As someone who's been watching a whole lot of 1970s horror movies lately alongside 2000s remakes, can confirm all of the above.

when you see your little kitty walking toward you at a leisurely pace and say "hi baby!" bc you're excited to see her and she starts trotting a little bit faster 'cause she's excited to see you too. that's what life is all about i think
