Conspiracy Theories - Ranked

So, who is suspected to be behind a missile or bomb on the plane? And why would that need to be covered up?

One of those links suggests a U.S. Navy missile test gone awry. Seems pretty unlikely, but obviously the Navy would want to cover that up if it happened.

That's the year I got my first "airline" job (i.e. regional airline)

Striker, you ever fly a plane while on shrooms?

It was Alaska Airline... who purchased Horizon back in the day.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit shrooms

There's also the "Secretary Rice, please read the CIA memo titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike USA" angle.

And the "if the public loses confidence in the FAA, NTSB, Boeing, and all the airlines" angle.

But really, some people just like to believe they have the red pill. Like all the red hatters.

Is there a grass that only grows 2 inches tall?

Has Big Lawn Care silenced the technology?

John Deere is built to prevent anyone but a certified dealer to work on them. I wouldnt put it past JD to bury GMO grass seed that maxes out at 2" long (no pun intended). Probably paid monsanto a pretty penny to kill off that grass seed project.

It's called Astroturf. You don't even need to water it or mow it!

Has that wormhole Malaysian Airline letter Coreshot or Puregravity or whoever commented on this week been posted here?

Cause that one is a new level.

aka "Big Plastic"

[The Reverend Floater]

I think that's true, but I also think if they were committed to bringing the airplane down with 100% certainty a Sidewinder would be preferred to shooting the plane up with the cannon.

I agree but they might not have had time to load Sidewinders and a missile strike would also be pretty unmistakable. Who knows?

The PUD in Truckee has an ecofriendly display garden, including a grass that doesn't have to be watered and only grows so high and then stops growing. It won't make a nice fairway or a place to toss the old ball with your kids but it is grass.

Plastic grass is getting more and more popular these days and looks pretty good.

[AK47bp]

Yea. Let’s coat the ground in plastic.

Fuck that shit.

One of my neighbors in TC replaced grass w turf in his front yard several years ago and was mocked by a couple of other neighbors. Both of which have now have switched to turf as well. Turf is contagious. The government is suppressing turf vaccination rates

[gaijin]

Turf is really common in JP. I’d rather just have a garden but I do admit that it looks very clean and natural. If there is such thing as any natural looking lawn.

I grew up in suburban MN and still can’t wrap my head around why people have lawns. It’s show of grandeur. “Look! I have so much land, I don’t even need to farm it.”

I blame big government’s push for the nuclear family.

A lawn has certain advantages--you can walk on it barefoot, it's easy to get the leaves off--if you think you need to get the leaves off--and it's easier to maintain than a lot of the alternatives, especially if you don't mind a lawn that's a mix of various grasses and weeds as long as they're green. A lot of folks in Sacramento are replacing their lawns with xeriscapes, rocks, and the like. But the tree doesn't get enough water and while those alternative landscapes look good at first they tend to require more maintenance than people want so they look pretty ragged after a few years.. I haven't seen a lot of people just letting their yards go native--mainly because there aren't much in the way of native plants other than the oaks in the Central Valley. It's all invasive species brought by white settlers and pretty unpleasant to live with and look at.

Do you remember the bar code conspiracy? Had do google it to remember what it was about. Certain numbers were bad : ) of corse 666 the worst numbers in the bar code!

I can't imagine trying to maintain a yard of any kind in California or any arid area. I get away with a lot living in VT. I'm fine with the mix of weeds and grass in my lawn. I do put down grass seed occasionally if I end up opening a bare spot for whatever reason. I keep forgetting to buy and spread clover seed in the mix. We do mow when we get around to it but our lawn is easily the most ragged looking on the block. I let most of the leaves rot in place. They are from the neighbors trees so they can come rake them if they don't like it.

The thing that makes Sacramento semi tolerant in the summer--not that I spend any time there--is the trees, which reduce the temp by a good 10 degrees. So the question becomes what to put under the trees. Xeriscape needs a lot of sun, not shade. Bark and gravel turn into a mess pretty quickly. You've got to water the tree anyway and the lawn does fine with infrequent watering. There may come a time when we can no longer water at all but without the trees we'd be using a lot more AC. Our house doesn't have it, yet.

riser 3 had an exemplary lawn.

No he didn't. And that guy was an asshole.

[Harry]

I bet riser5 gets Astroturf. And a Lambo.

I can’t wrap my head around why people have lawns.

I played baseball/football growing up and there is something really great about a nice grass field to play on. I still get that same warm fuzzy feeling from a nicely manicured fairway at a golf course. I have about 2500sf of pretty well manicured lawn in my backyard that is currently used and is intended to be used as a play area for my kid and dog- fetch, baseball, football, soccer, frisbee, running in circles till you fall down, wrestling, etc.

basically lawns are nice because they are big open areas that allow "activities". A nice lawn is nice because it feels better to play on- as soon as they invent field turf product that is durable enough for sports and doesnt give you turf burn im gonna save up and install that.
