golf is fun but can only truly be enjoyed guilt free in Ireland, where everywhere looks like what a golf course is built to look like anyways there are some golf courses here that use native grasses for everything except the green and recycle their water and other more environmentally friendly things, and there are a few that are owned by the city that are cheap to play at and have very cheap equipment rentals so anyone can go play for 15-20$, but the vast majority of it is Not Great!!

the only good golf course is in my hometown, the green is 75% moss, there’s no idiotic membership rules, and you occasionally have to play around a moose every other golf course could be turned into literally anything else and be better for society

i went to walmart hq once when i worked at motorola, to demo some code. to get in the building you have to go through a security rigamarole that is more strict than the airport line. they do this b/c theyre scared of employees coming in and doing mass murder suicide shootings. they were the first company to put giant concrete anti car-kamikaze bollards in for the same reason bentonville high school is a hugely dominating force in the arkansas HS football scene because walmart gives you a bonus if your kid is huge the co-owner of my computer janitor job place spent six months doing cable diagrams to wire up the Museum of Murican Art, and the waltons took his plans, said "thanks" and hired subcontractors to implement his scheme. Did not make a penny.

they have a shitload of those LED billboards but they're really cheap and the people that sell them don't understand the difference between reflective and emissive light sources so at night you get your retinas destroyed by #FF0000 red impact font trash graphic design is my passion billboard art

A former yosposter and now lifelong friend of mine moved to Bentonville to write code for walmart. He would troll them by using nested ternary expressions, which their code reviewers could not understand and always flagged.

the best part about meatloaf is that almost anyone can take a crack at it and refine the recipe until it's perfect. very accessible dish for home cooks. I prefer to make it just on aluminum foil or w/e rather than a loaf pan even vegetarians/vegans can make something that (even if only to them) can be considered truly excellent
