What happens when they get waterlogged from rain, mouldy and warped?

Much of the timber is transported and sat in water to begin with. The weathering could cause warping and mold, etc, but a great deal of the timber industry at this time in this area was harvesting and processing old growth trees that were so compact that warping was minimal and any mold could just be wiped off. These planks were also not sitting in these stacks for long.

Did they ever have issues with termites?

Yes and no. Termites were there but not a consistent issue for making and shipping planks. Their habitats are destroyed in the sawmill process and these stacks were moving out and shipped out rapidly for termites to meaningfully colonize. It was easier to ignore and discard termite damaged wood as it was processed than anything.

What is the black abyss below him, is he on a stack of wood that is casting a shadow or has the ground texture.png not loaded in correctly?

I am willing to bet: dock and/or barge. So water, but its 1937 so lighting is not everywhere.

Being the early 1900’s, did workers smoking while stacking wood regularly cause fires?

Not really. It’s all so wet for a cigarette to cause a fire.

Now the sawmill had fuels that were flammable, but this isn’t like mattress foam warehousing. This is solid, fresh wood that isn’t going to ignite from a cigarette.

It seems inescapable that any mention of Piefed moderation provokes discussion of Lemmy politics. It was a pretty neutral portrayal of the threadiverse options and this kind of reinforces that assessment, quite frankly.

Yep. Back around 2013 when the national credit rating slid down it became legal/not prohibited to do so after a lawsuit.

Eh, maybe. Thanks for providing the context for the assumption. I am not sure that makes them the same user, but it is shit if that’s support for whatever Beep is trying to do. It ain’t worth carrying water for anyone here, at any rate.

Block these accounts from the same user

How do we know it’s the same user? I know there’s vendetta against one, and the other just came out of the woodwork very recently with this whole silly crusade.

So I wouldn’t have made any sort of connection between the two accounts so I assume there’s some confirmation of that somewhere?

There are actually a few twitch streamers that have political experience who stream about politics. They’ve run for office, or worked in D.C., so they have some interesting insights.

But that’s not Asmongold by a longshot.

Are they the same user that trolls this community by nuking every thread after a day or two?

It’s a still frame from a video.

You know, I think Depeche Mode is a really sweet band!

I can feel the stress and exhaustion emanating from this image.

It was a neat Warcraft 3 custom map.

Then it got weird.

It’s saved by Castle Rat, obviously.

They’re a nobrainer anywhere they’re allowed, yes.

That’s very possible. On second look there are a few materials that seem more set into the ground. However even the plant growth over them still might fit a time period that includes this currenr spring and last spring. (Assuming this isn’t Australia or anything.) But it could be a favorite dump site for some slumlord in the area.

Also, I have seen garbage piles with moss because the landlord had scraped everything out of a property and dumped it into a ravine. Moss and other plants could easily come with the dump too. But it’s also on netting material which is great for rapid moss growth. But more than one dump is very plausible.

I did solid waste dump responses when I worked for a health department.

When people who can’t pay to dump have trash, they dump it in the woods, ravines, forestry roads, etc.

Usually the drive to dump trash is when someone dies and someone else is having to clear out their effects, be it family, a landlord, or some worker. Or someone is evicted from their home, vehicle, or encampment.

Otherwise most people hoard it until they die or are evicted.

Two would be pushing it. The leaves would have matted more and built up in greater amounts. Put out last spring is my estimate: that’s one year of detritus.

Assuming this isn’t just two feet off the side of a trailhead or something.

It’s been over 20 years, but I do remember the acupuncture was beneficial. The physical therapy exercises helped with a shoulder injury, and it was accessible for a laborer without insurance.

I should also mention they were also religious and gave you a pocket bible every visit. It was a very different time and location in my life.

Yeah I think he also said he fixed a deaf janitors hearing by popping a neck vertebrae into alignment, if I remember the lore. This was ‘drink heroin for medicine’ era too.

Yeah I was using common nomenclature. I don’t recall if they were licensed dietitians or not.

The one sold supplements and vitamin tinctures his wife made, so they weren’t far off from the unlicensed category. But they were both also licensed/certified physical therapists and masseuses. He had done some kind of sports medicine if I recall correctly before starting his business.

The other guy was really into the whole gambit of chinese herbology and such, but he kept himself grounded with physical therapy regimens and promoting tai chi every other sentence.

I mean, that’s kind of the implication.
