Yep. I was going to link to a source, but in the source I believe Corey Taylor called the coronavirus "the flu", so I'd rather not link to it just for accuracy. Sure people can Google it though.

He seems to be taking it more seriously than that. Like he has called people who won't vaccinate idiots, or whatever word he used. Probably something stronger because he can be quite opinionated.
May have been comparing his symptoms to the flu, however (Dee Snyder said his case was about like a mild flu).

The news people probably misquoted him. Or I could have misread.

This might disturb some people. It's about a tortoise hunting a tern chick.

I saw a sea bird eat a baby alligator once. It was a news story, and the video autoplayed. Nature is weird and interesting.

I prefer the original version of the joke, where the programmer does it wrong. This joke portrays programmers as being in tune outside of code, something you honestly see rarely due to the involvement of the work.

I laughed hard about the original version of the joke, though. They did indeed have eggs. So that being true, the programmer got a dozen cartons of milk.

If you didn't want a drought, you shouldn't have dressed that way.

That's why I decided not to go into such a field.

Makes sense. I've fellowshipped with programmers before to have an idea. Not all programmers are like that, but some are - especially some of certain fields, more than others.

Yup. The land has been raped barren and dry and it's still going on. And people get mad with water restrictions. But we just don't have the rain to use the water like it's used in the MidWest, where farmers can irrigate worry free due to lots of rain and occasional flooding. Here the water table has been lowered so much the land is drawing in sea water.
If it were up to me vanity fountains would be the first to go, followed by lush, green lawns and thoroughly examining agriculture to see what changes can help preserve water and, if need be, reduce and even do away with crops that are just not well suited to the area (like corn).
