Eu vivo em zona de eucaliptais.
Sim, a árvore é um cancro e o plantio é abusivo, especialmente em zonas com escassez de água (que o último inverno inverteu mas continuemos) mas é uma fonte de rendimento para muita gente.
Como não temos os tintins para plantar cânhamo para produção de papel, até lá o que podemos forçar é que mais gente faça a devida gestão florestal.

Portuguese and, aledgelly, one of the biggest european paper paste and paper products manufacturers.
They don't have a direct shop but search for their products.
The Arch users being so vocal is more of a trope to me. Never fails to make me smile.
Ubuntu started as a great endeavour. They made Linux much more approachable to the less tech inclined user.
It is an achievement to get a distro capable of basically work out of the box that hides the hard/technical stuff under the hood and delivers a working machine, and they did it and popularized Linux in the process.
Unfortunately, they abused the good faith they garnered. The Amazon partnership, their desktop that nobody really enjoyed, the Snap push. These are the ones I was made aware of but I risk there were more issues.
I was a user of Ubuntu for less than six months. Strange as it may sound, after trying SUSE and Debian, when I actively searched for a more friendly distro, I rolled back to Debian exactly because Ubuntu felt awkward.
Ubuntu is still a strong contributor but unless they grow a spine and actually create a product people will want to pay for, with no unpopular or weird options on the direction the OS "must" take, they won't get much support from the wide user community.
That's ingenious.
People will allow everything to achieve their 15 minutes of fame.
That's a sub trope that makes me wonder: why animate a corpse when animating the skeleton alone achieves the same purposes? For visual impact?
And even in magic universes, physics still afects everything. Frost freezes the undead, heat cinzes their flesh, etc.
I like the zombie trope but you really can't get only the good parts and leave out the bad ones.
If zombies are rotting corpses, every carrion eating insect is going to have a field day. Plus any other predator or even any animal feeling threaned.
Plus the weather. Heat accelerates decomposition. Cold burns tissues. Water logfing from rain would be a nuisance, at least. Too dry, you get mummies.
There are too many things wrong in this entire situation.
If you did not want children, you should not had let your partner pressure you into it. And that 5 figure she wanted tells me she was indoctrinated to be a brood mare, not an independent woman.
Have you tried your best? Are you still trying? Yes. But I risk things will only get worst in the future between you and your partner. Respect was broken; that is the worst that can happen in a relationship.
Regarding the child - and I am going to be cold and cruel here: man up.
That child did not ask to be conceived and born. Their entire world is you - again, because regardless your state of mind, you seem a lot more involved than the mother - and even though the connection isn't there, consider it a duty towards a completely defenceless human being. I'm not telling you to love them but to protect and care for them as if you were in their situation: show kindness and respect.
Which you seem to be showing and makes you a bigger human being.
There is no magic solution for this situation. Sincerely speaking, it wasn't the right time for that child to be born, if ever, but they're here now. Find a solution as adults.
I wish I could spare some face to face time to hear you out and give some real support but I fear we live in too far away parts of the world for that to happen.
Be brave and be honest, just like you've been doing and done here.
This is evil and yet I can not censor it.
Do it. Have some fun. Tease Darwin.
Thank you for the help and link.
That is exactly the layout of the card I was looking at.
Thank you.
Because this needs to be a regular thing, come forward warriors and announce the feats you have achieved! For the glory of the Empire!
I'm in Europe, where american football isn't a thing and the NFL is nothing we care about.
We also tend to have better standards to serve and eat our food.
So why am I to find this crap in Lidl?
Let's keep posting our treasure hauls, to spite the americans.
Ambos sabemos que o eucalipto cresce a um ritmo que àrvores autóctones não crescem e por isso é tão cultivado. E não comparemos o cânhamo a uma árvore, quer porque cresce muito mais depressa, porque não requer as extensões de terreno que árvores requerem para produzir a celulose equivalente e porque pode conviver com outras culturas.
Consigo imaginar com algumas facilidade plantações de cânhamo de norte a sul, com os campos abertos do Ribatejo e Alentejo. Mesmo nas zonas mais montanhosas seria fácil de implementar a cultura em campos menos extensos, devolvendo algum interesse económico a pequenos produtores.
Quanto a esforços de reflorestação, sérios, não há.
Como vivemos numa lógica de que não se pode constrangir a livre iniciativa económica (treta!), o plantio de pinheiro não é restringido, porque cresce rápido e é uma madeira apta para o mobiliário e construção civil e com necessidade mínima ou nula de regadio.
Ignoremos que um pinhal é uma acendalha natural...
Isto deixa a Serra da Estrela e interior, zonas onde o pinheiro não pertence, à míngua de incentivos e apoio à reflorestação autóctone, que é sabido gera muito mais dinheiro por hectare e de muitas mais formas que a porra do pinhal mas só se pode extrair esse valor numa janela temporal acima dos 50 anos.
E toda a gente quer dinheiro já. Especialmente quem dele não precisa.
