Heirloom is just corn passed down from your pop-pop ;) (though the category now stands for rare varieties of corn that came from family farms or from the years long since passed).

Corn is amazing. My favorite use of it is for alcohol though.

You didn't learn about the Delaware Indians? Ohio valley? Cherokee or Tuskarora? How they fought for the British side as they saw American settlers as wanting to take their land (which was correct). The stamp act? The tea tax of just 0.02 that Boston decided, nah, and dumped into the harbor. It started with grievances and ended with the Spanish Fleet. It changed the world, not just founding America. (I got public education in the 80s/90s so YMMV).

There are 4 types of corn. Dimple/dent corn, pop corn, sweet corn, and flint corn. Each variety can be eaten. Prepared differently of course as they have different starches and flavors but the vast majority of corn fields in the United States grow dent corn for feed and biofuels.

We will look back on this experiment with the same ilk that we have for early screentime for smart phones and tablets as a profound mistake in early childhood development.

Kids learn most from peers and structure up until they are 10. Social queues and behaviors not taught by screens, AI, or your parents.

Yes, and they are all edible. But not all are palatable.

Now now, not everyone got a well rounded public education.

The corn grown that’s not for human consumption is only because it’s earmarked for feed or biofuels. Corn is corn. Where I live, 1 in 4 fields is “for human consumption”

I’m American but I know truths that aren’t taught in white washed Christian schools.

Our founding fathers would be licking their lips

Make no mistake, America was founded on greed. Our cries for Democracy and Liberty were only so we wouldn't have to pay the King's taxes. We wanted the western native lands that the British promised to protect with hired native americans. The notion that "All men are created equal" only applied to virtuous white men.

Also, France was eager to give hell to the British and the Colonies were a mere spat in the global theater once France entered chat.

What are you going on about? I was saying that they didn’t write any code it was all Claude. Obviously using Claude code.

Lack of experience and understanding of the computer at the fundamental levels.

The fallacy here is expecting an agent that has access to ALL your repos to respect the singular repo it’s in. It won’t. If it has access to all your repos and you ask it about a private repo you aren’t in - it will definitely go look at that private repo. This is like giving your dog a bone and then being surprised when he buries it in the backyard.
