Farming in dry areas
(lemmy.world)
I believe that I found these in Egypt, but I am not 100% sure. Some times I get lost looking for cool places and end up in random places!
That is in Saudi Arabia. Not that far from the border with Jordan.
GPS 30.0095403, 38.3257591
Those are mostly alfalfa fields that Saudi decided to use a fossil aquifer to water. Their wells are running dry and which is why there is so many abandoned fields. These are areas they don't have enough water. It's mixed in with date palms now as well.
Dude... did you just recognize this? how did you know? I took these pictures when I also took some pictures of Egypt and didn't even notice that I had drifted so far away, when I found these fields!
I am speechless!
It's a very distinctive area from the pictures. It also helps that I have been there.
1:10 do not recommend a visit - too hot, no booze, mediocre food, and everyone smokes way too much. The oppressive culture isn't that great either.
You need to explain why you're putting three spaces between sentences.
People using typewriters often used two spaces after a full stop.
Hey now, I feel attacked.
We had half the typing lab full of IBM's with 5.25" floppies running WordPerfect 5.1
The other half was the IBM selectric typewriters.
Oh and "Get off my lawn!!!"
The apostrophe kills your entire story.
IBM might have leased them to them.
What's the logic for that?
To get a wider space than between words. Computers usually adjust spaces automatically so you don't need to do it yourself.
And now they are growing alfalfa in California if all places to export to Saudi Arabia
