      A sexton is a religious position (not that kind of position, you scoundrel).

      A sextant is a device for measuring latitude, usually at sea.

        Sextants can also give you your longitude if you have some star charts and a good chronometer

          I used to have that problem. One of my Samsungs it would constantly turn itself back on all the time.

              I love that this guy became a meme because he did a huge amount of work perfecting no-till agriculture, and saved waterways and farmland all over the world with his techniques.

              He deserves to be remembered forever in meme form. Honest work, indeed.

                I didn’t know that. I honestly thought he was just some farmer from a random interview that went memey
