Likewise. I found truly lovely people on the other place, much to my surprise. It is what you make of it. And also if I ran between soap boxes that much I’d be way fitter.

I agree that is often the case, the sense of smell is super tied to memory. I have a very meh sense of smell (deviated septum) and ADHD memory, but smell is one of the few transportive memory mechanisms I have. But you gotta be in it to smell it. The CT tobacco valley smells different than MA hills.

Associating the word “flavor” in any way with “kink” and that MFer just made me retch. Though kudos for the incredibly visceral point made.

There is no model in which these products become profitable. The overhead is astronomically high and will require defying the laws of physics to overcome. Meanwhile, they’re fleecing gullible businesses and governments blind on false promises of an everything tech that in fact does very little.

My best friend offered to enter a sham immigration marriage with me in 2016 (never mind that I was already married) she feared Trump so. Well, we’re both married mothers now. She now in Jordan, watching American Imperialism support genocide. And I at home, watching the American experiment dissolve

And also, and I cannot stress this enough, fucking stay and fight, however you can. If one actually has the means to flee and does so, they are abandoning their more vulnerable neighbors and family who cannot, making it that much easier for them to be ridden over roughshod.

Ah! I just realized last night that Freddie Fox was in House of the Dragon and kudos to him for his ability to be The Most Loathsome Little Turd on Slow Horses to his affable turn in Dragons. He’ll make a terrific Loki.

Much to my chagrin, apple’s in-built plant ID is fairly accurate, especially when plants are in bloom. PlantNet is also quite good for a mobile app. And as per the master gardener, if there are things threatening to bloom in succession, I’d think many are deliberate and not weeds 😀

The first thing I’d recommend is to try to ID as many plants as you can. Map them out if you have the ability, get a sense of the original plan. It can give you a good idea of what you might want to foster and others (perhaps higher maintenance/dying plants) you might relegate to compost for now.
