I have a chevy volt. Its a (weird) hybrid so slightly different (I think it runs the engine, but it CAN run it standing still. When it needs heat, plugged in it hums differently then unplugged.) Even though its like 8 years old at this point, even it knows to run to keep itself warm. It 100% has to be either cheapness, lazy design, or unwillingness to cut range in winter. But I mean… I can still drive just fine and it was near 0F last night lol.
DS was good, but the 3DS saw the switch to the soulless 3D mobile phone ascetic that dominates low end gaming now.
I got a little sad when my character told a bigot to shut up, he told me some bs, and I called him out for being foreign too. (one of the better options given)
I then blow him up with a fireball after the crowd agrees with me and turns on him. Of course, the game sees it as murder, because they didn’t code it to be different, but damn in my canon that guy is a pile of soot. It kinda sucks that only RPGs like BG3 are brave enough to take the stance of “Remove all bigots by force if needed”, but only because killing Evil McMurderlord is fun. But I’m glad at least they let you say it.
Some people do it, some grow it in more appropriate areas. But reintroducing it requires the actual land, and an effort to clean it of invasives and anything else that caused it’s status previously.
For human use, see https://youtu.be/CpM5-xJZKbQ . Guy grows it for NAC use. Fair warning that channel is NSFW and the guy can be a bit abrasive but he does some good work putting out high quality footage of a diverse range of plants. And in this case, shows off someone trying to stem the harm of humans on their environment.
Also, from what I gather, most of the damage is from white people misusing peyote, and the US government punishing anyone who isn’t NAC related who tries to grow it.
Edit: Also I see the other comments, that channel is Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t. Look around for his intro to botany and guerilla gardening videos. Importantly, you’ll want to look for other content specific to your local area! I think one of his guerilla gardening was in California so its pretty specific. The USDA has some ok resources, lots of universities have good guides on planting native (search your area, state, city, etc, plus native or sustainable gardening), and https://www.prairiemoon.com/ has some good search tools to show seed local to your area. They can be a bit pricey, but it can be a good start.
Also its important to just have fun! I don’t worry about planting entirely local or native. Even if you plant just a few plants, it can be a good start! Gardeners tend to be pretty good people, so don’t be afraid to ask around either.
Americans insist on using exact conversions, which makes switching to metric harder because if you actually used metric. Honestly, at this point I’m convinced its an effort to keep metric “unintuitive” by teaching exact vs teaching it from a more native approach.
Ironically, my conservative schooling did better by comparing a gram to a fly, km to half a mile, etc.
Kinda unrelated but damn, I feel like microsoft loves putting every option under 20 submenus. I don’t think its even them trying to hide it from the “dumb” users who might mess something up. I just think they seriously don’t understand how difficult it is to find some options that should be easy to change.
Like why can’t it be Options > Proofing > Writing Style > Inclusiveness. Hell if they want to keep the silly File> it still would be a lot more obvious. I’m in the options menu, I don’t need 20 sub menus stating these are options or settings!
Anytime I see a conservative complain about college professors, I just know they have never stepped in a classroom. Like half of my (outside of the humanities) professors were basic Mitt Romney tier conservatives. Most of the “liberals” would give their lives for a conservative. Unless the professor was LGBT+ or an open ally, they never expressed anything close to a left idea.
My college let people put up fake “abortion” pics and go around with loud speakers bitching about (derogatory sexist terms here). A professor finally got ousted by posting racism on twitter, a bunch of his students and assistants complained about being weird about race, sex, etc, and he got canned. He got his spot back after a year because of tenure. Dude literally compared the nword to people calling Trump orange in class, but hey conservatives are the most oppressed. Economics and history depts were typical conservative/liberal shit. Ironically, the comp sci dept was ok, but the new head was an older tech bro who complained about women not wanting to join their dept. The best teacher they (the CS Dept) had was openly gay, he was pretty cool but strict, and he finally left for an ivy league last I heard. Him and 2 other professors were holding that place together. I bet they’re going to tank everything because they won’t stand up to conservatives in FL.
TLDR: Academia in America is as a rule extremely conservative.
I was perma’ed twice and appeal spammed them and got it undone both times. On my third right now and looks like they made it so you can’t submit multiple appeals directly anymore. So instead I’ve submitted like 15 requests in like 4 days through their other system. Liberals now have to deal with me spamming them there too.
Used to be that telling them to kill their boss would eventually hit the right rep and they’d unban you. Guess the slaveholder wannabe heard and they fixed it. o7 to the single comrade undoing liberal censorship at the reddit admin staff.
The only bad news is that this didn’t happen half a century ago. ( 🦀 still )
Counterpoint, I am extremely white looking, with Italian and English ancestry, and cracker being a slur “against” me is the funniest concept ever. If anyone called it me in an earnest attempt to insult or hurt me, I’d probably be hurt only by laughing. Especially being from Florida where there was a running gag of Florida Crackers (a historical term/job description), being a semi-common joke slur used.
They’re berries. It’s in the name! Checkmate botanists.
I felt so bad recently. Had to destroy some near my side door because delivery people were starting to put stuff there for ??? reasons. They also were starting to fly into the garage and get stuck and mad.
Like guys can’t you go colonize a log or maybe the flower pot I put upside down explicitly for bumble bees.
“democracy” China was/is already more democratic then any western “democracy”
If unemployment hits 40%, there would actually be a revolution (lib, fash, or real). Even this bozo gotta know that. Like, HALF of everyone who wants to work being out of work??? It would be society rending. The Great Depression “only” hit 25%. 40-50% would be actually insane.
So… critical support to Tim Gurner thought?
The whole podcast is pretty good if you want a long form deep dive into HP. They’ve also done Twilight and did an episode on The DaVinci code. They’re pretty good politically from what I can tell.
I really enjoyed listening to them on commutes or walking back when I was finishing up college.
Listen, only Joe Biden can promote violence. Anyone else? Instantly sent to
