Probably because it was a big event and everyone wanted to be out to watch the roads switch sides.

Aww what a sweet baby. I’m sure he appreciates the comforting after the vet <3

Yes! We call those her leg warmers too :D

Sure does! Another little standard issue cutie

Maybe a beef belly cut that’s been smoked and thinly sliced, similarly to regular bacon?

As someone with ADHD, the results of this study are encouraging, but limited. They summed it up well in the article, but the study only covered people who were self-microdosing and then self-reporting, which leaves lots of uncontrolled variables.

“This study is a naturalistic prospective study, meaning that we measured participants over time without manipulating any variables such as substances and doses they used for microdosing during the study,” Haijen said. “In contrast to a controlled lab-based study, where drug- and dose uniformity is guaranteed. Also no control group was included, so we cannot say if this effect was purely because of microdosing, or if other factors, such as placebo- or expectancy effects, were the main force behind the changes we observed. So this study should be seen as a first step in this research direction, as more and controlled studies will hopefully follow.”

Goodness, that is terrible, I see why they’re looking to replace it.

I know right? My first thought was put a heating pad on the windowsill, and the cat will be much more likely to choose that spot.

When it’s finally his turn with the brain cell.

Why thank you! There’s a few “genres” of cooking and baking that I know well enough to freestyle, and a lot of it is just tasting and knowing how to balance if you’ve gone too far in one aspect or another.

Like for example, I wouldn’t normally make this with corn in it, but I’d tossed a bunch of jalapenos in with the pork that had turned extra spicy with heat stress from a recent heatwave in my area. So in tasting the stew, I decided it was overly spicy, and dumping in a half cup of corn took the spice down a notch.

What a cutie!

That was my first thought, but I think the legend is just wrong, as I don’t see that second red next to the blue anywhere.

I grow pretty much everything from seed because it’s crazy cheaper (after some upfront costs). For the price of one or maybe a few seedlings, you can buy seed packets with hundreds of seeds. Seeds also make trying out unique plants possible, as often times nurseries don’t carry a wide variety to choose from.

Some of us embrace the crumb life.

Depending on the zone you’re in yes. I’m in 9b and rarely get freezing temperatures, so I can grow things over winter that might not survive in colder areas. Some brassicas are especially frost tolerant, so it would be worth looking into and seeing what you can grow in your area.

I tell her she’s a pretty kitty all the time ^-^

It’s not the age of the person, it’s the number per 100,000.

Well made video, I appreciated the various breakdowns they did in terms of cost per watt, weight, and square footage.

You sure can walk through it, it’s tall enough my 6’ fiance fits standing underneath. We usually only barely kiss freezing a few times in the winter, so I haven’t bothered to use it to try to keep things warmer. I weave tomatoes over it in the summer and peas in the winter.

I need to take an updated photo (the arch is fully covered now), but here’s a before/after of pruning and weaving this year’s tomatoes on it after they went wild when I was on vacation in May:

Yep! I wanted to kill the pervasive bermuda grass without RoundUp, so I used ChipDrop in late 2021 and got something like 70 cubic yards of mulch piled on my front lawn. Gave a little bit away, but used most of it to bury the grass around my front yard garden, which is about 1,750 square feet in total. Here’s a before and after.

Annoyingly the grass is so persistent, it’s still poking up through the mulch, but by pulling those stolons when they appear, we’re slowly winning a war of attrition. I don’t use the mulch on my raised boxes or where I’ve planted in the ground, there I use straw, but I run drip lines under the straw so it really shouldn’t matter for water infiltration.

I have noticed a massive uptick in the bugs in my yard, the mulch is decomposing fast and is loaded with worms, millipedes, grubs and beetles, which has brought a lot more birds around too. I also noticed that the tomatoes I planted in the ground adjacent to the mulch took off way faster than those in my boxes, despite the boxes having been filled with the same soil from the front yard (excavated for a driveway expansion), and lovingly amended with excellent compost.
