Yeah I have friends in San Jose and Methdesto they say the water situation is pretty grim. Not exactly a concern here.I’m planning on setting up an automatic watering thing on the balcony, but that’s more to do with laziness than water conservation.

Basically my situation is that I have to start plants inside and get them up to a decent size by mid may. I then have until mid September at which point growth is basically at a standstill due to the cold. First hard freeze usually comes in early October.

It’s also very satisfying growing things up here that really aren’t supposed to grow here. I’m going to try growing watermelon this summer.

Ok where I live is essentially a town built into the wilds and every spring the wilderness threatens to reclaim the streets. The sea, however is heavily polluted from commercial shipping and tourism so cutting down on things brought in from other places is more of a burning issue for me. The local farms supply all the meat and potatoes you could ask for but, pretty much all veg is shipped in from places with longer growing seasons. The chillis I buy are grown 2000 km away for example.

Meadowscaping is just not gardening. A more environmentally conscious idea is to grow your own vegetables, to cut down on the fossil fuel used to transport food and reduce the amount of money going to agribusiness.

Even if you don’t have a garden, you can grow things like tomatoes and chillis in pots if you have a window that gets good light. Anything you can grow yourself helps.

My country’s doing fine, but there are others that are quite concerned. Most notably the USA.

Weird! It’s almost like the country that a significant portion of the world rely on for protection turning into a literal fascist dictatorship is somehow significant. Who’d have thought

My partner likes it when I dress in a blue fur suit and start talking like cookie monster.

She then says something like “do you want a cookie, cookie monster?”

I then say (again, in the voice of cookie monster) “me not a cookie monster. Me a pussy monster!” And start enthusiastically eating her out.

Just something to consider.

Pretty likely. The chances of getting assassinated are essentially dependent on two things:

1. how easy would it be

2. how many people want to make it happen

I believe that there’s enough of the second to more than compensate for the first.

It’s spelled Elon Musk actually.

I really like those games. I just don’t want to be a character in them.

Yeah! Thank god that isn’t a thing! Also does anyone have the blueprints for tearblast arrows?

Not only am I in favour of the smart Americans moving here, I’m also in favour of sending the stupid Europeans to US.

Correct. I currently live significantly further north that Iqaluit and the snow is melting.

Would be worse to wake up and see your own portrait added to the wall.

Grew up atheist, went through a semi serious pagan phase, got certified as a shaman, went back to atheism. Will still throw in the odd ritual, but more with the expectation that it will affect the way I think about a problem rather than the ritual doing anything on its own.

So like if you have a job interview you can either raw dog it and show your lack of confidence or.preform a ritual and gain some confidence which will count in your favour during the interview.h

Is the ritual doing any direct alterations? No, but it’s still useful.

I’m not sure he can read tbh.

No need for a moderate candidate. If you have another election, people would happily vote for a mentally handicapped squirrel over whatever republican is running.

Oh no! Did Viktor Orban get his feewings huwt 😢
