Most plants that are hardy enough to survive winter will do well with a fall planting. So most perennials for sure. Brassicas are another great cool weather crop. Lots of options, just not summer things like tomatoes, squash, etc.

It was for staying too late in a public park. It was meant to be closed after dark. I overstayed by like an hour.

I think there’s a big difference between breaking and entering and trespassing. Going into a restricted area is more like the latter. Although there’s the whole ethics of a prison to consider as well but I don’t want to get into that.

But yes there may be a small number of situations where public access should be forbidden but right now that’s a minority of all of the completely unnecessary restrictions that exist.

I remember when I was young I got ticketed for trespassing on public property. I was so offended. Yet that’s the society we live in. Public resources aren’t for use by the public, they are for use by the small fraction of the public who control them.

So you think the vacancy rate in expensive areas is 50%? That is extremely wrong.

Most people hate or are ambivalent to trees. It’s pretty shocking. If you ask them, they’ll say they love trees but offer to plant one on their property or in their park and you’ll soon see why there aren’t more trees in cities. The primary reason is many people kill them or fight against planting them in the first place.

To be fair, a lot of them are children. But also some adults. It’s more common than you would think.

Plus we now have a new category of dum-dums: “But the app said it was edible!”

Again, I don’t want to imply that eating wild mushrooms is inherently safe. Just that it’s not difficult to learn how to do it safely.

You’re not wrong but it’s still a distinct crowd from the Rittenhouse type people. Usually the enlightened centrists are very concerned about violence but I guess the courts gave them a shield to suddenly be comfortable with killing in this instance. Maybe I was naive to take their stated opinions at face value.

Well at a certain point you have to take responsibility for your own actions. I’m just saying it’s not hard to learn if you actually have the right instruction, either from someone who does know or from quality guides. The issue is as a beginner, you may not know what that looks like.

By the way, most poisonings happen when people just eat random things without even attempting to identify them. So it’s not like they died from the deadly false button mushroom or something. They’re just morons.

They definitely don’t all look the same haha. I’ve picked and eaten thousands of mushrooms without issue. Most people can learn how to do it in an afternoon with proper instruction (not on your own though, there is real danger if you don’t know what you’re doing).

Most wasps are actually not aggressive at all. We just don’t notice those ones.

Well, I didn’t get that sense. They seemed more like “enlightened centrist” kind of people. But who knows.

Yeah I was pretty shocked at how widespread his defenders were. Regardless of whether what he did was technically self defense or not, it’s clear he’s a bloodthirsty right-wing fanatic. There’s no need to defend his public image, even if you agree with the verdict.

The worst thing is I’ve never consented to them having my DNA but they have half of it anyway thanks to my brother…

Lol you’ll have to elaborate on this one. What’s so scary about soil science?

No real reason to burn down the building but I appreciate the sentiment. Certainly if I had to pick one…

Are you? You’ve already jumped to spreading an outlandish theory that has no evidence behind it. That’s not what I would consider reserving judgment.

Will you disavow this theory if no evidence subsequently emerges?

Show me one iota of evidence that suggests Biden is involved in this.

And by the way, crime in NY is near historic lows.

It will get much better over time but it always kind of sucks. I highly recommend reorganizing your life to avoid driving as much as possible if you can. The less you do it, the happier you’ll be.

I strongly disagree with this advice. A driver should try to be aware of all of their surroundings at all times. This may not be practical 100% of the time depending on your mental capacity and what you’re doing but you should still try.

Driving safely is difficult. People who shy away from this difficulty kill people.

Corner store with basics: 5 min Supermarket: 15 min Restaurants: 5 min Park: 3 min Bus stop: 5 min Library: 15 min Local rail: 20 min Regional/National rail: 40 min

All walking distances. I live in a neighborhood that was designed before cars existed so it’s more like Europe in terms of distances/amenities. Except our transit infrastructure is shit.
