I hear this a lot but where is it happening? Definitely not in the discussion in NS.
Dont get me wrong, fuck the PCs but I havent seen any real evidence of replacing our public medical system.
Wont even touch my migraines. Ibuprofen is the only thing Ive found that works. Ive had them since childhood.
Ibuprofen is for my migraines only. Nothing else touches those damn things.
Yeah Im that guy who routinely calls the cops in my town when cars are parked on the sidewalk. Ive called so many times I rarely see it in my neighborhood anymore.
The being cooperative thing is the key.
Id be willing to bet my left testicle those that survive an apocalypse are those who work together to grow food, build shelter, etc. and not the goobers who lock themselves in a crate with some beans.
Yeah having lived in both countries, until recently the US was miles ahead in admitting its wrongs on Indigenous people. Things are starting to change here but I was amazed when I first moved to Canada how few knew the history.
Yeah Im with others on this. We were taught this and all the gory details. Same with slavery. We were not sheltered from the reality of any of it.
Just to give you some clarity, in 9th grade our teacher told us a historical account in which a slaveowner punished his slave by literally shitting in his mouth and sewing it shut.
We were made to understand the brutality of slavery.
This is for same sex couples which for a large variety of societal reasons likely wont reflect the dating scene among the average population, which skews heavily hetero.
You say spoiling but we get to see a Martian dust storm. Thats pretty rad.
As someone with rich Italian heritage, you disgust me. May god have mercy on your soul.
This Land is Your Land is also not the patriotic song people think it is. At least, not in the way people think it is.
I bought a simple spin bike thirdhand. Guy who owned it before me got it from a gym. You twist a knob and it increases pressure on a leather brake. Its built like a tank.
Its great and like you say, if I wanted I could just look up spin videos on youtube for free.
Why would I bother with a Peloton?
Why do stretchy bread bags turn crinkly after being in the freezer?
So every time we get bread it comes in a stretchy bag. However, once we pull it out of the freezer later the bag is noticeably more crinkly and brittle. Anyone know why this is? I can't seem to find an answer to this phenomenon anywhere.
Plastic Raised Beds in Winter?
Hi all. When I bought my house I also inherited several plastic raised beds. The previous owner told me to mound up the dirt every winter so the soil wouldnt expand and crack them.
I was wondering if this is actually necessary or just something they thought they needed to do. I have never heard of this before but then again, Ive always only had wooden ones before.
Im trying not to till the soil too much so Id like to avoid mounding it if I can. Does anyone here have plastic raised beds? Do you mound the soil or leave it as is?

Oh how the tables have turned...
Not sure Im ready for one of these 'internal combustion' cars I keep hearing about. Until they can sort out the risk of the flammable liquids you have to put in them from catching fire it seems too dangerous and impractical.

Weed of the Week: Ground Ivy (Glechoma hederacea)
Ground ivy can be found in many countries around the world and grows aggressively. It is often viewed as a highly invasive weed in lawns and gardens. It is notoriously hard to remove and control.
The good news? It tastes like mint (sort of). Ground ivy makes a good mint substitute and can also be used as an herb in cooking. Makes sense since it is part of the Lamiacae family which includes well known herbs such as basil, mint, oregano, and thyme.
Being an abundant and easily identifiable weed with few lookalikes, its an easy plant for beginners to cultivate. It is best to pick the smaller leaves as the larger ones can be bitter.
Note: A bit like cilantro, the taste is a bit polarizing. Some people love it, others find it unpalatable.
Got this little Sempervivum today!
After trying (and failing) to rescue an overwatered Echeveria plant from the supermarket, I sort of got addicted to succulents and went out and bought this one. I have no idea what Im doing but Im hoping starting with a healthy one will be a better introduction.
