At that point you will have smoked 4% of 100 joints. Hey, math is easy.

Yes, this was clear at the time of the sale. I remember people talking about it and moving away from the brand.

Not really, it isn’t even the highest in the US. More like calling a random team the worst in the world because they didn’t help your fantasy football score.

Yeah, it usually used to indicate unwanted flowering, but in lettuces (and to a lesser extent, basil) it indicates the beginning of the flowering attempt by the plant. Most people will cull their lettuce after it bolts (stem starts to elongate into an inflorescence), but way before there are any open flowers or even buds.

Broccoli is weird though. We want it to bolt, but not really flower. That’s an odd thing for most plants.

Not exactly. It is bolting when it starts sending up a flowering stem, the very beginning of flowering. Every broccoli I’ve ever eaten has bolted, but not many of them have bolted and flowered.

What is a “leftover fries”?

Reminded me of this 3 min “nature documentary” about the ibis/bin chicken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4dYWhkSbTU

I think the best bet would be following recipes. That means finding recipes that minimize ‘to taste’ instructions. A lot can be done by look and texture, so you can be decent enough for anyone who’s not a snob. Also, err on the side of too little salt and put some on the table.

You can look at wildlife/pollinator gardening. There are different focuses like rewilding or even restoration. There are also a lot of companies willing to sell incredibly invasive plants while calling them nice things, so buy from a reputable source if you do buy plants or seeds.

Also, donate your time to review papers, an absolutely critical part of “peer reviewed journals”, for the people charging you both.

That’s a weird way to say “take a walk”, but ok.

Exactly what I was thinking. If I saw this I would look for hinges before stepping up.

Even worse, he is headed up. Why is he looking down?

When someone would ask, “Who wants to be 100 years old?” My grandpa would respond, “Ask someone who is 99.” I think that applies here. When will you feel like you can give up - well, why not now? What will be different when you’re 40 or 50? Why wouldn’t you want to be dating? Why wouldn’t you want your body to work?

These are real, current legs. The front 2 of the insect norm of 6

I absolutely agree that there should be a official name. My problem with birds is that there are 2 official names. The American Ornithological Society approves both of them (kind of). One is Latin/Greek/whatever in Genus species format - that is the one for science literature and taxonomy. The other is in English and silly in my opinion because that’s where people will use it to say nonsense like there is no such thing as a seagull.

There are weirdly rigid common names around birds. There is a whole thing about renaming them right now. They are essentially regulated terms that low level pedants respect. They are the same types of people who would correct you for calling Frankenstein’s monster ‘Frankenstein’.

The plant community is better. You could call a “sunflower” a “tall flower” and nobody would care. You might get a “oh, I’ve never heard that one” but never “there’s no such thing as a ‘tall flower.’” They just fall back to the scientific names when clarity is important.

IMO common names should just be useful. I will call any gull a seagull when talking to non-bird people because that is a term that is commonly understood and how effective communication works.

Wait. Was I not supposed to be talking about this? Next you’re going to tell me that sewage treatment is an innapropriate dinner party topic.

Absolutely! The positive emotions are easily the best of humanity.
