Thousands more people to join the growing protests.

Didn't have kids. Volunteer at local parks working on specialist plants. Look forward to not waking up one day.

Hoarding wealth in greater quantities than you could ever use in order to have power over others desperate to just survive is abusive to start with. They're probably exposed to other people with all variants of abusive tendencies and trained to believe they are better than and deserving of the suffering of others. Being raised in that environment will definitely encourage a much higher proportion of other abusive behaviors.

We're on the vertical part of the graph now. CO2 concentrations for the last 800k years. We're fully 25% over the maximum free CO2 over that period. Investments in extraction are still accelerating. Atmospheric methane, while shorter lived, is at the highest we've ever seen.

Climate averages are based on 30 year moving averages, generally. But there's every reason to believe we're into the hockey stick now. You can't simply put away atmospheric carbon that took geologic processes millions of years to sequester and we're not even slowing down. Even while regenerable sources take up a larger proportion of power generation, we're not drawing down the bad sources. We're just increasing our capacity for power consumption.

The C-level staff are just going to use this to justify bonuses in the face of poor quality and faltering sales. They never pass up a scape goat. Bastards.

I could see Gary Oldman feeling that way about that role. Love the movie, but yeah.

They know these games sell systems. This and another recent headline about PS+ titles being Sony exclusives costing the company amount or whatever....
They know a huge part of why these projects are worth the cost is outside of sales of that game and as a mechanism to maintain market dominance.
(Edit: a word)

Back in my day, X was ecstacy.... and we liked it.

Blockchain DNS seems like a good idea some days, but other days the entirety of the internet seems like a huge mistake.

A church that believes in drinking blood as a part of their sacrament calling civilian deaths a 'harvest' is sure an interesting look.
I mean the IDF is fucked and the situation they've caused in Gaza is a humanitarian catastrophe. But, this feels like he's whining that someone else's blood god is stealing all the blood.

I haven't found any good resources even in urban areas. There's just not much there for older NDs. Everything is geared towards children. Also, think it's very unknown how much more exhausting masking gets as you get older. It's not something you just get better at, it still takes a lot of effort and as you age and energy levels drop it becomes more and more unsustainable.

Pretty sure the first minds to be controlled by generative AI work on the floor at the stock exchange.

Sounds like he knows he's losing, Russia's overseas assets are about to be seized and he has nothing left to bargain with. Time to find out, dumbfuck.

They definitely can overwinter. And, in your climate that should be possible.

Couple of things:

• they don't grow well over the cold months and go into a sort of semi-dormancy.
• pruning them heavily before spring seems mostly detrimental. they may try to push new growth which will suffer, and seem to benefit from a cloak of leaves/dead stuff.
• they don't tend to do well in subsequent years. the center of the stem doesn't become woody and instead starts to rot out. (I've done it several times. They have problems.)

If you end up with a plant with some viable shoots come January/February and you're not expecting any frost, rooting some cuttings or layering from the original plant can give you viable starts for spring planting. (This probably makes the most sense in your scenario.)

If you plan on starting from seed, most places that sell starts get theirs going first week of January. They have a small seed and take a while, especially in cool weather, to get good enough size for transplant.

The other option is seeding in place, which preserves the native taproot damaged in the transplanting process. This can result in more vigorous plants, but can be challenging in terms of weeding and managing pests. (With you growing on a balcony, the benefits/challenges here might be minimal.)

Can't even tell they're in there by the time they're done. Plus, the skin has more protein and nutrients than the rest of the potato. All the stuff that's good for you is in the skin. Whole point of this recipe is you can eat them without knowing they're even there.

He's got no assets to seize (already seized the western assets he could) and his diplomats are a fucking liability snapping photos of our lawmakers with hookers and drugs.

His threats sound more like favors. It's like he's asking countries to take Russian assets and offering free blowies along with.
