Np, there’s companies who sell it as a wettable powder that you just mix in water and apply it with a sprayer. Works like a charm and doesn’t take much, think I bought a 25b bag like 4-5 seasons ago and it’s still at least half full.

but do they actually let you have one?

Haha yeah that tends to be the real problem with the dill strategy. Typically if we actually want a dill for ourselves we’ll plant one in a hanging planter away from the rest of the garden, otherwise the greedy little guys will eat it as well.

We’ve also used fennel in the past as well, dill and fennel seem to be their favorite for some reason.

Ultimately, it was Bacillus Thuringiensis (BT) which worked the best.

We’ve tried to step away from any kind of active pesticide, just because we get so many monarch butterflies where we’re at. Usually if they get on a plant we want to try and save we’ve had luck using kaolin clay. Which has a dual purpose as a sun protection during real hot summers.

When you do it it’s tyranny…when we do its democracy manifesting freedoms. You see the difference? Your soldiers had kings, our soldiers have burger king, it’s eloquently simple when you think about it.

A big GOP created “make work” program of security theater.

Less of a “make work” program and more of subsidy to keep the privatized airlines afloat.

Not sure how many people here remember the times immediately after 9/11, but a significant portion of the population were basically refusing to fly again for quite a while afterwards. Airlines were scrambling to get people to fly again and there were talks going around about them either going under or being socialized.

The TSA was basically a program meant to get scared Americans back on planes so airlines could maintain enough profitability to remain privately owned.

Yeah… Our education system isn’t big on political history, or really history in general.

I mean, it’s not atypical for Americans to completely redefine a political definition so badly it loses all meaning. Just look at how most of us define our “leftist” leadership…

Lol, right?

My dad was in the Air Force so we moved all over the place, but whenever we were stationed in the South in the 90’s I would often be the first Asian person to ever go to that school.

Doesn’t really mean a whole bunch if the “normal levels” of empathy are inadequate to create a humane society.

Anarcho-capitalism …aka edgy libertarian.

This is why my garden has at least a couple sacrificial dill plants. A couple fat caterpillars can wreck a dill plant, the little guys love dill but it usually grows fast enough to satiate them until metamorphosis.

I think a lot of people get really attached to the plants in their garden and have a reflex to attempt to subvert nature by sanitizing it. But there’s an old rhyme that I like to remember when it comes to remembering that we are part of a working ecology, not the masters of it.

Four seeds in a row: One for the mouse, One for the crow, One to rot, And one to grow.

Basically, expect most of your plants to fail before harvest. That has been the expectation since agriculture has been a part of human existence. It’s only in modern times where we actually expect to reap all of which we sow.

Most of the disposable e-cigarettes tested released markedly higher amounts of metals and metalloids into vapors than earlier, refillable vapes.

Yeah, seems to be an issue with a lack of commercial regulation than with the inherent technology itself. I am usually skeptical of any study toting cigarettes as the “safer” option, however this kinda keeps in pace with our society’s rapid devolution back to industrial age regulatory standards.

Industry’s regulatory and judicial capture seems to rear it ugly head once again at the expense of the public’s health.

You mean the guy selling me my leaded bone broth made an inaccurate observation about the dynamics of social hierarchies? These scientists are making claims that the accumulated lead in my brain is disputing.

I don’t know why people assume that the siren systems local governments install aren’t the affordable option…

What do you think is cheaper and provides the most safety…a single siren loud enough to cover a very wide area, or the state reimbursing hundreds of people to buy inadequately installed and tested sirens all over the place?

I can guarantee that if you had everyone install their own systems a significant portion would not be installed correctly, and another significant portion wouldn’t have the needed maintenance performed to maintain reliability.

I guess people don’t understand the innate cost effectiveness of consolidation at scale?

You literally are advocating for ethnic cleansing, in this comment chain. You just think that because it’s Good Ethnic Cleansing™, that makes it okay.

Lol, I haven’t… You’re just being disingenuous as always. Or your mental illness is warping your perception. If you read the first comment I made I said it wasn’t my belief but I understand why Palestinians would want Israelis to migrate back to Europe. You know considering that they are currently colonizing Palestine via genocide.

You haven’t once asked about my personal opinion, you’ve just been asserting what you want my opinion to be because you’d rather argue with your preferred strawman.

FYI- if it were up to me I would prefer there to be no genocide, and for the Israeli government to give back the illegally seized land back to the original agreed upon borders. However, I recognize that it’s not my people who are suffering from apartheid and genocide, and that those people have their own autonomy and will seek their own retribution.

Lord

Lol, what a fantastic rebuttal…

There is a difference between nationality and ethnicity. Otherwise every war in history would be considered an ethnic cleansing, which is just not true.

It’s not genocide if I say the magic words before doing it!"

“It’s a genocide because I declared it so”. Fucking moron.

The discussion was about the question of expelling Israeli immigrants for the crime of being immigrants, so no, those immigrants were not engaging in ethnic cleansing.

The question wasn’t about the individuals…it was about the state, as it has been the whole time. And you have the gall to talk about literacy and a especially integrity considering your entire argument is based on malicious interpretation.

^Please, tell me more about how ethnic cleansing isn’t genocide if it’s done to Bad Ethnicity™.

Already sent you an article about the delineation between decolonization and ethnic cleansing… And how that claim is often used by people who support apartheid and colonialism.

Christ. Imagine thinking you’re an enemy of Israel while eagerly swallowing literal Israeli propaganda meant to conflate the Israeli state with those it claims to represent, and then using that to advocate genocide and come off as a lunatic antisemite. And then being proud of what a catspaw you are for Mossad. Crazy what people will do and claim as a victory.

Israel is an ethno-state…it is the inherent flaw of ethno-states, there is no propaganda needed. Which is why ethno-states are bad.

Again, you are the only person claiming anyone wants to genocide Israel.

No, that’s literally the position that I’m criticizing, genius.

I don’t think you understand what an ethno-state is…

they defined ‘tribal lands’ as ‘all of America’?Uh, yes.

American is not an ethnicity…

defending colonialism because… I don’t believe genocide is the solution?

Again… Decolonization is not genocide. That is an argument made pretty much solely by colonialist. You’re basically regurgitating Elon musk.

Have fun wearing a swastika armband at Israel’s behest. Those of us who aren’t useful idiots and literal genocide supporters have more moral things to do, like not imitating Zionists and Nazis.

Lol, you’ve been defending Zionist the whole time… Please tell me, when Israel occupies Gaza and Palestinian ask them to leave…is that going to be ethnic cleansing? Or is it only ethnic cleansing if they occupy it for a generation?

Strawman, reread the entire post bud.

I think that’s a pedantic dispute considering you’ve made rebuttals against people claiming that good people were out numbered. Plus, what does “full of” even mean when it comes to judging the general morality of southern people? I think the generalization of the south being full of good people reads quite a bit differently than there are some good people in the South.

objectively true, yes from my own experience and yes minorities)

Generalities cannot be objectively true… Implying that something is full of good people implies a majority, as in a glass fullof milk, is not also full of water.

Decolonization is when you ethnically cleanse civilians for being born the wrong ethnicity. It’s DEFINITELY different from genocide!"

Lol, you are ridiculously hyperbolic and purposely conflating terms to the point where they don’t mean anything.

Once again you are ignoring the fact that Israel is the one who is dictating policy based on ethnicity. Meaning that it is they who makes it impossible to delineate the ethno from the state.

Would it be better if people just said Israeli nationals? Would it be ethnic cleansing if someone claimed Americans should be kicked out of tribal lands?

Literal Nazi shit. If you were raised in Israel, you’d be an enthusiastic Zionist murdering Palestinians right now.

Projecting much? You’re the one defending colonialism…

literally call Israel’s actions genocide several times in this very thread.

“People immigrating to Israel, in majority Jewish Israeli areas, where the Israeli state is recognized as having jurisdiction by international law and consensus, is not fucking ethnic cleansing, no.”

So a state is paying people to immigrate, and that state is also paying for the colonization of a neighboring state and forcibly moving the ethnic population…but since it’s not the same people it’s not ethnic cleansing?

Jesus fucking Christ. Thank you for demonstrating my point, Mirror Hasbara.

Lol, you don’t have a fucking point other than conflating decolonization with genocide.

I always find it weird that someone would just announce to the world that they require government intervention to get a girlfriend.
