The Nazis used to have arrest quotas too.

Lol on the kale. I like the way my farm’s setup works. You choose and pack your own box of vegetables so you can get what you want; like sometimes I want small carrots for snacking and salads, and sometimes I want hearty carrots for stews, etc. So there’ll be a list when you come in, like (this is all random):

• 1 pint of cherry/grape tomatoes
• 2 heirloom tomatoes
• 1 head lettuce
• 1 bag kale OR bok choy OR arugula
• Any 2 from eggplant OR squash OR zucchini Etc.

Which is a pretty nice way to do it. Also, while I’m not a huge kale fan, I’ve actually learned his to make some fairly decent kale chips in the microwave and they’re a cheap and healthy snack!

My main pain point is (of course!) lettuce month - the first month of the growing season, when the majority of what you’re getting is leafy green stuff. And the first box, your just SO happy for fresh vegetables, you’re like YES!! But then you have to eat your way through 3/4 bushels of leafy green stuff for another four weeks, and by the end of it, you’re just like, “Ugh! Not *again”!" Aside from stir fries and frittatas, my one blessing has been the discovery of lettuce soup. It’s not a particularly great soup, but it’s definitely edible, uses up a bunch of greens and (best of all) it can be frozen!

[I also welcome additional suggestions for using up large amounts of green stuff, with particular eagerness for anything that can be frozen or otherwise stored.]

You don’t have not-have an opinion on the US healthcare system, you just have to claim that your opinion on the healthcare system won’t affect your ability to reach an impartial verdict.

Oh, she’s lovely!

I bought a farm share (CSA). The farmer gets paid up front so they aren’t dependent on banks and the weather; I get a box of food every week during the growing season. No middlemen, fresher produce.

Tribeca is a neighborhood in Manhattan. Everything in Manhattan is more expensive, simply because of the cost to rent the store. [Not denying there are other factors, but that will be a big one, simply because Manhattan cannot grow outward any more.]

Rochester is a large city in the north of New York State, on the banks of Lake Ontario. It has plenty of room to grow out - and it’s surrounded by rural counties. Eggs are cheaper there simply because there are more chickens and less humans than there are near Manhattan.

Again, there are unfortunately other factors in play. But surely they could’ve used a better example than the price of eggs in two such disparate parts of the state?

TIL that 45-year-old Kash Patel has a girlfriend, and she’s 27 years old …

I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions about the steel bars blocking those doors from the outside. You can see them horizontally across the two doors on the left, and there’s one propped against the wall next to the door on the right.

1. These photos were taken a year after Epstein had been arrested, so the island was not in use at the time.

2. The islands (he had two) are both located in the US Virgin Islands, which are highly susceptible to hurricanes.

3. That crossbar looks very much like the crossbar in this video about installing hurricane shutters.

I honestly think you have come to the wrong conclusion.

The nice thing with reddit was that popular would surface communities I didn’t know about, and if it was something I hated, I could block it from my feed :(

Sure, go digging around the supervolcano, that can only end well …

Artie is going to pee in a moment …

They voted against support for Sandy too.

In my defense, I actually did have to get my prescription medications, but I didn’t buy anything else.

If anyone has an article with more technical details on what the solar radiation did, and how they’re going to patch it, I’d like to read about it :)

Not a direct answer to your question, but: the sun (like the earth) has areas that are more “geologically” active; those areas tend to throw out solar flares. As the sun rotates, the area that throws out these solar flares slowly faces toward the earth (solar maximum) then slowly rotates to face away from the earth (solar minimum). The solar cycle is roughly eleven years long.

Currently, we’re just slightly past solar maximum. For the past year or so, the “more active” part of the sun has been roughly facing earth and intermittently spitting out solar flares. When these flares hit the earth’s atmosphere, they cause auroras (which is why we’ve had so many auroras these past couple years) and can interfere with electronic and electrical equipment (see: the Carrington event).

I have no details on what l the exact damage that was caused by the interference the plane suffered, nor any knowledge of how they plan to address the issue. But whatever they come up with is going to take some time to develop - and we’re moving away from solar maximum so being hit with a massive flare is increasingly less likely - at least for another decade. My suspicion is that they’ll come up with a “solution” that actually may not work very well, but it works well enough to give the impression that they’re doing something - and it’ll look like it’s working to some extent, simply because the active side of the sun is rotating away from us.

Are we absolutely sure they didn’t place an order?

I’ll be honest - that’s less of an increase than I was expecting.

Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.

Togo? Why tf is Togo on the list?!

You might consider splitting it into two separate containers, one with first aid components (bandaids, etc) and the second with medications (Tylenol, etc).

I’d consider: a tiny packet of crazy glue. Ultra-thin 2-inch blade . A small pair of tweezers. A couple restaurant packets of sugar, for diabetics.

They’ve been entirely fine stoking (or actively ignoring the stoking) of political violence against the left, brown people, non-Christians, LGBT+, the poor, the physically and mentally handicapped, the homeless, immigrants, scientists, teachers, librarians, and public servants. And when the violence even looks like it’s turning their way their way, they don’t stand up and fight back, they slink off hoping it’ll pass them by while they make way for ever more extremists to take their place.

I hope all these opportunistic cowards follow Robespierre, overtaken and eaten by the things they promoted.
