Flip the Pool!!! Flip the Pool!!!

I wouldn’t go that far but for presidential politics yes. Local you can dream big

What it sounds like is an 18 year old who doesn’t yet understand how the world works and how voting will work. You will never get a candidate (especially for president) who 100% matches what you believe. You got to pick the best realistic choice and try to get the best you can. Realistically a president has a limit to power and can’t get everything but if you care abortion rights Kamala is who you pick. And getting a nationwide right to abortion back isn’t nearly impossible. Its hard but not impossible

As long as he is hurting the “right people”…

People with political incentive to make the government to look bad are actively trying to make the government helpful response worse. I hope people are seeing how dangerous Trump and these right wing nutjobs are to normal people and normal Republicans

Culinary herbs like rosemary have tons of varieties. This is likely the reason but they should both be fine to eat.

The number of different basil varieties / cultivars in Culinary Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is mind blowing. That isn’t even counting the different species of basil such as holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum).

Ultra marathoners are complete badasses. Whenever people talk about the tough mudder and those other short races with stupid challenges as so cool and tough I just think about how badass the they hikers and ultras

Part of the trend of ditching organized religion is moving past what you were taught to critically think. That is a step in that direction.

We are in the midst of a huge generational shift right now. These trends especially among young adults will likely start changing one way or the other. I am going to guess that as some of these young men find female partners they will likely become less religious. I am thinking in a few years we will see this right twist of young men disappear with the gender gap shrinking towards a more leftist direction

The biggest scandal

Minnesota has free school lunch for all students. Thanks Walz…

I paid more in lab fees than tuition and textbooks

Not only that I’m sure they are making close to minimum wage. Raise that and families might make enough to not need to have their children need to work

Thanks!!!

When do got determine it’s time to pick the onions? We have them in the ground for the first time this year

Tree of Heaven can go to Hell!!!

Cultural shift for sure. What I have found is there have been decades of old hippies working on making things ready for millennials to jump on and convincing their friends to get to this point.

Not all exotics (those not from the Americas) would be considered invasive (those that threaten an area). Most weeds are really good at conditioning the soil and if left to decompose on the locations they grew can be great at building the soil. Pulling anything without putting something to replace it is a fools errand. Also everything that is exotic isn’t bad. White clover is European in origin and a great grass replacement. Also note that some common weeds such as the dandelion are listed as European in origin but there is significant evidence it was all present in North America.

Also make sure you keep some exotics to support the exotic bees such as the honey bee which are from Europe. If you live in an urban or semi-urban environment this is basically a new biome and will need to be treated as such. a Nice mix of things that play well together and are function for you is the best method

My neighborhood is showing a transition into gardens and native plants. Its interesting that it seems to be happening with both older (retired) neighbors and newer (young children) neighbors. Its helps that the local garden centers have been doing lots of natives and grass replacements.

Quick shout out to Prairie Moon to buy your seeds. Fall seeding is great for natives

Our two dogs have been destroying the clover at the same rate of the grass but grows faster back. Just overseed any gap with clover when there are bald or low spots
