They’re naked seeds. I get you.
- Comment on Dahlia Help 1 week ago:
I’m no Dahlia expert, but I’m offer some thoughts.
Transplanting is a bit traumatic. Did you give it lots of water?
It’s interesting though because the leaves and the buds look pretty good (not water stressed).
It may just that it was a bit stressed and have to on that flower.
Is the flower stem damaged in any way?
- Comment on What's a small cleared space in a forest where people can live called? 3 weeks ago:
Old English was ‘den’. Place names ending in ‘den’ or ‘don’ were originally farmsteads cleared in the forest, i.e. Wimbledon, or Camden.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. They’re naturally superior.

That sounds like Gabor Maté’s work.

He he he … No. It’s closer to skwurl.

No. It’s feminine because you put dirty things in it.

- Comment on Russia's Africa Corps marches in to replace Wagner group in the continent's coup belt 2 months ago:
Ahh … Ok. You’re suggesting that this piece of news is being played up right now because someone invested in the US military-industrial complex is seeing the stage for US military involvement in Africa. That’s plausible.

Oh. Are you telling me the anti-robot revolution hasn’t actually begun? Well, that’s disappointing. Thanks for taking the time to straighten me out.
Wait … That’s exactly what a ROBOT would say!
- Comment on A crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco 2 months ago:
I want as few cars as possible, mixed zoning, and walkable cities.I don’t believe in a technocentris utopia. I want more quality relationships, and technology in our lives to be more restrained. I am in no way an advocate for the status quo (which by all accounts is AI and robot cars). Robot cars are a step in the wrong direction.
- Comment on A crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco 2 months ago:
Not unless that human driver was blindly following their navigation app like a total idiot. A person would have said, “oh shit, I want to get out of here.”
Anyway, I believe under it all we’ve got a tension between generally two different worldviews: those who believe Star Trek is utopia, and those who would rather life was more Hobbittish.
Personally, The Shire sounds like a nice place to live. Can we choose that please? You can still have computers, let’s just chill on the whole racing to meet our cyberpunk future.
- Comment on Russia's Africa Corps marches in to replace Wagner group in the continent's coup belt 2 months ago:
Someone else has downvoted, but I’m going to at least ask: are you implying that the US military-industrial complex is somehow behind Russian involvement in Africa?
- Comment on A crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco 2 months ago:
The article states that there was no known motive, but it also states that automated cars in SF have been attacking people and emergency vehicles, in addition to blocking traffic for human drivers.
It’s pretty clear that this is the beginning of the anti-robot revolution.

Except all those apostrophes are like whole Latin phrases that the French just ate!

Actually, I blame the Franks.
- Comment on Mongolian. Like the barbecue. 2 months ago:
In Viking’s defense: of all the Romance languages French is the most like Latin being spoken and written by a drunk hick with no formal education.

Ooh … The Rude Dick! (That whole genus has the most hilarious names when translated. Dog Dick ranks up there too.)
- Comment on What are these plants called? 2 months ago:
I figured. With a shape like that they could only be Phalloides.

Works great for me and it’s fucking hilarious.
… any chance you know where I can find more footage of that hilarious puppet?

I asked my 8 year old what he thought of this recipe and he replied, “That’s disgusting and whoever invented it should be executed immediately.”

So who is she? Because she looks fun.
- Comment on Let's meet those headlines 4 months ago:
I would also like entomologists to pronounce the insect orders properly. That ‘p’? It belongs to the ‘-ter’. It’s ‘pter’, for wing. As in ‘coleo-ptera’, the ‘shield wing’, not ‘col-e-OP-tera’. Or ‘neuro-ptera’, the ‘lace-wing’, not ‘neur-OP-tera’.
We actually put the accent on a syllable THAT DOESN’T FUCKING EXIST in the Greek.
Fucking nonsense.

Is this not basic knowledge? This is up there with the warnings to not put plastic bags over your head.
Yes, my dude, marijuana makes you eat ALL the treats.

I think he’d be more likely to say, “See! This is why democracy is a shitty idea. Think about how stupid the average person is. Now think that half of them are stupider than that. And you want to let them vote?” ‘The Republic’, Plato

Hey, do you recall what it was that was causing it? I’m pretty sure there is a leak in the vac system somewhere because the engine not stopping coincides with the door locks not working.
Yeah, and I’m doing the same thing: popping the hood and hitting that ‘STOP’ switch to kill the fuel supply.
Mine was babied until I got it 6 years ago. I live in a place now that uses lots of road salt. I made a decision at one point: I can’t afford to baby it, so I’m going to drive it to death. I’m going to mourn when it dies. I wish they still make simple cars like that. Ironic it was such a luxury back in the day. Pretty sure I’ve got the original receipt and it was bought for $38 000 in '84.

Yup. That’s the drill. It’s so reliable it won’t stop without direct interference.

I have a '84 Mercedes 300D Turbodiesel. That thing will keep running after an EMP. It’ll even keep running when I take the key out (I got a vac system leak somewhere). I’m going to cry when that thing dies. It’s so not fussy either. Radiator instructions: “Try to use clean water.”
