I saw one of those around 2000 lb pumpkins. They are a beautiful sight. I want to grow one but I know I don’t have the space

How is the Minimal phone for using apps? Sometimes I feel like want a phone that does less and I like the price point. Just want to make sure I can keep using my phone plan and the few apps that I need. It says its fully andriod compatible so I assume they can run them but are they still usable
- Comment on How do people get rid of or sell stolen jewelry? I ask cause the news says the the Louve thieves can never sell it because it so known? 5 days ago:
I don’t know if this is 100% true or not, but I in The Goldfinch stolen art is used as collateral for criminals. The items are known to be worth money and can be used as collateral for various criminal activies. So it can be passed around. Not sure how true that plot point is.

I love the university of Minnesota Bee Lawn page about some ideas. You can also buy pure flower seeds at Flawn
The spreading nature of clover is not overwhelming. I have it everywhere and doesn’t pass even the smallest barrier to my more traditional gardens. It weedy status is more marketing than factual

Just talking about how marshmallows were orginally flavored with Marsh Mallow. Marshmallows are marshmallow flavored.
- Comment on What flavor are marshmallows? 2 weeks ago:
Marshmallows are flavored by the marshmallow plant. Its root has a sweet taste and gooy texture. Pretty much all marshmallows now don’t contain marshmallow root anymore.

Real baller move. Time to get some sheep so I can make my own wool hats I guess. The gourd hat is more decorative than functional in the winter
- Comment on i just think they're neat 2 months ago:
At the art fair by my house is a lady who makes gourd earrings, birdhouses and instruments. She even wears a gourd hat. She grows them all herself. I tried to grow a luffa this year inspired by her. It failed because they are hard to germinate. Next year I’m doing a bottle gourd

Any processing removed the stinging. They are a real super super food high in pretty much every vitamin and mineral. I drink nettle tea often in the winter

Lemmy is great since all the NSFW is in 1 instance. Easy to manage
- Comment on xkcd #3128: Thread Meeting 2 months ago:
That’s why I love forum like Lemmy. You can get really deep on single topics that interest you. It’s funny to click on a person though because you can see their odd interests. The best is when someone has porn and normal comments on one account. Really full transparency

Don’t even need to compare. Just putting something like zip-9 / location into a machine learning model and it will do it for you. Just using advanced models to reinforce redlining
- Comment on There's nothing like cooking for 2+ hours just to eat in 10 minutes 2 months ago:
There is nothing worse than making a long meal but getting the timing off. Especially since the longer it takes to make the longer any fixes can take. Yesterday I had something at 7 pm and finished cooking at 6:40. So I had to speed run my dinner that took a hour to make. It was a hour or simmering so nothing that difficult but still

The national guard here is looking around for men in black masks in front of computers throughout the city. Its crazy

Why does your ice taste so odd?

First off, thank you for ejaculating responsibility. If more men ejaculated as responsibly as you the world would be a better place. You might be on the young side but vasectomies’ are now reversible with a 90%+ rate. So freeze some sperm for a decade or so if you are really worried about it. So you have some options if you want kids in the future.
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 2 months ago:
I think its less about people living in the city and more general light pollution. Light pollution spreads a lot further than you think even for places you think are a full starry night sky. I know in my own life, the difference from my urban house, to a more rural cabin is huge, but the jump from that rural cabin to the middle of Boundary Waters Canoe Area is also huge. I assume if I ever get a chance to go to an International Dark Sky PLace there will be another large jump.

Agreed. I want to be to join them together. The only real difficulty will be for comments. How do they get federated between different instances

That is correct. I think he typically releases the 3-D models after a few months. I know he has other 3-D Models on his website. This one I think will be later

- Comment on Growth narratives on the new social networks 3 months ago:
I think with that is an unexpected inflection point that looks inevitable in hindsight where one network dies and another thrives. It happened with Digg and Myspace. You if you focus on long term organic growth it can happen but unknown when
- Comment on How can I start getting familiar with the plants, trees and animals around where I live? 3 months ago:
Once I purchased a house I had the same goal starting with my neighborhood. I started with the Seek app which allows you to take a picture of a plant and it will identify. I used it whenever I walk around my block and my house. Start with the ones you see the most. Start with plants since they are static and most common. Start with flowers since those are the most distinctive and easiest to identify via the app.
If you are really interested there are a few books that I found very interesting. First would be a foraging / herbalism book for your region. I can’t recommend what that is since I only know for the Upper Midwest in the USA. I found I could remember a plant best if I knew what it was for and could interact with it. (I.e. use it or eat it)
The second is Weeds: in defence of Nature’s Most Unloved Plants. If you live anywhere where other people live you will mostly see “weeds” the most human plant. The author is from England so it might not be about all your weeds but they are global travelers so you will see lots of overlap. It’s a fun long term project. Good luck

That would be fun. Every game would just be a series of different fetch quests with a rotated list of the same enemies. Like a MMRPG but worse and more expensive

ChatGPT give some pretty generic DnD advice. I can’t wait until they make a terrible automated DM. I can’t wait to play the most generic DnD of all time.
