It’s what plants crave I guess.

I’d be worried about the now excess co2 levels disrupting the normal saturation levels in the groundwater.
Where’s Upton Sinclair when you need him?
The store by me has their own brand of pop-tart that’s got more icing and filling as well as being half the cost. They don’t have as many flavors, but they’re not shrinkflated to the point of being a sad cookie. Shout out to Meijer toaster pastries.
Hydro is kinda devastating to any environment it touches if the scale is large enough. I think that it’s usually pretty good on a micro scale that doesn’t have to throttle waterways and flood others.
From my understanding, it’s considered clean by comparison to fossil fuels in that it’s easier to contain the byproducts that nuclear produces since they are primarily solid and liquid waste compared to the additional gaseous waste that fossil fuels make. The problem is in the potency of the pollution, the length of time that it needs to be stored, and while I said that it was fairly easy to store, that doesn’t stop storage facilities from doing what the lowest bidder tends to do which is perform below the minimum expectation. The quantity of the waste is typically lower by tonnage compared to fossil fuels and a good chunk of nuclear waste is in the form of contaminated safety equipment that has reached the end of it’s expected life cycle.
Something has to go horribly wrong for dangerous nuclear contamination to happen, but that’s not to say that things can and have gone horribly wrong.
I would argue that in this metaphor it’s still more surgical than a bullet but I get what you mean.
If cancer does cancer stuff around my stomach, you shoot my stomach. It’s the only logical answer. /s
In no order:
No no, you misunderstand. The plants have so many tomatoes that the cages are bending. There are so many tomatoes.
I use resources on weather.gov for most of my personal forecasting. I know there are forecasts on there but I usually only need it for readings like pressure, humidity, and wind speed. Also I don’t own a Doppler radar which is a very useful tool for figuring cloud density and shape. I do want to get a lightning detector though. That sounds neat.
As for your beans, if you got some spare cans and like pickled things, assuming they are green beans you could pickle them and they’re pretty good. I like em that way at least.
Edit: I forgot to mention the accuracy of the forecasts. I have precipitation down pretty good. That’s just pressure, wind direction, and cloud cover/type of cloud. Temperature is effectively magic where I live so it’s hard to pin down. Still haven’t figured out that one yet.
| Weather watching - I’m by no means a meteorologist but I understand a bit of cause and effect for most weather patterns in and out of my area. I mainly use weather.gov for my informational resources and they also have guides on a lot of weather related stuff.
| Lockpicking - I started before lockpicking lawyer popped off but I deeply appreciate him for making fun videos about the subject and bringing it out of obscurity. He definitely is much better than my amateur self and makes it look easy in general. As for starting out, check your state and local laws because in some places possession of the tools is illegal if you don’t have the right licensing, in others intent is critical but possession is not. Don’t break into anything you don’t own is an obvious one. Finally you can get a set of hooks, rakes, and torque wrenches online for $15-30 (prices may vary) and key locks are pretty cheap.
Weather watching (not the extreme kind) - I basically note down the current weather and interpret my own forecast then later see if I’m right.
Lockpicking - it’s basically a tiny little puzzle and I can buy different solutions for a few bucks at any store.
Gardening - this is less obscure/quirky and more that I don’t want people to think that I’m bragging about how many tomatoes I have because I will in fact brag about how many tomatoes I have.
Hey, on the bright side, manpower is manpower.
