It’s brigading to go on social media platforms and complain about the people you work with in order to exert outside pressure on them. You’re bypassing the formal processes of discussion and consensus-building and trying to leverage informal power you have. This tends to make people very angry and reluctant to work with you no matter what.
Linux is an open source project, not a democracy. If you want to contribute you have to follow their rules.
There is no spoon.
Yeah. The stereotype of the cokehead is the asshole trader who works at Goldman Sachs. Rookie numbers and all that…
Ahh yes. The good old “now caramelize the onions, about 5 mins.”
I’m not sure why it should be considered unfair for a player with a winning position to allow his opponent to escape with a draw by stalemate due to the winning player’s carelessness.
The position where you have a king, queen, and bishop versus a king is totally winning and all it takes is patience and careful moves to win. The only way the lone king is getting a stalemate is due to carelessness on the part of his opponent.
The legitimacy was described above. The game is designed so that you can’t stop focusing even when you’re in a winning position. Players over the centuries have admired cleverness in the face of overwhelming odds. That’s what it means to turn a losing position into a draw.
For real life war analogies, think of the king escaping through a secret tunnel while his castle is under siege and all his soldiers dying.
We have quite a bit of shade as well, though we do have one fairly decent spot of direct sun near the house. I also like to grow in containers on this gravel shoulder beside the driveway since our front yard gets more direct sun than the back.
If I get a nice big harvest of super hot peppers then I’m going to freeze some, pickle some, and dehydrate some. It’s pretty difficult to find uses for super hot fresh peppers unless you’re using them in a stir fry, Chinese style.
Yes! Go for it!
I actually love insanely hot peppers! I’m going to try growing some ghost peppers this year! But they won’t be the only type I’m growing, so I’ll have a backup plan!
Parsley sounds really nice actually. I remember opening up a package of dried parsley recently and the smell was incredible! I might even have some parsley seeds already in my collection (I bought a ton of seeds but got so overwhelmed I only grew a few types last year).
Last year I grew tomatoes and hot peppers as well as some herbs and a few sweet peas. The peas and tomatoes were truly incredible. The peppers were quite good but didn’t really eclipse store bought jalapeños in quantity or size (they were very small but tasty).
I’m still in the planning phases of my 2025 garden. I want to try growing some beans and squash as well as more varieties of tomatoes and peppers. I also want to grow a lot more of those peas because they were the best peas I’d ever tasted!
I have a couple of rosemary plants growing inside my grow tent right now. I may try growing some small lettuces in some of the many terra cotta pots I have. Also want to grow a lot more varieties of herbs (I have all the seeds).
I want to try growing some lettuce myself. But note that if everyone grew lettuce in their backyard it would not do anything to reduce winter demand for lettuce (which doesn’t keep all winter). The backyard lettuce revolution would destroy commercial lettuce producers in Canada who only grow outdoors in the summer, while leaving winter lettuce shortages intact.
I’ll look for Alberta lettuce in stores next time. I have literally never seen it. And I check the labels regularly to see where produce comes from.
If it helps, I’m in Ontario. So maybe Alberta lettuce isn’t shipped here.
Spanish citrus is fine but every orange I’ve ever bought from South Africa has been inedible. Dry, mealy, and bitter. Awful garbage that’s clearly been picked a month too early.
Sure and that’s great for packaged goods and more durable produce like peppers, potatoes, and gourds.
Fresh, delicate greens are the trickiest. They expire very quickly. But they also are very easy to damage while growing, harvesting, packaging, shipment to distribution, shipment to stores, unpacking, display, consumer-caused damage, and even transport home from the store.
I think to meet demand entirely domestically we’d probably have to grow 50-100 times as much lettuce in greenhouses as we’re doing right now.
Most produce waste is at the distribution and commercial level. Stores won’t buy ugly produce because consumers are picky about it.
Lettuce is a big problem though because it spoils really fast. It’s not like a green pepper that looks like an ugly goblin but is otherwise fresh and tasty. Bad lettuce is heavily wilted and covered in brown rust. Nobody will buy that, especially not at regular price, next to pristine lettuce.
20 million kg of lettuce. Is that per day? Canada has a population of 40 million. If that number is per year then it’s basically 500 grams per person per year. Most people who eat lettuce regularly eat more than that per week.
The question is: do we grow enough greenhouse lettuce in Canada to meet demand? That seems to be nowhere near the case, as all the stuff I see in stores in the winter is from the US.
Let’s say it was a 10000% tariff on US lettuce so that stores wouldn’t bother stocking it at all. What would the price of Canadian greenhouse lettuce be? $10? $20? $50?
Fruits and veg are the tough one. We don’t grow a whole lot of fresh green veggies in the winter. We don’t grow any citrus fruits whatsoever. We don’t grow berries in the winter.
Basically if you only eat local produce you’re going to be living entirely off preserves for half the year, the way my grandparents did a hundred years ago.
Unless of course you have a lot of space in your house to set up grow lights and grow your own greens indoors. I’m looking at that but it’s not easy to grow head lettuces like romaine that way.
She was miserable long before she found out about the cheating. If he was pulling late nights at the office instead of at his mistress’s apartment the outcome would’ve been the same.
Really, as much as it hurt her to discover the cheating, it woke her up and gave her the strength to change her life.
Have you watched the show Mad Men? The whole Betty Draper (January Jones) story arc shows how much that lifestyle falls apart in the long run.
What you described? Sounds like an amazing vacation for a week or two. But then as the months and years drag on, and your high-flying career spouse is never around, shit really starts to set in. That life is lonely AF!
Sure, it’s great to be with your children, take care of them, teach them and bond with them. But small children do not provide the social and mental outlet that an adult needs.
There’s a reason so many tradwives pull the ripcord after a few years. No one should ever feel like a prisoner in their own home.
More like a brothel for sex addicts.
