I agree that separating people who do not abide by the contract of society is necessary, but I think we (America) are wrong to make it a punitive experience. Separate them and let them live their lives as comfortably as they can. Causing additional suffering does not seem to be necessary.

It is the weird backlighting from the Christmas lights. I took a selfie of my wife and I in front of a Christmas tree in a park one time and it looks like the most hilariously badly photoshopped image imaginable.

The answer is “no”, in multiple ways in this case. Is this an exercise drug? No. This is a drug meant to stimulate the effects of exercise for people with Alzheimer’s. Does it clearly work for that purpose? No.

You can pretty much just not open articles with headlines in this format. If there was exciting news to report, the headline would say that instead.

Looks amazing! I recommend getting yourself a sprouting kit (or making one. They are easy) and then you can have the freshest bean sprouts all the time!

Internal Family Systems therapy and meditation.

Typically wildflowers in an area are synonymous with weeds. They shouldn’t have any trouble growing if you break the current grass monopoly even a little. Most people have a hard time getting them to NOT grow in their yard. I had good luck including Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes) in my yard. They are HUGE when fully grown and you will basically need a flame thrower to get rid of them but the birds and bees love them. They also spread risomatically by sending out root runners, so they break up compacted soil. A combination of those and sunflowers would basically be a 2 meter tall flower bed. I don’t think you would even need the cardboard.

I’m going to recommend, in addition to meditation, that you look into IFS Therapy. You can see an actual therapist about it, but you can also just read a book on the subject and do it yourself unless you have really deep trauma or addictions to deal with. The guy who invented it has several books, but I recommend Self Therapy by Jay Earley as it is based around working on your own and is basically like meditation with the purpose of resolving your inner issues. My ADHD brain has improved a ton since I started doing it. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. This is my current Hyperfocus, so I’m already way down the rabbit hole on research. 😁

I had to look up what this was (I’m from the Midwest). It sounds incredible and I felt my arteries hardening up just looking at the picture! I can’t wait to try it!

This is not a general answer to your question, but many times if I go to the original manufacturers website they will tell me where I can find their products locally. Failing that you could bite the bullet and call the manufacturer. They should have a distribution database that can answer your question. I’m going to watch this thread to see if someone has a real answer eventually.

Is it federated and open source? If not, I’ll pass.

I bought a 2 year old, 2017 BMW i3 and have had basically no range reduction. I primarily charge at home on a level 2 charger. The i3 didn’t have a ton of range to begin with, so if you live in a colder climate, make sure you account for losing some of the stated range during colder months.

I’m pretty sure preserves have actual chunks of fruit and jam is made from puree. Jelly is just made from fruit juice.

I haven’t started to DIY yet, but after reading Becky Chambers’ book, A Psalm for the Wild Built, I started researching mycelium building construction materials and am now several days down a rabbit hole of learning the pros and cons of various mushroom and substrate types. Will I do anything with it? No idea, but it is cool and provides buildings that will last if the natural, casein waterproofing is maintained, but will decompose quickly once abandoned or demolished and actually feed the ecosystem.
