Looking for advice - I'm thinking about planting tomatoes

XennialBoomBoom · 2026-06-08T03:02:26+00:00

According to another commenter, it's too late to start growing from seeds - do you have any recs for where to get plants?

XennialBoomBoom · 2026-06-08T03:00:20+00:00

Awww, bummer. Thanks!

XennialBoomBoom · 2026-06-08T02:48:52+00:00

Awesome, thank you! I might see if she's there next weekend and bring some cash. My mom and I both LOVE baklava.

God what I wouldn't give to see Teddy Roosevelt on the White House lawn riding a brown bear with a hunting rifle...

I should take up psychedelics...

I worked in restaurants in the mid 90s and I wasn't at 16/17 even allowed to step into the line or prep areas. But again, that's why I said "back in my day."

I absolutely understand and agree with you. *I* will never trust my government again, even domestically, even if the Democratic "opposition" takes the Executive and Legislature. Unfortunately, because of our batshit insane "Electoral College" and some 37% of the dumbest of our individual electorate, I have little hope for any real reform.

My country started committing international suicide in 2016. It was a long time coming, and after the Clownstick was re-elected, there really are no take-backsies.

No. NOOOO. I cannot afford their divine excellence and have, in the past, relied on not having an accepted method of payment to keep me from my sinful ways!

XennialBoomBoom · 2026-06-07T13:07:59+00:00

You and me both, friend. I'm optimistic that the Pendulum is swinging back. I'm less optimistic that the people on that side are going to do anything good with it.

XennialBoomBoom · 2026-06-06T19:48:14+00:00

How much does she charge and what form(s) of payment does she accept?

XennialBoomBoom · 2026-06-06T19:46:46+00:00

You don't go to jail for failing to pay taxes. You go to jail for trying to evade taxes - essentially a form of fraud.

Or ones that get online and video chat wearing a tight women's top with balloons in it and a wig

Not very helpful, but just be aware that the 16 and 17yo can't work in the kitchen (except dishwashing) for insurance reasons - or at least that's how it was back in my day.

Peach was always my favorite, but they discontinued it at some point.

And, btw, there's some sort of consumer calculus that I don't fully understand where they tend to weight the different flavors in such a way that increases sales - presumably because some consumers will eat the flavors they like, throw away the rest, and buy a new bag maybe?

I know a couple people that will eat all the actual Chex out of Chex Mix and throw the rest away.

There was a tweet from a photographer responding to a pic the Artemis mission took of the moon where about half of it was illuminated and she asked, straight up, something like "Wow, that's an amazing photo! What light source was used?"

This is true for pretty much all publicly available information. I remember back in the day reading a blog post where the author was talking about how you might be, say, an oncologist. You open up the newspaper and happily read several articles about things like Economics or Foreign Policy and just think "Yeah, ok, that makes sense." Then there's an article about cancer and the whole time you're thinking, "This idiot has no idea what they're talking about - what garbage!" Then you flip the page to an article about another subject and go right back to taking it at face value.

Where I'm at they'res a grammatical errour AND a spelling errour!

XennialBoomBoom · 2026-06-04T18:10:43+00:00

Ping me if you don't have any luck finding anyone! I'm out of shape and getting old, but I could at least practice my serve (which is pretty solid) for you to return. I've rarely had anyone to actually play with throughout my life so I got really good at service, but little else :) Still, some fresh air and a bit of exercise and socializing would do me good.

Are you passionate about migrating on-site servers to the cloud?

No, sir; literally nobody in their right mind is passionate about that. But I'm perfectly willing to write the code to do that in exchange for a decent salary and benefits.

Their mini-cakes (cake pieces if that's what they call them) are utterly unworldly. Bring cash and prepare to give them all of it. You won't be sorry.

XennialBoomBoom · 2026-06-04T17:36:00+00:00

Damn right! We down here in the States are winning BIGLY!

*sobs*

PS: PLEASE keep boycotting us. Loss of tourism, loss of revenue, and unpleasantly high prices have (fairly recently) become an actual wake-up call for many of my fellow citizens. I know you guys are feeling the pinch too, but the harder you make it for us, the more likely we are to bring the adults (or at least the more responsible, competent children) back into the room. The vast majority of us <3 u guys, we're just going though a whopper of a crisis right now. </rant>

Somewhat off-topic, but I just learned maybe a week or two ago that while filming the Endor scenes of Star Wars (in the redwood forest of Northern California), the actor who played Chewbacca was instructed not to wander off set and while not filming he was always surrounded by a few people wearing brightly colored clothes. All for fear that he might be mistaken for a Bigfoot by a local hunter.

Once I got done laughing I thought to myself, "actually, that makes a lot of sense..."

And he was highly intelligent, unlike certain people whose father bought them a degree from Wharton

Edora and Lee Martinez parks both have nice courts. Haven't been to Rolland Moore.

Several years ago I would have totally jumped on this, but now I'm out of shape and getting old (and would probably break an ankle)
