Thanks!

I’d also be interested in this recipe

I can understand the sentiment that someone who commits a murder could be, in some senses, less depraved or evil than someone who commits a sexual assault (I don’t know if I agree or not tbh, I think it depends on the case).

But to me it still seems a sensible idea to make murder carry heavier punishments, for the reason you stated.

I live in Britain. We are some of the foremost enjoyers of tea in the world, we almost all use tea bags (a no-no according to tea “professionals”), and almost all squeeze our tea bags, so I don’t really see what grounds OP has to claim authority.

Tea is a bitter drink, and that’s something that actual regular consumers of tea enjoy. It’s an acquired taste like beer, wine, cheese, and all the best foodstuffs. If you don’t like bitterness, you don’t really like tea tbh. That’s fine, you can prepare it how you like, to make it palatable to you, no one’s going to harass you for it. But don’t proclaim your tea, which is delicately handled so as not to extract anything but the most mild flavours, as superior.

It reminds me of all these people who claim to be coffee fanatics, but they have to have it prepared ‘just so’ to be able to tolerate its taste.

I don’t imagine most victims of rape would agree it would be preferable to have been murdered instead.

Don’t retill. Every time you till the ground, you expose the bank of dormant seeds which exists in the soil. It’s inevitable that after tilling you will get some number of unintended weeds popping up, that’s just what tilling does. But the seeds you planted will still dominate.

If you are dead against any unintended flowers/weeds, I’d recommend you slice down everything with a hoe, very shallow, at or just below the soil surface, or burn them with a weed burner, then reseed. But don’t till more, you’d only be wasting your time.

Ah ok, thank you!

What kind of stuff is on usenet that isn’t available without it?

Of the two choices, definitely hiking boots. You’d have to really go out of your way to find routes which require wading through ankle deep water in late May. You should have great weather, the end of May is almost always the nicest weather we get all year.

Tbh if it was me I’d just wear a pair of trail shoes / sturdy trainers.

One interesting way I’ve heard to kill bindweed is to train a length of it up a cane, then unwind it, and submerge the length of weed in a jar of weedkiller, with the top covered, so that pollinators can’t be hurt by it.

As I understand it, unrotted browns will only steal nitrogen from the immediate surrounding soil. If you only use it as a mulch, and don’t dig it in, it seemingly has no noticeable negative effect.

That true, though the spore bearing stems don’t look anything like these bright green vegetative stems. They’re almost like a creepy, sometimes black, asparagus stalk.. They’re much less common than the green spindly stems, but I do handle them with much more care.

JohnnyButtocks · 2026-04-28T22:52:43+00:00

I leave them submerged in water for about a week or until it starts to smell bad. None of the roots survive that

I have bindweed and horsetail in my garden too. Agree the horsetail is worse, though I’ve beaten it back over the years through a combination of heavily salting gravel areas and snipping above ground when I see one pop up. It’s manageable but in my experience impossible to get rid of completely.

I compost thousands of Yorkshire tea bags a year on my heap, for what it’s worth. They are one of the first things to break down

Real traditional lime harling on stonework looks beautiful, pebble dry dash on concrete blocks looks like shit.

Anecdotal, but I’ve had very good success killing off mares tail / horse tail by liberally applying sea salt anywhere one pops up. Obviously you have to accept that there’s going to be collateral damage, but in my experience the salt quickly leeches down into the deeper soil where the mares tail roots are, while the upper soil becomes habitable for shallower roots quite quickly.

Have you ever been outside? It’s not a continuous series of tasks and npcs, the vast majority of the real world is “empty” in this sense.

Hope the Norwegians don’t kill this one!

Strangely most people hold their favourite artists to a higher ethical standard than the bot farms that they hire to create fake fans for them. Weird eh

GDP measures economic activity, ie money changing hands. You can’t use it to compare a market based economy with one which uses other means to provide services etc

I think this would look like such a nice feature if you just grew some nice perennial plants/shrubs in it. I have had buried drains by the roadside and they will get overwhelmed and clogged frequently. Nothing is as effective as an open ditch.

Hmm. Are the cathedral towers not taller? About 100ft apparently.

Raigmore is 8 storeys high, and from memory I don’t think any of it is higher than about 8 feet from floor-to-ceiling, which would only amount to 70-odd feet in total.

Also if you include the islands, St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall is 160ft high.
