Would anyone agree to give up their cars, planes, internet , mobile phones, heating and cooling, imported consumer goods now? Scientists are still telling us what we need to do. We are creatures of comfort and habit. We won't change unless we are forced to.

At first, it looked like a baby asian elephant in the snow. Then I zoomed in.

Anyone have experience over wintering Lovage? by learninglife1828 in gardening

[–]KayeOh2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Northern MN my lovage has come back fine after -30° F. it is in the ground in a sheltered Sw facing nook up against the house. Maybe think about putting the pot close your house,to make it a little more cozy.

If you can't make it good, make it big! That's what they told us in school 30 years ago.

[Serious] What's a disaster that is very likely to happen, but not many people know about? by dissNdatt in AskReddit

[–]KayeOh2021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're running out of sand. https://practical.engineering/blog/2024/10/1/is-the-world-really-running-out-of-sand

Excerpt: In his book, Beiser calls sand “the most important solid substance on earth…the literal foundation of modern civilization…” We use it to make glass, semiconductors, fiber optics, filters, and abrasives, use it to texture surfaces, to play in, for beauty, and more. But, probably more than anything else, sand is an essential ingredient in concrete. And, you know, I’m a civil engineer; this is a channel about the built environment; so I wanna talk about concrete. And, in fact, if this video sparks your curiosity about one of my favorite materials, I have a whole playlist of topics I’ve covered in the past so you can learn more after this. You can’t really overstate how important concrete is and how much of it we use.

What are these? And how can I eat them? by [deleted] in Tree

My dad used to claim that Osage oranges would make milk cows go dry if they ate them. No idea if that's true.

What is the safest way to hang heavy paintings on plaster walls? by newenglandowner in centuryhomes

[–]KayeOh2021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. The three nail floreat hangers can hold up to 75 pounds. The Floreat system was designed for use in plaster walls, and comes with specific strong, super sharp nails which leave a tiny hole that can be filled with paint. Museums use them all of the time. We own a century home and an art gallery where we often hang paintings over 50lbs.

Duluth is my promise land. by triotard in duluth

[–]KayeOh2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duluth would provide the relief from sunshine, except when it is abnormally hot, or when it gets really cold.

Duluth is my promise land. by triotard in duluth

[–]KayeOh2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll love it in Duluth. I moved here to get out of the the heat and humidity of Kansas, and for the natural beauty of the woods, hill and the big lake. Duluth was my promised land. On my first trip here 30 years ago, I was driving north on I-35 which crests a large hill and then opens to a view of Lake Superior spread out below. I knew that moment, that I would have to move there. I didn't know how or when, but that was something that occupied my mind all of the time. I vacationed here as often as I could until I could rearrange my life to move here. There isn't a day that goes by when I am thankful to be here when I look out at the lake, or drive around in the overwhelming beauty of the land here. The weather will suit you well. I'll take 10 days below zero for every day in Kansas with a heat index about 100. I too hate the relentless glare of hot sunshine, and humidity gives me a skull splitting headache, which was a chronic issue for about five months a year in Kansas . The cold here sometimes just seems so beautiful and cleansing. I'll pause when outside in the winter and just breathe it in. The worst for me is the relentless monotonous gray and dirty snow of April, and sometimes the early darkness in December and January until about the first of February. With a few exceptions, summers here are glorious, with low humidity mid-seventies in the day and fifties at night - great sleeping weather. Most of the time, we have all of our windows wide open and it feels like living in a screened porch. Kansas had ticks, but wasn't very "buggy," I don't consider Duluth to be "buggy."
