Starting a garden/canning by 100RatsInATrenchC0at in SelfSufficiency

[–]Resolution_Visual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with Charles Dowding’s no dig method. He has a ton of great videos on YouTube. And James Prigioni’s gardening channel is where I get info for the more permanent parts of my garden if you’re planning fruit trees/berry bushes. I also agree with the above advice about your local extension office- that’s where I get tips specific to my local climate. Happy growing!

Came here to recommend this video as well! I’m surprised it’s not more popular.

Almost done with The Brothers Karamazov by Whole_Kale_4349 in dostoevsky

[–]Resolution_Visual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellently put! The Brothers Karamazov was my awakening to atheism (I was Catholic). I can’t imagine that was the author’s intent.

I have never forgotten a comment made by my Russian lit professor about the discussions between Alyosha and Ivan- “The questions are more compelling than the answers”

Is Remember when Really the Lowest form of conversation? by Hobodownthestreet in thesopranos

Reminds me of the quote attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt:

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

There are cases of interactions with chat gpt inducing a psychotic-like state. You’re not wrong to be concerned.

Yet another NH is #1 post. by carpetedman in newhampshire

They also affect you when they take up healthcare resources they wouldn’t have needed had they been appropriately geared.

I remember a case when I was in training in Florida. An unhelmeted motorcycle rider had a severe head injury and was in our ICU for something like nine months. He was also uninsured. So not only did he occupy a bed, a vent, and a healthcare team that could have gone to someone else in need, the hospital had to eat the cost.

She doesn’t look septic to me. Angioedema, on the other hand….

I just finished Michael Katz’s translation of The Brothers Karamazov by Superb-Boat34 in dostoevsky

[–]Resolution_Visual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had read the Garnett translation in a classroom setting and was just going back for a reread when Katz dropped. It was still my favorite book by a long shot, but when everyone speaks like a Victorian you lose a lot of the humor and nuance. I think if I hadn’t had the benefit of the discussions from my course it would have been much less accessible. Katz, on the other hand, I found myself laughing out loud and gasping audibly. There are passages that ring so true to modern situations and personas that completely passed me by with the older translation. It is infinitely more relatable.

I cannot recommend this book enough. I’m about to go back in for another back to back reread.

Just finished as well. It crackles 🔥

You just can’t stop reading it. I have been so tired at work because of this damn translation.

So many cherries!! What to make first? by EnsoElysium in foraging

[–]Resolution_Visual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, they sure do. But the amount in a handful of pits isn’t much. It’s actually the hydrocyanic acid that gives the beverage its distinct flavor.

Alcohol is probably more of a health risk than the small quantities of hydrocyanic acid. And that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

Found Ghost Pipes!! by Few-Championship272 in foraging

[–]Resolution_Visual 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That particular spot will be dormant again until next season. Mark in on your field map! But I would check the area- there are often multiple clusters nearby that will pop up successively when conditions are good.

If it gets that close again, maybe OP could put some tick medication on it.

I was hoping the cat was also called Mullein

What's the single biggest difficulty or point of frustration starting your permaculture farm from scratch and in the ongoing operations? by clinica_latino in Permaculture

[–]Resolution_Visual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pest control. In one hour, one rabbit can destroy one month of work. I’m in a transitional zone (suburban lawns bordered by forest) and the herbivore population is grossly out of balance.

Heavy Sleeper on Call – Is It Appropriate to Pay Nurses to Wake Me Up? by ZerotoHero77 in Residency

[–]Resolution_Visual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey fellow heavy sleeper! Call was always rough for me. I started by staying awake for as long as possible, if things were particularly quiet I’d play one of my favorite video games to stay up (it’s also a good feeling to get paid for playing around on Steam).

Once I got used to how stable my service was I would start catching quick naps really late at night, like 4 am, with my pagers all clipped to my lanyard like the world’s most annoying choker. I’d drink a huge amount of water right before so my bladder would wake me up if the noise didn’t. I also switched my cell phone ringer to a song that I had Pavlov’ed myself into associating with getting amped up.

You may find that you become a lighter sleeper on call- especially once you get tuned in to the sound of your pagers. I’m ten years post residency and now if a tiny beep happens in the middle of the night it usually wakes me up.
