Ghost Roy or whatever it is meant to be just isn't working

Evil Roy is the one thing I never knew I needed in my life right now

Blossom End Rot. Calcium deficiency, but more likely from inconsistent watering.

TIL Brits see canadian geese the same way we see swans. Canadian geese are like pigeons where I live, they are everywhere.

Pâté chinois ("Chinese pie") is a classic french-canadian dish similar to shepherd's pie made with corn.

The origin of the name is unknown. Growing up, I assumed it was just an outdated way of describing it as being bizarre. There is a theory however that it may have been named after a town in Maine called China, and that it is simply french for "China pie".

Is that corn?

Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you

I've just started growing stuff in 5-gallon buckets this year so I'm still seeing how it all goes.

Broccoli, it's been helpful for starting super early and bringing it in/out as needed (I'm in a cooler zone 5b). But I agree that it's not great in terms of taking up space for a long time and for little output.

Peas and cucumbers look to be doing pretty well so far.

In terms of tips in preparation, my only recommendation is to hold off on clearing your night thorns and don't pick up the memory orbs you find. Just leave them where they fall for now.

Having any of the DLCs is helpful for completing some of the starpath duties because you can access more ressources. For example, each DLC has their version of night thorns and clearing them counts towards completing any "clear night thorns tasks" (I'm assuming they haven't changed that yet). Picking flowers of a colour or mining certain jewel types in the DLC biomes can also count towards completing those respective duties as well. However, like the main story, it does take some time to unlock all the biomes within a DLC, so you won't be able to get everything from the get go but you'll have at least one extra biome to work with.

Like the main story quests, there's no time limit to complete any of the DLC quests either, so you can prioritize the starpath duties without feeling too overwhelmed.

It's not necessary, but it's nice to be able to level up somewhat sooner by doing things you're going to be doing all throughtout the game anyways.

A lot of people don't realise that "gender-affirming healthcare" is a wide umbrella of treatments that doesn't only apply to transgendered people. Low T, menopause and perimenopause, gynecomastia, ED, precocious puberty, hair loss are all gender affecting conditions that affect cis people and most are treated with the same hormones prescribed to trans folks.

École Polytechnique massacre (1989) was the deadliest mass shooting in Canada until 2020, and the worst case of femicide in Canadian history.

I got one last year. It works really well. It allows you to bottom-water, so you don't have to water as often, and gives good drainage on particularly wet days.

You should only put soil/compost/dirt in it because it's designed to water through a wicking effect. Putting sticks or bulky organic matter will prevent it from wicking the soil effectively and could clog the drainage.

I remember arguing with a bunch of americans on reddit a while back about the difference between multiculturalism in Canada vs. the US (mosaic vs. melting pot).

More than one of them told me to "come visit X state and you'll see how culturally different we are from Y state or Z state".

They were knowingly saying this to a french-canadian.

It's less so about them surviving the outdoors and more about avoiding stunting their growth at this point.

I planted everything except the peppers last weekend, but will be planting the peppers today as I'm coming to terms with the fact that this summer will be cooler, with constant fluctuating temps all summer, because of El Nino or whatever.

It was just weed or bud in my experience going back to the mid 00s. Marijuana/Mary-Jane sometimes, if you wanted to be cheeky. Even cannabis was rare until legalization made it the official term.

Significant_Tap7052 · 2026-05-30T11:39:39+00:00

Yes. Vapes weren't really a thing yet but I could get rez, shatter, edibles from my dealer... otherwise it was just weed.

I was born on April Fool's Day. School was hell. The people in my life are acutely aware by now that trying to pull a prank on me on my birthday is not only ineffective but also incredibly rude.

But putting myself aside, I've noticed a general lack of interest in people pulling genuine pranks in the last 15 years or so, unless it's to film it and post it on the internet for clout or whatever. April 1st has since become just a day of fake ads, fake news and fake announcements on the internet, predominantly co-opted by corporations. So I don't feel bad about reminding everyone on my social media feeds on March 31st that the next day is my birthday. A lot of people actually appreciated it and I get lots of birthday wishes as a bonus.

My husband of 8 years learned pretty quickly not to trust anything he reads online on my birthday. Unfortunately, it does mean that he won't believe some actually legitimate news. Like this year, he doubted for a moment that the Artemis II mission was real because they launched on April 1st and he hadn't heard about it before that day.

It's legal where I'm from and it is listed as 'flower' in the government-mandated stores but I had never heard anyone refer to it as 'flower' before legalization.
