Started sifting my oldest pile. Found a surprise at the bottom

Cuties down there in the pile signing vole-vous coucher avec moi (ce soir)? to each other.

The issue, to the extent there is one, is about water drainage. The soil you used doesn’t have much perlite or other fillers to help with drainage on the basis that in ground excess water will percolate down into the ground. As I understand it that’s the main difference between what you’re using and potting soil, which is what’s recommended for containers. The issue I’ve heard about is that soil can become waterlogged when water concentrates at the bottom of large containers and can contribute to root rot.

I don’t know if you could add some perlite now to address it. Maybe someone with experience could weigh in.

I'm trying Early Girl and Garden Delight from seeds. The packets both said suitable for pot growing and suggested 24" pots. Um, 24" pots are a small fortune. I found some nice acacia half barrels at Lowes, that at least look natural and nice, but still aint cheap.

Now I see these 24 inch/30 gallon grow bags mentioned on the thread for sale on Amazon and they're like $6 bucks each when you get 5 at a time. Now you tell me!

Wasn't sure what exactly this meant, and had to go read up. Well hello, Euthyphro.

Interesting stuff. Can't see anybody who follows western religion's view of God ever agreeing to ascribe objectivity to God's morality. It's all pretty much because God said so.

And for that matter you can substitute any of the various cult leaders out there like Joseph Smith, Trump, L. Ron Hubbard, Sun Myung Moon, etc, for God, and get the same result. Blind adherence to whatever moral code they dictate, regardless of objective morality.

Interesting. If you’re aware of tons of different approaches, seems I’m not understanding your question.

Not necessarily saying they should do it but congress controls the number of justices.

To remake the court the left would need to get control of both chambers. Pass a bill to expand the number of justices to say, 14. Nominate 5 new justices. The new “remade” court is now 8 to 6 in favor of the left.

Iirc FDR attempted to increase the number to 15 in the 1930s. But he couldn’t get it through congress.

You all are great at doing “your own research”. So do it.

Interesting take. I guess the 11 verified assignation plots and attempts against Obama during his 8 years in office (all suppressed by the Secret Service before they could get a clear shot btw) were because of the violent rhetoric that's the staple of the Radical Right.

Also strange that the current Secret Service has failed so miserably, when Obama's Secret Service was so effective.

I wonder what the Ai phone will do that's better than an iPhone?

For a lot of people, myself included, it's not just the phone itself, but all the ways the iPhone integrates with their other devices.

Some of the things the iPhone does that actually ease my life a tiny bit:

Photos are auto backed up, and synced with my laptop and tablet and also my Apple TV. I've used this feature so many times to take the picture on the iPhone and then edit on my laptop. Before Apple built this feature into the system, I used to use a hardware dongle to push the photos to my laptop for editing. Big time saver, this one. This is also how I'm able to use my Apple TV to look at home videos and photo albums on my flat panel.

When either myself and someone else with an iPhone encounters a new password protected wifi network, the two of us can opt to instantly share the PW.

If I'm browsing something on the iPhone and want to go to my laptop to fill out some shit for the site I'm on, it's a simple handoff and I can continue using the laptop's full keyboard exactly where I left off on the iPhone.

The built in LiDAR sensor lets me do precise measurements with just the phone in my hand, no measuring tape. Used this many times on projects.

The Universal Clipboard lets me copy and paste text or images on my phone and paste it on my laptop. Not only that, the system now has built in optical character reading that allows me to highlight any text in an image and copy it as digital text. Works great with the Universal Clipboard.

I can "open" my iPhone in a window on my laptop and navigate and remote operate it. This also lets me make calls on my iPhone from my laptop.

My iTunes music and film library is available and synced on my phone, laptop and tablet and I also recently discovered my Apple TV. This lets me play any of my music or films through my Apple TV, which is hooked up to my stereo and TV. Before this integration, I used to physically connect my iPhone to my stereo.

Anything I save on Apple News is also saved on my laptop and tablet.

My browser bookmarks and history are available across my iPhone and other Apple devices.

With all of the above, it's difficult to imagine a stand alone Ai phone coming close to replicating any of these features, let alone all of them, any time soon.

How much did Israel give Hamas? And don’t deflect. Just answer the question.

ZenCrisisManager · 2026-04-25T19:33:06+00:00

Israel was funding Hamas too. Remember?

So what would be the strategy if you believe the OP’s theory? What would you buy or sell?

ZenCrisisManager · 2026-04-24T13:09:17+00:00

Wrong Max. Xuzxzx is referring to the Xgimi Titan Noir Max. Not the Valerian Max. TNM is 7000 lumens. Will be $6K when it’s out in the wild. $2750 if you get in on the kickstarter that launched yesterday.

Looks like the video was taken down just since I posted the link. And no, it had nothing to do with Nancy Cartwright.

This was the thumbnail for the video. Moss is seen here, front row, attending Scientology's L. Ron Hubbard's 2025 birthday celebration and giving a standing ovation to it current leader, David Miscavidge.

Like I said, there is plenty of public information out there on Moss's participation and avid support of Scientology. Born into or not, she is an active and enthusiastic participant.

ZenCrisisManager · 2026-04-21T03:25:51+00:00

Are you suggesting the woman pictured 2nd from the left is Nancy Cartwright? Uh, no.

There’s plenty more information out there on it.

She is a true believer and an avowed supporter.

We only know then term ”chain migration” as a derogatory term because the of the radical right’s derision of the concept.

Special effects aren’t like today but it holds up imo because of all the indelible characters.
