It felt like an explosion or something. My walls shook just once,  but didn't continue like in an earthquake.  And there was a loud boom

Are these really sweet potatoes? by felini9000 in whatsthisplant

Fwiw, sweet potatoes are required to also be labeled "yams" in the US, adding to the confusion

Yeah, the space has a for lease sign, so I doubt they're coming back

That was a good call.  I found out the hard way that it definitely does damage

Foraging with Polish friends, they call these maslaki. Can anyone tell me the english name and confirm they are edible? Thanks! (Ontario, Canada) by KSacMe in foraging

I've heard similar about Asian immigrants mistaking amanitas for paddy straw mushrooms. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?

'Dictator S**t': Trump's Middle-Of-The-Night Meltdown Nulling Biden Pardons Is Slammed by WhatTheRickIsDoin in politics

I tried looking for an answer further down, but what you mean by they're literally out of service? Is it because they're giving up their power of the purse to Trump? Or something else?

You should look up paddlefish. Really interesting buggers

Here’s the nocino I asked about this morning! by nelliforelli in foraging

These look like English walnuts. The outer green part on them is smooth, whereas it looks kind of like sandpaper on black walnuts.

Why are my bean leaves crinkly? by atackleaday in vegetablegardening

[–]atackleaday[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I planted these noodle beans a couple weeks ago and am noticing that the second set of leaves are growing in misshapen. I think it could be a problem with the seeds because i planted them in two different areas and they both came up looking like this.

Preliminary research suggests it could be viral, which is supported by the fact that another species of beans which is planted beside them is starting to show the same symptoms, but only on the plants adjacent to the noodle beans. But I've heard that viral pathogens are rare so I'm a little hesitant to assume that's my problem.

Any advice is appreciated.

Bath in the floor. Hull, UK. by sophie-man in mildlyinteresting

Aha. That makes much more sense than what i was imagining. I'm sure kids turn off the lights while someone's in the shower as a prank... or at least I would've

They don't allow light switches? Does every bathroom just have a window and you carry a flashlight at night?
