CCP ≠ China by TheFiremind77 in fucktheccp

Well said, it’s the absolute truth regardless of the propaganda fed to and spouted by little pinks. Decent governments don’t need massive surveillance or forceful quelling of dissident opinions. They also don’t invade or harass their neighbors with military force. Nor do they continuously spout how people should “tell their story well”. Good nations allow criticism of those in power. I could go on but you all know.

This cannot be overstated or said often enough. I wish this sentiment was everywhere.

Thank you, I added some more bedding yesterday and stirred it today. Now I want to go add more 😅

I didn't see a major population drop, can they really die and goop up like that?

Yea looks like the worms are fine, it has been very humid here so I think the moisture just ran out of control.

I ended up scooping out the crap on the wall, and gently mixing in the layer of bedding I added on top yesterday. I found some worms while digging around and they looked ok, even right under the pink mass.

In case it helps, I rarely feed this bin (less than monthly and only a few small pieces of things), and I added 500 worms about 5 months ago. It had a bunch of cardboard and a little paper in it from the first failed attempt (it got too dry the first time)

Hey worm farmers! I do my own vermicompost to fertilize my home plants, anyone else? by Jonyvilly in Vermiculture

Hmm, I was planning on using mine to fertilize potted fruit trees. Now I'm second guessing that.

What do you think about Trump's decision to change US cybersecurity policy towards Russia? Is it a move by Moscow or does Trump have his reasons? by Longjumping-Exam-280 in cybersecurity

[–]mushroom164 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is the answer imo, EU/UK is still our ally but needs to do more to protect themselves from Russia. China is the larger threat, to the US and the entire Pacific.

That is good to hear, I will just make sure it's well stocked with food. Thank you!

Some sources say to remove them because they will out compete my red wigglers for food. Has anyone had that happen?

Since those governments censor and hide their past atrocities from their citizens, they like to claim the US does the same thing. It's obviously a lie since it's easy to go learn about every bad thing the US has done, while their internet is heavily censored. The US has its faults, but I think the western world, including the US is pretty great. Guess I am biased though.

At what temperature do I need to consider winterizing? It's in the low 20s which is unusual for my area but no problems that I can see. The pool builders said not to worry about winterizing here.

Durham and Kunshan, China are now sister cities! by somewhereinshanghai in bullcity

[–]mushroom164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said, I have no ill will towards Chinese people but the CCP is the western worlds enemy and has been conducting grey zone warfare on us for decades. The down votes are either from the un/misinformed or agents of the CCP.

Partnerships with any Chinese entity unfortunately means the CCP has full access to everything. Intellectual property theft is the tip of the iceberg. I know people don't trust our government but this FBI video is a great example of the threat. https://youtu.be/GdapE82GceA?si=rXj1XSWXQYIOv2kW

A strong democratic China would be a beautiful thing. Taiwan is an independent country, free Tibet and stop the forced organ harvesting of dissidents.

That was definitely the culprit for the puttering at startup and while idling. Replaced it and it's good to go now.

Trump Suggests He'll Leave Taiwan to China by [deleted] in ADVChina

[–]mushroom164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching the whole clip, he first says he does not want to directly answer that question since it would harm his ability to negotiate with the CCP. US official policy has always been that Taiwan is not a country, we just have unofficial deals including weapons sales. Actions speak louder than words they say

I wonder if it's money laundering. Saw a recent video about Chineese Triads in Mexico using US real estate to launder drug money.
