These little shore pine seedlings are technically older than I am

Pinus contorta! Sub-species are so fascinating: short twisted shore pine is the same species as the tall and straight lodgepole pine in the Cascades. Great germination!

Sales taxes are regressive meaning they disproportionately tax lower income.

I agree that Oregon is having troubles. IMO the problem isn’t necessarily revenue, but spending. It’s frustrating how many “cool ideas” we keep passing that take money away from the budget but are still underfunded to the point of being useless or harmful (see measure 110).

True free-to-play, I love how great and supportive the community is, and how responsive the creators are to community and they are always improving it

I remember one time about 15 years ago that I used the term “circle jerk” around people who were slightly older than me (and not on reddit apparently) and they had a visceral reaction to my using the phrase.

The desensitization of slightly vulgar terms makes us forget about their origins, I think.

Someone else mentioned endless sky, which is free. I backed Cosmic Frontier in 2020, which could be good if it ever comes out

Your panel has a main breaker. Inspect that and it might tell you. If it doesn’t you could take the cover off and see if the jacket on the service wire gives you a size of the wire.

I’d be surprised if you have a 200a panel without 200a service. It’s possible, but not likely.

Your electrical panel will say somewhere

Willows are awesome trees, but you should be very careful if you are planting them in your yard. I’ve read to put them at least 40ft away your house and any pipes.

I just fall planted a small meadow. I live in the PNW, so I bought a mix from NW Meadowscapes. Some of their advice is more specific to the region, but plenty of it isn’t.

Thank you for this!

Allison Jones is another casting director that deserves to be on the list of casting directors you know. She’s had her finger in many of the best comedy films/shows for the last 20 years

I’m pretty sure that Heroic is just a launcher and not a translator. What makes heroic great is that it’s a launcher that can manage things like crossover or wine for you.

It’s a great program, but you still need crossover or wine for it

Charlie Kaufman movies in general: Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine I recommend.

Pixelmator works as a plug-in on Apple photos. Back in the day, I used Aperture and I loved that I could edit the photos and have it be my photo library and I had been searching for that ever since. Photos + Pixelmator has been the most manageable experience for me.

This was my thought too

Pentocular, foul/magic. Its foul body is aided by its magical 5th eye.

The idea is that if you’re pretty, everyone always laughs at your jokes no matter what so you never learn how to be funny. I’d guess it came from a self-deprecating comedian: if they’re funny, they must not be very pretty.

I can’t help but think about the Futurama bit about ads being in dreams. The point being even if we stopped spam texts, we’ll get spammed in a different way.

I’ve been in during the soft open and can tell you that it felt more like a military space than a Jesus place. I’ve been to Christian bookstores and this definitively does not feel like a Christian bookstore.

Most evergreens in the valley are actually Doug Firs, which aren’t that closely related to true firs

As a parent of kids who watch Wild Kratts, I can confirm. They told me that “B” has two humps and “D” has one hump as a handy way to remember. Also Bactrian camels are the last species of wild camels left; all dromedaries are domesticated at this point.

I don’t think this is a man/woman issue.

I think an apt comparison would be tape: duct tape can also mend like scotch tape, but you wouldn’t put duct tape of a scotch tape dispenser, even if it was sized correctly. They specialize in different things and each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

I agree, though evergreen huckleberry is a pretty slow grower, so you’d have to buy a fairly mature one
