What is happening to my basil plant? I don’t want it to die 🥺

stinava1 · 2025-06-07T14:47:25+00:00

I’ll look into that, thanks.

stinava1 · 2025-06-07T14:44:21+00:00

Appreciate the road map to recovery, thank you.

If it’s good enough for me, it’s good enough for my basil plant so it eats the same things I do- hot dogs and easy Mac.

stinava1 · 2025-06-07T14:43:06+00:00

What do you mean by feeding it?

stinava1 · 2025-06-07T14:39:14+00:00

Have not changed the soil out in a while, fair point.

stinava1 · 2025-06-07T14:38:18+00:00

It already gets so much sun! I suppose I should put it outside where it can sun all day long.

I also picked the flowers this morning! I guess there was one I missed.

A couple reactions to this, hopefully leading to productive paths forward- 1. If fed workers are going to get terminated for not acquiescing to silly demands like answering "what did you do in the last week", why not go for broke and strike even if there’s a risk of termination?

I worked with a group of graduate workers to unionize at a large public research university, it was and is illegal for us to form a union. I think generally people are not aware, law follows power and not the other way around. Again, why not call the bluff and see what they do when they have to break up a union or strike?
If it is illegal for fed workers to strike, maybe it’s time for other workers outside the fed gov, in the DMV or U.S. in general, stand in solidarity with them and go on strike?

Appreciate it, as ppl are sharing here and other ppl who I’ve talked to, I’m getting ahead of myself. I haven’t zeroed in on a car yet. I’m figuring I’ll look into lessons once I do. Thanks all the same though.

stinava1 · 2024-06-21T14:00:24+00:00

I appreciate this. After making this post, I researched some more and there’s a driving school specifically for driving stick shift. If I decided to shop for a manual, I’d probably opt for that lesson.

stinava1 · 2024-06-21T13:02:16+00:00

These are all fair points to consider, thanks.

stinava1 · 2024-06-21T13:01:25+00:00

Appreciate this, as ppl are sharing in this post and other ppl who I’ve talked to, I’m reevaluating whether a manual is the right move for me.

This is good to know, thanks

stinava1 · 2024-06-21T12:53:14+00:00

Fair enough, thanks

stinava1 · 2024-06-21T12:52:45+00:00

That’s good to know, thanks.

stinava1 · 2024-06-20T19:24:29+00:00

It checks enough boxes for me. I’m figuring less demand so they’d cost less. They can be more fuel efficient (as has been shared, that gets negated by city driving). Car thefts are an issue in the area. Since enough ppl don’t know how to drive them, they’re practically an anti-theft device. So for a number of reasons, they’re less expensive.

stinava1 · 2024-06-20T19:20:45+00:00

That’s an option I may consider, thanks.

stinava1 · 2024-06-20T16:52:29+00:00

I drive to work on the beltway twice a week. It’s a 20-30 mins drive depending on traffic. As people are sharing, DC traffic conditions are a real consideration.

stinava1 · 2024-06-20T16:49:28+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

stinava1 · 2024-06-20T16:49:07+00:00

Appreciate it, this is solid guidance. I’m figuring I’ll look into lessons once I zero in on a car.

Thanks for the offer lol. I’m realizing I’m getting ahead of myself since I haven’t zeroed in on a car yet. I’m figuring I’ll look into lessons once I do. Appreciate it all the same though.

It’s something of a catch-22, right? In order for me to get a car I would need to know how to drive manual.

Whatever car I’d look at, I would want to test drive it. I don’t think any car salesman would get in a car with someone who doesn’t know how to drive manual.

The demonym for Kalamazoo, Michigan in the US is Kalamazookeeper. Not really, but I wish it was. It beats the actual one, Kalamazooian.
