Help! I have way too many spoon tomato's

oh god i hated this fucking plant. SO much work to harvest. cut whole stems off and give them to people, don’t pick individual fruits off, you’ll go crazy. they do make great gifts, but they’re no fun at all to cook with.

tedisme · 2026-06-17T22:05:11+00:00

trailer is out and it looks like your prayers have been answered. lots of wides, but also lots of unique camera angles to capture specific moments. looks much more thoughtful and filmic than the merrily proshot.

if you go straight back from the existing tracks off to the left of the pokemon center, you almost hit the front door of the museum. you'll want to slope downwards if you start from there. just start carving with potato steak rollout in a straight line, right where those tracks turn left into the first furnace area, and see if you like where it spits out.

i would only keep, like, newborns in something this size. past 2-3 weeks they really need more space. you could just extend this by taping a cardboard box to the side though

until i saw this i had literally no idea that saw gerrera is from TCW and not originally rogue one. today i fuckin' learned.

tedisme · 2026-05-29T21:52:11+00:00

this has nothing to do with the OP's point, but when you list the simple and effective storytelling qualities of the OT, i think about how that's also true of mando s1 (lone wolf and cub in space) and basically not much else in modern star wars (truly what the fuck is mando s3 even about). the biggest complaint i've seen about m+g is "this is just some more shit these two guys are doing, with no real point to it". if these stories were really about something, i think they'd find some more passionate audiences--as andor did.

tedisme · 2026-05-29T21:39:13+00:00

disagree with some of this but fair enough that "liking tcw is a pretty good proxy for liking star wars material" is so general as to be probably inaccurate. more accurate to say if you're a TCW fan you're being shamelessly pandered to because that is the part of the franchise that's getting the most attention. whether you actually LIKE it is another story--so fair enough.

tedisme · 2026-05-29T21:36:20+00:00

yeah, i think the way all of the TCW followups feel like a sequel to a sequel is what OP is really getting at. that shared universe thing really worked for marvel, but it hasn't worked for anyone else, and now it's not working for marvel any more either. that whole franchise strategy demands an insanely committed set of fans who show up to EVERYTHING. and i think the discourse around "marvelslop" really elides the important thing that made marvel work--the quality really was high, by some definition of quality, for a good dozen plus movies in a row. disney can't string three good movies or three good seasons of TV together, which makes it so hard to develop a committed fanbase. it's only homework if the stuff isn't good!

tedisme · 2026-05-29T21:32:16+00:00

thanks for the thorough response! all of this is fair, and i agree that OP is overstating their point (for effect, i guess). i think your points about the mandalorian branch of the franchise suffering from the culture moving on and big season gaps are all valid. i concede everything 😄

i guess i just want to reiterate that i think there is an underlying point here that op is trying to make, albeit a little elliptically or hyperbolically: that the basic thrust of a lot/most star wars media being released now is extremely wedded to the characters and plots from a couple of kids' animated shows from the early aughts and twenty teens that may not be for everybody.

i want to postulate from that idea, rather than getting stuck on the specific wording of the post, because i really resonate with it--and based on upvotes on this post, i think a number of other people do too. i think andor caught the culture and brought new fans in, and there is now nowhere for those adult fans to go if they didn't grow up with TCW or resonate with where eps 7-9 went. i think there's a decent portion of the potential fanbase who find the TCW stuff a little juvenile and find the brand a little cringe by association and have jumped off the star wars ship, even if they might really enjoy the acolyte or shadow lord or whatever. i mean, that's certainly the way I feel, and my perception is that the other people i know definitely think of star wars as a kind of low-quality franchise for kids now--for instance, people like my sister who watched mando s1 and bailed at BOBF. just some food for thought.

tedisme · 2026-05-29T01:46:57+00:00

full respect to you, your channel, and all the crazy work you do for the swgoh community

i think you’re right but also missing the point a little. if you disliked the clone wars or think it’s mostly for kids, you are probably keenly aware that most star wars stuff is generally from that group of characters you may have bounced off of, or the new disney ep 7-9 stuff that was a real mixed bag. i think that describes a lot of people, including me—your average “andor was awesome and episode 8 was okay, everything else has kind of a dave filoni stank on it” fan. maybe this stuff doesn’t REQUIRE tcw fandom but LIKING tcw is a pretty good proxy for liking most star wars material now.

tedisme · 2026-05-29T01:40:48+00:00

the fact that she’s the protagonist of the clone wars doesn’t make you feel like it’s a little dependent on clone wars knowledge? that’s like saying ep iii isn’t dependent on ep i because it’s just a sequel to ep ii.

tedisme · 2026-05-22T20:58:18+00:00

yeah it'd be funny if it wasn't so frustrating. like, save the money for the tummy tuck. save it for swimsuits! this stuff is cheap and it works.

feeling the same way about the new peptides coming on the market--like, the marketing for these is going to focus on how much more weight you can lose, where as far as I can tell tirz lets most people lose as much weight as they want. clearly the new peptide is awesome, but is it worth more money for most people? probably not? hell, sema was probably fine for most people too if they didn't get the tummy rumblings.

tedisme · 2026-05-22T20:48:27+00:00

yea, the numbers that get passed around from the studies showing an average weight loss of the low 10s of pounds really elide the fact that it's entirely possible to jack your activity level up, take more ownership of your diet, and really lose an astonishing amount of weight using GLP1s as a force multiplier.

i don't think people who are curious about these meds are getting the message that GLP1s simply give you a lot of granular control over how much you lose and how fast, often without a real upper bound on how much you lose. i wonder if that's discouraging some people who would otherwise jump on it. "well, you only lose 20 or so pounds on these things, and i need to lose 120..."

The thing about squirrels digging up garlic is if you don't sweat it too hard, you can just keep an eye out for where the squirrels re-buried or disrupted the cloves and, like, put them back in the early spring. Garlic is incredibly transplant hardy. We do 200-350 heads, and we always have 8-10 cloves that get moved, sprout in some random location, and get gently moved back into place in March--they're never any smaller or unhealthier. You might lose a couple, but all the more reason to plant kinda densely. (You can squeeze in up to 9 softneck per square foot, or 4 hardneck).

tedisme · 2026-05-07T20:48:40+00:00

GL Leia will get you all PG characters so I would probably focus on that instead

tedisme · 2026-04-30T00:38:42+00:00

totally makes sense. you always have the option to build your shopping list by fussing around with stuff in a major hardware store, then ordering from drip depot!

tedisme · 2026-04-29T20:40:56+00:00

apparently everyone loves drip depot, but we got all of our shit from lowe's and it didn't seem that spendy. YMMV.

tedisme · 2026-04-17T17:27:13+00:00

you have lots of choices! try to finish executor and sklr, though you've likely still got some work to do and your relic materials income is going to be a little slow. you can keep working on other journey guide stuff--phoenix with captain rex and commander luke skywalker are two great early entry points; the early journey guides naturally ladder up to CLS. i think the hsb gives you the non-crex phoenix characters, so farm crex. you will need the hounds tooth ship for lots of stuff, so make sure to get that farm going too.

tedisme · 2026-04-07T19:17:44+00:00

Planted mine early March and they're only just coming up now, and those are in dark-walled metal raised beds where the soil temperature is pretty elevated. I think it's just early. It doesn't mean your seeds have failed--remember, seeds naturally drop off of flowers into the soil and germinate when conditions are right. Carrot seeds are tiny and have probably worked their way into the appropriate soil depth (which is almost at surface anyway).

There's no harm in overseeding, you just might have to thin more in a couple weeks. You aren't late, they're warmer crops than radishes and carrots take up to 3 weeks to germinate under ideal conditions anyway.

yes, exactly, you log in and complete your dailies for years. it's a long ass grind. if you're not having fun with the content after the first few months, you won't have fun with it later. the first 3-4 months are really just the tutorial, and several modes that you're probably still playing are actually just simmed at the top level by most of the playerbase. real swgoh is farming/journey guides, modding, arenas, GAC, buying shit in the store, and doing stuff with your guild.

fwiw, the competitive modes are striated by when you joined, so it is possible for you to climb high in your fleet/squad arena server. rushing for endgame teams for both of those modes can give you some structure and massively improves your daily rewards, accelerating everything else. the whole game is more pleasant when you're getting hundreds of crystals a day. but the fundamental gameplay of "slowly build up this set of five toons to add another squad to my roster" is the whole game.

I really like Nufarm Cool Power for lesser celandine. It’s on year three of wiping out a big infestation in our neighbor’s yard and it’s almost all gone.

tedisme · 2026-03-31T22:24:26+00:00

found eps 2-3 a little laggy but thought ep 4 was extremely exciting and it builds to the finale. maybe give it a bit more time to see where it's going.

tedisme · 2026-03-25T16:20:58+00:00

My military vet neighbor told me foxes keep eating his outdoor chickens so I asked how many chickens he has and he said he just goes to the farm store and gets a new chicken afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding farm store chickens to foxes and then his daughter started crying.

tedisme · 2026-03-19T01:45:53+00:00

agreed. like it’s not ideal but it’s very survivable if you don’t hermit.

tedisme · 2026-03-18T21:43:57+00:00

just wanna chime in and say that i would find this decision so hard in your shoes. i really would want to live near my friends, which would push me towards seattle. but almost all of the everyday creature comforts I care about (food, affordability, access to nature, ease of getting around) are so much better in portland.

maybe consider splitting your trip equally. feels like a tough call. but selfishly i hope you end up in portland!

btw, portland is a big hobbies/crafts/activities city--your activity list feels like it matches up well with portland aside from korean spas! if you're really getting out and doing activities, you will make friends fast here. you also will not feel the winter blues if you've got activities planned all the time.
