I wouldn’t plant from a seed, especially a tree or shrub.

That sums it up well.

I’m all for research, it’s good to have proven methods to say “hey, this is not healthy”. But this is a no brainer. I always assume that even a healthy option at a restaurant is worse (high fat, high salt, high added sugars) than anything I’d make myself.

Nobody is kidding themselves into thinking any of these places are healthy.

WSJ archive worked for me. But having multiple options is always nice!

Looks like there’s a metasploit available. You can use that on your router to see if it’s susceptible. A quick google search indicates that this is only successful on older routers without input validation.

In general, follow good cyber security hygiene, and update the firmware on your router. If your router no longer is supported by the vendor (no more firmware updates for vulnerabilities found), then it’s old and you should upgrade.

I cannot wait for the day we unite and eat the rich!

It’s clever enough to show success in many countries and latch on to MAGA. They’ll use those countries as the experiment and use the successful methods in the countries they oppose.

I found it interesting that these programs are trying to unite the extreme right and extreme left together.

Being on the defense of these ever changing methods will exhaust us, and they will be successful if they keep at it long enough.

And most news papers were acquired by the same handful of media companies. In turn these companies ravaged local markets and there’s just no coverage of the actual truth, even on local happenings.

There’s an article about my hometown covered by NY times or something (I forget, it’s been a few years). We had a flourishing newspaper that employed a decent amount of the community, when that article came out (2010ish) the same company had 3 reporters and 5 staff. The newspaper would cover legitimate issues locally and nationally. They had amazing journalists that promoted great things happening too (local studies, non profits doing the hard work to benefit the community, etc). Basically, the boring stuff that isn’t flashy enough for social media. And now it’s all gone.

I legitimately have a difficult time finding news stories on any platform that I can trust.

Edit: I just read this, different angle to the same problem https://web.archive.org/web/20240512160438mp_/https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/06/china-russia-republican-party-relations/678271/

This needs to be propagated. Grass can be fairly low maintenance compared to other gardening, but nobody should complain about alternatives. I enjoy some clover coverage.

Many many years ago I saw a home in NJ that was all sand with some rock formations. I always wondered how the maintenance was for that. I’d personally never do that, but thought it was interesting.

I’ll third this. I get this message on just about every website.

I was going to try to explain it, but realized I’m not very good at calling menus and such their proper names. So whatever I tell you wouldn’t be very helpful.

Apple also has a YouTube video that’s about 5 minutes long. The article is probably faster.

I’m not a power user, so I don’t use the majority of features on my phone. I generally set my “do not disturb” at bedtime. It allows calls through from my favorite contact list and my morning alarm. I have friends that set focus time and they love it.

Edit to add to the conversation. I disable all notifications, except for things I really want: calls, FaceTime, texts and to update my food diary if I haven’t done so before 2pm.

When I need to use Uber, I just keep watch on the app. I guess I’m a bit of a psychopath. But when I’m waiting for a car, I like to watch it move on the map. There’s nothing else I would use that would need me to have a notification.

Same. TJs hurts the most. Thinking they were “good” and they have a lot of quality products.

Ha! Very appropriate response.

It’s too bad the programs that actually help people aren’t given more money and people to make it large scale. Instead, we get this.
