It's a cool plant. I've almost memorized my favorite plant book. Almost. Apparently it's not actually native, it's introduced from Europe!

Good call.

Looks like tansy! Don't eat it. Wear gloves if you remove it, and wash your hands thoroughly if you handle it. It's native to the west, but also is poisonous.

Wow, you can totally see the effect of the tariffs. Solterra used to be $1,000. It's jumped $400 overnight.

The Weinersmiths are self-described "space bastards"

That's a hell of a last name, lol.

So insane, lol.

40,000 people a year die in car crashes, but people are getting worked up over the motor the size of an orange that puts out 1HP, if that.

For a mountain bike, it means components strong enough and shocks big enough to roll over a melon-sized rock without crashing or going over the bars. Great for lift-operated parks, or singletrack in the backcountry. But yeah, $3500 for a city bike that is not a cargo bike is crazy to me. I'd be worried about it all the time.

Yeah, I've given up on bootloaders long ago. After I broke my last phone, finding a decent mid range phone with expandable storage, a headphone jack, stylus and nice colors was pretty nice. The cameras are decent, and the processing power is fine for most stuff. The only time it slows down is if I'm cropping and editing a video or screen recording, which is a pretty seldom thing.

I got Motorola with a headphone jack, and I use it surprisingly often. All my Bluetooth stuff has fallen apart faster than my wired stuff.

Those fake astroturf fields and yards people are installing are actually quite toxic. In addition to heating plastic to high temperatures and baking it under powerful UV light each summer, the plastics and rubbers used for them are usually from sources like car tires which are full of PFAS to resist fires, wear, UV, etc. Those leach into surrounding areas whenever it rains.

Stereotype? It's nearly a universal truth at this point. Whatever they campaign against, they are doing. The list of people who are actually truthful and not sex predators, cheaters, bi/gay/CD or watching porn that they advocate banning would be shorter.
