I think I rented this movie once upon a time

Are those new lilies? I've always wondered how they would do coming up through mulch. I've got a bunch around my place I'd love to mulch up to help keep the weeds down.

Big_Boss_77 ,

Any specific type of mulch you'd suggest?

Big_Boss_77 ,

I want something that the good stuff can grow through and the weeds can't lol

Big_Boss_77 ,

This is my experience as well

Big_Boss_77 ,

When they're little like that, and there's even a chance of frost I'll toss a 5 gallon bucket over them.

I even know old heads that will put them in sandwich bags. Just any barrier to keep the frost off the plant itself

Big_Boss_77 ,

What type of peppers are they? I've never messed with supporting peppers beyond just staking them vertical.

That being said, your poly as an impromptu green house could be an interesting idea and with a bit of tweaking you could probably keep them alive past first frost.

I've always wanted to build a PVC "cube" to set over my raised beds... just one of those I've never pulled the trigger on. I might see about it to keep my basil going a bit deeper into the cold months.

I'd love to see it if you ever do get around to it.

Big_Boss_77 ,

Windows for thee, not for me.

This made me think of the old meme

This is good for bitcoin

I would ask for a means of travel in with this as well... fixing the lack of breathable air would be pointless if you're stuck aimlessly drifting through space, Bender a la Godfellas style.

Big_Boss_77 ,

How do you keep the birds out of your mulberries long enough to get ripe? Not a big fan of netting trees... but other options are fair game.

Big_Boss_77 ,

Ahhh... I bet you're right. Mine are all out in fence rows, where I don't see them unless I intentionally go after them.

Big_Boss_77 ,

Huh... never seen this, I'll have to check it out. Got some wild black berries I'd like to protect too. I try it out on them. Thanks for the idea.

Big_Boss_77 ,

I've done the pie tins and cds and stuff, results were always wildly inconsistent, but a lot of old timers around here do that.

Idealistic sophistry at best, malicious deceit at worst.

In a perfect world, I would agree with you. In your fever dream, I probably do. Unfortunately, we have to play the hand we're dealt and exist in reality. In reality, the system doesn't work the way you wish it did.

Please, do everything you're saying you're going to do, make your idealist stand and pat yourself on the back because because you took the moral high ground and voted for who you thought was best.

I know you're going to come back with the logic of "vote for != vote against" and you're not wrong. There's no defense against that. In a fair, and just world, you're absolutely right. Unfortunately, the rest of us don't live in your idealist leftist utopia, and are stuck on mundane terra firma. Enjoy your smug satisfaction as you look around in a self-congratulatory stupor knowing that you didn't vote for someone who didn't implement your idealism as immediately as you wished for.

The rest of us, "liberals" or whatever the term is now days... I can't keep it straight anymore, too old and tired... conservatives who can no longer handle the directions their party is going, libertarians who can no longer abide stupidity, and the unaffiliated who simply want people to be able to live as who and what they are...love who and what they are, we will vote. Sure, it'll be a vote for the status quo, but as the status quo sits now...it's better than the alternative.

I know you find the status quo morally repugnant, and frankly I don't fault you a bit. It is, you're right. We should be so much further down the path than we are. Is the Democrat du jour going to get us there? No, probably not. Are they going to step in the right direction? Maybe. Are they going to be a triage scenario to stop the hemorrhaging and stabilize the patient so they survive long enough to get to a place where actual work can be done? Hopefully, definitely more so than the republican du jour.

It's meatball politics. It's ugly, it's unpleasant, it's sad that we have to fight so hard to simply stay where we're at.

If you read this far, I appreciate it. This is a lot of thoughts I've had reading yours and other comments throughout various forums. You are not the cause of all of these, but you were the catalyst that drove pen to paper.

I'm not looking to debate you, mainly for two reasons.

  1. There's no point.
  2. You're not technically wrong. I'm not going to dissuade you, and you're not going to elevate me beyond reality.

I hope you have a good day neighbor, and may you find the utopia you so richly deserve.

This is a post about some new movie...why are you referencing that God awful gollum game they released a while back?

Big_Boss_77 ,

Brain slugs...

Big_Boss_77 ,

Yup... wild ride for sure.

Big_Boss_77 ,

Aldi is awesome. As someone who pseudo-homesteads, if I can't grow it or raise it, I buy it from Aldi. It's the next best thing.

Big_Boss_77 ,

Does that statement apply to someone who uses python with the finesse of a woodchipper?

...asking for a friend.

Big_Boss_77 ,

This is my hole, I know it!

Big_Boss_77 ,

Well said neighbor.

Big_Boss_77 ,

I would love to learn to weld, be a mechanic, electrician... basically all the things I've had to pickup up in a triage capacity. I would love to give up my 9-5 rat race job and learn to do something beneficial well. I can't justify the current expense of taking 18-24 months off to go back to school though when I make enough to stay alive at this point.

You are probably right, but at the same time we might be surprised. UBI becomes the catalyst for this experiment to take off though.

Big_Boss_77 ,

I can suggest an equation that has the potential to change the future...

E = MC² + S

S stands for sandwich...because I'm having one, for lunch...

It is okay to get high. It is NOT OKAY to get high and eat all your baby's cereal.

Trump is funneling campaign money into cash-strapped businesses. Experts say it looks bad. ( archive.ph )

Donald Trump’s main 2024 White House campaign fundraising operation sharply increased spending at the former president's properties in recent months, funneling money into his businesses at a time when he is facing serious legal jeopardy and desperately needs cash....

That depends... how many times has Biden gone golfing? "Sleepy Joe" indeed... can't even make tee times...

I find I can bear their discomfort with extreme fortitude. I had a parrotfish once... he was an asshole. Constantly "redecorating" the tank and generally being a nuisance to the other inhabitants.

Big_Boss_77 ,

You wouldn't ask a fish to climb a tree... school is very seldom a place for intelligent people.

Big_Boss_77 ,

Nice to meet you, Sofa King We Todd Ed.

Big_Boss_77 ,

TIL Microwaves are confessionals

Big_Boss_77 ,

Tactical septic tanks are all the rage.

You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

I've got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them....

Big_Boss_77 ,

Probably be time to sit down and run through Xenogears again...

Big_Boss_77 ,

Sounds pretty good, how do you think it would handle some chillies or sambal? Something to spice it up a bit, as I'm a very big fan of spicy butternut squash.

Big_Boss_77 ,

Making me hungry now, might have to give this a shot for dinner.

Looking for a FOSS Speedometer and Map

It's about time to start tending the pastures again and I'm looking for something that can accurately depict speed logged on the device (android smart phone) along with possibly a map overlay of where I've already been. I think something like a workout/cycling tracker would work if someone can recommend a good one that logs the...

Big_Boss_77 OP ,

This could be something, I'll have to see about integration between this and some other apps I've read about. Maybe I can cobble something together.

Thanks for the info neighbor!

Big_Boss_77 OP ,

Just need to know my speed on the tractor so I can accurately measure the amount of fertilizer I put on per acre. I have a simple tractor with no Speedometer so I use my phone to track my mph in order to factor propper spray rate.

Couple that with the map to ensure adequate coverage of my acreage and I've got the necessary tools to ensure that my land is properly maintained.

Big_Boss_77 OP ,

Yeah, OSM isn't bad, I have dabbled with it a bit on another app I have tried. Thanks for the info!

Big_Boss_77 ,

Pulled fresh off the vine, little dose of salt (garlic salt if you're feeling froggy), and enjoy. The sun warmed fruit is quite luxurious when properly ripened. I'm particularly fond of Roma tomatoes in this fashion.

I'm no fish biologist, but it sounds a lot like this...

Big_Boss_77 ,

I love monkey bread.

Would also love to see a recipe lol

Big_Boss_77 ,

I experiment with cooking all the time... but to experiment with baking? You are a bold one...

Big_Boss_77 ,

Right on, Weissman is out there on his videos, but his food is usually phenomenal. Much appreciate the info!

Big_Boss_77 ,

Hundreds of years ago, material was expensive and labor was cheap. Forging was necessary to make the most out of a finite processed material. Now a days a million cheap blanks for a dollar, it's cheaper and easier to just grind off excess than take the time to forge the metal.

Because, if i remember right, he's the one who suggested the modification to the system on a tour with Elon.
