It’s a great dessert. But Midwesterns treat it exactly like a lettuce salad. Like you go to a buffet and people will put pistachio/marshmallow pudding on their plate next to their steak.

If you want rage, Midwesterners put marshmallows in pistachio pudding and call it salad.

A party typically includes a fighter, magic user, thief and cleric.
What party did you think I was referring to?

Oil and Natural gas are not required. Ammonia is nitrogen and hydrogen.
It is why solar powered fertilizer factories exist.

Fertilizers are made from Amonia which in turn is made using the Haber-Bosch process which requires fossil fuels to provide the necessary energy and as reactants
That’s exactly what I said! Fertilizer is not made from oil. The factory is powered by oil. Just like your home where you garden is powered by oil.

Imagine instead of putting leaves into plastic bags to get shipped to a landfill, or burning, houses normalized having compost piles.
I appreciate your argument but there’s no need to throw in a strawman. Leaves in plastic bags have been illegal in most US states for decades. Yard waste must be in paper bags.

Those fertilizers in turn are mainly made from Oil,
Fertilizer is not made from oil. Oil/gas is used to power the factory but that doesn’t make the farming unsustainable.
Because if you use the criteria of where we get our energy from, home gardening isn’t sustainable either because your house is powered by oil/gas.

To be fair, it’s only a few scattered atoms. The astronauts on the moon didn’t have to fight through a hurricane.

- Comment on Why American Suburbs are so Creepy (liminal spaces) 1 week ago:
If people didn’t want cheap cookie cutter suburbs they would spend more for something else.
Yeah, it’s the best they can afford. Like Campbell’s soup. If they had more money the homes would be larger and more unique. But that wouldn’t change suburban sprawl at all.
Suburban sprawl exists because people do not want to live that close to others. It doesn’t matter how nice you make apartments when a large percentage of the population are introverts and will pay as much as they can afford to have space.
The problem isn’t politics or laws. The problem is people.

It was probably a forest before the developer bulldozed it for houses.
- Comment on Why American Suburbs are so Creepy (liminal spaces) 1 week ago:
While I agree with all your statements about the fuel for suburban sprawl, without demand all that money would have gone into high density urban construction. Even white flight would have been a flight to new high density housing if that’s what people preferred.
It’s the problem that all the best urban planning can’t address.

Science is a process. Just because it’s improved today doesn’t mean it’s perfect.

He places the blame on “laws” when it is really capitalism. People want a single family home so capitalism provides it the absolutely cheapest way possible: cookie cutter suburbs.
It’s no different than Campbell’s soup. It’s not meant to be the best soup. It’s meant to be the soup you can afford to buy.

Google says it’s a vestigial ornament to represent a handle from when steel quality was poor.
That is all saws used to have two handles because of poor steel quality. The nib was where the front handle would attach. Later the front handle wasn’t needed but the nib remained and was later shrunk.
A toolmaker could put a nib and still have bad quality teeth. Doesn’t seem like you would judge quality by the nib.

Someone needs to send that to the mailman drivers.
I had my curb repaved by the local government. Within 10 minutes of the repairmen leaving, the mailman showed up and drove up onto the curb ruining the work the government pavers just fixed.

Given that it takes a giant room of vacuum tubes to equal the computation power of a cabinet sized 1960’s transistorized computer and neither had anything close to the AI shown in Fallout, it isn’t hyper realistic.
