- Comment on crop candles 5 days ago:
In one of the Laura Ingalls books they run around pouring water on top of their crop early in the morning when it turns out it’s frozen. It seems to be an old method.

I find it obnoxious and distracting.
- Comment on This Plastic Mr. Fantastic 2 weeks ago:
They didn’t invent plastic recycling. They are, however, using it as an excuse to make more plastic. The EU had regulations against over packaging (like putting cucumbers in plastic) for a while until plastic recycling became a thing and they went ‘meh’.

*pickanic

Join forums with people who have similar interests instead.

I’ve been on the Internet since 1992, even ran a BBS, and it never looked like that.

My own parents didn’t take my son to the emergency room when he had an asthma attack and was literally turning blue because they’d been taught asthma isn’t ‘that bad’ and people who have it are hypochondriacs.
