Yeah that’s some petty bullshit.
Side note but I really appreciate the mod log feature.

- Comment on Germans: what genocide? 7 months ago:
I acknowledge your point and agree there is contradiction in AP and Reuters’ headline. On the other hand release of hostages is kind of a given to accept a sustained ceasefire. Hamas must come to the table in some capacity. After all, it isn’t really even the hostages that are preventing Israel from bombing Gaza into oblivion. And it isn’t the hostages that is spurring public outcry, but rather the death of Palestinian civilians already occurring. So anything that advances the protections of those civilians should be paramount, and that includes hostages.
Regardless it’s a moot point, for a ceasefire resolution did pass days later:
The text demanded “an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire”. It also demanded the release of hostages but did not make a truce dependent on them being freed, as Washington had previously demanded.
Not sure I agree with that personally, nor that China and Russia are some sort of concerned humanitarian forces in the region, but alas.

“Russia and China veto US resolution calling for immediate cease-fire in Gaza”
???
- Comment on Germans: what genocide? 7 months ago:
That’s equivocation. [Reuters - “Russia, China veto US-led UN resolution on Gaza ceasefire”(]reuters.com/…/un-security-council-fails-pass-us-r…)
- Comment on Germans: what genocide? 7 months ago:
They have tried to stop the war… With Ceasefire votes… That even the US no longer vetoes…
… Russia and China vetoed. Blame them.
The next best thing is that UN committees can investigate and identify genocide without it necessarily being vetoed. Once the UN and especially ICC identify such genocide, that adds global pressure; such global pressure leads to supporters of Israel to reconsider holding Israel’s hands; hence why the US in an unprecedented move has stepped further away from Israel than it has for decades. People don’t understand just how closely-linked Israel and US have been. I never would’ve thought a sitting US President would say a bad word about Israel/Bibi without fear of major backlash. We’re certainly at an inflection point — and it’s about fucking time.

urine is a fantastic nitrogen fertilizer
bonemeal for phosphorus
wood-ash for potassium.
Probably not concentrated enough to work on an industrial scale, but probably on smaller communal farms.

Was wondering, do Orchids do this, too? They have “air roots” and basically subsist off zero substrate.

Okay hear me out. Sauerkraut. Don’t get the canned stuff; get the refrigerated sauerkraut as that’s hugely beneficial to your gut. I find snacking on a bit of that satiates my snacking drive in the evening.
