This is a scam, ordered some and they don’t tell you that it only works with salt water but I have dirty fresh water! Now stuck buying salt every day.

Or it takes a while for the customer to notice so you can ignore it until then

If there has been less spent on war they could have built some infrastructure to help with the situation.

It isn’t just America, UK if you have any news article about cycling you can guarantee someone in the comments will advocate for killing people.

So I strap a propane cylinder to the back of my bike. Mutually assured destruction.

Probably not given that he isn’t real

Multiple instances gives redundancy

Well, lemmy. That worked fine.

I barely noticed

Data protection only covers the living IIRC.

Blood is what you get when you squeeze out the body. Wine is what you get (eventually) when you squeeze out the grape.

How much more do kids cost than an adult? Could easily afford to feed an extra adult or two around the house. How much more is a child?

Mortgage wouldn’t change. Electricity usage surely wouldn’t change too much as you are still heating the same house to the same temperature. Little more hot water for showers I guess. Food costs us £20 or so a week for 2 adults, so even doubling to 4 people that would be £40, probably less by benefiting more from bulk buying/cooking.

Do agree clothing might suck, school uniforms are extortionate in the UK. Apparently the average is a few hundred, that is more than all of my clothes combined.

They already have products that don’t cost that much though. Do wish their website was better listed to compare specs of their SBCs though.

Can’t find NVC info for my area, found maps for other counties and Scotland but not here. Quite a few other maps list mine as unsurveyed too. This one actually specifies it as unsurveyed/urban which could be part of the reason it doesn’t show up in various maps.

Topsoil carbon stock - low, given that the garden was under concrete for a long time I would assume it is even lower than the surrounding area is too. Although by mixing in compost I expect that could be improved eventually. Hopefully the meadow grass will have improved it a bit too, it has been there for a year now and should grow deeper roots than lawn grass.

Soil layer deep, found a few maps saying sandy loam which I presume is for the topsoil because deeper down it seems much heavier. Parent soil river loam.

I do have water butts, but the combined 300L doesn’t last very long for anything more than some pots and we usually get extended drought over summer so for the summer just gone I tried to mainly focus on keeping them going. I do have shrubs (rosemary, thyme, sage, bay trees) down the sides which overall I am more keen on keeping alive than the grass in the middle so I gave them a bit every few weeks without rain but it rapidly uses up water. They are doing perfectly fine which is good, though the bay is still small as they were planted from cuttings and it was freshly planted last year and I watered them a bit more because of that.

I have seen clover growing on the side of roads within a few miles of my house, so I do expect its happy in my region and it probably just struggled to thrive when starting the garden. So growing in pots to get a few clumps established is something I may try in spring and then hope it can spread on its own from there if it has had a better starting point. Common daisy and creeping buttercups are others I am thinking of.

Not sure how useful average rainfall stats are any more, every year seems to be the wettest winter and driest summer on record. Hopefully as life returns to my garden over time it should improve a bit though. Have been contemplating a large underground rain tank but they cost quite a bit.

Are there hunter gatherer methods of launching a spear effectively while underwater? Plus wouldn’t it be much harder to see the fish.

2 and 3 are the same thing. 1 isn’t something I care about too much.

Why would you donate to pine64? They are selling things, just buy their stuff. Its like a donation but you get stuff out of it too!

That is with modern equipment though

Fucking clankers should know their place.

Recently fixed it for 5 years at a lower rate than it was before.

My partner said no :(
