Original Paper

Mine was brought back from about this state when a friend gave it to me, so recovery is possible.

Mine thrives with indoor lighting and a little natural light, so don't fret as long as its not full sun or in a closet it should be fine.

Warmth can just be "not really cold" for people. Anything above 15C is probably passable. So long as its in your house it shouldn't perish, it might just slow its growth if you don't have a heater on high.

Humidity might be an issue and over or under watering. If you live someplace where the air is very dry it could be challenging as you'd have to dote on it to keep it in the sweet spot water wise.

Autobrewery syndrome is rare and probably has more to do with your diet and antibiotic use than consuming a few actively fermenting drinks.

Some drinks like pulque are traditionally drunk that way and that's why they can't be shipped long distances. So if its been done by other cultures for thousands if years, I'm not a doctor, but I'm gonna wager its fairly safe.

Just use Firefox's reader view and refresh and 95% of paywalls or adblocker blocks disappear.

Fascism isn't an opinion. We have definitions for systems of government and there are countless scholarly articles about what constitutes fascism. Things can be horrible and not be fascist, most governments are.

The Federal Government actually owns most of the west. Its the reason why there's more land for public recreation and national parks in that region of the country.

You can typically hike, camp, or explore BLM land, which is the majority of it, as much as you want so long as you don't start any fires or litter.

It was only a gallon. The disappointment is mostly that I won't have a really weird drink this year.

I've heard cider can be made with unripe apples. Might be worth a shot.

I've got my continuous brew of kombucha going for my daily consumption.

On the more interesting side, I've got some spruce tip mead going which I'm hoping turns out well. There was a little bit of a scare where I was concerned it could be infected, but it seems fine.

Sadly, I was doing an experiment with sea lovage spiced mead which succumbed to mold and needed to be dumped. Something to retry next year.

This year's berry harvest is basically FUBAR. Global warming did a number on it so now there's near zero salmonberries and the ones which did appear are partially desiccated or only half ripe. So no salmonberry wine this year, probably even not enough for jam :(

Blueberries are way too early, but they're tasting fine at least. I'll probably try a blueberry wine or mead. Encountered a few hiccups last year because of their acidity, but I'm better equipped this year so hopefully that turns out well and I can bottle some stuff for the winter.

He has fortunately lost. Though I'm sure this same idea will be floated in the future by some AIs-are-gods type.

The Raccoon for Lemmy app has some weird bugs, one of them is marking draft posts NSFW without telling you. The post should be fixed now.

They went for a catchy headline which doesn't quite fit, but I'm a sucker for musing on ecology.

Marine mammals are stuck between a rock and a hard place currently. Theres highly pathenogenic avian influenza killing those that predate on seas birds and toxic algal blooms killing those that eat fish or bivalves.

I don't think this is about making autistic people go away or find a "cure". Even if we eliminated all BPA magically, people are still going to be born with autism.

As the study explains, its probably only one element of how autism develops, but understanding how environmental toxins effect human development is important.

That's not typically possible. The study shows how BPA acts like human hormones. It might be impossible to target it without also effecting the normal hormones or receptors.

Bastards will swoop you if you're not careful.

Ngl I kinda want zeplin public transit.

neither party when elected do anything meaningful to secure the border or deport illegals.

It might shock you to learn the best way to prevent immigration is to make the countries experiencing outflows more stable and liveable, but I'm gonna take a wild guess you don't like foreign aid.

maintain demographics

There sure was a lot of hand wringing before you wrote down what your actual problem with immigration was.

Pray tell what is the ideal demographic make up if the United States?

monero icon

Imagine branding yourself with the image of a way to circumvent state authority only to lick the boot at the first opportunity.

This thread is getting heated. Please remember to be respectful to other users.

It is a juvenile bald eagle. They get their iconic colors as they mature.

Sadly, this is probably true.

They are pretty, but the whole region has changed a lot in recent years as Telluride has exploded in popularity.

Assassination to prevent cease fire talks seems like a common tactic recently.

Every year is the hottest on record too. The stakes in elections never go down and the problems only pile on.

Deadliest catch story lines are drying up. Gotta have Harris call in an airstrike on an illegal Chinese trawler.

In variable environments, stratified societies spread more and are also better able to survive resource shortages by sequestering mortality in the lower classes

Something something "essential workers".

That is correct. Theres some backwards incentives and basically none for providing OBGYN care.

I was going to say the same. Funny it gets written off today as a hoax when tons of people had to fix slews of bugs. It could've been bad, but fortunately the worst I heard about was some people getting stuck in some elevators.

Agreed, this is a maximalist take on the idea, but the technofeudalism or neofeudalism is a parallel but district criticism of the same behavior. Feudalism seems to imply that its stable though and enshittification implicitly says that its not.

Bold assumption that this child isn't being home"schooled".

the alliance between religious groups and crime syndicates is something we will probably see more of in the future.

The model seems very exportable and that's the most concerning part. Both groups prey on the vulnerable and the ability to launder money through religious organizations seems like a combination that won't be overlooked for long.

Its a good reminder that one must actively shape the future lest some meth fueled fanatics do it themselves.

Thats obviously from mastodon, not twitter.

The investigation, published in a multi-part series in 2022, revealed for the first time how former Gov. Phil Bryant used his office to steer the spending of millions of federal welfare dollars — money intended to help the state’s poorest residents — to benefit his family and friends, including NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre

The journalist who reports on corruption will be in jail and not those who actually did it.

Still going to vote for whoever is the dem candidate, but the post debate polling is indicating that they would be wise to pick literally anyone else.

How about we get someone who can win in a swing state so we can avoid Trump? Because right now from the polling it looks like Biden can't.

I'd vote for a literal corpse with a (D), but there's voters who are somehow undecided or ambivalent about fascism. The fact remains that the polling shows this hurts Biden in required swing states which is extremely concerning.

Saying that Biden needs to be replaced is not the same as saying don't vote for whoever is the Democratic candidate. I've been screaming into the void telling people to vote on Lemmy and even I think he needs to be switched out. The post debate polling is that damning.

If the dems shove it down our throats I'm still voting for him, but there's still a narrow window to get a better candidate and we should take it.

If a highschool student cannot be instructed on Shakespeare without it being a crime, the law is too far gone to be reasonable in anyway. The same goes for Brave New World and A Handmaid's Tale. There are graphic depictions of sex in many major works of literature and we need to quit pretending teenagers don't know what sex is or that reading about it will indelibly harm them.
