by us (not in canada, but your shittier southern neighbour), it’s all beer cans.
like, bad enough you’re driving while chugging a tallboy of natty ice, but you gotta throw it in our yard on your way by, too?
i shouldn’t be surprised that the venn diagram is a circle, but for some reason i always am.
full disclosure i do not grow - but i do consider myself an avid gardener/nature enjoyer.
assume you’re talking about outside - i’ve heard good things about pest repellent plants to keep…more important…things safe. things like cilantro, parsley and dill are supposed to have pest repellant properties. edit to fix typos
flowers like chrysanthemums and marigolds attract ladybugs and other pest killers.
things like chives also allegedly have antifungal(?) properties.
if you’re talking not outside, i agree with shareni - cover crops are great. i buy a 1lb bag of mustard seed every year and sprinkle that shit everywhere and then let it grow/die/fertilise the soil.
and just like any other excuse, aren’t we beholden to call it out for the benefit of all?
instead, like capitalism, we seem to shrug and say “that’s just how humans are lol” while we go back to killing each other over money or made up stories from 2000 years ago.
just like in therapy/recovery/etc, don’t we have to acknowledge(and i mean actually reflect on) the problem (organised religion, in this case) before anything gets better?
i finished it and i agree. i liked TLOU (show and lesser extent game), but Fallout had enough of the game’s…surreal?…humour that it bumped it from an “oh god this is a slog through human misery” (not in a bad way, per se!) to “miserable, but with bits of unexpected hilarity” for me.
both great shows - hope we get more like them!
i think the common response to that (biased, cause this is what we do in my lawn) is that by letting things get wilder, more natural tick predators come out as well - possum, snake, bird, etc.
that being said, i’ve had to pick a few off me…the price for wild turkeys flocking in my yard is one i’m willing to pay!
edit:changed your to my to clarify!
it’s cinema sins but with the “he’s an astrophysicist so he must know what he’s talking about”
when an otherwise smart guy spends his time nitpicking…movies?…he comes across as the friend you wouldn’t want to go to the movies with, no?
you can argue that the hate might be “over the top” (and i tend to agree), but that mfer comes across as straight insufferable - in that if i had a choice i wouldn’t want to be around him - so i can empathise.
edit: i’m sure there’s more, but i’m struggling to come up with any other scientist who spends their time saying “haha that ben affleck movie about oil drillers isn’t scientifically accurate!?!?” instead of, you know, positively impacting/selling their field of study.
maybe a middle ground -
he (ie trump) and his team have done the slow walk and delay for everything we’ve seen publicly regarding legal matters. everything takes so much longer than it needs to (and then it’s a problem), so perhaps years of empirical evidence leads to an educated guess.
