NW Florida. Not legal to grab them, but I’ve moved some to my swampy camp in the boondocks. Growing some in a buried trashcan pond, getting seeds to spread around.

Worked tech support for an ISP. The tech side was well managed and smart. (Left when that changed.)
The customer service side fielded TV and account related calls. They were driven by average calls times. What a cluster. Guess who straight hung up on customers when the call went too long? Some people would call be 4-5 times.
Meanwhile, we could take all the time it took to resolve. A 1-hour call is way cheaper than rolling a truck. Yet some assholes would roll trucks for nothing, then bitch there were no trucks left.
You either understand that climate change is real and the world’s major threat, or you don’t. Who thinks this won hearts and minds? If anything, it turned the fence sitters off.
Dry them in the sun, reduces wear a great deal. Also nukes fungi.
I water all my indoor plants with rainwater, makes a stunning difference.
I’ve seen both conditions with pitcher plants, don’t know what to think.
The swamp down the street is packed with nutrients, has to be, and that’s where I’ve seen them thrive. OTOH, I’ve seen fields of them where it’s marshy, but I’d guess the soil is thin like everywhere else around here.
Try BAND-AID® Brand Hydro Seal. Generic works as well, but you waste one unwrapping sometimes. I get cuts and dings everywhere, changed my life.
I didn’t truly understand how much energy incandescent were burning. Grew up with nothing but those.
One night my AC crapped out in my tiny apartment so I killed the lights except one in a far corner. The air was so still I could reach my hand out and sense the heat from a 60W bulb.
One of those saved my ass on a solo, overnight kayaking trip. I mostly brought beer, ice and food in my tow-behind cooler because I had a Life Straw.
The trip was hell, most difficult thing I’ve ever done, wasn’t sure I’d make it out. Was good on water until the next day when I finally broke out onto the main creek.
Cut the top off a can and sucked down 7 refills of creek water. Tasted exactly like warm, flat, tap water.
The issue at the Supreme Court is whether the agency should have weighed the potential environmental harm of the railroad’s main cargo, both where the oil is drilled in Utah and refined on the Gulf Coast, when it has no regulatory authority over oil production.
I’m not as down on SCOTUS as the rest of you, excepting Thomas and Alito. They’ve either ruled or refused a couple of dozen cases that could be seen as liberal wins. But this one sounds like a slam dunk for the railroad.
Sounds like an agency regulating a thing they don’t have authority over. This Court will overrule them in a heartbeat.
the EPA hadn’t killed them with poorly written standards
Thank you! I see so many people blaming the manufacturers for greed. No, the EPA killed the small truck. Perfect example of well-meaning laws paving the road to hell.
And so is every Coke bottle with 5 times the plastic. And so is every store-bought coffee. Yet… silence. 🦗🦗🦗
What about bottles? Far more energy requires to melt and pour glass. No one says a word about single use.
Never found a K-cup on the beach or trail, but I pack plastic bags to haul trash and sometimes load 2 or 3.
Yes, it’s a waste, but the whole thing was blown way the hell out of proportion.
I hike, kayak, canoe, whatever, all over the place. Every plastic bottle I pick up contains, what, 5 times the plastic? I pick up a LOT. And nobody thinks twice or raises a fuss.
We use a Keurig, but either with plastic refill cups or paper bags my wife brings home from the hotel.
I’ve got that version that shoots 410. Because of the rifling on it comes out in a pinwheel. If you shot me at 10-15", I doubt a single pellet would land.
Western Left: Terrified of guns, won’t touch one, thinks we can vote our way out.
Me: Ready for when Red Shirts come.
“NO! It won’t work like that!!”
Women, LGBT and minorities are the largest gun buying demographic:
“NO! Not like that!!”
The Ukrainians got a clue. Do you?
Watched a great episode of Paul Santenello’s show where he tours West Virginia. As always, his shows are eye opening, showing us people and places we’ve never encountered before.
WV is a wasteland of poverty due to the collapse of coal. You can imagine how they feel about continuing coal mining. It’s all they’ve known, for 3 generations.
They didn’t try to pivot to any other sort of economy and now they’re buried alive. WV is the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited, bar none. Damned heartbreaking.
And while I’m at it, let me stump for his channel. Take a look at the linked home page. He goes into places most have never seen. East LA, Compton, Appalachia, Mississippi, nowhere does he shy away from the people. He’s as neutral as they come, isn’t afraid to ask hard hitting questions, no sensationalism, just straight investigation and reporting.
Just got mine out 5 minutes ago! And the one I left overnight.
The vegemite sandwiches are enough to keep me away.
OTOH, a horse was incredibly valuable to a common man.
I’ve seen a .22LR of mine keyhole. Once. Or twice. Ever. I honestly thought this was an AI imagine making fun of the PLA.
