Thoughts and prayers, scumbag. Oh no, you got scammed? So sad.

So far I have raspberries, a cherry tree, and a peach tree. I also have a blueberry bush in a container.

The crappy design here is that this is called Core. Core implies it's a central or fundamental feature. I wouldn't consider that as part of a paid upgrade path.

I hope gene therapy becomes more prevalent, because these purely academic examples would likely be priced out of the reach of the vast majority of people suffering from these things. Capitalism must have its pound of flesh (or gold).

Yeah, it's the same effects we saw with the TCJA 2017, where they tie it knowing Democrats will take the blame once the hammer drops. It's so predictable, but I've given up trying to convince my friends and family. I excised the MAGA's from my life, though, that was a necessity for my own mental health.

Depends on the part of MN you are in. I'm in New England, zone 5B. MN ranges from zones 3-5. You can plant them now, but may or may not get any fruit from them before this year's frost. Some varieties fruit twice in a growing season, some don't, and new plants rarely produce in the first season.

I planted a single small cane in my front yard 3 years ago. I got nothing in year 1 because I planted it in September/October. Next season I got some small canes and a few berries. Last year I got more berries and a couple more canes. This year the canes are finally coming up full height, and I'm expecting a pint or more berries in late summer. I get a couple snacks each day I check my garden.

My intent is to break up my front yard into a fruit forest/garden, since I hate mowing crab grass and hate the concept of a mono-culture grass-only front lawn. It never grows like that anyways, so I embrace the diversity.

If you let the others in this thread scare you about them "taking over" or being too thorny, just know you can always prune (or dig), and there are varieties that are less thorny.

I don't get the point of this. Is the point to send people to some place so inhospitable that it scares future refugees from attempting to apply for asylum?

It's kind of akin to the DMC DeLorean, in more than just the chunky aesthetic aspects. That vehicle was a really bad one, too, with regard to build quality and reliability. The Back to the Future movies are probably the only reason there is any cultural relevance to them, after the 80's ended.

Well, his admin got SSA to send everyone an email saying it does

No, it was written by smart people with zero empathy and a plethora of conflicts of interest. Don't make these ghouls out to be inept, they are smart, and just awful people.

Of course, only Republicans exploit a government majority trifecta so skillfully. Democrats just get Chuck Schumer's stern looks and strongly worded letters, instead.

 

I think this community is appropriate for this topic, since this solution is being rolled out to combat AI scraping of websites.

I don't really understand why the collective agreement is "it is better than captchas would be", when you didn't need to pass a captcha just to view a website in the first place. Why are people not more pissed off about every website suddenly requiring this laggy, sometimes actually a captcha anyways (checkbox to prove you are human) solution slowing down visits to websites?

And why can't CloudFlare offer some way for us lowly non-AI's to prove we're human, once, for our entire web experience, versus on. every. damned. website. one. at. a. time?

I counted, and I hit this turnstile solution on 28 website visits today, and sometimes more than once on the same site. That's minutes of my life I don't get back, and likely hours to days over the course of a year.

There has to be a better way...

Been down for a couple hours for me.

 

For me, it's a light grey color and the text is white, even when CarPlay is set to always use dark mode. This is hard for me to read, but I can't find any way to change this. I'd rather just have an actual dark background when in dark mode.

 

For folks using multiple accounts, it feels a bit buried to go from content in one to the other. It would be nice if the number of taps to go between different accounts was reduced by a few.

 

I don’t know if this is the app, instance issues, or both, but I’ve found this feature to not work well

 

I think it would be cool to be able to swipe left/right when viewing an image post from the feed or in a community and be able to go from post to post like a slideshow.
