I did anaheim, cayenne, and habanero this year, and they all did really well; I’m having to learn how to dry them properly. I’m in zone 7b, and I was worried a little bit about the heat for a few weeks, but I just made sure to water them a little more often. I hope whatever you choose to grow you do well!

My peppers were so easy this year, and I got quite a few. A lot of my tomatoes got blight, though, which is a bummer :/
growing plants is pretty straight forward though, just give them a ton of sunlight and water every few days (if they’re outside)!

I know I’m preaching to the choir, but in Communism: The Highest Stage of Ecology, Suing makes a pretty strong argument, I believe, that most of the framework for the environmental degradation that did happen in the USSR came about under Krushchev, not Stalin. I know this is just supposed to be a hyperbolic comparison, but it’s not even an accurate one ffs.

I’ve accepted I’ll get the weird looks at the park when I walk my dog, but dammit I have a lot of thoughts

18 hour drive sounds awful, I’m glad you ended up making it ok!

What happened to ranting to yourself on the way to work? Hell, I ranted to myself for an entire 7 hour car ride once, kids these days don’t know shit

I’d rather see some cool uses of LLMs in an organizational capacity than constantly bemoaning how bad they are. I don’t really see how we can put the cat back in the bag at this point.

It’s gonna take me a while up finish up that book, but it’s blowing my mind every chapter I get through. Seeing the echoes of these systems, structures, and attitudes reverberate through today is wild.

I gotta log off for a while, this past week has been too much for me

Bucatini was robbed, smh

I think it’s likely we’ll be disappointed by him in a lot of ways, but the dooming I’ve seen over on twitter feels more like smug cynicism than any actual thoughts. No discussion on leveraging any of his potential failings to push people left or to get organized, but lots and lots of “there will be no good things, cops will just get more money, don’t have any hope”.

I think there’s definitely people in the online left (marxist or otherwise) who go too far in clowning on the academics and academic study. I had someone argue with me, right here on this site, that mathematicians should stop wasting time with the meaningless abstract stuff (like voting systems or game theory) and focus on solving real problems.

“sporting a wearable” sounds like a euphemism

I kinda zoned out and then that LOCKED me back in wtf

Beacons rules, but I think Fade is probably my favorite. Subsume also goes unnecessarily hard

Everything else aside, a 4% margin of error makes this a remarkably close race. I think the ranked-choice voting also makes polls like this a little less illuminating, and that will likely boost Mamdani a little bit more as well.

Yeah, according to the US, the Korean War was officially just a “police action”, and therefore no reparations were due.

That’s so fucking cool, I hope you’re proud! Having something so tangible to represent your work like that has gotta be a good feeling

Tallahassee, Florida. That’s also what “Tally” is referring to.
After I posted this, I realized you’re probably making a joke here, either way
