Any advice on bushes that keep dying?
  • Blueberries and other vaccinium species do well with a wood mulch top layer as they make fungal associations that help them deal with environmental stress. It also help retain moisture.

    "Oh you're so lucky, I wish I could spend so much time in bed"
  • I’m experiencing just a minor pain surge from stress right now, and it feels debilitating. It’s hard explaining why a headache or backache takes your out of commission. I live my life at 3/10, so a two point increase makes life REALLY hard.

    What is a good safe way to wash pine sap from an animal's fur?
  • Butter. Sap is not water soluble, so soap and water won’t work. It is, however, fat-soluble, so you must rub an oil (any pet-safe/food oil will work) into the fur and incorporate the two together. Then you can use soap and water to rinse out the mixture. Voila! Works like a charm on many hydrophobic substances.

    hmmm
  • This is the “pro-Palestine group are anti-semetic” strawman argument played out in real life. To be anti-genocide/Pro-Palestine does not make one anti-Semitic; it is anti-Semitic to assume all Jewish people support the Israeli State apartheid and to conflate Zionism with Judaism.

    But I’m just preaching to the choir here

    'I lost my appetite': Cheeseburger served with waiver at Toronto restaurant
  • Oh no, no no. It’s seared on the outside and barely warm on the inside. Super raw. Basically you cook the outside just enough to kill pathogens and then get all the inside raw bloody and delicious.

    So I am a proponent of delicious barely cooked meat, but only in steaks and other “whole meats”. Ground meat has a HUGE surface area that contacts machinery so it gets cooked all the way through, always.

    'I lost my appetite': Cheeseburger served with waiver at Toronto restaurant
  • Absolutely. One could argue that the restaurant went out of its way to provide a customer food request, but many restaurants refuse to cook ground beef at anything below well-done.

    Personally, as a Canadian, I would never eat anything less than that for a hamburger, but I cook my steaks near blue at home.
