Well that’s a silly result.

“whatever they’re all just as bad”

They propose different challenges. Nothing to it.

I myself eat venison, moose and reindeer. Sometimes horse when it’s off-season for hunting, but that’s kinda janky as it’s not really game, but the incentives for “farming” horses don’t really exist so…

Anyway, my local butcher’s has some frozen 'roo. I’ve had some on a pizza when drunk once, but don’t really recall it that well for my BAC was kinda high. I do remember feeling a tad absurd eating a pizza with kangaroo on it while a guy rode past on a unicycle. I’m not imagining that, although I may have also been high at the time.

Anyway, my point is how’d you compare 'roo to beef in texture and taste?

I hated lamb for instance (and generally don’t buy it because the morality is horrible, just had a chance to taste and didn’t like). Venison, moose, reindeer, horse, all awesome. Reindeer most gamy, moose second, then venison and horse on a pretty similar level. All really lean usually.

I think an artist saying shit on stage at Glastonbury, even “death, death to the IDF”, is pretty mild in comparison to actually murdering babies.

That being said I’d be all for non-killing rhetoric, but I’ll still join in on any class war and poke some fascist/capitalist piggies with sharp knives. (Like if anti-killing rhetoric which includes killing some killers is more anti-killing than rhetoric with no implied killing, then yeah, I’ll pick the former.)

Compared to other systems, seems like it’s pretty high.

Universal basic income would discourage crimes like that.

If I had to get a car in SF, I think I’d go for a small hatchback so you can see into the trunk, if it’s that bad.

The lockers usually have surveillance around them.

So you’d go there, open up an empty box and it would be incredibly easy to show who stole it. Plus even if there wasn’t surveillance, you could film yourself opening the slot, which would then show an empty slot.

So yeah, it does make a difference. The package is never left unattended, it’s never “up for grabs” by anyone.

That being said thieving and whatnot is comparatively rare in Finland anyway. We’re #1 in the wallet drop test. https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/least-honest-cities

super rare occasion

The problem is so ubiquitous , they’re commonly known as “porch pirates”.

“~Two million packages go missing every day, 90 000 in New York alone”

And the video is five years old.

other American was right, they’re really not as common a

He most certainly wasn’t.

He was practically denying that it ever happened, when it’s common as pickpocketing. Meaning more common in some places, less so in others, but definitely a known and existing issue.

Oh yeah, they’re exceedingly common here.

Usually placed inside commercial buildings like stores etc, there are a few just outside as well. They’re quite thin metal so I assume in some places in the US someone would just take a crowbar to a whole station, but if it’s inside a building that’s gonna be much harder.

Here you’ll need to have an ID or at least a driving licence (which isn’t technically an official ID, but is accepted as such in most places outside banks and whatnot) to go and pick up your shit.

Well, not anymore, as lots of them go to the automats and then you just require the PIN.

And depending on what sort of package you’re getting in the mail, you can sometimes give your package id to a friend who can pick it up, but they’ll need an ID of their own as well so it’ll get registered who picked up the parcel.

The US is a lot vaster but one still imagines people wouldn’t mind picking up packages from the nearest grocery store they use, if it meant that their shit can’t be stolen?

I mean I only need it to be there.

I genuinely don’t even know which part of a pizza you wouldn’t trust. Is it like the restaurant or the driver or your neighbours? What are they gonna do aside from swiping your pizza?

I remember like 6 years ago chatting on Reddit to some American about how the system of just leaving packages at the door is unsafe as fuck and I would never trust it with anything more expensive than a pizza.

Here there’s delivery points and automats in pretty much every grocery store. So you can have shit delivered, but unless it’s something massive (or delivered food), people rarely do. You just get a notification on your phone and pick up your package from the point you chose to prioritise. Sometimes it can be full and you have to pickup a package from the next point over, but they’re all over the place so.

The American went on a huge rant about how porch pirates are rare as can be and how it would be beyond frustrating and a waste of time to pick up packages from your nearest grocery store.

It’s essentially a punishment for daring to fall in love with someone who isn’t British/Irish

OR rich.

Which makes it worse.

“We’re racist, but if you’re rich, we’ll overlook it”

No you won’t.

Yeah that sort of luck is hard to believe, but so is winning the lottery. But it usually happens to someone.

Honestly, for him, I hope he was drunk. Otherwise, or even if he was, he’ll have fucking hard trauma forever. But studies show that you’re more likely to survive accidents and get less mental trauma if you’re drunk. (Although being drunk is often the cause for accidents, so discounting that…)

Anyway, incredible luck in such misfortune

Leaving a comment here for someone to reply to with more information

Edit it was for me to easily find back. Inwas suspicious of this person claiming it’s faked. Miraculous surviving happens all the time. It’s just a very low chance. But like people have survived falling out of planes without parachutes to the middle of the jungle

Huh.

I remembered vaguely that maybe Jorge Cervantes talked about miracle gro. But I don’t remember what he said. It was almost two decades ago tho.

Anyway, perlite is more expensive so even if miracles gro used to be good, they may have shrinkflated a little, replacing the more expensive parts with cheaper shit and lowering the quality.

I aways add like at least a third of the mix of perlite. Usually half, sometimes even more in my active hydro systems. But even just for soil, I’d aim for at least 20-30% of the soil being perlite or other airy additive.

It’s just when they’re establishing roots, even if the mix isn’t horrible and it’s nice and airy when it comes out, usually the first watering muddies and packs it. So if you don’t add as much aery additives, maybe keep it loose and add something like clay balls as a layer on top, then gently water when you do, and that should avoid the material packing too much.

Idk it’s personal preference and depends on a lot on how you garden otherwise, just sharing thoughts.

They look decent enough, but if there was one thing I see that could be improved, perhaps, it’s that people very often don’t bother adding aeration to their soil. Like a third of perlite, even half depending on the plant. Just keeps the soil so much better draining so watering doesn’t compact it and the plant has an easier time making roots.

I’ve just noticed it’s the most limiting factor usually, and soils nowadays are all pretty shit. Even the supposed “cactus soil” I got was muddy as hell, definitely not good for cacti, I barely used it to plant my cannabis. It’s for the mother plant, so it being a bit slow growing is fine.

But I have noticed the quality and aeriness of the soil impacts the early phases of growth quite a lot. After there’s a proper root ball, less so.

If only had VR still. And pals…

Seemed like great larping. I would’ve jizzed at the chance of something like that 25 years ago when I was doing just that essentially, but the GPU was just imagination. Now it’s like half real and I have zero friends (period) who would be willing to play something like that.

Yeah I think this is to counter someone selling theirs on purpose replacing it. Guess the number is just honestly an estimate of what could reasonably happen, but then it’s still 3 a year. But then again you couldn’t definitely have such bad luck to lose your wallet thrice a year.

Anyways, I’d assume that if (well before the US went totally mad) there was an actually reasonable case of someone encountering the limit who clearly wasn’t a fraudster, it’d probably be amended.

But that’s just my cursed optimism, probably doesn’t reflect reality.
