  • Seen different sources, some say its about age verifying to protect children from content, others about age verification because they are harvesting data they shouldn’t be harvesting on children. What about they shouldn’t be fucking data harvesting on anyone?!

    Either way, fuck reddit. But I really hope this is just because they are harvesting data that they shouldn’t because then at least Lemmy should be safe from this kind of thing by just not harvesting user data. Reddit already requires ID to view NSFW in the UK, so if its “harmful content” I would be kinda curious what that is too.

    Yeah, that is why I am thinking of planting mint there instead. Should come up with some ways to preserve large amounts of mint when I have it for when its dead over winter though. Mint jelly is an obvious one.

    I think mint honey should have a decent shelf life too without requiring refrigeration. Probably isn’t that different from mint jelly but using honey as a source of sugar and it isn’t set with pectin, which shouldn’t really impact the shelf life. Use it like a sweet minty syrup.


  • Yeah that is what I liked doing with KSP mods. My last long playthrough was using USI mods and that at least partially gets away from the jank by abstracting the majority of the bases across the solar system to a spreadsheet with no parts used, including interplanetary logistics. Then you just need a few parts where you want to take some actual resources out to use them for something.

    I got to the point of having fuel stations around orbit of Kerbin and both of its moons, also had rare mineral mining going to make cash. If I play again the next step is to start mining and refining useful amounts of metals so that my orbital ship assembly doesn’t need to import quite so much mass from the space centre. Start with mining to make the heavy bits first and then over time build more and more of the production chain myself in space so fewer and fewer things need to be launched into space.

    Once all that stuff is done, start looking to other planets as well. Although I often ran quite a few simultaneous missions so already got probes heading out to most planets. At least tiny probes if nothing else, as once its small enough it doesn’t really need to be the most efficient launch window. Just burn an extra 2000dV of fuel which is only about 100kg? Sure, this rocket is so cheap it doesn’t really matter.

    Mine haven’t flowered that much yet, but perhaps stress from transplanting them could be involved and they are still growing larger. Would be nice to see them flower as I have seen others that look quite nice when they do.

    Will look into the bread, got sourdough starter so may use that.

    The impression I get is some types of bamboo can grow non invasively, though not native either. But would need more space to grow and may not be a great yield in the first place grown in the UK.

    Helping bees is always a bonus, in my back garden I have chives and sage that both get quite a bit of attention from the bees. Also growing thyme and rosemary but they don’t seem to care for that. Poppy patch is also loved by bees, was hoping to use the poppy seeds for baking but don’t really get that much. Shitloads for growing more poppies but not very useful to eat.

    When I planted the lawn (was previously concrete paved across the entire garden) I used a mix of meadow grass and clover, but the clover hasn’t really done much which is a shame. Don’t care for obsessively treated lawns, it’s a space to sit down. Not certain, maybe park grass would have been better? Don’t really know tbh, ideally want something that will grow deep roots and is never going to have artificial fertiliser or any other treatments because fuck that effort and money.

    Probably never going to water it either, beyond maybe dumping not too filthy waste water on it if available. Currently got 300L combined of rainwater storage, but that is reserved for the plants I can eat.

    But the entire point of growing something is to eat it. Or be useful in some way at least, considered bamboo for free canes but it sounds like it can damage concrete around it and even clumping bamboo would try and grow larger than the space I have fairly quickly due to the narrow width.

    Fine, I will plant mint instead.

    Actually considering mint for the front garden though. It’s a narrow strip of dirt surrounded on all sides by 10+ metres of paved land. Hopefully it would be less thirsty than using pots and tbh all that is growing in it currently is thorns.
