In January 1783, Price returned to his laboratory in Guildford, ostensibly to start production of the miraculous powders. In fact, he set about the distillation of laurel water (which contained hydrogen cyanide, commonly known as prussic acid). He wrote his will at the same time, but it was another six months before he returned to London to invite members of the Royal Society to witness the experiment on 3 August in his laboratory in Guildford.

Despite the claimed successes of his initial demonstrations and the furor they had caused, only three members turned up in Guildford on the appointed day. Although clearly disappointed by the poor turnout, Price welcomed the three men and then, stepping to one side, ended his life by drinking the flask of laurel water he had prepared. The three men immediately noticed a change in his appearance, but before they could do anything, Price had died of cyanide poisoning.

Not only that, but they are the same species (different cultivars): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea

Did you also know there’s no talking crab in the original story by Hans Christian Andersen? Since we’re being faithful to the original.

Who tf cares about Hunter Biden?

While it doesn’t contradict what you’re saying, apparently ”the provisions of his parole required him to surrender any electronic devices and passcodes." Wtf

It’s a cool idea, but has not worked well in practice. The plant referenced in the 2016 article you linked (Crescent Dunes) stopped operation in 2019 due to performance and cost issues. It appears to have restarted after the original owner filed for bankruptcy and sold the asset, but at a lower capacity.

Instructions unclear; I read to the tune of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

I thought the original post was satire - list all of the privacy issues, then throw in “Privacy <3” at the end. Seriously, almost every one of those points has a potential privacy issue.

Guess I was being too generous.

I love fresh artichokes - I can’t find good ones here in grocery stores. I tried growing a one-year cultivar once - it did produce a couple of small buds, but wasn’t worth the trouble.

Looking good! Do I see artichokes?

In case it helps for the future, I also think you came off defensive from the first reply. If everyone but you seems like an asshole, you may want to look at how you’re acting.

You usually seem pretty positive on here - if you’re having a crappy day, I hope things feel better after a night’s sleep.

Good explanation. Crop rotation also decreases plant diseases and insect damage.

Is a sub/hoagie a sandwich? Bread is usually connected.

Oh God, why did I get involved

Good to know - I’m trying this for the first time this year.

Any luck with growing second generation seeds from the plants you grew?

I was finally able to keep the vibe borers from killing my zucchini last year. Maybe I just got lucky, but this combo worked for me:

1. Manual picking of eggs - I usually do this daily.
2. Cover bottom of vines with aluminum foil.
3. Spray with Bt. Follow package instructions, usually spray once or twice per week, depending on if it rained heavily.

How do you transfer the food from the cutting board to the measuring cup?

You keep saying that, but it’s not an extra step. Weighing the food is in place of the volume measurement, not in addition.

Using volume measurement: start cutting broccoli. Add to a measuring cup until you get the right amount.

Using weight measurement: cut broccoli. Add to scale until you have the right amount (actually I would usually weigh out a single large piece, then chop it all at once - same amount of effort).

Or you place your bowl etc. on the scale and tare after each addition. Doesn’t work in all situations (e.g. pan on the stove) but is great for baking.
