I have seen dried mushrooms and never purchased them before. I love mushrooms but I only get them fresh which are mostly cremini and sometimes shiitake. I think I will have to purchase some because its great to just throw them into dishes.

That would be fun. Every game would just be a series of different fetch quests with a rotated list of the same enemies. Like a MMRPG but worse and more expensive

ChatGPT give some pretty generic DnD advice. I can’t wait until they make a terrible automated DM. I can’t wait to play the most generic DnD of all time.

I like the changes with weapons properties and I like some of the updates with various classes for some improvements to the weaker subclasses and feats. I overall enjoyed the majority of the changes.

However, from what I have heard and seen I did not enjoy the changes to the Monster Manual and statblocks.

Gross. I was really excited for 5.5 for a while but don’t really want to get it anymore. I liked the PHB class upgrades when I read it but don’t own anything from it yet

I love Christ Perkin and Jeremy Crawford. Who is even running D&D now? They are literally the only people I knew still on the project. They are both great. Were they forced out of WoTC?

I was wondering if he was coming back. Really the most important character

Also to note that some female athletes have started to try to get their big events to happen follicular phase of their cycle. During this time they are stronger, faster and better than other parts of their cycles. Its all based on their hormone. I was chatting with some crazy distance runners who were trying to only schedule their big marathons / ultra marathons during their follicular phase only. They also try to get their distance runs and recovery days synced with their cycles. You really need an app for that.

Look delicious

I don’t use Signal (gasp I know). But this is a great workaround.

My favorite way to share files is to compose an email and attach the file. I then save it as a draft and then go to another computer and open that draft and download the file. Its the best method and it has worked for at least a decade. Sometimes you have to send it to yourself but the method is perfect

Exactly. They can move very far on wind currents as well as the fact they are useful plants for people. It would be very easy to carry some seeds or an entire plant with you when you move somewhere new. As well as the fact they are small enough to get caught on pant legs, shoes, clothes etc. to hitch a ride

You think that human developments didn’t occur in the Americas before European came in?

Dandelions are a very human centric plant which makes sense that they traveled with humans as they traveled around the globe. This travel could be accidental or brought on purpose like many other different plants.

If you have a dandelion problem I would recommend you mulch / mow the dead dandelions you pull back into your yard. Dandelions are a dynamic accumulator which means they are very good at pulling up vitamins and minerals from the soil which they incorporate into their roots leaves, etc. This means dandelions will contain those minerals when being mulched and mowed back into your yard. If you are having a dandelion problem it likely mean your yard needs one or more of the minerals that they accumulate. So my mowing it back in you will feed your lawn and reduce their appear in the future

The gist from what I have read (mostly from Native American herbalists) is that there is a oral cultural tradition for using dandelion for both food and medicine in North America. These oral traditions have various uses for the plant that likely predate European settlement. The basic concept is that Europeans never considered that a plant that they had in Europe could appear in North America unless they brought it. It was never considered to be native in both places even though the people who used in North America have a long tradition of use back by an oral tradition. However, since this was an oral tradition no one thought to consider it valid since it wasn’t written down. Since this has been suggested there is some genetic studies that back up that concept.

I found most of this information on the Dandelion section in Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have to Do Is Ask: Anishinaabe Botanical Teachings. They have a good description and I have seen it mentioned now in a few other books.

Dandelions are now basically considered native around most of the globe. There is compelling evidence both ethnobotany and genetic that dandelion are native to both Eurasia and North America.

At least the State of Minnesota has a similar consent decree with the Minneapolis police department. But that will only last as long as there are people in state to still enforce it. I doubt that will be the case for other cities who decrees are coming to be canceled. This is still despicable

I think independent social media like the Fediverse has uses with any group who would appreciate local control and free expression. I think the witchy community would fit that bill. I am unaware of any projects about it. At a certain point of users it would be inevitable just need someone connected enough to get it started.

Unrelated but I figured at a some point sex workers would flock here. Locally controlled by sex workers for sex workers would be a huge sell because they can’t be kicked off by arbitrary rules.

I’m in the packing my yard with so many things that I can use from edimentals like my ostrich ferns, cut flowers, pollinators, medicinals, herbs and vegetables. You can really pack them in

I’ve moved a few already last year. I’ve had some pretty good luck moving them in the spring as well. i think I’ll move my largest again this fall. There’s some that haven’t even come up I think

I have a whole other shade spot that could use some.
