  • They had a massive segment of military goods for sale. Everything from drone supplies to body armor. So they are actively engaged in supporting the Russians invasion.

    These are also massive warehouse hubs for the distribution of all sorts of goods. Like a large Amazon warehouse. Destroying them is an absolutely massive hit to the Russian economy with minimal risk of civilian casualties.


  • Supercrew and and a 5.5’ bed. Puts the wheel base at 157" (3.99m) and the overall vehicle length of 244" (6.2m)

    The turning radius on that thing is beyond terrible.

    Now a standard parking spot is 216" (5.49m) long and a compact is 192" (4.88m). Parking spots are not designed for vehicles that large at all. So parking them is a constant challenge that most often ends in failure.




  • Inflation is supposed to be a calculation in changes of relative currency value. The way that it is calculated depends on the government and the day.

    Generally they create an index of goods that they track. Changing what goods to track is the easiest way to manipulate the results… and boy do they ever manipulate the shit out of the results. What you choose to put into the index and what you exclude greatly influences the results. Common things that are left out of indexes include rent/mortgage amount, taxes, utilities, medical cost, education cost etc. small things that account for more than 75% of people’s income…

    Pruchasing power calculates how much goods a person’s wage can purchase after all their “basic necessities are out”. . It includes all the costs that the good price indexes leave out.

    A few things to be aware of:

    Seed is the number 1 way that pathogens, insects and weeds are transmitted around the globe.

    Do NOT save seed from unhealthy looking plants. Many viruses, bacteria, and fungi can be transmitted via seed.

    Make sure you know the proper sanitation procedures before sharing seeds. For example all tomatoes seeds need to be extracted via acid extraction to prevent transmission of bacterial canker. Pepper seed need to be treated with a TSP bath to eliminate TMV. All cucurbits need to be treated with a peroxide to eliminate bacterial fruit blotch.

    Be sure you know 100% what you are harvesting is the seed from the plant. Many weed seeds look identical to many common garden varieties.

    Know the basic reproductive biology of the species you want to save. This can help to unintentional outcrossing and mixing of varieties…

    Please save seeds from F1 hybrids. Selection from amanteur seedsavers/breeders have maintained/generated some of the most important traits we have. Feel free to make your own crosses introgressing important resistant genes into landraces.

    Before sharing carefully inspect the seed to ensure you have no unpleasant hitchhikers in the seed. An observational microscope can help with this.


  • I have done it a few times over the years but never on my main driver. Until last month… I bought a new laptop for my business and immediately installed Linux on the entire drive. I never initialized the win 11 that came with it.

    So far I have had a few hiccups with getting some things working. I have also yet to find a basic WYSIWYG editor for my very basic HTML business webpage on Linux. So I am keeping my 6 year old laptop with win10 up and going on my desk for now.







  • Given the labeling, I would not plant it and destroy it with fire.

    International seed law and phytosanitary requirements require specific labeling. This includes a lot, germination, and some others depending on the location. If it was shipped internationally, it also requires a phytosanitary certificate for most species and countries.

    Online seed sellers are constantly violating these rules and spreading all sorts of diseases, weeds and insects.
