Who owns the White House right now?

Im guessing based on what I know about Minnesota this was introduced by a wannabe who wants daddy Trump's attention and has no shot in hell of passing.

We'll see if they do.

Its called fraud.

It really is that simple. Treat it like the covid days. Do not go for your own safety unless it is absolutely required.

To everyone outside that shithole of a country: for the love of fuck stop visiting the US unless you have a reason. Its clear border security can do whatever the fuck they want with impunity. It isnt worth the risk. Let the country rot and leave them.

It would tear the US apart internally is what I mean.

Imagine having millions of insurgents directly on your border that blend in perfectly with your own people. Now imagine they are angry and willing to cause as much carnage as possible. Think the Troubles on steroids.

Now imagine a population of people who didnt want this war in the first place fearing they may be killed at any moment because Orange man, who they didnt vote for, said to invade your peaceful neighbor.

How will that end? It would rip the US apart. Not on day one, but with time.

So yes, it would destroy Canada. But it would destroy the US too.

A conventional war with the US would be mutually assured destruction at this point, interestingly. I dont think the US could hold together fighting the most unpopular war in history with neighbours whose biggest cities are mere miles from your own.

Do we really need Chinese EVs though? Both Kia and Hyundai, for example, make good EVs at a good price. Im not sure I would trust a Chinese made EV. Maybe thats a bias but do they meet Canadian standards?

Not sure Im ready for one of these 'internal combustion' cars I keep hearing about. Until they can sort out the risk of the flammable liquids you have to put in them from catching fire it seems too dangerous and impractical.

 

I have not tried this yet but I am...intrigued.

 

Ground ivy can be found in many countries around the world and grows aggressively. It is often viewed as a highly invasive weed in lawns and gardens. It is notoriously hard to remove and control.

The good news? It tastes like mint (sort of). Ground ivy makes a good mint substitute and can also be used as an herb in cooking. Makes sense since it is part of the Lamiacae family which includes well known herbs such as basil, mint, oregano, and thyme.

Being an abundant and easily identifiable weed with few lookalikes, its an easy plant for beginners to cultivate. It is best to pick the smaller leaves as the larger ones can be bitter.

Note: A bit like cilantro, the taste is a bit polarizing. Some people love it, others find it unpalatable.

 

After trying (and failing) to rescue an overwatered Echeveria plant from the supermarket, I sort of got addicted to succulents and went out and bought this one. I have no idea what Im doing but Im hoping starting with a healthy one will be a better introduction.

Thrilled to have y'all here but this is a very niche topic. How did you find this place?

 

I wanted to share a few useful resources for those out there who are interested in finding edible weeds but don't know where to start.

Picture This App, and app that uses AI to identify plants taking a simple picture. I have found this app to be quite accurate but remember to always check and see if there are look-alikes out there which may not be edible.

Eat the Weeds, blog style website with a huge number of entries on edible weeds. A very useful resource to start finding edible weeds you might encounter.

Wild Edible, another great blog style source outlining several wild edible plants. Importantly, entries often have a look-alike section which can help you determine if youre looking at the right plant.

If you have any other trusted resources, share them here!
