Funny how it's never the right time, isn't it? We're too busy with covid! Some guy got shot! There's an election soon! Always with the excuses.

I think what I read was actually about oblivion rather than Skyrim, but I'm not sure if that changes your questions or not. I agree that the Skyrim character did feel like a genetic dragonborn. The guild quests especially made it feel that way. (I'm the head wizard, but also chief fighter dude and captain of the thieves guild... What?)

I guess for the role play aspect I prefer games to more narrowly define the main character and tell the story from there rather than leave it up to me to decide who the character becomes. A Plague Tale is a great example of this type of story telling, but of course it isn't at all comparable to an open world game.

I've heard it's more action and less role playing than Skyrim, which sounds perfect for me. Does that match your experience?

Sorting their account comments by oldest, you see some of that variation I was talking about. There's about ten normal looking comments total, then two weeks ago they suddenly started with these long LLM looking comments, all about relatively serious topics. I don't think it's necessarily an actual bot, but maybe just someone using an LLM to expand or format their comments.

I had doubts, but scrolling through their comment history almost every comment is this length without much variation. Then I saw those were all just in the past eight hours. Seems pretty fishy to me.

Edit: I kept scrolling and wow, the sheer volume of comments this length is astounding. I would normally expect more variation in topics and comment length.

I haven't bought it in years, those may very well be pre covid prices I'm remembering.

I have almost zero knowledge about Syria, historical, political, or otherwise, so please take this as the genuine question it is:

While HTC (I assume this is the current government?) is obviously not perfect, are they not still a clear improvement over Assad? I guess it's possible that the new government would treat people similarly, but just has different "enemies", which would explain why the new government freed people imprisoned by the Assad regime.

Your comment helped me remember that I had a dream hummingbirds were visiting my coral honeysuckle!

I just realized I had a similar misunderstanding about trumpet creeper and crossvine. Turns out both are native, but trumpet creeper just grows way too aggressively. This is a good thing for professional landscapers that can keep up with training and pruning it, but most people would probably do better with a well behaved crossvine.

I wouldn't grow corn personally. The grocery store corn is like four for a dollar when it's in season. Give that space to some different tomato or pepper varieties!

Personally I would cook it and eat it as soon as possible (today), but I wouldn't be willing to serve it to guests.

The key difference between invasive and naturalized (both terms refer to non native species) is the organisms' impact on the local populations. Dandelions popping up here and there not hurting anything? Naturalized. A beetle without its usual predators decimating native trees? Invasive.

A two part reminder to be mindful of which type of honeysuckle you plant: Japanese honeysuckle is very popular, but also considered invasive in some areas and grows very aggressively. But also, not all honeysuckle is Japanese, you may have native varieties available that will work even better.

My local native honeysuckle unfortunately isn't fragrant, but the hummingbirds love it.
