Basil is pretty resilient, but I've never had volunteers from the previous year.

My biggest volunteers are usually tomatoes, although last year, my neighbor had pole beans that went wild, got up into a tree, grew up over my beds, and dropped beans all winter, so this spring, while tomatoes are definitely my most pulled weed, now pole beans are in second place.

Also had one volunteer nasturtium that grew exactly where I had one plant last year, so I'm happy to have it there again this year!

For me personally, 4e felt a lot less like, "Here's a set of rules and lore to help you and your friends tell awesome interactive stories!"...

...and much more like, "Here's the rules to a slightly more story and narrative driven, and more complicated, tactical miniatures combat game. Miniatures sold separately."

Sure, you can play 4e without minis, but it really felt like the core of the game was built around the assumption that you had a big table, a DM that was into modeling terrain, and boxes of minis ready to go. Playing 4e without minis felt kinda like trying to make a pizza without cheese. Like sure, I guess you can, but it's clearly intended to be a core ingredient.

She hasn't seen Star Wars?! Ted, the only people in the universe who haven't seen Star Wars are the characters in Star Wars! And that's 'cause they lived them, Ted! They lived the Star Wars!

Laranity on YouTube has some fantastic tips like this on the "things you probably don't know" videos that she occasionally does.

One that lots of people probably already knew but that I learned of within the past year or so is that if you're moving things from your inventory to a stack of that item in your bank (not material storage...if they go there, use the drop down menu to send them), that you don't have to find the item stack in your bank.

Just double click the stack in the inventory side of the bank dialog (not in your actual inventory window), and it'll automatically stack them on top of an existing stack of that item in your bank.

Within the game, you can also access the event timer by typing

/wiki et

Into the chat.

On this note, I like turning on the option that limits the skill placement marker of ground targeted skills to the skill's actual range.

When you're fighting a world boss, significant champion, or any enemy that is an event unto itself (read: has an event with a skull symbol, and is the main target of the event), you can click on its orange health bar in the sidebar to target that enemy.

This can be very useful in chaotic fights with lots of mobs running around, when hitting tab might guess wrong a dozen times before putting you back on the main one, and there's too much visual clutter to get a good targeting click on the mob itself.

Most of the sources I'd found on the subject seemed very cultish ("You have to do everything exactly my way or else you're wrong!"), which was also what I found when I looked into the square foot gardening method.

I find this very off-putting, so I rejected both and simply continued using what has worked for me in my raised beds and so far I've been happy with it.

For me, that means adding some compost to the beds each year after scraping off any mulch from the previous year that hasn't started breaking down into soil. After adding the compost (usually just a bag of black cow and a bag of mushroom compost per 4x4 bed) I turn everything over and break it up well with a spade shovel, smooth it out, plant, and re-mulch.

I'm only doing 4 beds and a few containers, so I use starts instead of seeds. As such, I fertilize each one at planting by adding granular fertilizer, bone meal, and crab & lobster meal to the bottom of the planting hole, stir it in with the dirt, and plant over that.

Drawing is clearly not to scale.

The dwarves woke the balrog by digging two deep, not just one.

Those are among the worst, yes, but even the existence of subs like gonewild can have the effect of repelling potential users, especially those who don't have an understanding of how the site is organized.

They read an article that talks about a sub for content they find objectionable, and from that point on, Reddit is "that site for (insert content they dislike here)".

Much the same, I'm concerned that Lemmy will be known among those users as "that site for communists that support the CCP".

I feel like this one is one where they took an existing shirt and ran the instructions through an OCR program.

Like the goblins of Moria.

I guess that makes spez the balrog...or maybe the cave troll.
