@benroyce @nomdeb @Doug_Bostrom @dcatoffm Or they'd rather clutch their pearls and moan than engage with the reality that politics is messy, complicated, and rarely offers black and white choices.
@BruceMirken @benroyce @Doug_Bostrom @dcatoffm It still makes me spit and hiss - when they voted in Biden - BUT - democrats did not have a clear majority and so Republicans were able to obstruct and then voters whined about nothing changing. YOU DIDN'T FUCKING VOTE IN ENOUGH PEOPLE SO THEY COULD MAKE CHANGE. Or the idea that things can change in an instant in an economy as complex and huge as ours - or that world affairs are not vastly more complex than single issues. So unsophisticated.
To steal a phrase from Winston Churchill, tomorrow's election is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, hopefully, the end of the beginning.

@amadeus Do you know if you can set the window borders to be chamfered instead of rounded?
@ftranschel Not to the best of my knowledge, no.

@ai6yr that's good to hear. Now that they're replanted this is me
@robertcadena Ha! When it gets larger, the trick (believe it or not) is to drop some "Florel Fruit Eliminator" in the crown, which stimulates it forming a fruit. (Florel contains a hormone used to prevent fruiting in crabapples/etc. but which stimulates the development of pineapples). I do find they have to get to about 2 feet or 3 feet wide to be able to support fruiting.... I usually have them in 15 gallon pots at that point.

Well just know that the professionalism with which you are handling this situation has shown your good character to people like me, who have not heard of your work before. It made me want to go check out your site and articles now.
People telling you to 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴, stop b00tlicking, stop celebrity-worshipping, stop simping for people who want to use your bones as fuel, LOVE YOU.
Okay, you don't like the tone, you take offence, you think they are "getting left behind" or "causing trouble", you think they don't understand the future. Okay.

@cwebber I think you misspelled thespians?

Goodreads removed RSS and some people are asking for alternatives on Reddit; maybe worth pointing to BookWyrm and NeoDB?
Goodreads removed RSS and some people are asking for... #fediverse #goodreads #bookwyrm #neodb #rssfeeds
Both fediverse softwares that support user reviews for books, both have RSS support natively (no Piefed/Misskey bridge needed), and some comments also seem discontent with Amazon's mismanagement overall.

Consulting with the local Jets mafia and my son here in Vancouver, as well as my brother in law in Winnipeg we've concluded our candidate for next coach of the Winnipeg Jets should be Bruce Cassidy.
