1·9 months agoSounds like the other commenter got it. I’m commenting because the only time I’ve ever posted about a book o couldn’t remember was “The Dark Lord of Derkholm” also by Diana Wynn Jones! Great book of you haven’t read it. She wrote Howell’s Moving Castle too.

I second this. I have one small cup of strong black coffee in the morning since that’s all I can take, and then I switch to a thermos of hot loose leaf mint tea – probably 4 cups a day or more. It’s just so much more interesting than water, and helps keep things settled

This is probably more up to date than that blog post.
When I was learning I used Heroku free tier to host sites/servers. I was also using the MERN stack and used a Heroku CLI tool to do deployments.
Here’s a step by step guide on freecodecamp.org for how to deploy an app to heroku. Hope it’s helpful!

Thanks! I’m hoping to be around to witness some of them actually coming out of the water, that would be pretty freaking cool
Flip the picture upsidedown and they’re all smiles!
Sprout Lands: Tending the Endless Gift of Trees – William Bryant Logan, link to authors website
Once, farmers knew how to make a living hedge and fed their flocks on tree-branch hay. Rural people knew how to prune hazel to foster abundance: both of edible nuts, and of straight, strong, flexible rods for bridges, walls, and baskets. Townspeople cut their beeches to make charcoal to fuel ironworks. Shipwrights shaped oaks to make hulls. No place could prosper without its inhabitants knowing how to cut their trees so they would sprout again.
I re-read via audio book the whole series from Oct 2021 through Dec 2023. I think you’re spot on here. Wow, very well thought out. Please bring more of your analyses over here!
Haha unfortunately no. We were on our way back to home base after an afternoon river tubing on the Neuse. We wanted to see an overlook, so we went exploring in berks and flip-flops (respectively) and took a rather slow, laborious and very ankle-dangerous hike up to this point, then turned around after hanging out IDing plants for a bit.
It was teeny, maybe 3/4 an inch?
My photos keep previewing with the correct orientation but then posting rotated 90° as well. Don’t know why though
I wonder if that equation would shift (or by how much) if negative externalities like pollution from transportation were factored into pricing at mega grocery stores. There are a number of food co-ops in towns around me that seem to offer local produce at lower prices than “organic” offerings at big grocery stores, which makes me wonder how much is just markup?!
Maybe it’s just not worth the shelf-space and employee time to develop local supply networks…Who knows, maybe eventually we’ll (universal) start to think of over-concentration of food distribution networks as the giant risk that it is and start to price in resilience of supply as well. It will be hard to convince a population – used to endless supply of everything all the time – that food is naturally seasonal, and that there may just not be ripe tomatoes from Mexico in January. It could even make growing crops needed in local food-sheds more economically viable than growing whatever is in the most demand at a national/international level.
Yay! I feel bad when I want tomatoes but the only ones in the store have been schlepped half way across the world. Makes me wonder if we really need tomatoes in winter, and also how it could possibly be cheaper to import tomatoes than grow them locally.
My personal revolution is trying to minimize grocery store trips in favor of participating in a local CSA (community supported agriculture) and cooking from scratch as often as possible.
Not necessarily about herbs, per se, but if you want to try creating as much food from your land, these are good places to start. Ecology is important!
