Oh hell, I've read so many YT comments about RoP that your meanings are opaque.

I found I was lumped by the series publicity agents as being equally bad as the damned racists.

A purist.

Is it better for weed seeds to disperse or remain confined, though in high concentration?

It might depend on how much harm they can do from that confined location.

If you're interested in trying out #Linux, and you have very low level tech skills, then trying it out on an old PC desktop or laptop that you're not in any way dependent on is a low stress method.

Trying to replace #Windows with #Linux on your work computer when you've got very low level tech skills and you're trying to beat a deadline is too often not fun.

Keep your eyes out for a disposable computer. And then try running maybe #LinuxMint, #xfce version Live.

I've got a candidate for a big conflict that needs to be won, where winning would produce significant international recognition: #ClimateChange

I'm not sure how leading a global win there would match with what the Japanese feel they need.

@tokyo_0

I understand that there is a lot of emotion around wars and the aftermaths.
If you would share more about what still remains to be resolved I'd like to learn more.

Saw the #FireBombing of cities, a #TerrorIst activity of #TheAllies during #WWII used against #Civilians in cities such as #Dresden and #Tokyo, featuring in the #StudioGhibli movie #HowlsMovingCastle.

I saw nothing in the movie that reference the dropping of the #AtomicBomb on both #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki.

But I can't think of any other movie of the last 40 years that references the mass bombing of multiple cities in wartime.
#TheSimpsons for example goes nowhere near it.
...

2/3 I'm wondering what it is about Japanese culture that has #FolkMemories of #DestructionInWar continuing to be referenced and shared?

These references aren't confine to #HowlsMovingCastle, #Fireflies, another #StudioGhibili film, also features as the basic situation the destruction and famine conditions caused by war.

Are things are different in your locality? Does your geographic community pass on memories of what happened to #CiviliansInWartime?
We just remember veterans here I think.

I used a? open source search engine:

Typed in:
Holocaust survivor Gaza

And got some useful returns.

@tokyo_0

Working just from memory here but I think some already have.

WARNING
The map is interesting.

But the linked site is one of those, "Kill them all and let God decide who is innocent" on a global ecological and human genocide places.

A quote from the article,
"Not solutions that will lead us back to the climate of a few decades ago – costly and pointless – but solutions that work for the world as it will be, when it will be much warmer than it is now."

#MedicalPackaging, specifically the #ChildProofCap / #SafetyCap, has again prevented an #ElderlyRelative from taking their dose of medicine.

My confidence that these things are adequately tested for usability by the frailer aged is low, very low.

More generally, the limit of the efficacy of any drug seems largely determined by the accessibility of #PatientCompliance with the required dosage.

And then there is #PostReleaseCare for #PainControl.
Demand a detailed description before surgery?

@emilygorcenski

The references, beside the name RD and what likely could be named "The Lakehouse", completely escape me.

But the scenario still stands alive.

And the references that the scenario generates flow back though the identifiers Lakehouse, Hereford and Accenture.

I think I just found an AI faked news article.

bnnbreaking.com/world/australia/covid-19-surge-thwarts-christmas-hopes-in-western-australia/

Note the shift of Western Australia to being one of the states of the USA?
And the strange garbled rubbish at the end around being locked out of vaccines?

There may be a real journalist with the name used on the article - I don't know.

I see a lot of folk desperate for Mamma Zuckerbergs to feed them a lot of sweet milk.

But that ain't Mark's path in life.

Settng out to make lemon #Marmalade.

Using the #Recipe below.

Last made marmalade about 4 years ago.
Went well. Used lots of sugar. The bottles lasted years.
I suspect the strength of the sugar solution was the reason.

This "boil the whole fruit" seems like an industrial method.
But that can be good.

#LemonMarmalade
https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/ultimate-seville-orange-marmalade#commentsFeed

Things are smelling good.

The lemons went on a "low simmer" (actually no signs of boiling but very hot) for 16 hours.

(This is what I read some expert did - its much longer than the recipe above.)

And now the fruit has been removed from the fluid to cool before handling/cutting/pithing.)

Photos of where I'm up to below.

Friends don't let friends drive drunk.

Or rush off to depose Saddam Hussein and invade Iraq.

Or invade Gaza when enraged enough to slaughter civilians.

It's a start New Zealand, Australia, Canada.

@inthehands

This is amazing, educative, contextualising, beautiful.

And I'm uncomfortable.
Am I, an outsider, meant to known these boundaries?
Is this how these people want their lands presented?

Feeling I need to ask my locals at least what their preferences are.

Distributor: choose your poison.

Local computer shop?
Here is one on ebay

Though watch for changes in shipping at Checkout.
Amazon would love to oblige, as would aliexpress, temu

This model and mine have a fairly bright purple LED in the phone charging cable. Not nice. A couple of coats of black paint or nail polish should tame that.
Also if on the floor, the end of the cable can find magnetic grit. Brush off with old toothbrush
