The being cooperative thing is the key.
Id be willing to bet my left testicle those that survive an apocalypse are those who work together to grow food, build shelter, etc. and not the goobers who lock themselves in a crate with some beans.

Yeah having lived in both countries, until recently the US was miles ahead in admitting its wrongs on Indigenous people. Things are starting to change here but I was amazed when I first moved to Canada how few knew the history.

Yeah Im with others on this. We were taught this and all the gory details. Same with slavery. We were not sheltered from the reality of any of it.
Just to give you some clarity, in 9th grade our teacher told us a historical account in which a slaveowner punished his slave by literally shitting in his mouth and sewing it shut.
We were made to understand the brutality of slavery.

This is for same sex couples which for a large variety of societal reasons likely wont reflect the dating scene among the average population, which skews heavily hetero.

This Land is Your Land is also not the patriotic song people think it is. At least, not in the way people think it is.

I bought a simple spin bike thirdhand. Guy who owned it before me got it from a gym. You twist a knob and it increases pressure on a leather brake. Its built like a tank.
Its great and like you say, if I wanted I could just look up spin videos on youtube for free.
Why would I bother with a Peloton?

I havent seen the Huffington Post website in years. Clicked on this to see the video. About 20 seconds of the video, 30 seconds of ads, another 20 second clip. More ads.
At least the article isnt paywalled. Ill give them that.

Canada. Not as many as in the US but the Canadian flag is flown in many households.

Atlantic Canada. I don't mean like cling wrap stretchy. It just isn't like the crinkly kind of plastic. It has some give if you try to stretch it.

It seems to stay more crinkly even after normalizing.

That's how presliced bread comes in Canada. I'm talking the sandwich loaf stuff. Not nice handmade bread.

It dries it out a little but it's fine for sandwiches.
So every time we get bread it comes in a stretchy bag. However, once we pull it out of the freezer later the bag is noticeably more crinkly and brittle. Anyone know why this is? I can't seem to find an answer to this phenomenon anywhere.
Hi all. When I bought my house I also inherited several plastic raised beds. The previous owner told me to mound up the dirt every winter so the soil wouldnt expand and crack them. I was wondering if this is actually necessary or just something they thought they needed to do. I have never heard of this before but then again, Ive always only had wooden ones before. Im trying not to till the soil too much so Id like to avoid mounding it if I can. Does anyone here have plastic raised beds? Do you mound the soil or leave it as is?

Not sure Im ready for one of these 'internal combustion' cars I keep hearing about. Until they can sort out the risk of the flammable liquids you have to put in them from catching fire it seems too dangerous and impractical.

I have not tried this yet but I am...intrigued.
Ground ivy can be found in many countries around the world and grows aggressively. It is often viewed as a highly invasive weed in lawns and gardens. It is notoriously hard to remove and control. The good news? It tastes like mint (sort of). Ground ivy makes a good mint substitute and can also be used as an herb in cooking. Makes sense since it is part of the Lamiacae family which includes well known herbs such as basil, mint, oregano, and thyme. Being an abundant and easily identifiable weed with few lookalikes, its an easy plant for beginners to cultivate. It is best to pick the smaller leaves as the larger ones can be bitter.  Note: A bit like cilantro, the taste is a bit polarizing. Some people love it, others find it unpalatable.
After trying (and failing) to rescue an overwatered Echeveria plant from the supermarket, I sort of got addicted to succulents and went out and bought this one. I have no idea what Im doing but Im hoping starting with a healthy one will be a better introduction.
Thrilled to have y'all here but this is a very niche topic. How did you find this place?
I wanted to share a few useful resources for those out there who are interested in finding edible weeds but don't know where to start. [Picture This App](https://www.picturethisai.com/), and app that uses AI to identify plants taking a simple picture. I have found this app to be quite accurate but remember to **always** check and see if there are look-alikes out there which may not be edible. [Eat the Weeds](https://www.eattheweeds.com/), blog style website with a huge number of entries on edible weeds. A very useful resource to start finding edible weeds you might encounter. [Wild Edible](https://www.wildedible.com/), another great blog style source outlining several wild edible plants. Importantly, entries often have a look-alike section which can help you determine if youre looking at the right plant. If you have any other trusted resources, share them here!
Hi all. I have quite a lot of hairy bittercress in my garden. I think it rode in on the compost I got this year. Ive been removing it from directly around my pea plants but in the open spaces of the garden where its really taken off, Ive surrendered and let it be. My question is this: Should I be removing it or should I leave it as a kind of live mulch. It doesnt appear to be hindering my peas or other plants in that bed but if it will do long term damage to the soil Id rather take care of it now. Anyone have any experience with it. Is it worth the effort of removing or do I just let it be? Thanks!
