A yard is 3 feet, so a cubic yard is 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet = 27 cubic feet

Not only that, but they are the same species (different cultivars): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea

Also, obligatory xkcd: https://m.xkcd.com/2827/

Did you also know there’s no talking crab in the original story by Hans Christian Andersen? Since we’re being faithful to the original.

Moon landing

It’s a cool idea, but has not worked well in practice. The plant referenced in the 2016 article you linked (Crescent Dunes) stopped operation in 2019 due to performance and cost issues. It appears to have restarted after the original owner filed for bankruptcy and sold the asset, but at a lower capacity.

I thought the original post was satire - list all of the privacy issues, then throw in “Privacy <3” at the end. Seriously, almost every one of those points has a potential privacy issue.

Guess I was being too generous.

Ale 8 One

Somewhere between ginger ale and Mountain Dew, and caffeinated.

I love fresh artichokes - I can’t find good ones here in grocery stores. I tried growing a one-year cultivar once - it did produce a couple of small buds, but wasn’t worth the trouble.

Looking good! Do I see artichokes?

In case it helps for the future, I also think you came off defensive from the first reply. If everyone but you seems like an asshole, you may want to look at how you’re acting.

You usually seem pretty positive on here - if you’re having a crappy day, I hope things feel better after a night’s sleep.

Good to know - I’m trying this for the first time this year.

Any luck with growing second generation seeds from the plants you grew?

I was finally able to keep the vibe borers from killing my zucchini last year. Maybe I just got lucky, but this combo worked for me:

1. Manual picking of eggs - I usually do this daily.
2. Cover bottom of vines with aluminum foil.
3. Spray with Bt. Follow package instructions, usually spray once or twice per week, depending on if it rained heavily.

How do you transfer the food from the cutting board to the measuring cup?

You keep saying that, but it’s not an extra step. Weighing the food is in place of the volume measurement, not in addition.

Using volume measurement: start cutting broccoli. Add to a measuring cup until you get the right amount.

Using weight measurement: cut broccoli. Add to scale until you have the right amount (actually I would usually weigh out a single large piece, then chop it all at once - same amount of effort).

Or you place your bowl etc. on the scale and tare after each addition. Doesn’t work in all situations (e.g. pan on the stove) but is great for baking.

If your cup measurements are not the same you need new measuring cups.

In the US, sticks of butter have tablespoon measurements printed on the label, like this: https://www.errenskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/butter-sticks.jpg

Most people leave the sticks of butter in the fridge with the wrappers on. If you want X tablespoons of butter, you cut through the wrapper and butter at the right mark.

I’m not saying it’s an ideal system (I also prefer recipes that use weights) but it works.

House of Leaves vibes

Just a small note: the pressures in this chart are absolute, not gauge. In everyday usage (like talking about tire pressure) we mean gauge pressure - that is, the difference in pressure from atmospheric pressure.

Your overall point is well taken (the change in temperature doesn’t matter much), but the numbers will be slightly different. For example, a tire filled to 100 psig (gauge) will reach 106.496 psig at 100 deg F, versus 105.663 in the original chart (assuming 14.7 psia atmospheric pressure).
