NewLincoln··on Hello, me. It's been a while
This hits home for me. If I have spare time without other peopled my headphones are in. If I'm walking the dog, doing the dishes, mowing my tiny lawn, driving home after dropping kids off I have a podcast or audiobook in my ears.

I read an interview from a musician I'm a fan of where they were responding to "what do you listen to when you are driving?" and they responded along the lines of "I like to listen to the engine and my thoughts". I winced a bit thinking how little time I allow my brain to just do its thing.

NewLincoln··on FDA Admitted in Print That Nothing It Knows of Will Wash Cyclospora Off Lettuce
We took our garden more seriously this year and we are totally overwhelmed with tomatoes and cucumbers. I planted potatoes for the first time this year and they are ready to go. Had a huge pea harvest earlier in the summer. Unfortunately it's been too hot for our lettuce.

It's been fun planning meals around what we have (supplementing what we need from the store obviously)

NewLincoln··on South Korean president declares martial law, parliament votes to lift it
If we're just blindly speculating, why limit it to a tiny window of worst case outcomes. Political stunt? Strong message being sent to NK based on some intel that isn't public?

Obviously none of us know the details yet but there are clearly better possible outcomes than a full on coup.
