Reminds me of the Fish Peppers I've grown the past 3 years! But definitely less hot/more versatile!

Feels super bad, but if you still want to play, the upside spin is that you can frame it to yourself as the patch letting you out of the "Necro Jail" you created for yourself and try lots of wildly different options now.

I mean I totally get the disinterest too, but basically that's what happened for me when they ground Chrono into dust after years of being the only real source for alac and quick.

43 from vlemmy.net as well!

Very much so.

Any other DnD communities out there at the moment that aren't hamstrung by similar rules?

Asking for a friend.

Ugh, I'm so sorry you had to experience that horrific playoff series.

I can't really say much, but I did love reading that link about playing a fairy, so more of that sort of thing would be awesome.

On the other side, I'm not at all interested in DnD Beyond, so having that content tagged makes it easier to filter out.

Overall, this is one of the more active subs I'm subscribed to, so I think you must be doing something right!

Is there a good Android app for Kbin?

I feel like the main step he's forgetting is that he wanted to install an interim CEO to make these unpopular changes so they didn't happen directly at his direction, so that the dust up can be laid at someone else's feet...after which he can swoop back in, replace them with himself again, not reverse the changes, and avoid the blame.

Not that she was great, but I do kinda feel bad for the way Ellen Pao got dicked over by Huffman and hated by the community.

It's the classic catch-22 of internet communities, though: as a community grows, there's a gradual trade of quality of the average individual post in exchange for a higher population and the increased overall activity that it brings.

The former attracts the latter and the latter provides the critical mass of buzz and activity that tends to foster longevity.

Basil is pretty resilient, but I've never had volunteers from the previous year.

My biggest volunteers are usually tomatoes, although last year, my neighbor had pole beans that went wild, got up into a tree, grew up over my beds, and dropped beans all winter, so this spring, while tomatoes are definitely my most pulled weed, now pole beans are in second place.

Also had one volunteer nasturtium that grew exactly where I had one plant last year, so I'm happy to have it there again this year!

Most of the sources I'd found on the subject seemed very cultish ("You have to do everything exactly my way or else you're wrong!"), which was also what I found when I looked into the square foot gardening method.

I find this very off-putting, so I rejected both and simply continued using what has worked for me in my raised beds and so far I've been happy with it.

For me, that means adding some compost to the beds each year after scraping off any mulch from the previous year that hasn't started breaking down into soil. After adding the compost (usually just a bag of black cow and a bag of mushroom compost per 4x4 bed) I turn everything over and break it up well with a spade shovel, smooth it out, plant, and re-mulch.

I'm only doing 4 beds and a few containers, so I use starts instead of seeds. As such, I fertilize each one at planting by adding granular fertilizer, bone meal, and crab & lobster meal to the bottom of the planting hole, stir it in with the dirt, and plant over that.
