I've got three and I've been trying to grow each from seed:

  1. Dawn Redwood because it has an incredible backstory, it is a true redwood contrary to popular belief, and It easily grows where I'm at.
  2. Giant Sequoia because they are massive, it is also a true redwood, and it can allegedly grow where I'm at.
  3. Cedar of Lebanon because I grew up in one of the many U.S. towns of Lebanon named for the trees as referenced in that religious book and I remember the original Cedar of Lebanon referenced in that story I linked.

Unfortunately, I can't get the Giant Sequoias past a few inches tall while even acknowledging their infamous 20% germination rate. The Cedar of Lebanon seeds I can't even get to germinate but I also haven't found as much academic literature on cultivating them from seeds.

Shoutout to the Ginkgo Biloba for being one of the OG trees, also.

That makes sense. I've long been frustrated by the realization that most American adults have reduced our politics down to a game like some sporting event. To so many it's just my team versus your team above all else with no real rational thought being applied to the candidates or policies being proposed. Sure, a lot of people will give you why their team is the side of good and the other team is the side of evil, but given the greater context, it's always seemed like a post-hoc rationalization. -When politics function that way, it's no surprise that children might poll along the same lines because voters are acting like and using the logic of children.

That is what "genocide" means.

So the same as if any other Democrat won but unlike the other Democrats, at least he would have still tried?

Cellular enabled cars are conceptually dumb. That's a hill I'm willing to die on.

Am I the only one that still gets uncomfortable every time the government tries to regulate advanced technology?

"...profits from the tourism industry are unfairly distributed and increase social inequality. "

It sounds like the real problem isn't the actual tourists.

I can't say there is one. Every time i think to myself something like "goddamn, this person is immature" I remind myself that there's a high number of immature adults in the world including myself, so...?

I can't wait to see how these laws get misused. My local municipality banned camping in various public places, and if I understand correctly the police used that law as justification to falsely arrest campus protesters back in March/April.

I love how he doesn't even bother trying to consistently maintain the facade. It's a *Chef's Kiss
