Still better.

Not only that I’m sure they are making close to minimum wage. Raise that and families might make enough to not need to have their children need to work

I love having physical books for most things. It’s just the little things like exact spell wordings around needing to see a target or components. Same with exact languages of class features for edge cases.

I always use my books for prep and when I’m running my character. When DMing it’s nice to have a quick reference

It’s a totally different game to play. But it’s great for players to have all the rules on the official website.

I love being able to find all rules online for quick reference, but Pathfinder has always had this for free. I will still get books because it’s more fun to read and keep.

That’s true but lot of work. Still not worth buying another copy.

(I did this for the digital only content from Dragon’s of Icespire Peak)

The part it made worse is having to purchase things twice. Either physical book or as part of the VTT. I do only book and copy everything in. Worth it for me but you can lose your digital everything

Never baking. That is different from cooking

Cooking is much easier than it looks. Recipes are just suggestions and after looking at enough of them the commonalities to play around with it

I know indigenous food lab is part of midtown global market. So not directly affiliated I think but definitely similar

What a great idea. I live in the twin cities and love swimming in our urban lakes but they get shut down often with Algae and E. coli. Great initiate to swim more. I would love to swim in the Seine.

I always only end up trying 1 or 2 new things (or at least new to me things) each year. I love my classics and only have so much stomach space

I really want to try the Indigenous Food Lab this year. I have a feeling it is going to be long line this year. I will definably do Union Hmong kitchen again as well. Really I think I am going to spend lots of time in the International Bazaar

Tree of Heaven can go to Hell!!!

Cultural shift for sure. What I have found is there have been decades of old hippies working on making things ready for millennials to jump on and convincing their friends to get to this point.

Not all exotics (those not from the Americas) would be considered invasive (those that threaten an area). Most weeds are really good at conditioning the soil and if left to decompose on the locations they grew can be great at building the soil. Pulling anything without putting something to replace it is a fools errand. Also everything that is exotic isn’t bad. White clover is European in origin and a great grass replacement. Also note that some common weeds such as the dandelion are listed as European in origin but there is significant evidence it was all present in North America.

Also make sure you keep some exotics to support the exotic bees such as the honey bee which are from Europe. If you live in an urban or semi-urban environment this is basically a new biome and will need to be treated as such. a Nice mix of things that play well together and are function for you is the best method

My neighborhood is showing a transition into gardens and native plants. Its interesting that it seems to be happening with both older (retired) neighbors and newer (young children) neighbors. Its helps that the local garden centers have been doing lots of natives and grass replacements.

Quick shout out to Prairie Moon to buy your seeds. Fall seeding is great for natives

Our two dogs have been destroying the clover at the same rate of the grass but grows faster back. Just overseed any gap with clover when there are bald or low spots

Agreed. So much easier to overseed clovers, other forbs and grasses. That is what I have been doing in my lawn and its so easy

Never agreed with Barry Goldwater before. But it’s the truth
