Amen! An upvote wasn't enough. I have not seen this important point discussed anywhere. Not on podcasts, YouTube et al, protest organizations, blogs, social media, editorials, etc etc. Seems obvious to me, but notably absent from social discourse. Thank you for putting it out there!

    I feel that. Personally, I've decided most times it is best not to read comments responding to anything I post. And if I have questions, I'll just research it myself rather than ask in the comments here. I see all social media as inherently toxic, and while Lemmy is less toxic than most, people still seem to enjoy shitting on others online whenever they can. And you never know if the jerk really is some high school douche or a Russian bot with an agenda or an intelligent adult with poor communication skills or a violently prideful idiot.

    It helps to avoid all sensitive and important posts. There are no jerks in superbowl for example.

    This is the correct database to use. In the US, we haven't invested any official effort into updating our drinking water standards in many decades. So take whatever your municipality or water supplier says about your water quality, with a grain of salt. Maybe a very large bag of salt.

    I was finally able to grow three of these from seed this past spring. I'm very excited. The two survivors are waiting out the heat wave on a windowsill. Any tips for a first timer who doesn't want to kill them? I plan to transplant outdoors a soon as daytime highs drop below 90F.
