Isn't that how Poltergeist 1 started?

Hold up, I'm not gay. I just got sick of reddit assholes and I don't particularly care what you all do with your plumbing in your free time.
I only ever wanted a space where I can freely post humorously (and apparently inappropriate) pictures of Helen Kellers' beloved cat 'Mittens'. The search continues it would seem.
Wow. You got dumb lawmakers, dumb school board members that are arguing over how to make kids dumber. Winning play is home school.
Oh my god! It's the person I was hoping for. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You definitely answered a few questions I had (drying, storing, prep) and you organized it very well for me.
I learned how to handle it without gloves when I was young. It was customary at every camping trip to pick some and put it into someone else's sleeping bag on the sly. Hilarious fun.
And my opinion, wood nettle is way more armed than stinging.
Stinging nettle originated in Europe while wood nettle originated in North America. The stinging variety is a much older breed with a much increased potency. Having said that, I do keep finding tons of wood nettle on my excursions. Stinging nettle remains elusive.
The plan would be to plant in early spring, harvest tops in a few weeks with the remainder going to fertilizer. Rinse and repeat until it gets too hot. Eventually I would have to let one go to seed to replenish stock.
As I said below, I don't care for spinach so I'm betting I find them both to taste like cuck. But it would be nice if the allergies relent.
Tried a daily spoonful honey a few times in my life. Didn't help my allergies either time. I tried it a second time as a digestion aid, but didn't notice much difference either.
It's delicious though. I was told that eating the honeycomb is the best way to go if you want health benefits, but I dislike the texture.
It allegedly has incredible nutritional value with the dioica type argued to be a superfood. Vitamins A, B, C and K. Calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and a lot of other very beneficial nutrients.
I'm told for optimum flavor and benefit, you have to harvest it early in spring when the leaves are still actively growing and well before flowers develop. Additionally, harvesting only the top (4) leaf segments for consumption gives you the 'prime rib' of the plant while leaving the lower portion to survive to flower and reseed itself. Harvesting it young, it will not be stringy from woody growth, and will still contain all of the stored energy for upcoming fruit production. Once cooked, the formic acid in the trichomes (toxin and stinger) is destroyed and it can be consumed. It can replace spinach in just about any recipe. It supposedly has a nutty flavor. I'm not after it for flavor. I dislike spinach.
It also has histamine receptor blocking properties, allegedly providing relief to hay fever. I don't know of anyone personally to ask if it's true, but there are many people promoting them now. Frankly, every year older I get, the worse my allergies get. If it does help, it's worth it to me. If it does nothing, I'm no worse off than I was.
There are even other alleged health benefits as well. Blood pressure, thyroid, liver, prostate effects. None of it I could confirm or deny. I'm just after allergy relief.
Yeah, I hear the root systems have some personality, hence I'm thinking containers. I was told good drainage and high nitrogen soil are key. They'll take full sun to partial shade, though too much shade makes them grow too tall and they usually fall over.
The cucumbers really, REALLY, seemed to like the nettle fertilizer. It was quite impressive. They'd been doing well considering the over abundance of rain we've had, but that stuff really kicked it into gear. I was so impressed with the results that I think I'm going to try the medicinal tea.
If anyone got them in the Pittsburgh area, I'll come out to cut them down for you. I'm heading out again today to forage for seeds. If any kind soul has some extra seeds to part with I'd be grateful. A lot of places are sold out until fall.
A pirate walks into a bar with an enormous pirate ships' steering wheel stuck on his pecker. The bartender looks him over and says "That's got to be uncomfortable". The pirate, struggling to sit down, replies "Yarr. It be drivin me nuts".
Additionally, all of these adult themes need their own filterable genre tags so that they can be included or excluded when you browse by filters.
Iceland erupted again this morning at 7:57am Grindavik Time. The eruption was captured in real time. It again is a northwest linear fissure and is located west of Hagafell and a bit south of the prior eruption site in December.
While the locals had built a huge rock berm to protect some of it's infrastructure, the fissure formed and spread underneath the berm, circumventing its protection. Everyone has been evacuated, though there are reports that despite being told not to bring any previously evacuated animals back to town, some may not have obeyed and now the animals may be locked up and in harms way.
Additionally, a second fissure opened on the north edge of town. You can see this in real time on Professor Shawn Willsey's live update from early this morning. This southern fissure is much smaller but is much closer to town. It has spewed forth enough lava that it has now contacted and destroyed (2) houses along the towns northern edge. It was one of the worst scenarios that could happen. This is likely just the beginning, and could signal the end of Grindavik as it now exists.
The northern fissure has ejected a huge amount of lava but most was deflected and contained by the berm. It has now breached the berm at the highway, which they plugged as best they could early this morning. All things considered, it was quite wise of them to do this. The greenhouse would likely have been destroyed already, and much more lava would now be heading towards Grindavik, which is downhill from both eruption sites.

This is a very serious and dire situation. Whatever god you acknowledge, pray for the town of Grindavik to be spared. My heart goes out to the brave people of Grindavik.

I own 'Fear & Hunger', the game pictured atop the article. I play it. I enjoy it. I have nothing to give but accolades for this game. The author was brilliant in the game design and story. Their target audience is a mature adult. The video game plays as a turn based top down survival horror rpg. It's a very minimalistic game in it's world, though it has a lot of unique gameplay programming that elevates it's style above others. The story though.... Wow.
You are simply going to the bottom of the dungeon to kill someone and then leave. That's it. However, It does have very adult oriented... things... peppered into the game. The setting is pretty dreadful, and as you proceed it only gets worse. Eventually, when you think it's hit rock bottom, it finds a brand new shovel. It hits pretty hard too.
If you are an adult that can handle adult and survival horror themes, it's well worth a play and you should buy it immediately. It's a lot of fun, though get you feet set. The game will shock you out of your comfy place, and it will do so multiple times. Not my favorite horror game, but probably in my top 5. Brilliant and violent, both to the extreme.
