I havent had great potato luck at the new house. So fingers crossed. I also planted some kipflers, red cream, and spud lites which hopefully are all shooting when i get back. Given potato shortage (i also had poor luck shooting over winter when they usually do) might be good thing

Planted purple potatoes i discovered at the markets. No idea the variety. But dark vibrant violet skin and flesh. A large fingerling potato. Was so delicious i put some aside to go to seed and they all sprouted so i planted em in a grow bag and they have shooted nicely.

Great to see the data supported what many expected to be the case. Tolerance builds best young.

Look at Kurt the Vampire Kitty! 😍🧛

Kurt needs a patient home willing to meet him where he's at... so he can live his best life in a home instead of a shelter. Where are the grey cat lovers in Missouri & Illinois? #StLouis

Open Door Animal Sanctuary @opendooranimals.bsky.social · 5d

People expect cats to perform like they're on America’s Got Talent—but I’m just Kurt: a cute, curious cat with little fangs and a big heart. After 6 years in the shelter, I’ve learned to love people. I just need someone patient enough to love me back. 💛 #AdoptDontShop

Little one has been running around the house carrying her favourite toy trilling looking for her dad after trilling to ask where i was. Worried how she is gonna go with us gone for several weeks. She is such a little clingy girl at times

And whats the current resale % of these vehicle types at 100,000km? And average battery cycles for the same? Does a PHEV do more cycles or less? Theres a lot of factors at play as to why people choose hybrid or PHEV over BEV and thats something important to understand and target with BEV ads

Dr M @ivalaine.bsky.social · 1d

Is this assuming you have your own solar to charge your BEV? Ie is the equation different for renters vs owners?

Cancel SPOTIFY.

They are running ICE ads.

F them.

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts

The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms — not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

Yes but they do that because its a snowball effect. The more grants you win, the better your TR and the more chance you can win enough grants to support your team and keep them employed. When they are to be considered greedy in my opinion, is when they dont include the juniors on the grants

Dr M @ivalaine.bsky.social · 1d

100% agreed. So many in waiting rooms have resp viruses. Air purifiers should be standard. Masks at the desk and asking when you checking if you have symptoms and handing you a mask if they say yes. Urgent care was doing this and it was excellent practice. No air purifier tho

It wasnt a prosperity church.

All religions create “rules” to suit their agenda and control people.

One does not need to be in a church to love ones neighbour.

I have no need of religion.
