Disdain.
That IS a British connector though, isn’t it? That’s not North American.
Stupid cavemen. It makes way more sense the other way around. Just no ducks given about safety.
I’ve been wondering a lot about absurdism in humour. There are people who laugh when they see something disastrous happen, like a man reflexively trying to stop a cement truck from tipping and getting squashed dead. Or a recent news story of the only fatality in a school bus crash: it was an observer who got hit by a vehicle as he ran across the highway to see if the kids were ok. A lot of the time this laughing response to a disaster is interpreted as schadenfreude, but a good portion of the time I believe it’s absurdism.
We try so hard to have agency, to do something, but the World doesn’t give a fuck. You have two choices when shit goes so wrong: you can wail about the unfairness of it all, or you can laugh at the absurdity of our efforts in the face of the colossal chaos of it all. The laughter is stronger.

Birds are reptiles.
I mean, we’re kind of known for war crimes too. Was anyone in WW1 worse than the Canadians?
“thought I was buying local” … Are you living in Colombia or Ethiopia or something? They probably are a local company, and may roast the coffee themselves, but the beans have to come front somewhere.

Oh, this is something I love doing IRL. Love getting in there and pruning and shaping until things have been restored. I love being the chance to rejuvenate a neglected apple tree over the course of a few years.
Vain fucking humans. How about it’s wrong to destroy Creation?
“Hurr durr raping Nature makes you ugly.”
… I’m feeling pretty cynical RN.
I thought you were in Sechelt, BC!
… though the “ranch” doesn’t make much sense there.
It looks like it got punished by lack of water. Keep it well watered and see what comes back. You really can’t leave a potted tree unwatered for more than a few days. In hot weather you pretty well need to water them daily.
I’m not sure about the white fungus. There’s a chance that your trees root system or vascular system has been destroyed by a fungus, but they don’t usually present like this. Given what you said about not watering it I think that’s the most likely problem.
I mean, Mademoiselle Cochonne would be her own special kind of lady.
Yes. I noticed a decently reputable (but mega corp) bag of whole espresso beans… 50% robusta. I was surprised.
Everyone is right into burnt coffee for some reason too. I hear a lot of people talking about dark roasts and how they like “strong coffee”.
It’s impossible to remove.
