How else will my generator power my house?

And your house, and your house

Pretty easy if you get a type appropriate to your climate. They take a bit of work in the sense of pruning and training. It isn’t difficult, but it needs to be done correctly to get the plant to fruit.

If you like gardening than it is fun.

I was very surprised when eating it. Like you, I’ve read articles about wine grapes and I was expecting it to be bad.

I’ve taken cuttings off this vine, so maybe at some point I can get enough to make wine. Maybe the wine will be incredibly poor flavour.

I disagree. I’ve got a Sauvignon Blanc vine that makes the tastiest grapes I’ve ever had. Sure, they are small and full of seeds, but they are way above table grapes for flavour

Smaller, but tastier

Who do you think the Romans continually conquered?

Believe it or not, straight to jail

Yes it certainly morphs after Constantine makes it the state religion, rather than a cult.

I am reading a book on the Baltic Crusades and it was talking about the diametrically opposed ideas of state violence and a pacifist religion. Essentially, pacifism doesn’t work as a state policy. The Christian church struggled to decide what violence the state should be able to commit.

Augustine, thought war could be justified in certain circumstances, one of which was if the following peace created more good than the evil if the war wasn’t fought.

Nowadays, I don’t think people even know that Christianity was/is a pacifist movement.

So if I get scurvy…

Profits for me, redundancy for thee

I deworm my dog every few years. Yet I’ve never dewormed my self. To the pharmacy!

Makes sense. If the rule is some one needs to want the effect of one of those curses. I think wanting to torture someone is quite beyond wanting to just kill them.

I was going to recommend this as well. Or going the apprentice -> journeyman route.

Obviously medieval artists were always depicting Pallas cats rather than domestic cats

Ahh, the RCAF

Saw this when travelling in Greece for the first time. As a pedestrian I thought it was a funny cultural quirk. I’ve never come across it on Canada’s W. Coast.

See, I keep trying to tell the wife that, but she’s all “how gonna eat in the woods?” Apparently squirrels was the wrong answer.

While dumb expensive the Aeron chair makes sitting at a desk all day do able and not painful.

Only after instituting a robust death tax

If Gen Alpha would just be happy with water they could own a home!
