Wild parsnip Cow parsnip Poison parsnip Giant hogweed

The sap from all of these cause terrible blisters when it gets on you and sunlight hits it

Dang. That’s a much better spelling. I was trying to figure out how to type it without it just saying bags.

I’m not talking about plastic household pipes though - I was clarifying that they are more common than copper now on new builds. NA pipes are PEX from what I’ve been able to dig up.

Garden hoses - my main focus in my comments - are still made out of PVC

Christ, that’s a hell of an instance name.

I’m not middle eastern, but plastic pipes are really common in new builds in north america now too. Garden hoses are largely made out of PVC so the same risks apply

How am I being obtuse? Eat citations:

Plastics are bad for us, no matter how you slice it. Even seemingly stable ones carry risk

The garden hoses are made out of PVC, and It leaches into the water passing though it

Now with more pixels

That is a historically accurate description.

Unrelated, but I saw this headline, and could hear both you and squidward swearing from here.

Mine’s a new car, and it’s like this too, at least from the steering wheel.

It’s a pretty tight nit group. we are pretty live-and-let live. Some granola vibes that aren’t for me, but see the previous sentence about letting live. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a hard core environmentalists, but from the science side rather than the more utopian view the instance takes. I suppose that’s part of the solar punk movement though - they’re optimists about the future in the face of destruction. It’s inspiring and refreshing.

We have our own memes channel, some highly technical channels and some more political/anarchist channels (thus the punk).

not nerd enough to see it

You would fit right in on our instance

Oof. I hear you on that front. Not feeling yourself is the worst, especially in your case where you’re spinning the roulette wheel daily on mental health til things get sorted.

I’ve only ever missed a day or two of meds, but I’ve been fatigued, worked into the ground, and had enough other crummy stuff happen to empathize.

Feel better soon

Really sorry to hear that, Pug. I hope your not in too much pain.

That sounds hollow, just reading it, but I’m really hoping whatever you’re going though with the meds is short-lived and they can get back on something that works soon.

Hang in there hommie.

For me, it’s been as my kids get a bit older and somewhat more independent. Less time wiping asses and throwing packs of fruit snacks at them and more time to do things I want. It’s JUST starting for me and my youngest isn’t in kindergarten yet, but I’ve picked reading back up and played guitar the other day? I guess that counts?

Puffins, and pedantry is what ruined Reddit.

Honestly, I like the first few. They were great. Memories of Ice (book 3?) was possibly the best one.

I just find it tried to cover too much and because of this the story is scattershot. I get that this part of his style but still, I don’t give two shits about Nenander Gullet or Clip, yet I have nearly a full book dedicated to them.
