Spotted water hemlock

“The confusion with parsnips can be fatal as C. maculata is extremely poisonous. It is considered to be North America’s most toxic native plant.”

“The chief poison is cicutoxin, an unsaturated aliphatic alcohol that is most concentrated in the roots. Upon human consumption, nausea, vomiting, and tremors occur within 30–60 minutes, followed by severe cramps, projectile vomiting, and convulsions.”

It supposedly tastes good though.

Also my co-workers and conservative family love to say it whenever a Republican does something illegal or immoral. It’s a scape goat they throw out when they get backed into a corner and can’t face the fact that they’re wrong.

Buildings: occupies so much land you can see vast gatherings of them from space. (Kills several hundred million birds a year.) Cats: look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power. (Kills over 4 times the birds mostly for fun.

Cats are to tigers as dogs are too wolves. They all would like to roam around freely. We don’t generally want people to let their dogs roam though.

I have a cat and a dog. The dog gets to go out unsupervised for short periods, but he digs so I mostly go outside with him. I take the cat out several times a day and she wishes I’d let her out more. But I don’t want her killing stuff so I make sure she has plenty of toys and entertainment inside too.

That’s what I’m thinking too. Because to say that Putin has something on Trump at this point, is in some ways taking agency away from Trump. But I think Trump and the other Putin lovers are terrible enough people on their own. He doesn’t need to have any dirt on them, they just want to work with him because they think he’s doing well for himself, and they want that kind of power too. It feels like a much simpler explanation.

It makes me think Putin doesn’t actually have anything on Trump and the other Russia loving Republicans. They just really like him and are envious of his authoritarian regime.

I think if your friends are coming to you and asking for help, then you’re in the clear. Part of being a know-it-all/mansplaining, is that nobody asked and they decided they needed to bestow that information onto others.

This makes me wonder how far away a night launch of Starship will be visible.

I don’t know if I turned off notifications, or if they’re off by default in Kbin. But I didn’t see this until now and I just wanted to say thanks.

You obviously should have had your accountant checking your loan status weekly. IMO it’s really your fault 🤷‍♂️.

Source? I haven’t seen anything about this.

Beautiful poem, thanks for sharing. How about one about sprouting seeds?

I work at a wholesale perennial grower, normally just doing plant care. But this week I’ve been running the vacuum seed machine. Every time I take trays out to the greenhouse I get to walk through the millions of seedlings and it’s just had me giddy all week.
