Just a rock-licker who loves all things sci-fi, boardgames, and growing my own food, especially heirloom tomatoes.
You’re right, they’re just making a joke, as till also refers to how farmers prepare soil for planting crops.
I love these comics, I always know at least one of the words (and therefore get to feel smart), and learn some new ones with cute illustrations.
Aww what a sweet baby. I’m sure he appreciates the comforting after the vet <3
Yes! We call those her leg warmers too :D
Oooh yum, those look delicious!
Sure does! Another little standard issue cutie
Maybe we need more Christmas songs that are suitable to gloom of Seasonal Effective Disorder.
Yes, 100%. I’d like to see more songs about the dark cold that sucks rather than pretend with “merry and bright.”
Maybe a beef belly cut that’s been smoked and thinly sliced, similarly to regular bacon?
Greg Alder’s Yard Posts is a guy who posts every Friday about growing food in southern California. His climate is pretty similar to mine and his advice was a huge help when I was figuring out the timing for growing a garden. He’s also super knowledgeable when it comes to growing avocados, if that’s your thing.
Somehow, I can tolerate “jpheg” much easier than the forsaken “jif.”
I know right? My first thought was put a heating pad on the windowsill, and the cat will be much more likely to choose that spot.
I’m a geologist, but not the fun kind that gets to look at actual rocks.
I do environmental and some geotechnical work, which pretty much boils down to “Is the dirt poisoned?” and “How hard do I have to squish the dirt to make the future building not fall down?” There’s few things to get excited about, but it’s steady work and pays the bills.
Shaken, not purred.
It’s pretty depressing, but the fact that soil and groundwater are almost certainly contaminated anywhere that humans have touched. I’ve seen all kinds of places from gas stations, to dry cleaners, to mines, to fire stations, to military bases, to schools, to hydroelectric plants, the list could go on, and every last one of them had poison in the ground.
Good point, I’ve edited the description.
