Rut Roh. I could have sworn that Ghost peppers and chocolate Ghost peppers were of similar heat when I planted the Chocolate one this year (had a second year Ghost Peer plant to go with it. The Chocolate Ghost pepper is growing pods like crazy so I thought I would re read up on them

The chocolate ghost pepper, also known as the Bhut Jolokia, has a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating of 800,000–2,000,000, which is considered extreme heat. This is hotter than the average ghost pepper, which has a rating of around 1 million SHU. The chocolate ghost pepper's heat builds up over several minutes and can create a powerful endorphin rush.
The chocolate ghost pepper is a natural variant of the red Bhut Jolokia that originated in Northeastern India. It has a wrinkly, pointy shape and a brown hue, and its flavor is slightly sweeter with a hint of smoky.

is it just that I'm getting old or is it the MAGA fake patriotism getting to me but I have zero urge to go watch fireworks or set any off?

When I had all my non profit trucks, boats and rigs wrapped in the patriotic flag motif I got Karens running up to the doors and screaming because of that shit, pretty ignorant to confuse patriotism with politics

 

[DaveW]

I'm confused?
Which flag is the patriotic one over there these days?
Seems to be interchangable in the perspective from this side of the pond.

I'm not patriotic, and I am not religious. We exist in one world. Countries and borders are not good things.

White-Collar Work Is Just Meetings Now

The meeting-industrial complex has grown to the point that communications has eclipsed creativity as the central skill of modern work.

Many of you all should feel attacked, I gather

I have been openly rebelling against the meeting culture at work. I feel like I have made some minor change for the good.

Ha! The mandate to replace as many meetings as possible with emails or chats is supposedly part of my company's ethos. Too bad managers seem to be excluded from adhering to said ethos.

The managers at work are too busy scheduling meetings with their manager to schedule meetings with their employees, so I am trying to break my peers of the habit.

This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million Kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the Kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

A couple of houses in the hood have had their yards scraped and (hydro)seeded within the past year. Said lawns are now browned out and growing weeds while my luscious, crab grass lawn looks fantastic.

The internet is stupid, sometimes. Not always, but sometimes.

On some sites you could get around it by editing the autocorrects word in the URL.
Doesn't seem to work very often these days though.
I can't find items on Gumtree because of this, it autocorrects to dumb shit so I have to use different search terms/words.
