Experts?!? Who does he have in the driver's seat again?

Oh yeah that's right - no one.

There are no adults left in the room folks, it's gonna get messy.

Learn ways to make rice and beans as tasty as possible, this is either gonna be over soon or it's gonna be a very long ride

Rice and beans are tasty! Anything other than salt and maybe some pepper is fucking gourmet.

I'm not trying to say that you're wrong. I'm just saying that there's already enough horrible shit to worry about without underestimating the simple pleasure of rice and beans.

Side note: onions and garlic will grow just about anywhere. Throw some of that shit somewhere in your rice and beans and you've got a fucking party in your mouth.

I've been working on growing onions and they take forever. That garden space would have been better off growing something else

What type of onions? I've only grown green onions, which you can grow indoors in a plastic cup with water and a paper towel at the bottom as long as it's near a window with unobstructed sunlight.

Oh yeah green onions are a different story. They're easy.

I'm growing yellow and red onions, the typical bulbs.

The best way for the birds to gain immunity is to catch bird flu, so RFK is just helping the immunity be gained even faster. Plus, who wants eggs from autistic birds

I saw a headline today that rfk LITERALLY SAID they should just let them all get bird flu and we breed the ones that survive for their immunity

They should let RFK get bird flu.

Are brain worms able to contract it?

thefartographer@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y

The early bird flu catches the worm

There is no biological difference between innate and acquired immunity, right? Right?
