Fresh produce is completely raw, frozen is typically parboiled (very slightly cooked), and canned is completely cooked. Frozen is typically the best balance between freshness and convenience. The only veggies I buy fresh are things I'm going to eat raw, like broccoli for eating with dips.

The applications of this type of product wouldn't care about any of that. If anything the improved macro nutrients (decreased calories and saturated fat) would be seen as an improvement. If this is truly a 1:1 replacement like the article is suggesting, it could be huge.

A source for your newfound fun fact.

Just be extra diligent in verifying the contents of any seed mix. Some of those mixes are full of invasive species.

The "14 years" part of the headline is particularly annoying. This thing that happens several times a year will happen the second time this month next week! It's like a headline about getting three paychecks in a month and how it won't happen again for six months. Technically true, but it's still a regular paycheck.

What has been your actual pay rate? $15-20/hr as an independent contractor is more like $10-14/hr after taxes. Are you concerned about the year end tax implications?

I read your name as Coffee Jerky and honestly I would absolutely try that.

Are you not planning on getting older? Time marches on.

I personally like the early access model. You get the choice to play the game now, as-is, or wait for the developers to call it finished. Last Epoch is a great example. In its current state, it is absolutely not finished. It still gave me hundreds of hours of entertainment, though, and I expect I'll get hundreds more when I revisit it again when it's officially launched.

Quitting to desktop in elden ring is as simple as Esc, up, E, Z, left, E, E. Super simple!

I strongly recommend Bully Tools for shovels and other garden tools. I bought the most heavy duty shovel home depot had on the shelf and broke it two hours into my project. The bully tools shovel handled the same work no problem. I have two shovels, a rake, and a hoe from them.

 

Plumbago is extremely popular as a landscape plant in my area (central Texas). It is drought tolerant and has light blue blooms pretty much all year. It tolerates light shade and generally doesn't have many issues with disease or pests.

My problem with it is that it is not native to my area. It's not even native to the same continent! As a lesser complaint, it's planted so frequently that I'd rather have something different.

As an example, one great alternative would be Texas turks cap. I already have quite a bit of that, though, so I'm looking for other options.

Any suggestions?
