I had a uni lecturer pronounce MySQL as "my squirrel"

 

A somewhat pertinent song given the recent turmoil involving Reddit.

(Off-topic: What a brilliant job Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 did filling the soundtrack's gaps with modern songs that fit the tone perfectly)

We get a lot of dandelions here anyway so they'd probably end up mingling whether intentional or not - Now I did hear a while ago that all the parts of the dandelion are edible, and that the flowers are delicious fried, but I'm a little afraid of eating things from the lawn because the neighbourhood has a lot of roaming cats and they.. use.. my garden frequently, which puts me off nibbling on them.

I was thinking of intentionally growing them in a raised planter though.

 

I've heard they're better for pollinators, are more drought resistant, and are easier to maintain.

It's hard to see a downside.

Has anyone here made the change? How'd it go?

Some really good points I hadn't considered there.

I think it's important that the medical professionals do not use such terminology and instead try to be as neutral as possible, e.g. "coping with" or "receiving treatment for". If a patient wants to say they're fighting cancer, that's up to the patient. For some it might help them feel like they have a bit of control over a situation where they're powerless, for others it might make it worse.

 

New to gardening, spotted the first strawberry today. I've killed so many houseplants over the years, It's a great feeling to actually have something grow.
