Considering they failed at that too not much.

Having a hundred thousand protesters suddenly show up and block the parade would be incredible. Trump would either be forced to stop his birthday parade and look weak or try to retaliate against peaceful protestors on a widely televised event.

Day 1: create 264 gallons of water (probably enough for a month)

Day 2: create a cubic meter of food (also probably enough for a month)

Day 3 to next rationing: spend thinking of all the awesome things I could create but end up getting overwhelmed and doing nothing instead

 

If robots end up becoming sentient and are not biological they won't have evolved like we have being vulnerable to bacteria, diseases and poisons/toxins and because of it our sense of smell detects bad odors, we wash our hands, take showers and have a strong aversion to things that disgust us.

Robots may just happily pick up shit, dive in dumpsters and roll around in sewage. And why wash your hands or take a shower when water could hurt you? Who even knows if they would perceive smell the same way we do.

We wanted chickens so badly this year but with H5N1 spreading and owning 3 cats (which seem to have a high death rate from H5N1) I'm still not sure if it's a great idea. If anyone can convince me though I would still happily get chickens.

Wife got me the tuxedo cat set. We have an all black cat and I'm really considering ordering the white pieces in black if it doesn't cost too much.

Do they have to have poop in them or does it spawn some inside them? That's necessary information.

Assuming I don't immediately die (honestly would hope I did in that situation) I am very stubborn and would probably persist.

I have been into programming and electronics for almost my whole life (assuming I had any way to power them), love cooking, ferment and can foods all the time and have a good sized garden and a big grow tent with mushrooms in it. I also have several fish tanks with plants so I'm sure I could rig up some aquaponics system. And my wife is a nurse so I'm always learning a lot from her. Even built a backyard mini forge and kiln once because I was bored.

Just don't make me kill any animals and I think I'll be ok (unless the animals were injured and needed to be put down or in self defense). If someone else did all the hunting I'd happily do the butchering, though.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to tell when a tool script is rebuilt in Godot mono 4.4. When the build project button is pressed the ONLY notification that the node receives is NotificationWMFocusOut and NotificationWMFocusIn so _EnterTree/_ExitTree and _Ready are useless and never called.

My node has several RIDs that are sent to the RenderingServer and PhysicsServer3D but when the project is rebuilt there seems to be NO indication that it is being rebuilt so the node loses reference to all the RIDs (preventing me from freeing them) so they are still visible as ghost objects in the editor that don't go away until I reload project.

Has anyone figured out how to do this properly? I'm totally at a loss...

I think they meant the immortality where you can live as long as you want to, not the kind where you can't die. I don't think anyone wants that...

Did they have a fountain or pond in the courtyard? We have an above ground pool and are one of the few neighbors with fireflies in our yard. We also have a lot of native flowers though so maybe that helps

The top of the dirt looks dry but they have better soil underneath that retains moisture better (I even check an inch down occasionally and it is still wet). Our dirt does not drain very well and acts almost like a barrier underneath so the roots stay wet for several days.

I've been having trouble with several of my plants the last couple of years. I've planted almost 4 blueberry bushes, grapevine and some winterberries that do well for several months then seem to start growing very slow and doing poorly.

Our soil is more of a silty soil that doesn't drain well so I did fill the holes in with good potting soil with compost and covered with a thin layer of the silty soil and try to water about once a week. The last year I had 3 blueberry bushes that I planted early spring that put out some new growth and then started to grow very slow and later died In early fall and didn't come back the next year. I've tried to fertilize and add gardening Sulphur to them to help acidity the soil but no matter what I do everything slowly starts to die. I've noticed this year the leaves on the grapevines and blueberries appears to have chlorosis and the winterberries' leaves are turning brown and curling up. It's still ~90 degrees out so I doubt anything should be going dormant yet (I live in zone 5b). I even tried to buy special blueberry fertilizer to make sure I wasn't missing anything important but I'm still having issues.

Here is the blueberry bush:

The raspberries:

And one of the winterberry bushes:

Does this look like iron defiency or potentially some other sort of issue? At this point I'm considering getting my soil tested but if anyone has any advice let me know.
