Mint is absolutely killing it
  • If you're going to plant it, plant it in a pot first, then bury the pot up to the lip. It will stay mostly contained and you won't see the pot unless you're right on top of it. Mint reproduces through runners as well as by seeds and the runners are so much harder to control. If you bury the entire pot, it makes it easier for the runners to escape, which is why you want that little bit of lip above ground.

  • I thought I was alone
  • You're remembering correctly. That's how the first character dies in Dreamcatcher. Stephen King was recovering from a car accident and was on oxy when he wrote the book if that helps explain anything.

  • Antivax quacks are continuing to make up fantastical biological mechanisms for COVID-19 vaccine “shedding”
  • They're terrified of the mRNA vaccine. Because they're incurious about science, they think it's brand new, like invented just for this virus. Try telling them that the delivery mechanism has been around for awhile and scientists have been working on this vaccine since SARS and all they do is cover their ears and hum louder.

  • Michigan Jails banned visits in “quid pro quo” with prison phone companies, lawsuits say
  • In the US, if you're in jail, you have to make phone calls through whatever provider the jail uses. These are private companies and charge a lot of money to the family just to talk to their loved one. A quid pro quo is a reward or advantage in return for something. In this case, the jails receive extra money for letting certain phone companies be the only ones prisoners can use. By preventing in person visits, they are lining their pockets with even more money. It's disgusting.

  • Health experts plead for unvaxxed Americans to get measles shot as cases rise
  • Go to your doctor or pharmacist and tell them that you aren't sure. They'll probably just recommend getting a booster. I got all my childhood vaccines (except chickenpox because it wasn't required when I was a kid) and my doctor still recommended a booster just to be sure.

    As an aside, you should be sure to get your tetanus booster every ten years as well.

  • Rational Self Interest
  • I'm glad other people are aware of this. I used to post about her infatuation with that butcher every time I saw her name come up on Reddit. It makes me happy to see other people doing the same.
