Potatoes are the best. Easy to grow in marginal soil, varied ways to cook them, and they store easily long term in a simple root cellar.

Add in some squash like pumpkins which have the same advantages and you should be good to go.

Coming from PA. As bad as MD roads are ours are worse

I’ve lived near the Mason Dixon line for my whole life and you know when you get to Maryland because the roads aren’t covered with potholes and/or construction.

Ban paper.

Kids could draw boobies on it.

I still miss Kbin.

My retirement plan is eating bugs in the woods because it beats working until I die.

Nah I’m good thanks. I don’t even want to talk to an AI.

Now going outside and befriending some small creature, or hugging a few trees? That sounds nice.

This is part of the reason I like watching older tv shows.

This is my hell.

Humans are the literal worst.

I know of one, and it’s my kid. And they’re just as frustrated as I am about how little their peers know about computers

We are ruled by the market and the market is ruled by the lowest common denominator.

I call folks who drive them “rural identifying persons”

They don’t make sedans anymore. They’ve gone the way of the station wagon

I got a hitch sized hole in my bumper because some asshole backed into my parked car and drove off.
