You're really going to back up your point with a quote from a rich dude that made a living making food for the wealthy and could afford to travel the world to eat local cuisines, many of which include a large amount of vegan fare?

If you’re interested in Wrath Classic I have a guild that’s just like 7 people I know irl! I’m the only one currently in rva but there would be a few opportunities a year to meet the other members irl because we are all in Virginia :)

Yeah I usually carpool up there with some friends, so that's nice to know. Thanks!

I think you might be thinking of Remnant church which is farther back in the parking lot. I'm referring to the building with the wood fence that is directly on the corner of main.

I did a double check, it does like a lot of sun but you're right that it prefers moist soil!

Yup, technically you’re supposed to have 3 people in the car to use it but if you look at the lane entrance sign it should say Ezpass Flex-No Toll

You have talked to these people? Global warming is vastly impacted by the industrialized production of meat. You know who suffers the most from the effects of global warming? People living in the 3rd world. Take your self righteous bullshit elsewhere.

I thought turtlehead was at least tolerant of shade/moisture, but I actually thought it preferred shade/moisture. I know some plants can tolerate a wide range though.
Great list💚

I mean I hate an arrogant vegan as much as the next guy but instantly saying "gross" to vegan food is doing the exact same thing they do.
I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but goddamn some vegan food is delicious and could knock "regular" versions out of the water.

Best sunrise I have seen was Cadillac Mountain at Acadia! So worth getting up at 430am to go watch.

Is everyone just using whomever for car + home insurance? I have to add my wife and think now might be the perfect time to shop around but don’t know if it makes sense to get an agent or not

It depends on what the environment of your yard is like. If it's full sun and on the drier side Butterflyweed, Bluestem Grass, Rubeckias, Spotted Beebalm, Turtlehead, Evening Primrose, Toadflax, Splitbeard Bluestem, Goldenrod, Purple Lovegrass.
If it's on the shadier side Mayapples, Green Dragon, Trilliums, Columbines, Bloodroot, Wood Aster, Wood Sedge, Heucheras, Yucca, Wild Ginger, Heartleafs.

I think this came up in recent months and it was determined it is a church. I can't find the thread, though...

To add to the coolness, Rocket Lab brings a healthy amount of Kiwi irreverence to the process.
Like back in 2018, they launched "It's Business Time" with a nod to the Flight of the Conchords song of the same name.

Wait so is it free to use those toll lanes on 95 if you've got the hov switch on? I just got the ez-pass with the switch and I was wondering about that.

Touched a nerve. I get it. No one wants their privilege pointed out.

The ability to eat a specialized diet is a first world phenomenon. All I ask is you people recognize how privileged you are.

Can't recommend MoultonHotNatives enough, the prices are good and the seeds are all sourced locally and responsibly. There's also Reedy Creek Environmental, Bill operates similarly.

People who are subsisting on whatever meager food they can find. Find your lifestyle choice offensive.
“They make for bad travelers and bad guests. The notion that before you even set out to go to Thailand, you say, “I’m not interested,” or you’re unwilling to try things that people take so personally and are so proud of and so generous with, I don’t understand that, and I think it’s rude. You’re at Grandma’s house, you eat what Grandma serves you.”
“Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living. Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, and an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food.”
“I don’t have any understanding of it. Being a vegan is a first-world phenomenon, completely self-indulgent.”
-Anthony Bourdain

Vegan food is not necessarily expensive... Sorry you don't know how to cook and this post triggered you. Go eat some beans and rice.
