VTGOP called and confirmed - you're not even on their radar.

I SAW IT TOO! Thank you for posting this. I was at lake elligo.

Welcome! I am actually a new gardener so I don't have advice but I recommend connecting on newsletter.social media with Vermont Garden Network https://vtgardens.org/ lots of great resources and workshops. There's also an active FB group called Vermont Garden Groupies that is very helpful.

It was actually very scary bc it was either manmade or aliens. I didn't wanna be the aliens guy, for real.

lol what does this have to do with anything

Goddman do I hate these fucking things. Sky grafitti.

Not my pic, I saw it and pulled over.

I tried to take a pic and got a black square of nothing.

I assumed I wouldn't have any evidence but THANK THE FSM someone posted this because it was terrifying to see something I couldn't explain. I didn't think anyone would believe me.

Wow. And I thought I liked turnips haha. I’ll poke around for them, thanks for the recommendation

Were you alive during the 2020-2021 school year?

Woah. Great photo!

As I said, I subbed for six years and I loved it. I left because sub pay isn’t sustainable.

Granted, I didn’t have the expectations on me that teachers do, BUT I had to deal with classroom management and some tough kids.

Those people on that sub should not be teaching.

Please enlighten me. What language in teachers contracts do you feel caused all these issues?

It's too bad that teachers unions advocated and demanded policies that caused these issues.

Don't worry, kids are resilient.

Classic gate keeping. Amplifying voices of those who “qualify” while silencing those voices on the margin who the anointed have deemed as “unqualified”.

What’s next? Are you gonna suggest red lining as a way to improve housing quality and a poll taxes as a way to ensure only “educated” people vote?

Your welcome to come and teach. You probably wouldn't last a week. It's NOT the teachers. It's the parents who don't raise their kids properly and expect the school to do it for them.

I got mine before a 200 mile bike ride, but there must be a better way...... http://100-200.org/

Thank you so much. There’s few things more heartbreaking than raising up a beautiful crop of food for yourself to only see it fail due to the weather so I’m probably going to stick with everyone’s advice on here about playing it safe. It’s been so difficult with these weather flip flops though. I appreciate it greatly!

Climate change isn't up for debate you brainlet, it's not a theory, its scientific fact at this point.

Why the fuck do you believe this is a political issues? Most of these scientists aren't involved in politics, they are just doing what they love to do, why do you think climate scientists have some of the highest rates of suicide? BECAUSE PEOPLE WONT LISTEN, they don't do it for the money, they don't do it for politics, and absolutely not for peer pressure, the data set is completely available for anyone to look at, and it's not some sort of backdoor slut that is hidden away, all of the actual studies, graphs, information, is free and available for anyone to look at.

Almost all scientists worth their salt, who aren't contrarians, are going to be looking at the facts OBJECTIVLY. It isn't just about warmer or colder weather, that shows you don't understand it at all, we are already in a ton of feedback loops caused by climate change, including all the methane gas that was frozen in the permafrost being released, the mass die offs of species in Alaska and the Siberian wilds, the wildfires that are caused by it being too dry, because the water cycle has been disrupted ((not because of gender reveal parties other than that one time)) The icecaps basically being gone, Mount Washingtons peak reaching a temperature COLDER THAN ANTARTICA, Crab population dropping by 90% because the ocean isn't cold enough for their exoskeleton to harden,

The only people who do it for the politics are places with big money, like exxon which knew for 40 year the climate scientists were right, and PAID MONEY to make climate "Denying" scientists, which is a fact at this point, and they are in court for it.

Acting like their is some kind of worldwide conspiracy to push climate change is very American.

20 Years of CO/2 Increase

Average Air Temp Increases

Ocean Temp Increases

Atmospheric Dioxide Never Went Above this line till 1950 ((accounting for millions of years, for all you people who say we don't have the data, it's one of the things we do in Antarctica is mining ice cores to evaluate the air and other conditions of the planet))

So yeah, here's your data.

I still stick with zone 4 out of caution for all foundational plantings, but have been growing annuals for zone 5 with great results the last 6-7 years.
Many of the garden centers away from the lake are beginning to carry more zone 5 plants.

Sure it does.

Exactly, who cares. But if you can't be held to a standard of telling the truth, why expect anyone else to be held to that standard?

When people comment believing they are most intelligent, but spell incorrectly. 🙄

So what did Musk do?

Lmao?

I'll wait.

Yo totally agree with you about targeting other emissions from consumer goods (HUGE contributor to emissions), plains, trains, etc. BUT you're wrong about the EV thing - this has been proven time and time again, they are much cleaner from cradle to grave than something like a ram 3500, literally no contest. You're talking an enormous lifetime of tailpipe emissions, combined with all fossil fuels required for manufacturing, combined with the process of getting and refining crude oil, combined with shipping all of that.

It's also really bad for lake Champlain and the surrounding watershed. Warmer temps and less rain contribute greatly to algae blooms. Combined with phosphorus runoff. Sad because the lake is one of our greatest natural areas.
