Thank you. I appreciate your comment. I'm very invested in solarpunk, and would give anything to see a solarpunk world come to fruition. Without addressing the challenges and finding solutions, our movement will not be as effective. I'm happy that this discussion got a lot of engagement (by lemmy standards) and got people thinking.

Looks like some type of chamomile...

You should be fine harvesting the plant. Nobody's gonna care about something as small as that.

If harvesting the plant, bring some scissors and cut off the top third of the plant, leaving ample leaves at the bottoms for the plant to regenerate. Don't pull it up by the roots unless you're going to transplant it.

Ahoy mateys...time to set sail on the seven seas.

I'm curious what makes milk bad for you. Could someone explain this? I understand why it is bad for the climate, but not why it's bad for human health provided you can digest lactose properly.

I was wondering if y'all have some YouTube or podcast recommendations for solarpunk creators.

That's a bummer with the Bluetooth thing. The main thing that's broken with all my pairs of Bluetooth headphones is the body of the headphone itself. Guess the battery wouldn't have lasted much longer anyway.

I'll look into those sennheisers.

I'm looking for some BIFL over ear (wireless Bluetooth, since I'm always breaking the wires by accident) headphones.

I haven't had much luck with the earbud things. They're always falling out unless I put them in real well. I want something you can just put in and forget about. Something good for working in the field, running, etc.

It's annoying to have a pair of headphones you really like, only for them to break around the two year mark. Seems like nothing lasts these days.

I'd be willing to pay up to $200, but do tend to buy most things used.

Thanks.

I highly recommend The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin.

Do you think covering a stump that keeps trying to resprout would do the trick? There's one growing right beside a rose bush that keeps trying to crowd it out. Would it hurt the rose bush to cover it?

Great idea. I've tried poisoning it with glyphosphate (I'm not a fan of poison either). I didn't think of drilling holes, so I'll have to try that. Thanks for your advice.

I think it's small leaf privet. It also goes by the name of "Chinese Privet" here. This is in the Southeastern US.

While there's plenty of annoying seedlings, the cut stumps are my main problem. They like to grow in the middle of other already established plants. I've even tried poisoning the stumps, which I hate to do but I felt I had no other choice. It still came back.

I live in the Southeastern US. It was originally introduced here as a hedge plant as well. Unfortunately it's gotten wildly out of control and is very invasive. It crowds out other plants, cultivated and wild. I have a Jerusalem artichoke plant that it has a stump in the middle of and it keeps trying to grow higher than it to share it out.

I've been at war with Privet. No matter what I do, the little bugger comes back in full force. How do I get rid of this relentless plant for good?
