Ackchyually, grass is almost always a mixture of different species (ryegrass, fescue and bluegrass) and therefore not a monoculture.

A lawn has its uses in parks, for example to have a Picknick. If you trow in some clover, daisies and ribwort, don’t spray and patches are left to grow to provide shelter it’s not that bad for biodiversity, depending on the climate of course.

Kinda thought it looked like our cat

Thank god for grocery delivery services.

Yes I know, I meant air/water heat pumps which heat/cool the mass of a building instead of the air. AC units are oversized more often than not and are not that efficient at modulating. I think it’s safe to say that it’s more efficient to turn it of when you leave for more than an hour or two

That is old advice. AC works pretty fast, especially in a small hotel room. If you have floor heating/cooling and a heat pump then it would make sense to leave it on all day.

Yeah I miss some of these folk

Yep that’s me. To be honest I only know one trans woman, but I knew her since she was like 14 and she’s only transitioned a few years back. I sometimes accidentally used her old name or gender which was met with anger, leaving the room and slamming the door most of the time.

She’s doing better now the transition is over, but I mainly stick with silence or safe topics now. I definitely don’t talk about the past anymore because that is like walking through a minefield.

I did that once and the before/after dopamine is nice. But the downside is that looking back at the after photo and realising that it looks like shit again after 10 weeks is even more depressing.
