His is a dwarf though, so I think can get away with a 10 gallon pot, just need to make sure you trim the plant (branches and roots) once a year or so once it's hit full size for the pot. Our winters here are brutal, I'm really worried about our fig tree (not a dwarf) once we put it in the ground in the spring.

Have you considered potting it? That way it is technically movable to more suitable climate during heat waves (i.e. you can move indoors).

Socialism isn't extremist. The attempted silencing of other voices on the other hand.... I wrote a stupid paper about enclosures. While I do agree there was resistance to the enclosures, there was also a variety of responses. As well, enclosures led to urbanization - which has been done poorly in North America in particular, but the only way we are supporting life on this planet without totally fucking the environment is through urbanization and increased population density. Change always brings resistance. Is that resistance always right? The Tenant Farmer and his Economic Environs.pdf

This may lack the analytical context you're seeking, but DJ Food's collection of some of his mixes on mixcloud is fucking brilliant and spans a huge range of IDM, electronic, and weirdness. You have to subscribe to access it all, but it's 2.99 a month - you can definitely listen to everything in a month ? He also produced this excellent piece on cut-ups which has some analytical context: He also did this mix in the immediate aftermath of the first wave of the aphex soundcloud dump, and mixed in a bunch of old aphex interviews (where RDJ does some excellent trolling):

I think the sensationalist antiwork posts suck a lot of air out of the room, so if you only go there from r/all you (not you specifically) can miss a lot of the other less egregious ones which are along the lines of "left for a different job that offers decent pay/benefits/work-life balance etc." Or posts like this one that show what a decent company should be offering. Not disagreeing with you that work is fundamental to our society (until we live in a post-scarcity model where everything is fuelled from pure renewables and nanobots will build whatever we need out of the appropriate nano-material), but I don't think there's a whole lot of trampling going on - r/antiwork may be very vocal, but they have 1.7M subscribers. Even if we don't assume half of those are bots, a third of those remaining are foreign actors conducting interference, another third are edgy teenagers who have never had a job, 1.7M people is a tiny percentage of the US labour force. The "great resignation" saw on average slightly higher than normal quitting rates (I suspect that many of those were people who were near enough to retirement already, I haven't looked at the demographics that closely), but in the service industry (food and retail) the resignation rates were significantly higher - which should come as no surprise to anyone with the slightest familiarity with the service industry in the US.

The US can certainly do both though. Biden's administration is on the path to at least begin that: https://www.savingforcollege.com/article/whats-the-current-state-of-student-loan-forgiveness (pausing interest payments is huge - the interest payments on those student loans are ridiculous). Remains to be seen what the policy will be on publicly-funded post-secondary in terms of fees moving forward.

I mean the clinic had the chance to respond by offering the 7 workers the same deal (they knew about the employment offers on December 21) but instead chose profits over patients. Apparently the 7 workers are going to a clinic that offers the same level of care and is about 10km away. So it's not like they're moving to a different state. That's what these workers did - they asked for better working conditions and all that, and the company refused. Pretty hard to feel sorry for the original clinic.

Yeah what could possibly go wrong from extremist views.

lol we live in the same city (or at least I live in the same city as the university you graduated from - not far from there actually). Congrats on finishing during the pandemic, it must have been fucking tough.

Isn't that what r/communism, r/Marxism, and r/socialism are for? Given your hilarious joke, why would you expect that particular subreddit to educate people about communism?

Sigh, I know I'm going to regret this, but how do you think the "anarcho-bidenists" who "run" /rantiwork should serve their community of workers in the subreddit?

This may depend on what device you're watching it on - on my playstation it was worse than eating taco bell, but on the Apple TV it's the first thing that comes up when you turn it on.

Binged Ozark S4 Part 1. Pretty clear they will wrap things up in part 2. Maintains the quality of the series so far. Only one thing I found a little unbelievable but didn't take me out of it.
-
Yeah they're in hearings today. Absolutely batshit.
-
I guess so, but the sound choices were pretty gash I thought (those super gated strings) and the melodic lines were like some low budget SyFy series theme. Really enjoy the rest of the album though. Fortunately it's only those two tracks that are only in the cheese realm.
-
Am I the only one that thinks the Noctis tracks are epic cheese? Unless I'm missing some kind of joke that Tom is playing. Rest of the album is great and will undoubtedly get lots of playtime.

Am re-reading the books (well the first three) cause it has been ages since I read them, and it does make me hope that there will be a super long director’s cut that goes into the politics more. Also apparently Villeneuve is going to do Rendezvous with Rama. I’m excited but apprehensive because the Rama books are some of my fav SF ever, and there is so much character driven material that it would be easy to fuck it up, even for someone as talented as Villeneuve.

Just binged all of The Shrink Next Door. Expectations were low but it was pretty decent in the end. Could have done a little bit better explaining Rudd’s motivations but maybe that would have made it too explicit. Worth the watch.
