Weak. To really say you’ve climbed Everest, you need to start from the Challenger Deep.

Yeah Bing Chat had sources for a while (not sure if it still does) and when I checked the sources, the frequently didn’t contain the claim in question. So even if you get it to cite real pages, it just doesn’t work the same way as human citations do.

A lot of it is from many articles and podcasts I’ve read but here’s a decent if long overview. https://blackrosefed.org/workers-power-and-the-russian-revolution/

If you prefer an audio format, I recommend this video (the visuals are optional so I usually listen in the background). https://youtu.be/uwU3STgBknQ

The whole series is worth a listen but would be a big time commitment.

Earlier in the year I collected some fruit from a Ficus macrophylla which is a rare tree in my area. After annoying my wife by soaking the fruit in water on our counter for a few weeks, then sowing the seed in a small humidity box, I had almost given up hope when nothing germinated for over a month. But this past week, some finally popped up. I transferred a few into bigger containers but I need to figure out what to do with the rest.

Hoping to grow some magnificent trees someday. Here’s what they’ll grow into for the uninitiated:

I’m also trying to root and propagate some water spinach I bought at a farmers market recently. Delicious, I hope it takes. Got some good roots growing but the plant looks a bit sickly. I am going to move it to a more sunny position and hope that helps.

A maple tree I planted last fall has almost doubled in size which is a really good growth rate.

On a less successful note, I think I didn’t water my raspberry enough and it looks pretty dead. Was a bit of a stretch in my climate but my wife loves them and I love her… oh well.

I agree. It’s technically true but intentionally misleading. That said, I think there are other, better examples to label as lies that don’t get into this gray area.

Biden wasn’t a sitting president though.

So using stop signs “properly” to you means in a way that is proven more dangerous to cyclists? Yes I’m sure “sharing” is extremely important to you!

By the way I do stop at stop signs but my behavior has nothing to do with advocating for better and safer policies.

Don’t worry, there’s no reason to read the ML rules since they don’t follow them anyway. 90% of bans there have nothing whatsoever to do with the rules.

However, I will say it’s generally good practice to read the rules in other places.
