I don't like beets, as a general rule. I've had them exactly once where they were delicious and didn't taste like sweet and sour dirt, lol. BUT, I always try them when presented, and as a(n ex) chef, and now an accomplished gardener, I can sow pretty much any variety I want, which might be the silver bullet to enjoyment.

So- what beet varieties would you recommend for someone who hates "normal" beets?

So, I live in the Mojave desert and obviously growing things in this climate is already a challenge. The worst pests I get are definitely spider mites and they seem to be ubiquitous. Everything I read about treating them is damaging to my plants over 90°, which we don't hit until probably the end of September LOL. I've been spraying with water as much as I can, removing infected foliage, mulching deeply, all that, but nothing seems to help.

So,... How do I get rid of these jerks without spending $30 on overnight shipping predatory mites?

To everyone setting off insanely unnecessary illegal fireworks tonight, especially the mortars that makes it sound like we're in a war zone:

Fuck you. Fuck you so much. Fuck you for every veteran with PTSD that you trigger within a 10 block radius. Fuck you for every refugee living with us from a war torn country. Also, fuck you on behalf of everyone with their pets, who have been existing in fight or flight for a solid 24hrs around the 4th because people are still apparently fascinated by loud sounds...."ooohhhhBOOMooooh."

Next year I'm finding every one of your asses in my neighborhood and chucking in giant glitter-laden water balloons, before launching a handful of stinkbombs into you

After dealing with a never ending parade of condescending men while rehabbing and renovating our property, my wife and I are over it (IYKYK). We want to give our money to women and/or queer owned and operated businesses that don't act like our silly little lady brains can't possibly comprehend the complexity of their manual labor.

We'd like to have a go-to handyma'am for random repairs, but we're also specifically looking for women that do :

• - landscaping/irrigation install and repair
• - vinyl flooring plank installation
• - wall tile installation
• - electrical
• - plumbing

Thanks in advance! Hoping for more recs than I'm expecting, lol!

I came across a video today about Domino brand powdered sugar and a massive shortage in their bags. Apparently due to a miscalibration at the facility, their 2lb bags of sugar only contained 1lb of product for about a 3 week period.

So, I was wondering- wouldn't someone, somewhere along the transport process notice that their load weight was half of what it should have been? Idk how that sort of thing is tracked and monitored, but I'm confused how that wouldn't have raised red flags...
