    I forgot the name of the garden product I am trying to look for.  It was a recent freebie.

    https://www.daz3d.com/garden-plants--herbs-vol-2

    Thanks that is it.

    I still think it was carrot seeds.

    carrots have seeds?

    i guess it must be true cuz i've seen baby carrots

    it also sounds profound.

    reading into all kinds of existential  profoundity tnite

    According to the carrot museum in the UK... Baby carrots are a lie... well, most commercial, grocery store grade "baby carrots"... they are made from larger broken ones or ones too ugly to sell... http://www.carrotmuseum.co.uk/babycarrot.html

    Baby carrots are a lie... 

    Damn...

    At least we still have Soylent Green... we know that's not a lie.

    Sandwich, salad, chicken, or lasagna?

    This is a profound quandary that has perplexed mankind for eons... 

    The sage Proboscus of Nair mused "If a man must chose between a sandwich offered by a ox, a salad given by the goat, the lasagna delivered by the monkey or the friendship of his brother's chicken, who is wise enough to see the ox's hubris, the condescension of the goat, the monkey's subterfuge, and reject these deceptive bounties for the love of the faithful chicken?... It is only he that can see the chicken's true nature, his courage and fortitude that will chose the love of the chicken and not roast him as the fool would"...

    It has been almost three thousand years since Proboscus was trampled to death by rhinoceroses, but his words still bear truth... "The ox and goat may seem sincere, but only a fool ignores their intentions... choose the love of a chicken over the lasagna of the monkey and you will find happiness."

    In these uncertain times we must always trust in the love of the chicken and act accordingly.

    mebbe siri could help with the decision?.

    i asked siri to divide 42 by zero, she was upset by the question.

    ....so after reading  it makes me wonder if the baby corn that we see in cans on shelves at the market and on salad bars isn't also really a fabrication as well and instead of being lovingly picked by hand at the moment of perfect babieness under a full summer moon I envision big windowless processing plants in Thailand and France (the latter for the Napolean™ brand) built like reinforced concrete bunkers to contain any fallout where they zap full size pre-husked ears of corn with some sort of "shrink-o-ray" to  That would explain why they are so expensive.as well as the occasional brownouts in Bangkok and Metz.

    Oh, and wouldn't the plural of Rhinoceros be Rhinocereese?

    ...question, why is is so difficult to find honey in a simple short cylindrical glass jar at the market?  Why does the packaging always have to either look like a teddy bear or have all this ribbing on the sides to look like hive, and made out of squeezable plastic?  Crikey it's expensive enough today what with declining bee populations and all, to have any go to waste because it gets stuck in all the nooks & crankiness and you can't get out.

    Same goes for peanut butter which is often packaged in plastic jars with widened segments (particularly at the bottom) or has ribbing which makes it hard the tip of the knife in to get everything out.  Why can't the jar just have straight smooth sides from the top to the bottom?

    You've listed all the reasons.  Well, at least the reasons that matter to the manufacturer.

    During the low part of my life at the age of 54 and had been unemployed for a for a year, lost my house, car & motorcycle, when out of desperaton I was living in the basement of my 87 year old widowed aunt in her great big house in Florida being her driver, lawn guy, security guard, electronics technician, roof & gutter cleaner, snake killer, dishwasher, kitchen stove cleaner, house sitter when she vacated during hurricanes, live-in pianist, hurricane debris remover, attic adventurer and opossum catcher, as well as gopher for her lately arrived homeless, and monsterously obese, scheming primadonna daughter shunned by the rest of the family, my aunt caught me discarding a peanut butter jar that had, if I had worked for two more minutes scraping the remains, would have produced a glob about the size of a blueberry, and actually yelled at me for wasting peanut butter.  I think at the end she was going la-la and was unduly influenced by the daughter's machinations.  Aunt booted me out a few months later when she complained that the grass wasn't short enough.  Nevermind that she was legally blind and the grass in that part of the HUGE lawn was fabulous and I was very proud of its lush density.  And although she died a few months later, now I can't look at a nearly empty peanut butter jar without deliberately wasting that last glob and thinking,  "There, take THAT".

    ...would work for PB but not honey or jars with ribbing along the bottom like the second one has (kind of defeats the purpose of bevelling the bottom inward which would normally make it easier to get the remaining PB out of the bottom without needing a specially designed knife).   Just don't understand why is it so hard to just stick to a more simple container shape that worked just fine with the standard butter knives already in the drawer?  If it ain't broke, don't mess it up. 

    ...oh wait , I've got it. It's a conspiracy by the gadget industry with the packaging designers to get people to buy their specialised products. ;-)

    Complaint:  After purchasing several new computer devices during the last 5 or six months, each with their own power cords and data cables and after initially shoving them into place I looked at the godawful mess of wires today and felt shame.blush  So, most of today I've been on the floor, under the desks, with vacuum cleaner hose and a belief that things could be better.  I've shortened power cords and data cords, I've added new places to plug things.  I've moved my newly restored UPS into place and given it a job.  I've put some more things on battery backup, and moved others to simply spike protection.  Wires are untangled.  The dust and dead insects are gone,   I have more floorspace visible.  The whole arrangement is now quite logical and easily rememberable and neat and LABELEDsurprise.  Oh, my aching back and feet, and dirty sweatpants and shirt.sad​ 

    Non-complaint:  The whole arrangement is now quite logical and easily rememberable and neat and LABELED, and everything still works.  Yay!smiley

    You already know that conspiracy theories are not restricted to any particular affiliation, whether religious, social, familial, or political.  And tinfoil hats don't work with the current flow of Earth's magnetic field, anyway.  Besides that, wrapping your head in Reynold's Wrap just makes it look like you have a giant baked potato on  your shoulders.  Not a stylish look, and those people looking to make the Guiness Book for biggest baked-potato; well, they won't leave you a moment's peace!

    McGyver has the full assembly instructions in case you need details, but the short of it is that you have to make a full-blown chain mail wig and bodysuit.  And  you have to wear aluminum contact lenses and a breathing mask.  Not for Coronavirus, mind you.  You need that stuff to avoid the other conspiracy theorists who, the moment they see your contacts, will insist on dousing you with bear spray!

    I forgot the goggles.  You need welding safety goggles WITH the contacts.  It's the only way.

    A small fan...Comfort Zone...USB powered.  I have one on my desk.   https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwic4oK6qozoAhXCgJ8KHfEwAdAYABAaGgJxYg&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAASE-Ro0Ue7FowTlfuRprtlQfh6sWc&sig=AOD64_2qTaYA2AU0y0vKIV6MMa5neWJAVQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjbo_u5qozoAhUFg3IEHcw7BrEQ9aACegQIDRA2&adurl=

    I'm sure things have improved, but in the early '00s I bought a laptop cooler fan thingie that you set your laptop on to force air up through the laptop (yes, the laptop ventilation holes were on the bottom).  It was powered by USB.  Worked great for about a day until it fried my laptop's powersupply.surprise  That was a nice laptop too.sad  And I couldn't afford to repair it. crying  Made me leary about powering things via USB unless I know the wattage draw and the PS capacities.enlightened  I have several USB powered devices now but I still give a thought to that crappy PS on that old laptop.angry
