BUT: that’s when I took a closer look, because the cabbages were even stranger than I had thus far suspected.
can you guess?
that’s right they were FAKE.
plastic cabbages!!
I don’t know if that makes me MORE or less angry. 3/3
@futurebird One thing I remember from my first (and only) visit to Toronto -- in early December, many years ago -- was the decorative cabbages planted in small plots outside people's homes. I had no idea that they were a thing.
Brassicas, eh? Weirder and much more annoying than beans...

@darkling @futurebird Decorative brassicas are a NY tradition in much of Asia.

More. A cabbage planted and abandoned to dog piss is still adding a lot of the benefits of plant life. Not much was wasted as they practically grow on trees.
@gbargoud
And also more because that hipster aesthetic of veg in window boxes was about acknowledging the importance of feeding people in cities. So what kind of mindset goes 'let's take that and make it not food'

@Bumblefish @futurebird I just had no idea they were a Thing until that point.
But I guess, brassicas can be all things to all people...

I'm not impressed if you buy them that big at the nursery. Which is what I thought they did. Until I started feeling depressed about the sorry state of my own cabbage efforts... how could they beat me with such healthy broad fractal edged green leaves and so little sunlight... and so many... additives?
Cheating. That is how.

It's just... sad. Every square centimeter of photosynthetic green is valuable in a city. Someday they will understand, I hope. But not before the collapse.
There are less glamorous things that will grow in such places.

@futurebird this might be the only place where watching an ATLA fight scene would not tarnish my conscience -

@futurebird @angelastella boosting this because i love how out of context it vaguely sounds like a threat -

@futurebird @Bumblefish @darkling I was going to say it was the nitrogen rich urine...

Apple sta lottando per la capacità di TSMC mentre Nvidia prende il centro della scena
Il boom dell’intelligenza artificiale sta gonfiando prezzi e margini del colosso taiwanese, con Nvidia che sembra avviata a superare Apple come peso specifico tra i clienti.
Apple, un tempo cliente dominante della Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, la più grande fonderia di semiconduttori al mondo, oggi si ritrova a contendersi la capacità produttiva sui nodi più avanzati con Nvidia.
TSMC, dal canto suo, non può premere l’acceleratore a casaccio sull’espansione delle fabbriche: per tirarne su una servono anni, e una corsa sconsiderata la esporrebbe a rischi enormi se la domanda di chip AI dovesse rallentare.

Poche decine di soldati di paesi Nato, a rotazione ma su base permanente. Per mandare un messaggio, non per impedire una eventuale invasione americana. Vedremo la reazione di Trump
