That was always the biggest threat, I thought; normally survivable crises like car crashes, strokes, etc that kill you because the ICU beds are all full of covid cases that take three weeks to resolve and they've got nowhere to put you.

for the homeowners, remember that it's best to plant potatoes in the fall/winter. Set a calendar reminder to put a bunch of spuds in the ground. you can just buy a loving bag of potatoes and cut them into large chunks. make sure there's one eye on each. you'll have a fuckload of potatoes in the spring/summer

i wish i had a garden, ive got like a few square feet on my balcony, at best. and now my balcony is made of charcoal-colored wood so it gets extremely hot during the day, much to the detriment of my plants.
