I vehemently disagree with this statement.
We need to compost the rich and use that as a soil amendment to grow heirloom vegetables.

What's your favorite show focusing on wellness and mental health and emotional integrity?
I'm being totally honest when I say, This Old House. It's always positive, inclusive, thoughtful. I've learned so much from so many different trades. They restore neglected structures and highlight local businesses and people. They underscore the importance of history and community. That encourage the underserved and downtrodden to use their hands and minds for positive community building.
There are 45 seasons and it's still going. I've tried to put it on just to have in the background and always end up riveted and engrossed. I cannot recommend it enough

I can confirm and I do use this feature of jellyfin. It works great. The reader is unusable. I use Librera for reading. It's great, free, and open source.
So my flow is biblio, mam, library Genesis, Anna's. Then to jellyfin folder that it reads automatically. Then I can download that to any device connected to the jellyfin server. Local is easy, abroad through tailscale.

Everyone with your exact job title in your industry vanishes, how long until awful things happen?
Sewage in the street by days end. Resurging preventable diseases long thought vanished by the developed world shortly thereafter.

What topic do you have the most knowledge, and can you explain it so a child can understand it?
I have two obscure knowledge bases; botany and wastewater treatment. I can and have taught both to children.

People who almost never games anymore what happened ?
Wanted to fully experience life!
Grew up gaming. Stopped gaming for twenty years. Now I game again. I've had a great time. Climbed mountains. Traveled. All manner of relationships. Built a nice career. Now I find I can enjoy games without that, I'm wasting my life feeling.
All humans "waste" time. It's odd to say reading is better than games. Or movies are better than TV. They're all just mediums to convey stories. And really, there aren't many original stories, just the same ones told over and over in different ways.
At least with games, you are actively participating rather than passively consuming. And yes I do read lots of complicated books, and watch fine cinema, and great television.
But I also garden, birding, botany, camp, etc.

What is your favorite product of evolution?
Carnivorous plants. They are always being eaten by something. Glad a few of them fought back.

I've got some rocks on a shelf from the Permian. So a little older than 250 million years.

The Curse review: Emma Stone comes up trumps again in this brilliantly unsettling new television comedy
After recently finishing all of Nathan For You and the Rehearsal, I can honestly say he's one of the most original content creators I've ever seen. I can't wait to see this.

It is a big commitment. I did not dilly-dally and am a veteran gamer. It took me 90 hours to finish a moderate play through. It's worth it but it did start to drag at the end. And that's just one ending.

If you haven't played a game like this, there is a learning curve. I've been playing stuff like this for decades and there's still lots to explore, in purely mechanical terms, with BG3.
That said, it is very much worth the initial investment. I found playing Divinity 2: original sin very much prepared me for BG3. You could start there a little more cheaply before delving into this expensive title. At least then you can see if you enjoy this style of game.
