I think so. We have 80+ spices in our spice drawer and I think there were only 4 we couldn't grow here. Cinnamon was one of them for sure. The theme of "it's too big to fit in the house and our winters are too cold for it to over winter" was the common thread.

OK. So someone explain it to me like I'm 5. The big tech companies have been holding the US stock market up for years now. They are all heavily investing in AI and their value is based on expectations of huge breakthroughs which will enrich the lives for everyone. Some people say it's all hype, hopes snd dreams and when people figure that out everything comes crashing down. That's easy to understand. But what if these rich dudes like Zuckerburg and Altman and the others are right? They make a machine that can do things better and faster than humans. No need to keep paying the workers anymore. Great. Mission accomplished. How do they turn a profit at that point? If people are out of work, who is going to buy the output of the AI? Other rich dudes who already have their own AI? Governments? Is so, where do they get the money? We all know printing it isn't going to work, and if it's just going to taxes and then backto the companies, I don't understand the point. Where is the money supposed to come from? It just doesn't make sense to me. Give me the straight dope here. Teach me something.

Oh, cloves are USDA zones 11-12. I didn't realize they were tropical. At any ratez we have successfully groqn turmeric here. Bring it inside below 20°C, put it in the shade over 30°C, and put it in the sun if it's in between. It's a bit of work, but it's a tried and true technique. So I think the process would be the same for growing cloves.

I suggest starting now, without the automation. I have a similar setup, of using grow lights, hydroponics, and some ol' fashioned dirt. But mine is made mostly of trash that I scavenged. I print the 3" net cups, but the containers are old food containers, a shoebox with a broken lid, or whatever else I can find that would otherwise just get recycled. It's pretty bare right now since I just harvested, but I'm about to start another batch of hydroponics today using some containers that are out of frame in the picture above. And I admit it, I did print some flower pots just for fun. I wouldn't recommend it, unless there's something super cool about your design. It's far more economical to buy them. I followed you so I can pick up some tips and tricks as you run into issues. I'm especially interested in yo what degree the moving water prevents algae from growing.

You load 16 tons, what do ya get?

Artisans.coop qualifies and I'd be happy to pitch that we move to you if you'll let us

No, but we use cloves in a couple recipies, so maybe I should be growing them...

Yes

Not unless I have an appointment. And I try to not have appointments, esp. in the morning. 😄 It's glorious.

This is the knife I use to open up packages I didn't think it'd work well, but its been great

MyNymBox, Njal.la, NiceVPS, Porkbun, OrangeWebsite, IncogNet and NameCheap all don't support the .coop TLD. ☹️ Looks like there's nobody that I can pay directly with BTC that also can handle a .coop registration. If we want bitcoin to be a viable option for "the people", this is a gap that needs to be filled. Domain names are a pillar of self-sovereignty, and even if you prefer corporations as a legal structure, I think we can pretty much all agree cooperatives should be included. If is willing to pick this up, I vow to do my best to get the cooperative that I am a part of to move to you. If that goes well, I'll also try getting a few other groups I'm a part of to move over along with a couple personal domains. I'd be happy to have all the domains I help manage be under one roof and with a privacy-respecting company like yourself.

Unsolicited feedback about Her jerky is good and she has good support after the sale. Story time. A while back I bought some jerky from her, mainly to support a fellow midwesterner who is actually making things. My Nostr DMs never received, but I placed an order by email and that worked fine. When it arrived, I wanted to share it with the household, but someone here has food alergies and an ingredient was "soy sauce". Uh oh. Does it have BHT, disodium EDTA, MSG? No idea. But I hit up beejay and had an answer within minutes. None of that junk was in there. Just real food. So we all got to enjoy the snack. I'm usually very cost concious, so I go for the least expensive option at the grocery store, which is a fraction of the cost of handmade jerky. But if you want the high end stuff, try beejay. She's the real deal.
