Can’t say I have not met people who were worthless at USPS. Like I said learn the contract and you are good to go. I switched from an office that was working me 56+ hours a week to one that works their full time employees at 38 hours a week. I don’t miss the daily grind but I miss the pay.

In fairness there is like a million kinds of walnut. There is white walnut also known as butternut, there is black walnut and there is English walnut which also goes by Carpathian walnut. I can count 3 right there. There is a lot of unknown nuts. Like there is a bunch of kinds of hickory, a bunch of walnut, heart nut etc. When it comes to nut trees the situation can honestly become overwhelming. It can be particularly overwhelming because there is many unique pollination groups. Pecans you need a type 1 and type 2 and someone on here told me depending on where you are pollination can change between the 2, hazelnut require 2 different types but 2 different specific types etc. Nut trees/bushes are a very confusing topic are so are plants like persimmon when it comes to pollination.

Yah, I realize that tree identification can be tricky. I didn’t belittle the guy for not knowing what kind of tree that walnuts grew on, but you would think that if a person can identify a walnut on the ground that they would know what KIND of tree it came from.
At least he knew it didn’t grown on a tin can.
There’s also the question of whether he was thinking of the walnuts that we buy at the grocery store, which are English/Persian walnuts, as opposed to the black walnut which grow naturally here in Georgia, which I only see wildlife eating. You could also consider the fact that acorns are produced by oak trees, and so not every nut is named from it’s progenitor tree.

In fact, the solution used is made out of bird deterrent (food grade). Nile Blue made a video on it, and it was quite interesting:
I saw that video yesterday. He said he could not find it and he used bird repellent as it had the right solution. It also said on the bottle that if injected to call the poison control line right away. He also covered his butt at the end of the video stating he does not condone or encourage using bird repellent in his video at the very end. The bird repellent likely has other chemicals in it that were not used in the actual apple. I wondered about his legal liability with this and how much that would cover him with the disclaimer being a few second clip at the end of the video. I have not seen his other videos but his demeanor reminded me of the dude bro mentality you see of a Andrew Tate.
One eagle-eyed viewer took a closer look at the patent on the screen, and noticed they too used bird repellent in their recipe.
Other viewers mentioned seeing videos of the manufacturing process, where they essentially dump a thick milky liquid into water and then dunked the apples into it. So apparently… they literally used bird repellent in the actual product. If it’s food grade, I see no issue with it.
I haven’t seen any of Tate’s content, but I’ve read terrible things about him. Nile’s always seemed to me pretty chill in his videos. Professional in NileRed, a bit goofy in NileBlue, but otherwise chill.
To me that is pretty bad if it was confirmed by patent. Other examples include brave wilderness I get that vibe from and Steve Rogen I get those vibes from. Basically these channels where you have the main guy and the other guys just confirm X things was said by the main guy. Again this is the only video I have seen of his so I can’t confirm it. I seldom see the host with the cohost or camera guy just reaffirming the main host on small channels but I do see it on these bigger channels. I feel that is the problem with YouTube in general though. At a certain point channels become way less personal and the channel seems to talk to their audience in a demeaning way as well as them starting to write things like books that they hope sell based on name recognition alone. I remember brave wilderness tried to sell a movie based on the stings they got but it was literally content you could get on Youtube for free. Not to mention they gave the impression the stings were supposed to be to make people fear these animals less as they went along.

With daughters market garden/orchard venture(z3 ish) commonly get people saying either, “I didn’t realize we could grow that here”, or, “YOU can’t grow that here”.
The first ones I happily explain some things definitely, many things we are growing/trying to are a risk and the problem with fruit trees is it’s 7 yrs before you learn if you’ve learned anything or just wasted your money and 7 years.
The second group, well, I’ve just taken to saying, “what you really mean is YOU can’t grow this here. We only sell what we grow”.
I’m getting grumpy in my old age.

I have heard X does not grow here and they are generally right in my experience. Either it does not grow here when the people who know what they are talking about or it requires special stuff. People hear about growing blueberries here because CU made a video on it but blueberries are well known not to grow here and many fail. Generally if something is easy to grow you find articles about how X does great in your state. CSU has articles stating sweet cherry do not grow well here and I was told on her they don’t do well here. Those that have grown are stagnate and those that have not grown are dead. There are certainly things that are just unknown things that may do well like seaberry but some of those things you just know will do well anyway like seaberry grow pretty much wherever.
