My latest cayenne pepper harvest. I bought this plant last October and kept it alive inside through the winter and it hit the ground running this year. This is my third harvest. They take a couple weeks to dry. So good cutting one up and adding to a salad.

Let's Talk About Tetanus

There is no such thing as a “tetanus shot” anymore. The manufacturers stopped making the single tetanus shot in 2012. Since that time, getting a “tetanus shot” means getting either a DTaP or Tdap, depending on the person’s age

My first tip is that real food is good and adulterated/processed not good to varying degrees. Best tip is stay with organic and if possible connect to your local farmers so it's fresh and sup[ports small farmers.

I finished first person adventure game "Kona" recently. It had some really good mechanics that make it a survival game without the need to be mashochistic. The story was good as well. Also for those that live in Canada it takes place in Quebec during 1970 so there's some nostalgia happening as wella s some good historical mentions. It has a native Linux version, uses the Vulkan API and is available DRM free at GOG.

Fascinating presentation at #matrixconf from Jan Kohnert at gematik.
