Does fermentation reduce the... unfortunate effects of Sunchokes?

I see Castellucci. I upvote Castellucci.
I am currently living out of my Tom Bihn Techonaut 45. It carries my 17" laptop and everything else I need and I'm pretty sure it will outlast me. That said, I've heard that the company was recently sold, so I have no idea if the quality is still there.

The happiest song I know! Thanks for reminding me of it!
This is a great take on the subject. In my area the Jerusalem artichoke would mostly be competing with Asian honeysuckle and Bradford pear trees which have already escaped captivity and killed everything else, but I completely agree that releasing virulent species into any kind of intact ecosystem can be very damaging.
Yeah. I gotta say I came in here to see what the problem was. These things support a ton of weight and, while it may not be beautiful, it isn't going anywhere.
While studying permaculture and regenerative agriculture I came across this thread on native species and it stuck with me. I'm now in the camp of, "the world is changing and what grew in an area before night not be the right thing to grow there now".
Typically wildflowers in an area are synonymous with weeds. They shouldn't have any trouble growing if you break the current grass monopoly even a little. Most people have a hard time getting them to NOT grow in their yard. I had good luck including Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes) in my yard. They are HUGE when fully grown and you will basically need a flame thrower to get rid of them but the birds and bees love them. They also spread risomatically by sending out root runners, so they break up compacted soil. A combination of those and sunflowers would basically be a 2 meter tall flower bed. I don't think you would even need the cardboard.
I have not seen this film, and on your recommendation I'm not going to, but I have to say this is the best film review I've read in a long time! The movie might have been boring, but I happily read the entire review!
I'm also interested to see how these hold up in the long run. I have a 2017 BMW ev and really the only maintenance has been tires and a cabin air filter. One of the main reasons I have avoided buying cars like a Porsche ICE vehicle is that, once you have purchased it, there are large, ongoing maintenance costs and it feels like I'm signing up for a subscription service for my vehicle. If these are fast, cheaper, and also have low ongoing costs I might be in. I'm also mildly concerned about all of the telemetry they gather. I would really rather have a dumb car that I can hook to my smart phone and display Open Street Map or something on it. Then I get to make my software choices to a greater extent.
I want you to know that people are reading these and enjoying them! Thank you for posting them!
