    A recent survey (n=1) has come to the following conclusions regarding goodness of members of the Brassica family:

    • broccoli: 5/5. Godly. Fry in pan on very high heat, severly searing the outside, but keeping the inside crisp.
    • savoy: 4.5/5. Very versatile. Easy to grow yourself. Smells amazing.
    • kale: 4.5/5. Must have in winter.
    • green cabbage: 4.5/5. Cheers from Sauerkraut country!
    • turnip: 3/5. Alright. Sometimes nice to have. Great raw with dip.
    • cauliflower: 2/5. Tastes like nothing. Only this high up because my control group girlfriend loves it.
    • Brussel sprouts: 0.5/5. Technically edible.
    • Broccoli, cooked: warcrime.






  • We only have two "smart* things: when we get up to pee at night, a motion sensor turns on a light in the living room. Much dimmer than those premade motion activated lights, so we don’t wake each other. Returning to bed and triggering the sensor again turns it off.

    And when it has been raining more than a certain threshold in the past 24h, the outlet into which the pump that feeds our drip irrigation is plugged turns off, and on again when it hasn’t been raining for a while. Saves lots of water, especially when we are on vacation. (The rest of that system is " dumb", though.)
