> If a man declares in a recording from April that he saw the numbers in a dream and they will come up before November... Then numbers come up...

Yea you're right this is a good analogy.

In this case, the guy got some of the lottery numbers right, some were wrong, and some of the numerals were a little blurry. If it really were the lottery, he wouldn't be walking away with the jackpot.

To me, this (getting some of the numbers right) is mildly interesting but not a clear/obvious case. And given the major loftiness of the claim being made (the implications are: god is real, god gave me a vision, god is on trump's side, god protected trump, trump is going to come around to being some kind of soldier for jesus, etc. etc. a massively consequential set of conclusions), personally I'd want a LOT more accuracy and less room for chance in order to accept such enormous claims.

You have a different set of priors (half of the implications above you probably readily accept), so the situation looks very different for you. Seems reasonable to me.

It's important to have these conversations. keeps us all honest and grounded. Thanks for being a good sport.

But seriously... Grow your own f* vegetables 😜

lol I am!

currently: tomatoes, figs (!), cucumbers, beans, peppers, eggplant, lettuces, chard (missed garlic this year), and herbs of course.

one year I grew wheat. that was fucking cool. not worth the effort to do on a small scale, though.

Potatoes are fun.

nice! I need more beds! I'm in the burbs now, but we're about to harvest and start the fall garden. I plan on doing peas, green beans, probably broccoli and kale. Maybe some beets.

Garlic is a must so I'll try to overwinter those. We'll see.

Brassicas get attacked by whatever friggin bugs eat brassiacas for us here. I gave up on them :(

that's the one thing I like about having a relatively small yard is that it's easy to treat. I don't treat the plants but cutting down on what's around helps.
