The desert is full of life too. It's just a different kind of life.

To try and force the desert to be anything else is ecologically irresponsible: precious resources are wasted to keep the foreign plants alive, and native species are damaged in the process. So it's quite nice to hear your town is not interested in doing that.

One of my cousins in Arizona actually lives in a neighborhood where any plant that would not be naturally living a desert, is strictly prohibited in their gardens.

@Eel
I was wondering what kind of vegetarian protein source from desert area.
Can we cultivate mushroom on desert area inside the building for growing mushroom ?

I don't think mushrooms like the desert very much.

Living in the futuristic year of 2020, you don't really need to worry about having to produce your own vegetarian protein though... Just buy it.

@Anti-Matter Mushrooms need to be in extremely humid places. The desert is the last place they need to be in

Maybe cactuses are more reliable because I know that some "sand people" eat their fruits (but in large volumes they upset the stomach!) and they make drinks from the juices.

@Eel
i searched wrong...for the first time...what an idiot

@Zuljaras As far as I know, our local ancient natives mostly survived on fish and deer.

Does deer count as "vegetarian" protein? Eh? Eh?

@Eel Ofc it is!

"We are what we eat!"

So deer eats grass therefore it is grass. We eat deer so we eat grass therefore we are grass ... nothing is at it would seem.

Some deep stuff right there!

Perfect, that answers Anti's question then.

its dangerous to go alone!
take this.

It’s 1am, don’t make me hungry now.

yeah no joke.
one time i helped make like 21 dozen or so tamales it took like 8 hours.
and 8 minutes to eat them.

Oh wow that’s a lot. Hopefully it was with a fun group of people. Last time I helped make tamales, cousin Linda started talking about her, uh, toad venom “experience” with that desert shaman.

Anyway, I guess I’ll just have a tamal or two for dinner tomorrow.

Speaking of Tamales, if you reverse the word it will become Selamat.
Selamat is one of Indonesian word which means Safe (Selamat), Rescue (Menyelamatkan), Greeting (Selamat pagi / siang / sore / malam / etc), Congratulation, Celebration (Selamat Hari Natal / Merry Christmas).

that sounds so terrible, i guess i forced you to eat tamales now, im a horrible person

i can confidently assure you i know how to rescue tamales.

@Apportal That's just all the sour-faced whiners who expect that Nintendo is going to drop at least three major triple A titles every month, and who are subsequently "justifiably" offended that they didn't get what they so "realistically" demanded... .

@ThanosReXXX Do people really expect every company to drop AAA titles every month? Do you refer to the crowd that say Nintendo will lose the next gen war etc.?

If so they are a really small minority.

There are SOOO many games right now that should be enough for a normal gamers for at least 2-3 years ahead.

@Zuljaras No, they only expect that where Nintendo is concerned, apparently.

Sony can release an upscaled PS4 DLC package as a next gen game and people are laughing and cheering all the way to the bank...

@ThanosReXXX Well that is because people want more of that amazing PS4 game and they do not care about silly labels as "next-gen" games.

We all know that real next gen games will come 3-4 years after the release of the new consoles.

@Zuljaras still, all companies should be measured along the same yard stick, and it's somehow always Nintendo who's critized more harshly than the others.

@ogo79 looks yummy! Making me hungry now I'll see if I can convince the boss lady to make a couple dozen for dinner tonight lol. Wish me luck!!
