I’ve recently tried mixing the used coffee grounds in baking soda, and I’m seeing a very visible chemical reaction. I haven’t tried putting it in the ground yet though.
Coffee grounds aren’t very good fertilizer, they still need to decompose. Better to mix them in your compost pile and wait til the compost is finished to use it.
Regarding acidity, like the other guy said, used grounds aren’t very acidic. But ultimately, the pH question is going to depend on lots of factors, including the pH of your existing soil and the optimum pH of the plants you’re growing. Sometimes you want to add acidic amendments. Where I live, there’s so much calcium carbonate in the soil, no amount of acidic compost would even make a dent in the pH

“We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers.”
2 person crews was not an issue put on the table at all by the unions in 2022. The only reason they’re even able to bring it to the table now is because they’ve made progress on sick leave and scheduling systems, which were their priorities in 2022. You really reaching for something negative here
The party realignment was still well underway during the Nixon Admin, as he purposefully courted George Wallace voters who were white segregationists and disaffected conservative Democrats. Both parties used to have conservative and liberal caucuses, and where a specific politician stood on an issue couldn’t typically be pinpointed by the letter behind their name, but Nixon’s Southern Strategy was the beginning of the end of that.
The movie that comes to mind for me is Matango. It’s a 1963 Japanese horror film by Ishirô Honda (the director of the Godzilla movies) that IMDb describes as “Shipwrecked survivors slowly transform into mushrooms.”....
You demanding more evidence right now and saying these students’ project “is concerning” is not having a conversation about the validity of their claims, it’s just being petulant. Saying, “I’ll be interested to see the specs” or “I’ll keep an eye out for testing data before I believe this” would convey the same thing without coming off like an asshole
