How do you make a homemade Hedgehog House? To make your hedgehog house you need an old box such as a wooden wine crate, wood to make a tunnel, and some dry leaves, hay or straw to fill the box to keep the hedgehogs nice and cosy. Put it in the quietest part of the garden and cover with leaves or logs to make it look as natural as possible.

I was playing Lock On, for some 1.95 euros, pretty cool flight sim, I had one HORRIFIC crash above the lake at dusk, I was doing stunts in an SU-27, when I thought I was level, turns out, I was inverted. And instead if climbing, I dove STRAIGHT into the lake, scared the frick out of me… TL;DR, explosions would be cool
I trench ran the canyon before the last update inside where the river is from west to east (and then north) and the first part looked horrible. Lot of clipping and terrain issues. Even glitchy holes in the world.
Hey AFP, have you ever considered trying out DCS? It just seems like it could give you plenty more material to work with and make new videos (not that there's shortage of good videos on your channel)- I'm just curious if you've thought about it and possibly what the reasoning is behind it.
A shillelagh (/ʃɪˈleɪli/ shi-LAY-lee or /ʃɪˈleɪlə/ shi-LAY-lə; Irish: sail éille or saill éalaigh[1] [ˈsalʲ ˈeːl̠ʲə], "thonged willow") is a wooden walking stick and club or cudgel, typically made from a stout knotty blackthorn stick with a large knob at the top. It is associated with Ireland and Irish folklore. Other spelling variants include shillelah, shillalah, and shillaly.

The geographic name Shillelagh derives from Síol Éalaigh "Descendants of Éalach".[4][5][6][7] Construction Shillelaghs are traditionally made from blackthorn (sloe) wood (Prunus spinosa) or oak.[8] With the scarcity of oak in Ireland the term came increasingly to denote a blackthorn stick,[9] and indeed blackthorn stick is sometimes glossed as equivalent to shillelagh.[10][11] Wood from the root was prized since this would be used for the knob,[8] and was less prone to crack or break during use. Curing and polishing Most commonly, the chosen wood would be placed up a chimney to cure for a duration of several months to several years;[a] the accumulated layer of soot gave the shillelagh its typical black shiny appearance.[4][8] The less frequent methods were to bury the shank in a dung pile, or even in slack lime.[4] The stick may require protection from its dung bath by being wrapped in well-greased oiled brown paper (steeped in hog's lard or oil).[12] Both of the previous methods would be finished with oils or sealants, etc. A further coat of special soot finish may be applied,[8] or a mixture of black lead and grease rubbed on with woolen cloth to a polishing finish.[12] Some examples may just be given a coat of black paint.[13] Rarer still was brining, where the shank was placed into a basin of saltwater. The saltwater, being a hypertonic solution, would pull moisture from the shank with little warping.[citation needed] One isolated case of this brining method being used, by Charlotte Brontë's uncle named Hugh, has been documented. Hugh Brontë is said to have rubbed train oil (whale oil) on the stick using chamois leather, and applied magpie blood to give it a darker appearance.[14][15] Dimensions Oaken shillelaghs in various stages of completion They are commonly the length of a walking stick (distance from the floor to one's wrist with elbow slightly bent),[citation needed] or rather longer, about 4 feet or 5 feet, as opposed to the walking stick measuring about 3 feet.[16] In the broad sense, the Shillealagh bata or sticks could include short mallets only 1 - 2 feet long to long poles 6 - 9 feet.[8] Fittings Shillelaghs may be hollowed at the heavy "hitting" end and filled with molten lead to increase the weight beyond the typical two pounds; this sort of shillelagh is known as a 'loaded stick'.[b][8][17] The loaded types needed to have its knob fitted with iron ferrules to maintain structural integrity.[17] But the sticks also have iron ferrules fitted onto their narrow end as well.[14][18][8] Shillelagh may also have a heavy knob for a handle which can be used for striking.[9] Shillelaghs may also have a strap attached, similar to commercially made walking sticks, to place around the holder's wrist.[19] History The shillelagh was originally used for settling disputes in a gentlemanly manner - like a duel with pistols or swords. Modern practitioners of bataireacht study the use of the shillelagh for self-defence and as a martial art. Of the practice, researcher J. W. Hurley writes: Methods of shillelagh fighting have evolved over a period of thousands of years, from the spear, staff, axe and sword fighting of the Irish. There is some evidence which suggests that the use of Irish stick weapons may have evolved in a progression from a reliance on long spears and wattles, to shorter spears and wattles, to the shillelagh, alpeen,[c] blackthorn (walking-stick) and short cudgel. By the 19th century Irish shillelagh-fighting had evolved into a practice which involved the use of three basic types of weapons, sticks which were long, medium or short in length.[22] Folklore and balladry Shillelaghs are sometimes referred to in a similar context in folk songs. In the ballad "Finnegan's Wake" occurs the phrase "Shillelagh law did all engage", signifying that a brawl has broken out;[23] "shillelagh law" itself has been explained as meaning the accepted rule governing the usage of the weapon.[24] The anti-recruiting folk song "Arthur McBride", where the recruiters are struck with a shillelagh,[25][26] and in the 19th-century song "Rocky Road to Dublin", in which references are made to fashioning a shillelagh ("I cut a stout blackthorn"), and using it ("shillalah"[27]) to hold a tied bag over one's shoulder, and using it as a striking weapon.[28] Charles Dibdin the younger wrote a song entitled "The Twig of Shelaly",[29] later reprinted as "The Twig of Shillelah".[30] Bing Crosby wrote a song entitled "Two Shillelagh O'Sullivan". [31] Modern usage The Jeweled Shillelagh The shillelagh came to be regarded as a stereotypical symbol of Irishness in popular culture,[32] particularly in an Irish-American context. Members of a number of Irish regiments in the British Armed Forces have traditionally carried Blackthorn sticks, including officers of the Irish Guards[33], the Royal Irish Regiment and the Royal Dragoon Guards. Officers of the Fighting 69th regiment of the United States Army National Guard also carry shillelaghs as rank badges in parades.[34] In sports, the Boston Celtics logo has a leprechaun leaning on his shillelagh, and it also features with the leprechaun on some logos of Brothers Rugby league teams in Australia. In San Diego, Padres broadcaster Mark Grant popularised the shillelagh as a rallying call, by using terms like "Shillelagh Power" to describe late-game heroics by the Padres. The success of the phrase led the San Diego Padres store to carry inflatable shillelaghs. Similarly, in the college games of American football, a Jeweled Shillelagh is the trophy given to the winner of the rivalry game between the USC Trojans and Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Professional wrestler Finlay carried a shillelagh to the ring in December 2006 as an "illegal weapon".[citation needed] A number of items take their name from the shillelegah, including the MGM-51 Shillelagh anti-tank missile,[33] and several aircraft of the 357th Fighter Group which were named for the club, and had similar representative nose art.[citation needed] In the tabletop game Dungeons and Dragons, 'shillelagh' is a low-level spell used by casters to make simple clubs into powerful bludgeoning weapons.[35]

The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a type of domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). Chickens are one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of 23.7 billion as of 2018.[1] up from more than 19 billion in 2011.[2] There are more chickens in the world than any other bird or domesticated fowl.[2] Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food (consuming both their meat and eggs) and, less commonly, as pets. Originally raised for cockfighting or for special ceremonies, chickens were not kept for food until the Hellenistic period (4th-2nd centuries BC).[3][4] Genetic studies have pointed to multiple maternal origins in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia,[5] but with the clade found in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa originating in the Indian subcontinent. From ancient India, the domesticated chicken spread to Lydia in western Asia Minor, and to Greece by the 5th century BC.[6] Fowl had been known in Egypt since the mid-15th century BC, with the "bird that gives birth every day" having come to Egypt from the land between Syria and Shinar, Babylonia, according to the annals of Thutmose III.[7][8][9]

The potato is a root vegetable native to the Americas, a starchy tuber of the plant Solanum tuberosum, and the plant itself is a perennial in the nightshade family, Solanaceae.[2] Wild potato species, originating in modern-day Peru, can be found throughout the Americas, from the United States to southern Chile.[3] The potato was originally believed to have been domesticated by indigenous peoples of the Americas independently in multiple locations,[4] but later genetic testing of the wide variety of cultivars and wild species traced a single origin for potatoes. In the area of present-day southern Peru and extreme northwestern Bolivia, from a species in the Solanum brevicaule complex, potatoes were domesticated approximately 7,000-10,000 years ago.[5][6][7] In the Andes region of South America, where the species is indigenous, some close relatives of the potato are cultivated. Potatoes were introduced to Europe from the Americas in the second half of the 16th century by the Spanish. Today they are a staple food in many parts of the world and an integral part of much of the world's food supply. As of 2014, potatoes were the world's fourth-largest food crop after maize (corn), wheat, and rice.[8] Following millennia of selective breeding, there are now over 5,000 different types of potatoes.[6] Over 99% of presently cultivated potatoes worldwide descended from varieties that originated in the lowlands of south-central Chile.[9][10] The importance of the potato as a food source and culinary ingredient varies by region and is still changing. It remains an essential crop in Europe, especially Northern and Eastern Europe, where per capita production is still the highest in the world, while the most rapid expansion in production over the past few decades has occurred in southern and eastern Asia, with China and India leading the world in overall production as of 2018. Like the tomato, the potato is a nightshade in the genus Solanum, and the vegetative and fruiting parts of the potato contain the toxin solanine which is dangerous for human consumption. Normal potato tubers that have been grown and stored properly produce glycoalkaloids in amounts small enough to be negligible to human health, but if green sections of the plant (namely sprouts and skins) are exposed to light, the tuber can accumulate a high enough concentration of glycoalkaloids to affect human health.[11][12] The English word potato comes from Spanish patata (the name used in Spain). The Royal Spanish Academy says the Spanish word is a hybrid of the Taíno batata ('sweet potato') and the Quechua papa ('potato').[13][14] The name originally referred to the sweet potato although the two plants are not closely related. The 16th-century English herbalist John Gerard referred to sweet potatoes as common potatoes, and used the terms bastard potatoes and Virginia potatoes for the species we now call potato.[15] In many of the chronicles detailing agriculture and plants, no distinction is made between the two.[16] Potatoes are occasionally referred to as Irish potatoes or white potatoes in the United States, to distinguish them from sweet potatoes.[15] The name spud for a small potato comes from the digging of soil (or a hole) prior to the planting of potatoes. The word has an unknown origin and was originally (c. 1440) used as a term for a short knife or dagger, probably related to the Latin spad- a word root meaning "sword"; compare Spanish espada, English "spade", and spadroon. It subsequently transferred over to a variety of digging tools. Around 1845, the name transferred to the tuber itself, the first record of this usage being in New Zealand English.[17] The origin of the word spud has erroneously been attributed to an 18th-century activist group dedicated to keeping the potato out of Britain, calling itself The Society for the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet (S.P.U.D.). It was Mario Pei's 1949 The Story of Language that can be blamed for the word's false origin. Pei writes, "the potato, for its part, was in disrepute some centuries ago. Some Englishmen who did not fancy potatoes formed a Society for the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet. The initials of the main words in this title gave rise to spud." Like most other pre-20th century acronymic origins, this is false, and there is no evidence that a Society for the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet ever existed.[18][14] Potato plants are herbaceous perennials that grow about 60 cm (24 in) high, depending on variety, with the leaves dying back after flowering, fruiting and tuber formation. They bear white, pink, red, blue, or purple flowers with yellow stamens. In general, the tubers of varieties with white flowers have white skins, while those of varieties with colored flowers tend to have pinkish skins.[19] Potatoes are mostly cross-pollinated by insects such as bumblebees, which carry pollen from other potato plants, though a substantial amount of self-fertilizing occurs as well. Tubers form in response to decreasing day length, although this tendency has been minimized in commercial varieties.[20] After flowering, potato plants produce small green fruits that resemble green cherry tomatoes, each containing about 300 seeds. Like all parts of the plant except the tubers, the fruit contain the toxic alkaloid solanine and are therefore unsuitable for consumption. All new potato varieties are grown from seeds, also called "true potato seed", "TPS" or "botanical seed" to distinguish it from seed tubers. New varieties grown from seed can be propagated vegetatively by planting tubers, pieces of tubers cut to include at least one or two eyes, or cuttings, a practice used in greenhouses for the production of healthy seed tubers. Plants propagated from tubers are clones of the parent, whereas those propagated from seed produce a range of different varieties.

Etymology
The name shillelagh is the Hiberno-English corruption of the Irish (Gaelic) form sail éille, where sail means "willow" or "cudgel" and éille is genitive for iall meaning "thong", "strap", "leash", "string", etc.[2][3]
As an alternate etymology, Mrs. S. C. Hall as well as P. W. Joyce have written that the name may have derived from the wood being sourced from forest land in the village or barony of Shillelagh, County Wicklow. The geographic name Shillelagh derives from Síol Éalaigh "Descendants of Éalach".[4][5][6][7]
Construction
Shillelaghs are traditionally made from blackthorn (sloe) wood (Prunus spinosa) or oak.[8] With the scarcity of oak in Ireland the term came increasingly to denote a blackthorn stick,[9] and indeed blackthorn stick is sometimes glossed as equivalent to shillelagh.[10][11]
Wood from the root was prized since this would be used for the knob,[8] and was less prone to crack or break during use.
Curing and polishing
Most commonly, the chosen wood would be placed up a chimney to cure for a duration of several months to several years;[a] the accumulated layer of soot gave the shillelagh its typical black shiny appearance.[4][8]
The less frequent methods were to bury the shank in a dung pile, or even in slack lime.[4] The stick may require protection from its dung bath by being wrapped in well-greased oiled brown paper (steeped in hog's lard or oil).[12]
Both of the previous methods would be finished with oils or sealants, etc. A further coat of special soot finish may be applied,[8] or a mixture of black lead and grease rubbed on with woolen cloth to a polishing finish.[12] Some examples may just be given a coat of black paint.[13]
Rarer still was brining, where the shank was placed into a basin of saltwater. The saltwater, being a hypertonic solution, would pull moisture from the shank with little warping.[citation needed] One isolated case of this brining method being used, by Charlotte Brontë's uncle named Hugh, has been documented. Hugh Brontë is said to have rubbed train oil (whale oil) on the stick using chamois leather, and applied magpie blood to give it a darker appearance.[14][15]
Dimensions
Oaken shillelaghs in various stages of completion
They are commonly the length of a walking stick (distance from the floor to one's wrist with elbow slightly bent),[citation needed] or rather longer, about 4 feet or 5 feet, as opposed to the walking stick measuring about 3 feet.[16] In the broad sense, the Shillealagh bata or sticks could include short mallets only 1 - 2 feet long to long poles 6 - 9 feet.[8]
Fittings
Shillelaghs may be hollowed at the heavy "hitting" end and filled with molten lead to increase the weight beyond the typical two pounds; this sort of shillelagh is known as a 'loaded stick'.[b][8][17]
The loaded types needed to have its knob fitted with iron ferrules to maintain structural integrity.[17] But the sticks also have iron ferrules fitted onto their narrow end as well.[14][18][8] Shillelagh may also have a heavy knob for a handle which can be used for striking.[9] Shillelaghs may also have a strap attached, similar to commercially made walking sticks, to place around the holder's wrist.[19]
History
The shillelagh was originally used for settling disputes in a gentlemanly manner - like a duel with pistols or swords. Modern practitioners of bataireacht study the use of the shillelagh for self-defence and as a martial art. Of the practice, researcher J. W. Hurley writes:
Methods of shillelagh fighting have evolved over a period of thousands of years, from the spear, staff, axe and sword fighting of the Irish. There is some evidence which suggests that the use of Irish stick weapons may have evolved in a progression from a reliance on long spears and wattles, to shorter spears and wattles, to the shillelagh, alpeen,[c] blackthorn (walking-stick) and short cudgel. By the 19th century Irish shillelagh-fighting had evolved into a practice which involved the use of three basic types of weapons, sticks which were long, medium or short in length.[22]
Folklore and balladry
Shillelaghs are sometimes referred to in a similar context in folk songs. In the ballad "Finnegan's Wake" occurs the phrase "Shillelagh law did all engage", signifying that a brawl has broken out;[23] "shillelagh law" itself has been explained as meaning the accepted rule governing the usage of the weapon.[24]
The anti-recruiting folk song "Arthur McBride", where the recruiters are struck with a shillelagh,[25][26] and in the 19th-century song "Rocky Road to Dublin", in which references are made to fashioning a shillelagh ("I cut a stout blackthorn"), and using it ("shillalah"[27]) to hold a tied bag over one's shoulder, and using it as a striking weapon.[28]
Charles Dibdin the younger wrote a song entitled "The Twig of Shelaly",[29] later reprinted as "The Twig of Shillelah".[30]
Bing Crosby wrote a song entitled "Two Shillelagh O'Sullivan". [31]
Modern usage
The Jeweled Shillelagh
The shillelagh came to be regarded as a stereotypical symbol of Irishness in popular culture,[32] particularly in an Irish-American context.
Members of a number of Irish regiments in the British Armed Forces have traditionally carried Blackthorn sticks, including officers of the Irish Guards[33], the Royal Irish Regiment and the Royal Dragoon Guards. Officers of the Fighting 69th regiment of the United States Army National Guard also carry shillelaghs as rank badges in parades.[34]
In sports, the Boston Celtics logo has a leprechaun leaning on his shillelagh, and it also features with the leprechaun on some logos of Brothers Rugby league teams in Australia. In San Diego, Padres broadcaster Mark Grant popularised the shillelagh as a rallying call, by using terms like "Shillelagh Power" to describe late-game heroics by the Padres. The success of the phrase led the San Diego Padres store to carry inflatable shillelaghs. Similarly, in the college games of American football, a Jeweled Shillelagh is the trophy given to the winner of the rivalry game between the USC Trojans and Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Professional wrestler Finlay carried a shillelagh to the ring in December 2006 as an "illegal weapon".[citation needed]
A number of items take their name from the shillelegah, including the MGM-51 Shillelagh anti-tank missile,[33] and several aircraft of the 357th Fighter Group which were named for the club, and had similar representative nose art.[citation needed] In the tabletop game Dungeons and Dragons, 'shillelagh' is a low-level spell used by casters to make simple clubs into powerful bludgeoning weapons.[35]
0:33 oh no...anything but Florida Men please lol
Man I love your videos ! It’s a perfect example of what pilots are not supposed to do lmao
Heyho, Would you consider doing some more Shared Cocktpit VATSIM videos, like the ones you did ages ago?
Landing a Citation with gear up in the Grand Canyon, what a steam party!
Breaking News: Jets Vs. Props war breaks out at grand canyon national park. Jets take a fast flyby approach to scare of the invaders, but the Props stick together in a pack, ready to claim some ground. Another tribe of props, the Caravans, join in to help take a bit more ground, while a lone Jet attempts to reclaim ground without landing gear. This is your reporter, Crazed, signing off.
Unrelated question..... Have you heard of Robotech, Macross, Veritech Fighters, and would it be cool to pilot simulation an engagement against alien attacks? Is the VF-1J or Veritech Fighters be cool to simulate on here? With simulated weapons?
No injuries for windmills in the process. Good job buzzing the windmills boys 🤣🤣
was this around the denver area? i was flying yesterday from sfo-den and i was lagging a ton and there was a ton of the little dahers
Nobody:
Absolutely no one:
Me: Sees new AFP95 video
Time to watch more planes eat shit.
Idve loved to see yall land vertically in the U cavern, roll down, and launch up the otherside like a halfpipe
1:01, we salute you Mats
You are the best Flight Sim TH-camr I have found please continue you are great

Dude... I've watched Your all videos multiple times, and I need more of them. This is too little, too short. I need longer shit! Especially when You did tower, that was funny AF.
I would love to fly with You all, but I'm stuck into FSX 😭
The A320NEO...
Stalking its prey...
waiting to attack the Beechcrafts....
I can imagine after that citation Learjet lands, the pilot gets out and gives y’all a ticket! If only the game was any more realistic that would be awesome.
Amazing graphics! Cannot wait to get my setup for Christmas
Not gonna lie, I kind of expected all of the Beechcraft to turn and eat the Citation at the end :D
How much money would I need to get the desktop computer, updated program and controls to fly with you or others? What PC machine runs this simulator well? Is there an Apple version of this?
4 airplanes, random #5 goes inverted and into the ground... rajah, inverted missing-man formation is GO.
I got an ad right as you took the second screenshot and while the ad was loading i got a brief 3 second view of it and damn was it magnificent
Going grownup status.. love your utubes. Keeping me sane with laughter 🤠🙅🏻
I want that AOPA magazine cover on a shirt. Now.
Is anyone else surprised that the FBI hasn't raided his house yet?
@FBI lol
Some one needs to make a official dlc for groundpound69 which adds a supersonic hot air balloon.
No because its a game. The comment bureau should raid your house.
'that sounds like a problem for future us' procastination at its finest 👍
"We got a Citation passing left to right. Passing under us."
*to go through us*

3:34 No sir you are NOT the only one! Its clear we are the few with good music tastes....
I love your videos, never fails to make me laugh. Thank you!
The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a type of domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). Chickens are one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of 23.7 billion as of 2018.[1] up from more than 19 billion in 2011.[2] There are more chickens in the world than any other bird or domesticated fowl.[2] Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food (consuming both their meat and eggs) and, less commonly, as pets. Originally raised for cockfighting or for special ceremonies, chickens were not kept for food until the Hellenistic period (4th-2nd centuries BC).[3][4]
Genetic studies have pointed to multiple maternal origins in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia,[5] but with the clade found in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa originating in the Indian subcontinent. From ancient India, the domesticated chicken spread to Lydia in western Asia Minor, and to Greece by the 5th century BC.[6] Fowl had been known in Egypt since the mid-15th century BC, with the "bird that gives birth every day" having come to Egypt from the land between Syria and Shinar, Babylonia, according to the annals of Thutmose III.[7][8][9]
Always good to watch a video from AirFrenchAppleCroisant669
I saw that your scenery doesn’t look too hot. Turn on Bing Streaming in “Data” settings to make the scenery better. It might’ve been turned off for some reason after the update.
Yes! GroundPound69 and DeSinc making FS2020 videos!
I think the Grand Canyon needs some additional love from Asobo Studios.
Why do I love this flying fun so much. Getting addicted. Honey not happy.

The potato is a root vegetable native to the Americas, a starchy tuber of the plant Solanum tuberosum, and the plant itself is a perennial in the nightshade family, Solanaceae.[2]
Wild potato species, originating in modern-day Peru, can be found throughout the Americas, from the United States to southern Chile.[3] The potato was originally believed to have been domesticated by indigenous peoples of the Americas independently in multiple locations,[4] but later genetic testing of the wide variety of cultivars and wild species traced a single origin for potatoes. In the area of present-day southern Peru and extreme northwestern Bolivia, from a species in the Solanum brevicaule complex, potatoes were domesticated approximately 7,000-10,000 years ago.[5][6][7] In the Andes region of South America, where the species is indigenous, some close relatives of the potato are cultivated.
Potatoes were introduced to Europe from the Americas in the second half of the 16th century by the Spanish. Today they are a staple food in many parts of the world and an integral part of much of the world's food supply. As of 2014, potatoes were the world's fourth-largest food crop after maize (corn), wheat, and rice.[8]
Following millennia of selective breeding, there are now over 5,000 different types of potatoes.[6] Over 99% of presently cultivated potatoes worldwide descended from varieties that originated in the lowlands of south-central Chile.[9][10]
The importance of the potato as a food source and culinary ingredient varies by region and is still changing. It remains an essential crop in Europe, especially Northern and Eastern Europe, where per capita production is still the highest in the world, while the most rapid expansion in production over the past few decades has occurred in southern and eastern Asia, with China and India leading the world in overall production as of 2018.
Like the tomato, the potato is a nightshade in the genus Solanum, and the vegetative and fruiting parts of the potato contain the toxin solanine which is dangerous for human consumption. Normal potato tubers that have been grown and stored properly produce glycoalkaloids in amounts small enough to be negligible to human health, but if green sections of the plant (namely sprouts and skins) are exposed to light, the tuber can accumulate a high enough concentration of glycoalkaloids to affect human health.[11][12]
The English word potato comes from Spanish patata (the name used in Spain). The Royal Spanish Academy says the Spanish word is a hybrid of the Taíno batata ('sweet potato') and the Quechua papa ('potato').[13][14] The name originally referred to the sweet potato although the two plants are not closely related. The 16th-century English herbalist John Gerard referred to sweet potatoes as common potatoes, and used the terms bastard potatoes and Virginia potatoes for the species we now call potato.[15] In many of the chronicles detailing agriculture and plants, no distinction is made between the two.[16] Potatoes are occasionally referred to as Irish potatoes or white potatoes in the United States, to distinguish them from sweet potatoes.[15]
The name spud for a small potato comes from the digging of soil (or a hole) prior to the planting of potatoes. The word has an unknown origin and was originally (c. 1440) used as a term for a short knife or dagger, probably related to the Latin spad- a word root meaning "sword"; compare Spanish espada, English "spade", and spadroon. It subsequently transferred over to a variety of digging tools. Around 1845, the name transferred to the tuber itself, the first record of this usage being in New Zealand English.[17] The origin of the word spud has erroneously been attributed to an 18th-century activist group dedicated to keeping the potato out of Britain, calling itself The Society for the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet (S.P.U.D.). It was Mario Pei's 1949 The Story of Language that can be blamed for the word's false origin. Pei writes, "the potato, for its part, was in disrepute some centuries ago. Some Englishmen who did not fancy potatoes formed a Society for the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet. The initials of the main words in this title gave rise to spud." Like most other pre-20th century acronymic origins, this is false, and there is no evidence that a Society for the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet ever existed.[18][14]
Potato plants are herbaceous perennials that grow about 60 cm (24 in) high, depending on variety, with the leaves dying back after flowering, fruiting and tuber formation. They bear white, pink, red, blue, or purple flowers with yellow stamens. In general, the tubers of varieties with white flowers have white skins, while those of varieties with colored flowers tend to have pinkish skins.[19] Potatoes are mostly cross-pollinated by insects such as bumblebees, which carry pollen from other potato plants, though a substantial amount of self-fertilizing occurs as well. Tubers form in response to decreasing day length, although this tendency has been minimized in commercial varieties.[20]
After flowering, potato plants produce small green fruits that resemble green cherry tomatoes, each containing about 300 seeds. Like all parts of the plant except the tubers, the fruit contain the toxic alkaloid solanine and are therefore unsuitable for consumption. All new potato varieties are grown from seeds, also called "true potato seed", "TPS" or "botanical seed" to distinguish it from seed tubers. New varieties grown from seed can be propagated vegetatively by planting tubers, pieces of tubers cut to include at least one or two eyes, or cuttings, a practice used in greenhouses for the production of healthy seed tubers. Plants propagated from tubers are clones of the parent, whereas those propagated from seed produce a range of different varieties.
I'm surprised you haven't gotten TrackIR yet! I've been using it for Flight Sims and Arma 3 for years! Definitely a necessity.
At this point AFP95 is on an FBI watchlist for multiple illegal videos
I remember that guy with the VHS theme song covers!
""Want adventure? Come with me!"
Whats his name
