I think the best bet would be following recipes. That means finding recipes that minimize 'to taste' instructions. A lot can be done by look and texture, so you can be decent enough for anyone who's not a snob. Also, err on the side of too little salt and put some on the table.
It is the same as other easily spreading plants. In their native habitats there are checks like diseases and predators. When you move them out of those habitats they can thrive at a new level because of the lack of those things.
You can look at wildlife/pollinator gardening. There are different focuses like rewilding or even restoration. There are also a lot of companies willing to sell incredibly invasive plants while calling them nice things, so buy from a reputable source if you do buy plants or seeds.
Absolutely, and just to expand on why they can be wildly inaccurate. Local governments have different ways of updating assessments. Most are simply small increases to the assessment every year. Small enough that they haven't kept up with the market. If you watch, there are usually huge jumps on assessed value when a property sells because that sale value (aka market value) gets recorded as the assessed value.
You can cut cheese with a wire. Imagine having a thin piece of metal through a hole in your ear with weight on it. Your lobe is the cheese the ear ring is the cutter.
When someone would ask, "Who wants to be 100 years old?" My grandpa would respond, "Ask someone who is 99." I think that applies here. When will you feel like you can give up - well, why not now? What will be different when you're 40 or 50? Why wouldn't you want to be dating? Why wouldn't you want your body to work?
As long as the anglosphere doesn't include the USA. Most people here would be able to guess what a sausage roll is but most wouldn't have seen one.
