  • Early March New Gardeners Thread

    Jump

  • Peas and beans! Great recommendation. Did a little looking and they can grow in five gallon buckets, which should be perfect. Wish I could do more viney plants like melons but my space is extremely tight. I'm going to start my lettuce and carrots earlier this year so they have a chance to do something before it gets real hot out. Temps here are generally pretty nice, though I did lose an entire batch of black swallowtail caterpillars to the heat two years ago. Those little buggers can't take much above 85F.

  • Good options for vegetables or herbs to start from seed in zone 7a? I've only had success with marigolds and thai basil from seed, and I'm working on a more limited budget this year, so I'm trying to do more seeds rather than starter plants. Also considering trying peas this year.

  • I was the target of a harassment campaign on Reddit as a teen. This is my story.

    Jump

  • Reddit enables unhinged people to be awful. I never had anything as bad as your issue happen, but I did have a user who I once disagreed with continue to follow me around and message me for years after that minor disagreement, claiming that I made them suicidal. I eventually got sick of them and blocked them, but it was bizarre. People like that shouldn't have access to social media sites.

  • This is an excellent read. Thanks for sharing.

  • What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?

    Jump

  • Hard disagree on body wash vs soap. Soap always leaves a weird filmy feeling on my skin no matter what brand I use. Plus having to lather up the bar is annoying and I don't want to deal with wet washcloths in the shower. Give me a poof and a bottle of body wash any day.

  • Starbucks accused of manipulating app payments for $900 million profit

    Jump

  • This tracks. I get Starbucks giftcards (as gifts, not for myself) and typically load them into the app so I can order ahead and spend less time waiting at the store. It pisses me off to no end that when I get to the last dollar or two, I can't use it without reloading like $20 onto the app. I refuse to do that and lose the money.

  • US bans pharmacy Rite Aid from facial recognition use

    Jump

  • Good. Now they need to start enforcing bans on corporate facial recognition technology use everywhere.

  • So embarrassing when you show up in the same thing

  • So embarrassing! Even that gaudy sash doesn't hide it!

  • There are some that do themed "Time Traveler" days where guests are encouraged to dress up in steampunk and sci fi costumes. I love going on those days, you always see tons of Trekkies, Whovians, and Jedi running around.

  • I want to record but I'm in a two party state and I'm afraid that they're either going to refuse or fire me for trying to record the conversation.

  • No, it's not a union job. Corporate.

    Jump

  • I would have loved to have something like this when I was a kid. Even as an adult, some of that equipment looks awesome. The only thing it's lacking is something to squish myself between or roll up in tightly.

  • Pretty much anywhere! They like sheltered places like under shrubs and in brush, but they'll also sleep on the open ground or the water, like you've probably seen ducks and geese doing.

  • What can you tell me about Bluesky?

    Jump

  • I wanted to like Mastodon but couldn't. The only reason I used microblogging services like Twitter was to shitpost about Vampire: The Masquerade. Said game includes lots of death, blood, and other topics that make some folks uncomfortable. On Twitter, the atmosphere was very "don't like, don't read", but Mastodon has an intense culture about using content warnings on anything that might make someone marginally uncomfortable. I'm cool with that, but I can't do it on my shitposting or it sort of ruins the joke. Bluesky doesn't have that atmosphere.

  • A friend of mine created similar detailing on the leather jacket they made. It involved hand-cutting tiny deltas out of plastic, adhering it to the jacket, then painting it with some kind of leather protectant to create the embossed effect. They're not sure how well it will hold up over time but it looked great on first wear.
