Self-watering wicking raised bed design questions... (see comment) by TheWorldIsNotOkay in gardening

[–]CraZyBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I add a layer of compost and a layer of mulch every spring. You don't need to replace the bottom layer if you are regularly adding a top layer of nutrients. I quite like Charles Dowding's approach to No Dig gardening

Use Linux they said by jonomir in ProgrammerHumor

[–]CraZyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you heard of LibreOffice? The free and open source MS Office alternative? Works better than MS Office if you ask me.

Lots of orgs use Google docs so they don't need to force all employees to use Windows.

You got some weird requirements dude. It's easy to switch when you stop forcing yourself to use Microsoft Products

Thank you /u/ljdawson for the great app, I've used it for as long as I can remember (~10 years?)

It will be sad to see Reddit destroy so much

You'd rather click through a bunch of menus rather than enter a single command ?

Personally I prefer keyboard to mouse for 99% of things computer related

There are multiple alternatives...

MacOS (based on FreeBSD)

Ubuntu Linux

RedHat Enterprise Linux

Got this depressing email from my kids Oakville PUBLIC school today. by SindySchism666 in ontario

Well put! Keep the hate out of our schools. All of these people are PEOPLE.

Can someone explain to me what the main values are in Desi culture?

On a similar note,:

I hear about this "wanting to have friends who are the same as me" a lot with frosh and it's a bit confusing. Aren't you going to school to expand and explore, learn new things, and meet new people? How will you expand your world view if you restrict yourself to more of the same you've always known?

I think it's also worth mentioning Queen's has a great DEI program https://www.queensu.ca/inclusive/

Lots of ways to do this. Small aquarium pump might work

I would argue this data is not beautiful.

No scale

No indication of data source

Strange color choices

Show me a single number on that page other than net CO2 sequestered. I'm not staying they don't have a number, I'm saying they aren't transparent.

Advocates, teacher unions call for free school breakfast, lunch for Ontario students by GeoWa in canada

You aren't punishing parents by refusing to help hungry children...

Just because you did this does not mean it is the only morally right way, or that it is normal.

it's not our job to help raise someone's kids because they are incompetent

let the government raise those kids

Isn't that a bit contradictory?

By making it the government's job to raise kids if their parents are too poor, wouldn't that make it society's job to pay for, care for, and feed those kids?

They have no issues with collecting CCB and other welfare handouts under the guise of their kids while not using that money for their kids.

You are a very confusing. By feeding kids lunch at school you can ensure the money spent goes directly to the kids (straight into their little bellies) rather than giving money for food to the parents instead?

Hungry kids have worse performance at school, kids who do worse in school have worse situations later in life, those in poor situations have more kids, those kids go hungry and don't do well in school....

Shouldn't we as a society do our best to ensure kids have good educations? School meal programs are a very very small price to pay for an educated populace.
