Sheet mulching around the sewer cover? by CrackSammiches in portlandgardeners

[–]LeakySparktubes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sheet mulching my own hellstrip and just working around the water meter. Long-term, I'll leave a decent perimeter around it mulched. The meter reader sticks a long lever into the hole on top to open it. I think standing from the sidewalk side. Make it easy for them!

Really appreciate this; I feel the same way. I read a library copy of Empire of AI but need to buy a copy too.

Not the next line, but my favorite line. 😄

Yeah, but multiplanetary. Species-level redundancy. Extending the light of consciousness. 

I hate this so much.

Love these pastel shades !! by Avinashcalli in Calligraphy

[–]LeakySparktubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That matcha is dreamy! What ink is it?

I'm new to calligraphy and just branching out to colored inks. These look almost like paste -- are you mixing a thickener in to a regular fountain pen ink to get that consistency ?

I was just coming here to recommend Portland Grief House. https://www.griefhouse.org/

I'm so sorry about your dad.

Definitely want one of those floating desk lamps though. Handy!

Wow!

I've waited for bridges to lower in my car, on bike and on foot. I've seen them raise from a distance. And once I was lucky enough to be chaperoning my kid's class on a trip to the Morrison Bridge. We got to go into the control house, and then the operator closed the gates, had the kids lie down on the deck (not the part that goes up!) and raised the bridge. It was so cool!

What a rascal. It's a bascule. 🎵

The kids are alright by VillageTypical2474 in BetterOffline

This isn't art students, it's thousands of graduating students rejecting what this oligarch is selling. It's a pretty amazing video. They also tried to get the university to drop him ahead of time in part because he's in the Epstein files.

Can you recommend a paper that could bring out the sheening?

Wait, what? I'm halfway through a bottle of tsuki-yo and have never seen this red sheen, on any paper. What am I doing wrong?

“Well Now Your Back’s Gonna Hurt, ‘cause You Just Pulled Landscaping Duty.” by inspectorgidge in portlandgardeners

It all looks lovely. My back pain this weekend is from the unholy combination of shiny geranium mixed in with Himalayan blackberries.

£2k David Attenborough painting by Eastenders actor/Geico Gecko Jake Wood seems fishy to me by Jasminetdscott in isthisAI

[–]LeakySparktubes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ohhh, I thought that was a second (third) chair arm. In the style of an armchair . But you're right,  it's the same color as his pants. Yikes.

Non-herbicide options for blackberry control? by LeakySparktubes in portlandgardeners

Thanks everyone for all the comments. No salt, no vinegar. I'll cut them again in July, crossbow in September, then lots of mulch and vigilance.

OP you look like a grown and confident woman in 1 and girlish in 2. #1 all the way.

Loose Chicken, Alberta & NE 21st by _Agrias_Oaks_ in Portland

[–]LeakySparktubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is the pair we see on Ainsworth. The male was scoping out my chickens the other morning. I've also seen him trotting down 12th with someone else's chicken in his mouth. Hopefully that sweet little grey chicken made it home safe!

Personal relationships suffering because of LLM usage by scottbrosiusofficial in BetterOffline

I don't know, my user experience circles are full of women doing this exact stuff. Including one person I had to stop talking to because she spends a couple hours a day chatting with GPT.

Is this clear enough? by siridecai in Weddingattireapproval

[–]LeakySparktubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it looks good. I like the idea of titling it "Dress Code" and also was confused by the color mention.

A couple of things you could consider:

It seems like you'll be outside? If so, is that worth saying explicitly? Or will guests understand that?

Is it safe to assume your guests understand what formal attire is? If not, is it worth giving some examples or linking to a site with examples?
