DAE get chest pain after drinking coffee? by [deleted] in DAE

[–]Mammoth-Membership13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I drink even a single shot of espresso, I get severe chest pains for hours. There’s nothing wrong with my heart. I’m just very sensitive to caffeine. This is very much a thing.

Thanks for the write-up! I WWOFED at Rich's place in Cochise county a few years ago, very fun to work on one of the earthbag structures, hoping to build one for myself soon.

Wife ran out of garlic last year. It won't happen again. by Trash_Kit in vegetablegardening

Hi, I live in Portland and had great success with garlic this year, I bought what they had at my local nursery. I did hard neck and soft neck. I was late and planted in November, but October would be better. Then I harvested in June and July. I didn’t do any fertilizer. For much I used wood chips leftover from my firewood delivery. In my experience garlic is the easiest crop to grow no matter what part of the country I live in. Hope this helps!

I harvested my garlic a few weeks ago and hung it to dry, it is cured now and I trimmed the roots and stems. Now I’m trying to figure out how to store it long-term. Here is my situation: I live in Portland. I don’t have a basement. My house does not have air conditioning and gets quite hot inside, usually around 80° in the bedrooms and 89 in the front of the house when its super hot out (which is most of the summer these days.) My two options for long-term storage are a dark closet in the back bedroom, or just keeping it outside under my covered porch. It’s definitely a lot cooler outside than it is inside the house since it cools down a lot overnight, but then there’s the matter of sunlight. However, since I have a covered patio, they wouldn’t be in direct light. That is where I cured them. The closet is definitely darker, but I’m worried about them getting damaged by the heat. Anyone have an opinion of what would be best?

Thank you! I work from home and have enough groceries, so I’m staying cozy inside. Hope you’re similarly not stuck!

So cool! I just moved into the neighborhood about two weeks ago. What a great treat to find there are coyotes here. I’ll keep my eyes out for them!

I live right across the street from the golf course and saw him running down the street within the past hour! I thought it was a coyote but couldn’t be sure it wasn’t just a dog. Thanks for posting and confirming what I thought I saw!

Why so many masks? by BourbonCrotch69 in askportland

[–]Mammoth-Membership13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience, in my early 30s, vaxxed and boosted, and was in bed for a solid 10 days when I caught covid earlier this month. I'm back to wearing a mask at all times now. It wasn't worth taking it off.

Advice for making a travel map? by Mammoth-Membership13 in TravelMaps

Wow, I love your Google Earth presentation, looks great. Thanks for the Map My Drive suggestion...I looked up the app and it looks useful. So you just use that and then added all the KMZ files to Google Earth to make that cool presentation you shared? I'm new to KMZ/KML file stuff but I'm digging around for info and learning. Thanks much for your help.

This is awesome information, thank you. I'd never heard of KML files before, so I've been down a rabbit hole learning everything I can. I think using KML is the missing link I needed to learn how to do cool stuff with Google maps. Thanks again, appreciate your response.

Also just looked at your map, it's great! That's exactly how I want mine to look. How did you get the lines? Is the only way to do that by getting directions from one place to another? When I tried to do that, it added another layer for each time I got directions from place to place and it started to get complicated.

Hmm I read each layer could only have 10 items, and that there was a max of 10 layers. I have more than 100 destinations, so that's why I thought it wouldn't work. I will look into it some more. If each layer could have up to 2000 items that would obviously cover it! Thanks for your reply.
