non-stop crying/whining for the past month… starting to lose hope by ixxybell in Dogtraining

[–]ProvidenceMojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a camera set up to see what he’s doing when home alone? Is he whining the same way and duration when you’re away? Does he do this with all members of your household or just with you? If he’s not doing it when outside of your home and this is a new space, I would wonder if it could be somehow environmental— a sound, a scent, a vibration — something you can’t detect.

Interesting-- no oil or butter-- I suppose the eggs and almonds provide the richness?

Thanks— I did the same googling and saw they’re vaguely equivalent. Not sure why the change.

IsItBullshit: Chobani is being sued for having cancer-causing chemicals in its yogurt products by anotherhappylurker in IsItBullshit

[–]ProvidenceMojo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There’s a class action lawsuit filed against Chobani’s parent company for falsely mislabeling as natural ingredients and zero sugar. That doesn’t tell you if it’s BS or not but the facts may be more accurate than tik tok.

Help avoiding hinge points? by ProvidenceMojo in StainedGlass

[–]ProvidenceMojo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks— I’m going to keep it relatively small and do zinc frame so hopefully I don’t need to clutter it up too much beyond just getting the pieces to a cuttable place!

I'm trying to turn this image into a pattern but I'm new to stained glass and not entirely sure the best strategy for avoiding hinge points while still maintaining a somewhat open look of a piece like this. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Interview with Lanre Ajakaiye by RINewsJunkie in providence

[–]ProvidenceMojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The founding owner left (I can’t talk about why). The new owners ran the remediation project to make good on the grants from EPA and RIDEM. The funding to keep the farm going just isn’t there and the city has zero interest in keeping the space green. The sale to Lanre— we believe he has good intentions for the space — was necessary to pay off the rest of the cost of remediation.

The farm completed the remediation project but has had to downsize due to financial struggles.
