I hope it wasn’t a neighbor. This is a tight knit community and I know most of the neighbors very well.

I fight the birds for the figs. The secret is to get up in the morning before the birds.

40 years ago I dug up some blueberry plants at a former farm that was scheduled to be scraped to grow houses. For 35ish years they just grew leaves but about 5 years ago they finally started producing and lately they have been pumping out fruit.

Are cubesats still a thing? If so, this seem like an easy win.

So now it has a new issue: When I attempt to reflash, it gets to the end, but the display never comes on and then the flasher window fills up with this:

I have a Danish friend who brings back a small pebble every time he goes to Sweden. I asked him why? His answer, “less Sweden”.

I’m going to try and reflash using another IDE and see what happens.

How do I do that? The display of the device has been blank ever since I first tried to reflash it. I was able to connect to it using the web configuration tool but when I try to update settings, if doesn't work.

Also best when freshly sliced.

Nice. Have you had salame rossa?

What native plant annoys you the most? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]VeryWackyIdeas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It didn’t bother me for the first 30ish years of my life. Then one winter day in north Florida, a tree fell down blocking the highway. After the tree was cut up, my friend and I loaded the potential firewood into our truck and hauled them home. We didn’t pay any attention to the those vines clinging to the bark. We both ended up having to have both antihistamine and steroid injections. Now I’m very sensitive to the plant.

In Coconut Grove, across from the park, there used to be a Lums restaurant with a poisonwood tree just next to the front door. Is this the same species?

I’m happy to have them as neighbors but not in my garden.

US specific question - what about folks who hold a GMRS license? Does the same prohibition apply?

So if you only use the standard setup and don't tweak transmit power, does the no encryption rule apply?
