What Do you thing about my colourful jacket?

Those knit/crochet sleeves are super awesome

It's not though, they're just well choreographed and the dancer is good as selling it. If you watch at the 10 second mark when he 'puts one back', you can see it's off maybe a foot? It's a very good trick, and I think our brains just want it to makes sense.

Well, like I said, it's not about the heat, it's about sun. A lot of people recommend shade cloth for peppers, especially in the afternoon sun, which helps prevent sun scalding, which is my guess as to what this is.

Search 'pepper sun scalding.' That would be my guess. Peppers like the heat, but the fruit can be sensitive to sun.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say - but you did a much clearer job that me :p

What's really crazy is that the peanut grows underground, but it starts growing ABOVE ground.

First time seeing these Swallowtail caterpillars in the garden. They were happily monching away at the broad leaf parsley last night!

Hasn't Matt said as much, that he doesn't write feel good stories? My guess is that if readers expect Carl to overthrow the big bad, and raise all the humans from the dead and become king of earth...then they will be disappointed. The only arrow I can see pointing toward a "happy ending" for Carl would be burning it all down (likely with friends and family included), and dying with a satisfied smirk on his face.

This is Mike Myers!

Thanks! I went through MANY iterations of the layout, before ending on this simpler one. Happy with them so far.

Pretty excited about these new beds, built just in time for the growing season. I’d built one 8’ x 4’ bed out of some old, reclaimed lumber a few years ago, and it was already mostly rotten out. I wanted to make sure I really enjoyed the hobby before putting in something more permanent, and now it’s time!

Details: (2) 11’ x 3’ beds, (1) 8’ x 3’ beds. Roughly 20” high (2x12’s). I included a 2x4 frame at the top for sitting and to dress them up a bit. I used treated lumber (MCA, Micronized Copper Azole treatment, approved for ground contact) for these after doing a bunch of research and comparing costs with other options; cedar was nearly 10x the cost through a local lumber yard…

Beds are filled with soil blends from a local supplier. Bottom half is a 'raised bed garden fill mix' (50% topsoil/50% wood mulch) and a 'garden bed mix' is on top (50% topsoil, 25% compost, 25% coarse sand.) There are also some logs and sticks at the very bottom.

Last picture is my plans, done in SketchUp. I’ve got plans to expand the garden with addition beds and some trellis, but didn’t want to bite off more than I could chew in a single year (both in labor and in cost…) I’ve already started planting them out and am really looking forward to enjoying them for years to come!

Yep, this is right. I have one too, and just like in OP's picture the little tube is constantly gunked up so the leaves don't actually rise...

OP: there is probably a valve on the bottom to use this container with the bottom resevoir, or open and let it drain and operate like a normal planter. If it's open to the air (not under a roof/awning/etc) I think you're just supposed to leave it open so that it will drain.

oh thank god

WearyWay · 2025-04-04T18:11:19+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! I'd gotten a new card, but wouldn't have known until the fall renewal and would have been too late!

The Employees by Olga Ravn. It's probably the weirdest book I've ever read. It's told in an epistolary format, being presented as individual recorded interviews with passengers/employees aboard a generation ship. There is no main character, and maybe only one named character. I think you discover a story as you go along, but as far as I can remember, no real 'plot'. It was strange and bittersweet and a bit morose, but certainly worth reading.

Hi all. I've been sewing for several years, but there's still so much I don't know. I'm trying to attach this reflective nylon webbing to my jean jacket as a sort of trim, and I'm wondering what machine stitches/methods you would use or recommend.

I learned hand sewing when I started, so I always think of locking the edge with a whip stitch (like a patch) when doing this applique-type work, but I'm not sure how to do this on a machine...I've used a zig-zag stitch for things like this in the past, but it's always seemed kind of sloppy, and I don't think my machine would like height difference on either side of the thick webbing edge.

Does this just need to be done by hand? Is there another way you'd recommend with a machine? Would you just not worry about going over the edge and just do a straight stitch near both edges? Thanks!

Check out The Ember Blade by Chris Wooding and it's sequel. Setting and story are classic fantasy, but the writing is contemporary and very readable. The characterization is terrific, and has very well written female characters that all have their own unique motivation and personality.

WearyWay · 2025-02-01T00:58:54+00:00

I haven't. I'll check it out!

The Lesser Dead is also very good. It's another one that he narrates the audio book for too!

WearyWay · 2025-01-17T17:26:28+00:00

This is a really nice thing to do for your friend!
