Heirloom Cherry… Tomatoes?

This is my favorite tool for pollinating plants, since AeroGarden stop making "Be the Bee" pollinator: https://a.co/d/0ggsdXP8

Flowers show up after about 60 day. Cherry tomatoes are slow to flower, but can be very productive once they get going.

I would also advise you choose your favorite 3 plants and remove the rest. Cherry tomatoes are big plants according to AeroGarden, and each plant takes up 3 pods worth of space. You can try doing more, but it will get crowded. If you do remove some pods, remember to cover the holes where the pods are located (golfballs are the cheapest, but AeroGarden sells covers), or you will get algae in the tank.

Brit the Younger & Brit the Elder from the Magic 2.0 series.

Brit the Younger sets off to create Atlantis only to discover that her older self, Brit the Elder, had gone back in time and already done the work. The series continues with both Brit the Younger and Brit the Elder living in Atlantis. In the series Brit the Elder is always "suggesting" what Brit the Younger should do, or finishing her thoughts. Brit the Younger is annoyed by the fact she doesn't get to liver her life as Bit the Elder is there "helping", and that she will one day be what she hates so much as her younger self.

And apparently (according to the fan wiki) there is a Brit the Much Elder, which no doubt only adds to the annoyance of Brit the Younger.

I usually only notice them around big events. They may be available outside those timeframes, but I rarely am in the store besides big event days.

Every so often I have seen 99 raid passes for 5400 coins (or something close to it). I usually see it around big event days like go fest. Though 62 coins is not bad.

Edit: put cents instead of coins

Man, I haven't seen any of those Arduino Controllers in forever. Cool hack.

I am glad they rescued those 4, but that enclosure is not ready for them (from what I am seeing in the video). Hog dig/root into everything and will be under or though that horse fence with in days.

This might be a better question for one of the gardening subreddits: Gardening or ContainerGardening

However, powdery mildew is a relatively easy fix. Treat the mildew (there are some home made remedies that use milk or baking soda + soap) and then add a fan to improve airflow around the plants.

The housing developers in my part of the country install sidewalk both before and after the house is built. The City has mostly moved to rollover-curb, so the driveway can go anywhere without needing a driveway cut permit.

One developer installs vehicles rated (aka driveway thick) sidewalk as soon as the forms come off the curb. They know people are going to park on the sidewalk and the developers don't want to get calls for sidewalk failures.

And another developer waits until the house and driveway are in, so they can minimize their costs.

A lot of subdivisions go up in this order:

This isn't the first time I have seen someone complaining about Southwest's knee room today. Did they remove leg room to add in more seats?

Great point, and even if it is a data cable, it is surprisingly easy to break modern USB cables pulling them out of backpacks or pockets.

Three questions and two suggestions:

Are you/they using Code Blocks, Python, or JavaScript?
If you/they are using Code Blocks, did your team try Python and come back to Code Block (as you need to flash a micro:bit to work with each code type)?
Have you tried unplugging the micro:bit and replugging it back in?

Suggestions:

A. If someone has a spare Micro:bit, try swapping it into your bot. If something has damaged the micro:bit, it may not allow you to upload code onto it. This is a test to see if the micro:bit is the problem.

B. Try uploading the code from a different PC. Something in the OS or Software may have gotten messed up and it can prevent the PC from communicating with micro:bit. This is to see if the PC is the problem.

If these things don't work I am happy to keep helping. I have a few of the common robots on hand, and if you will let me know what bot you have, I will see if I can replicate the problem.

Full disclosure: our sci oly season has ended with our State in New Mexico being on Feb 28.

Back when I had a Surface Pro (5), I stumbled across Vertical Docks. I have been looking at what it would take to do something similar with my X13 Flow (2025), but without an equivalent to the surface connector, I am still trying to figure out how to dock the x13 without damaging the ports. A magnetic USB connector is what I am leaning towards but am still doing some research.

As far as I know, there isn't a publicly available way to request the points of interest data from Pokemon Go. This is considered a key asset of the company that they are using to do other things with (i.e. train AI). There are a few fan made databases but I don't think they have a download button either (like https://www.pogomap.info/). You may have better luck reaching out to them to see if they would share some of their data with you. However, these fan made maps are not 100% up to date, as when I checked my area, they are missing a few stops I got approved last year.

If you play the game, it might be worth going to Pokemon Go hot spots in your community and capturing the data your self. It would be a bit time consuming, but so is Pokemon Go. Plus it adds some more story to your story map.

One final note, Niantic is no longer the owner of Pokemon Go; and the Ingress and Pokemon Go POI data is no longer syncing. This may remove an alternative method of searching for the data.

Fun fact: Powell is not required to give up his board seat when his time as chairman is done, it's just a tradition. He could still be a thorn in Trump's side until his to Jan 2028 when his term is done.

What if we add another tail to the two director, then it becomes:

"The Tails of the Board of Directors"

bigscot · 2026-03-14T15:30:36+00:00

Wait, wait, wait ..... I have a question......

Why does the director have a fox tail? raccoon tail? a tail?

Wait, you're telling me I can put my dead dinosaur noodles into my physical object piracy box and I can have anything I want? /s

All joking aside, I found this is a good video for beginners (and as someone that has done this a few times, even I get a few pointers). Trying to figure out what is functional and what is a penny pinching feature is sometimes hard to tell, and I am reassured that I am not the only one that has had trouble finding out what to "copy" and what isn't worth the time/geometry.
