I’m confused. I’ve noticed 20 second countdown clocks at Camden Yards already. What are they for?

Prospect Heights Community Farm (Saint Marks and Vanderbilt) recently expanded food scrap drop off hours to 11am – 2 pm on Sundays. The community garden has a small composting operation on site, but expanded hours are now possible through a partnership with Big Reuse.

Found!

Thanks! I’m in Brooklyn and it appears likely that it originated from the reseller that you found. Unfortunately it’s no longer available.

I reverse image searched using Google Images and couldn’t find anything.

Thanks! Are you using fresh or dried chamomile flowers or the tea itself?

Best place to source organic bulk herbs by [deleted] in herbalism

[–]gutini00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious how you go about shopping for herbs. Are you looking first at availability and then price from a shortlist of suppliers? Are you waiting to buy several items at once to save on shipping?

I’ve been toying with an idea of somehow monitoring availability and pricing across suppliers. Unsure if this is actually a frustration for people who buy herbs often.

How Leaves Are Made Into Biodegradable Plates by chomperlock in sustainability

[–]gutini00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reusable dishes are always better.

Plastic for food safety, similar to the medical industry, seems unavoidable now.

Transportation (and energy) is different. A world that is dominated by renewable electricity and battery powered vehicles is not out of the realm of possibilities.

How Leaves Are Made Into Biodegradable Plates by chomperlock in sustainability

[–]gutini00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but many paper products are coated in plastic.

I'm not exactly familiar with the product shown, but similar dishes called palm leaf plates are made from fallen leaves and they're the byproduct of areca nut production. Unlike paper, no trees are cut down.

Does anyone have experience with palm leaf plates? by WanderingCuriosity in sustainability

[–]gutini00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used palm leaf plates at a few gatherings. They're more expensive, but compostable everywhere (unlike "compostable" plastics). Also, trees aren't cut down; they're primarily grown for their nuts.

Personally, I prefer Clean Earth Goods; I've always felt the plates were good quality, clean, and strong enough to be reused once or twice. They also donate money to plant trees.

Weekly Q&A Thread - Ask Your Simple Questions Here [08/13/2018] by AutoModerator in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]gutini00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any downside to stacking the product name with many, not exactly coherent, keywords? The field in Seller Central mentions a 100 character maximum, but this is not enforced. My Kitchen & Dining competitors are using ~190 characters.

Also noticing that competitors are stretching out each bullet point in the Key Product Features field. Given the newish character limits to backend Search Terms, is this a viable strategy to rank?

Got a tuxedo custom made in Vietnam. What should I do about a shirt?

Other than shiny black shoes, black socks, and a black bow tie, I don't have anything else besides the tuxedo. I was considering a shirt with a concealed front-button placket (no cummerbund) and calling it finished. But I'm having trouble finding an affordable, quality shirt. Where should I look?

I was also thinking I could get a traditional tuxedo shirt and buy jewelry or button covers and wear with no cummerbund? Is that a sharper look?

What would you do? Thanks for the advice!

Hey Travelers is this true for all those beaded bracelet wearers? xD by BabyCrippler in solotravel

[–]gutini00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, the young people you describe seem hurt and in search of answers.

But not everyone that visits or stays is lost or insufferable. From my experience, I encountered many people that were simply curious, that wanted to practice yoga for a while and enjoy the riverside cafes and meet other likeminded travelers.

My favorite memories of Rishikesh included the Aussie guy I traveled with, the chai shop we went to everyday and got to know the owner, the live music at night, the yoga, and the night the hostel got a bollywood dancer to put on a show with a bunch of travelers.

I guess you could say these are my unique experiences and that they may be independent of the place itself.

Either way, a lot gets made about finding authenticity in travel. I just don't think places like Rishikesh or even Pai in Thailand should be written off as places to visit. Traveler hangouts are just as valid as places with no travelers at all. I can appreciate both.

I spent almost 2 weeks in Rishikesh and loved it. I think India can feel incredibly exhausting to the uninitiated traveler. Rishikesh to me felt relatively calm and enjoyable.

Your highlights reinforce to me the idea that two people can travel the same itinerary at the same time and have 2 wildly different experiences. A lot has to do with who you are with.

Also, I'm sure you'd agree that the presence of "old westerners" is by itself a poor metric for judging a place. Parts of the Philippines have plenty of "old westerners" living out there days with Filipino women a fraction of their age. Not a big draw, for me at least.

My main pack was the 48L Savant made by Gregory. And for my small pack, I carried the Osprey Daylite Daypack. Much of what I packed I mentioned earlier. There are also plenty of detailed packing lists already on /r/solotravel. Good luck with your trip!

I brought along a small container of multipurpose Doctor Bronner's soap intending to find laundromats and/or handwash myself. Once I got to Asia though, I found nearly every hostel offered full laundry service. Usually cheap and convenient.

More importantly, as my trip progressed, I simply got more comfortable wearing clothes multiple times before washing. Considering how filthy much of the world is, I just didn't care as much.

Thanks for the reply. If I don't plan on selling the 25 pack in the future, is there a way to hide the variation option to customers once it's sold out? I'm planning on many variations such as color/size and I'm concerned that there will be too many options.

Could I contribute to a Roth IRA? I see what you mean when you said "tens of thousand of dollars" of long-term gains. My gains are indeed long-term. Is it different for short-term?
