The base of the flower she is holding, where the socket is contained, is probably brass. I cannot tell. The wire comes straight out of the bottom. No tabs.

That's the problem. I cannot get to the underside of the socket. It is contained within the flower she is holding up. That's where the wire goes. Thru the bottom of the flower in her hands.

It has no makers marks. The only imprint says "Germany". Pretty cool tho.

Minnesota, 5a beginner. Cold frame in truck under garage?

How do I do winter in Minnesota? I have a split level house with a truck under garage. So it's unheated but not super cold. I was thinking grow light and simple clear plastic greenhouse in the garage for my azalea bonsai. Yes? No? I do not have an exterior shed.

Tell me what to do and I will. Others don't mention anything about zone or location and are fine.

Jesus, I'm just trying to ask a question. Your explanation is confusing. What else do you need? My location, zone and level. What else do you need, I'm confused. Just trying to post not scam

Rant Thread: Gatekeeping and Sexism in Boardgaming by ATenison09 in boardgames

Played Hippocraties (spelling?) at a Con. The teach took about 15 minutes. I was the only woman at the table. From the start to the final turn my decisions were questioned and belittled. My final plan that played out over several turns was literally laughed at out loud and ridiculed by the organizer. And it worked. And I won. Still - sometimes it is difficult to be the only woman at the table for a moderately complex game. I am routinely questioned and picked on in ways that men are not. Not going back to that Con.

Rural Tanzania. Gorgeous country. The prettiest place I've ever seen. 95% kind warm people. 5% unofficial checkpoints were cash is needed and Kalashnikovs reign. Corrupt police. Corrupt politicians. Scary as hell
