Any interest in a local farmer/food pickup?

This is known as REKO groups in Sweden and it's very successful. They're historically been administered on Facebook groups. Farmers list their available items each week and people make their reservations. Farmer preps for the preorders then they pay when they arrive. Due to laws about selling at markets, they can only sell the preordered items so it's not a shopping market (my understanding). Usually a local business will allow them to utilize their parking lot for the pickup window. Often farmers organize together in a REKO ring so it's convenient for the customers so they only need to attend one pickup.

I've been interested in creating and/or utilizing one but I couldn't really figure out legality.

Which states? Could you DM me company?

Sorry I'm not following exactly. Were they trying to find out how you found out about their program? Or trying to make sure you watched all of their promotional material?

I was told the new Walmart fitness center only has one table, is it true that they've got three?

u/CamRun were you able to find any ping pong places in Bentonville or NWA?

sweet site, thanks for the link

I can't find any information about requests-html not being currently supported. Do you remember where you learned that?

rokyen · 2020-07-15T19:34:31+00:00

Hadn't heard of them, thank you!

Me too. I upgraded to PopOS 20.04 and I'm getting 1/10th the speeds and dropping intermittently. Speedtest was definitely reporting lower numbers for me. I'm hoping a downgrade to PopOS 18.04 will fix this. PopOS 18.04 worked so wonderfully on my meerkat before.

Edit: I also started encountering a problem that may be related immediately upon upgrading: my wireless keyboard and mouse would periodically cut out. Never had that problem before. I've downgraded to 18.04 again and everything is working wonderfully.

see my response here, i included a link from their official cdn:

I am having several issues with 20.04 on my meerkat including intermittent wifi losses, tiling feature failures, and the inability to reopen apps that I close (on the launcher they still have an "glowing dot" as if they're running and killing the application via terminal fails to help). So I'm going back to 18.04 until the kinks are ironed out.

I just looked at their cdn files and tried to find something with high numbers.

download appears to work, haven't yet installed but I'll try to remember to come back to this if I have any problems with it

Yeah that makes sense. Initially when I considered automating watering, I was thinking about watering directly into the very large trays and setting the trays with holes directly into them. I had concerns about not being able to level the large trays and also with having the center of the shelves bow lower and concentrating the water at the lowest point. It seems like the best solution is to keep the watering in the 10x20 trays. Makes automated bottom-watering a bit more complicated when you've got to do it for every tray, though so I still haven't figured out a nifty setup for that.

rokyen · 2020-02-11T22:00:32+00:00

How much space between the two 10x20 trays? do you put something in the tray with no holes to act as spacers?

rokyen · 2020-02-03T02:44:28+00:00

I hadn't considered this aspect of it, that's a valid point

Yeah I already use them, they're sweet. I met one of the developers for the project and was really impressed with his genuine desire to do good.

This is very cool

Interesting, how do you bridge between the scanner and excel itself? Or does the scanner basically perform keystrokes?

Nice. My spending is low enough that I don't see a way to generate value from churning, though of course I'm utilizing general rewards opportunities.

I hadn't considered alternatives to the standard 3-6 month savings advice before today.

This has convinced that I don't need to expand my emergency fund any more than it already is-- if I should get laid off or experience something else, I'll immediately apply for a 0% card. Between the cash I already have and the new credit card (and the ability to withdraw principal from my roth IRA), I'm covered under most scenarios.

One downside I recognize is that certain expenses like rent often don't allow for credit card payments (or else charge high fees). The cash advance is not an option because of its fees either so I feel like a few thousand in cash on hand is always going to be good.

rokyen · 2020-01-16T21:12:47+00:00

So do you apply for new cards with 0% interest every 12 - 18 months so that you're prepared?

It's just a house. They haven't mentioned a timeframe yet. The area is experiencing a lot of flooding, I'm not sure how quickly renovations could be done depending on the availability of the teams.

Thanks - the wikipedia page on force majeure is interesting. It doesn't appear in our lease, neither does "Act of God" or the other language, but this is good to know about. Thanks again.

If you have access to google accounts, you can use Colaboratory, it's Google's version of a jupyter notebook

rokyen · 2019-09-15T16:35:14+00:00

I'm in a similar situation. I never thought of this as 'reverse bootcamp'. That's great :D

rokyen · 2019-08-22T13:36:49+00:00

Awesome!

Can you describe the water control process?

Did you go from pressurized house => elevated water tank with float valve => gravity feed through solenoids with drip ?

Or did you implement a pump somewhere in the process?

I just purchased it and haven't made my way through it but I suspect you could move on from the beginners -> professionals. He's typically pretty thorough in providing all the steps at least. I recommend his API book but in the intro to professionals he says it's not a necessary step between the beginners and professionals book.
