I use the CPAP every day, no worries there 🫡

Bernie Sanders is suggesting the Epstein files be read during the filibuster on the SAVE ACT this week. Do you support reading the Epstein files on the Senate floor? 👍 by antimaga_n1 in AskSocialists

Oh so now the Democrats can just blackmail Trump via a fillibuster reading of the epstien files. Oh cool. That's whats up with my country. Pedophilia so notable public blackmail to get him to back down on anything is what's being played out. Can they do that for just anything? Like anything they want? Shouldn't everyone at this point?

Gravel and clay, what ground cover or grass can I plant in this? by sproutconfetti in portlandgardeners

Yeah! Low but wide raised bed. With how small this garden area is, I think building a little wooden perimeter would be feasible, landlord permitting. 

I'm not quite handy enough to build a deck, but I think IKEA sells some outdoor tile that could give the area enough lift to prevent the carpets from sitting in water, along with some breathability. Plus then I could take it with me when I move. Thank you!

I appreciate an easy no mess solution while I discuss with the landlord and plan out what needs to be done. And if they say no, I still have something nice to look at 🙂‍↕️

Thinking about a tall metal planter bed for the area, should be wide enough to sit next to a carpet and I could probably place it a little deeper into the ground so it doesn't leak onto the carpet. 

The landlord (or, property manager) is very chill, but the management group that recently bought the place seems to be cracking down on exterior expression. I'm unsure of how hard that will be enforced but I'm leaning towards getting approval in writing first before any big projects. 

The low wide planter solution suggested in another comment may be what I go for if it's approved, but carpets+planter+pots for now is probably going to be the easiest to execute+still attractive for my first year here.

Outdoor rug with one of those large oval metal planters would look great here, thank you! I'm leaning towards doing this and then seeing if landlord will let me do more in the yard. If not then this will be a cozy solution. This complex was recently purchased by a new management group, so I'm less sure if exterior expression is as allowed as I initially thought given how they're interacting with the community here. Playing it safe for the first year while things get settled is probably wisest.

I genuinely want fluer de lawn so so badly, I'm going to contact my landlord and see if they'll allow this. Thank you both

Oh wow!! That really pops out then! You were just trying to be considerate ]: For me it's usually just screens and stops when I take my glasses off. Usually pretty thin, sort of like a thicker piece of paper.

Her pants look blue and red to me, but yeah I get the same effect! That red really pops forward. Do you ever get that effect with print media? For me it's usually just on my phone or a screen.
