I like to garden and try to find ways to bring joy and hope into my world.

CounselingTechie,

You put it best, but I approve seeing more trains made.

CounselingTechie,

I have been following them for a year or two now, and it is just amazing. I have thought about how hard or easy a system could be built to connect it with lorawan or similar.

CounselingTechie,

I wish it would be possible, but the amount of work to convert would make it more difficult than not. Honestly, I would love to see more community centers made from the abandoned malls at least as a starting point, and then go from there.

CounselingTechie,

I am excited! I was in Omaha for the 2017 Eclipse, and plan to be in Texas for this one, taking photos and enjoying the sight of it. It is a humbling sight, and from a spiritual perspective it is amazing for channeling energy through.

CounselingTechie,

Exactly! I will post pictures when I get them! And yeah, I am a nomadic heart, traveling is a big sign of enjoyment in my life.

CounselingTechie,

Thank you for sharing this. I admit, the nature of hopepunk was something I found recently through solarpunk and it kept going in my heart as an ideal to push for, especially in the work and life environment I am in.

CounselingTechie,

Sadly accurate given that I live in the bit of purple in Colorado, and it has been 70s here, which is normal for our spring season.

CounselingTechie,

Getting the last set of pots this weekend, got large terracotta ones that I am going to be having ollas in with some container style tomatoes and peppers. Maximizing space without necessarily building more raised beds as I don’t have the stuff for that, right now. Waiting on one of the local stores to get plants started for selling so that I can transplant them into my garden beds. Going to try okra this year! Determined to see how it works!

CounselingTechie,

Honestly, one thing to look at would be using ollas, or terracotta pots that irrigate the plants for you. It is an easy way to once to twice a week water your plants. I use it almost exclusively in my gardens because my work schedule is too hectic sometimes for daily watering, plus it is much more effective in deep-root watering.

CounselingTechie,

Yep! they are also good because they are a deep root watering too! I used the ollas last years for my dynamite peppers and banana peppers, and they were wonderful honestly.

CounselingTechie,

Of course! If you have any questions feel free to post around here too! There are a few different places to get seeds or plants from that are container friendly, which can help for something easy to work with.

CounselingTechie,

You put it best. Many want the cottage/cabin in the woods for the vacation space to post pictures on their instagram or such. There is little allure to the true nature of the lifestyle, the simple cruelty of it. The aesthetic is not the lifestyle, and I wish people would understand that.

CounselingTechie,

I find myself more surprised at this not being as well known as you put it. The information was presented in a rational manner and I will be looking it over again in the near future.

My journey growing letteuce in my living room over the winter (see album in description)

I started in mid-November and have already had 5 harvests! The outrageous red and oak leaf letteuce have done the best. None of the black seeded Simpson survived. They’re all leggy because of the distance to my grow lights but one of these days I’ll get around to setting up a way to drop them down....

CounselingTechie,

That is amazing! I ended up this winter testing out growing lettuce but I started small, growing mini butterhead lettuce, and was pleased with the results. I am excited for the next winter, going to try to be brave and try some more traditional types. What may be a method you think for helping the black seeded Simpson to grow better?

CounselingTechie,

Maybe! I won’t lie, I am not the most knowledgeable of lettuce but experimenting is always the best way to find a good method! For myself, I am going to be yes, though outdoors instead of indoors.

CounselingTechie,

I shall be the one to open the jar, for I am curious.

CounselingTechie,

The best way I have learned to perceive it is that those of the “left” are best akin to a set of islands, loosely connected in that they are close enough to each other in range. Just like how different islands have different cultures, ecosystems, terrains, you find that the different groups of people of the “left” are that way, with their sole united fact being that they aren’t the “other side”; however, when you ask where the line of the other side is, they all mark the line at a different point, some even going to far as to say those on the other lines are part of that “other side.”

In my own experiences, I have seen this in discussions of equity, especially racial equity as a person who is mixed race, equity and rights for those who are LGBTQIA+ as a person who is part of the acronym, and the care for the environment.

I sadly have no true solution for this issue. People almost strive on the idea of disunity, being the sole group that has their perception of the proper answer, the single truth, and developing inane criteria to compare others to that aren’t part of their same group, solely to justify hating them.

CounselingTechie,

Your statement I honestly agree with. I deal with this at my work a lot with coworkers. There is a major push against self-accountability, and the push for self-growth. Some accept the perspective that they are the only ones with a correct answer, and that those who don’t provide an echo chamber are wrong because of some inherent trait, examples being age or culture most commonly in my experiences.

I often wonder when fully it started. I see those in their 40s to 50s with it strongly affecting them, but just as strongly I see those in theirs 60s to 70s, and those in their early 20s and like me are in their early 30s. There seems to be no easy discernable pattern for finding a solution.

CounselingTechie,

As someone who lives in Colorado, I see no issues with them actually creating more options for transit.

CounselingTechie,

2 hours for the city to city yeah. It is closer to 3 and a half hours for those of us who are in the more rural communities.

CounselingTechie,

That is so amazing!!

I got my tomato seeds for my various types I am going to be growing, and then also am going to attempt growing okra! I also got my classic herbs, some peppers, some onions, and garlics too.

Starting indoors then will transfer as necessary.

CounselingTechie,

Very nice with the ground cherries!

CounselingTechie,

Make sure to have a good coop for the messenger pigeon

CounselingTechie,

Still thinking about the sheer number of retro-computing people I know.

Also you say this about the potatoes, tomatoes, and chickens, but what about the other plants? Your lettuce is looking wilty.

CounselingTechie,

I have tried to think about the feasibility in installing a solar water heater on a monolithic dome styled house.
