for filling watering jugs, I'm trying to find some simple float nozzle thingy that would allow a few jugs to be filling from the rain barrel while you are watering plants with one or two (used 1gal milk jugs) but I'm not finding such a thing for less than $32 each fancy fuel nozzle, that seems to have a spring/trigger thing. It's going to fill with algae and get clogged with junk / a pain to clean if it's anything more complicated than a floating ball in a slotted tube

@enobacon have u tried ceramic spikes? You put a wine bottle in it.

I just bought a 6 pack today off of eBay. They work well for perennials, especially the first year when they are getting established.

@enobacon depends on the spot I usually check them every few days. But they can last a few weeks if it's been raining. I would say about once a week on average.

@enobacon lol, almost any bottles work. Wine bottles just work better.

RT @regionalplan We heard today is someone's birthday!

The Brooklyn Bridge opened 141 years ago today. We found some old-school bridge crossing photos in our archives, circa 1980s.

Five people walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, wearing 80s-style office and business casual clothes. One man is carrying a briefcase. In the background the Bell switching tower can be seen with its marble cladding and AT&T logo, and the World Trade Center.
Two women walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, in a section that is higher than the rest of the pedestrian deck. It is lined with chain-link fence. The women are wearing 80s-style office clothes with skirts below the knee, and holding a large tote bag between them by the handles. In the background the World Trade Center and the Woolworth Building can be seen. Two men in suits are climbing the stairs to the elevated walkway.

@capntransit @regionalplan that first picture is so great. The woman especially just exudes office enu. Like she's so tapped out, probably an introvert that doesn't want to talk to anyone for the rest of the day.

@benroyce That beautiful! I feel like I've seen one like that before.
In college I took an intro to astronomy and found out how frequently we get meteorites and it's way more than u would think!

@mina @benroyce oh man that would be so cool if they turned off the street lights at midnight. I have to drive well over an hr to get a sky that dark. They are passing Dark Sky regulations on the state level here in Massachusetts. But it will take yrs before that has any real effect.

Wooden removable bollards put in places to protect human life.

Metal permanent bollards put at a corner of a building to protect property.

This is what "Platinum Bike-Friendly" looks like at UC Davis.

@meganL @cycling wow, I applied to go to UC Davis and thought it was cool because it was the 'bike school'. Reading ur posts it's more like oh, it's warm and flat so people bike, which is not the same as a biking utopia.
I ended up at Santa Cruz. Hilly and cold in comparison.

@meganL @cycling the best in North America is probably Montreal. But Not Just Bike just made a clap back video about how poorly Montreal stand up to European cities. I don't think we have a good infrastructure anywhere in North America.

But I think we're at an inflexion point and a lot is going to be built out soon.

@RustyRaven we do have Society Security but this only works if you have a paying job that tracks your hours. And I've heard of programs attempting to address all these issues. In WA State there's a 'home health' program where these family members can take a certification course and get paid minimum wage for doing the work they are already doing for free. And they get basic training on first aid & elder care.
The US is really 50+ different countries in some ways ( as the name itself implies).
