@arisummerland@wcbdata We started doing this decades ago because the crows were pulling up the plants as soon as they broke ground and we got tired of replanting every day. This way the plants are big enough and have enough roots to discourage the crows. We plant three rows at 2 week intervals. Sweet corn is my specialty!😀
@AbandonedAmerica - Dude, your piece about Gary, Indiana on Atlas Obscura is phenomenal. Growing up outside Chicago, Gary was just a syncopated song and a smell when the wind came in hard from the east. I loved learning more about its history and decline.
Maryland has become the 3rd state to legally require the government to provide new luggage to foster children when they enter the system or move to a new foster home.
Foster children almost always stuff the entirety of their worldly possessions into trash bags for such moves, an act and an image that imprints on them and us a sense that the world considers them a waste, trash. This law mandates a simple step to help preserve their human dignity.
Went to the first ever #RepairCafe here in my town just to check it out and meet some of the folks running it (tbh, I'd only heard of its existence yesterday).
Not 10 minutes later, I was accidentally volunteered to help fix small appliances! I managed to help out with one of several broken humidifiers (bad bearings on an easily-replaced motor), but had no tools to do much else. I'll be at the next one, this time legit: with meters, soldering supplies, and maybe some parts!
For US users, at least, when exporting all of a LinkedIn account's data, if a user selects "Download Larger Archive" to get the full archive, when they click to request the archive, the UI just switches their selection to "Select the data files you're most interested in" instead, then selects ALL THE OPTIONS, and finally disables the form and submits the request. I guess the BE developers were busy that sprint.
