What a nice public service! It’s the little things that make cycling better.

You don’t really plant them, you get eggs on little strips of paper that you hang on your plants. Super easy!

Lacewing! Super beneficial insect! I try to grow them every year in my garden. They eat aphids and other pests on plants. It’s a friend :)

If you’re in the US, I have gotten good results/ seeds from ptlawnseed.com. They have a bunch of different options and tell you what works well in your climate zone!

I need to build a new pc soon. Mine is currently 10 years old and it’s showing its age. I just don’t know what motherboard manufacturer to go with! I’m currently using an asus mobo that has been great and solid for a decade, but… I want to support a good company.

Woah, this is really nice and cool. Was just browsing all on Lemmy and it showed up. I haven’t taken a dive into Linux, but I have dipped my toes in the last two decades, and dang it, I want to try it now.

The simplistic elegance that a nice theme can offer like this gives me peace and calm, and makes me feel welcome. Linux can be so intimidating, and many themes are harsh, this just makes the whole system seem approachable and friendly.

Looks fantastic, and saved for my future self!

Hi neighbor! Believe it or not, I walk by your house all the time and always tell my wife I love it :)

As for what you can do, I know you said you're southern exposure with a lot of sun, but I can tell you that I would consider your home and even that front mostly shaded.

Now is a good time to mulch with some good compost. We’ve been seeing good results with just getting some black kow from Home Depot.

Additionally, I was just there yesterday, but The Farm in Green Village (by Morristown) is open and they'll soon have plants in their shade section. Very helpful people there too. Definitely worth the trip.

Also, we have a ton of deer, and your arborvitae look like tell-tale signs of deer nibbling. They can’t reach the top so just eat out the middle. I got a motion detected sprinkler to scare them off a few years ago and that seems to help.

Small world, especially on Lemmy!

My boss will purposely screen shot text he writes so I have to rewrite it and not copy paste… not fun.

A boat you can take out of water and dry dock, seeing, analyzing, and fixing every interior and exterior surface. A house you cannot dry dock and check the exterior of the foundation under the soil.

Yes, fuck cars, but first, fuck America (and other countries) for not building infrastructure to be car independent.

Boeing could use them on their door plug nuts.

What a frustratingly unhelpful post. Reddit has been a website for over a decade and it’s apps existed just as long. Lemmy and memmy are extremely new and there just hasn’t been the time yet to create something super polished like Apollo. Everyone has to give it time, including the devs. They have lives and the same 24 hours a day we all do. Be patient. Shit will break, things will have to be backtracked… that’s the way progress works.
