Food Cooperatives exist. Ours hasn’t changed the location of things since they opened the new location, like 20 years ago.

About 6000 species of solitary bees in North America. Providing them habitat by planting the flowering species they visit is a huge first step. Additionally making ‘space’ for their larva is enormously helpful. Many are ground dwelling, so getting rid of ‘landscape cloth’ which blocks them from burrowing is useful.

Check with your local cooperative extension service for information about the bees in your area.

Here’s an article from OSU on the topic: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/gardening/pollinators/nesting-habits-solitary-bees

Friends, spicy foods are no joke!

No ads on Lemmy. Where did you find this “average user”?

smae! LoL!

Yay, Oglaf! Thanks for the reminder; it had slipped off my radar. https://www.oglaf.com/archive/

I better get mine, soon.

LoL. Lavender Lad, get on your bike and ride off that anger. It’s not harming anyone apart from yourself.

Good to know. I do more road trips now that I’m not driving an ICE car. Plugshare does list those stations. I have a certain antipathy for ‘petrol’ companies. Something to do with the demise of the human species, to which I’m reasonably concerned about.

My EV has onboard pressure monitoring. And came with a little electric tire pump.

Downsides: Have to go to a gas station to find a squeegee to clean the windows.

Upsides: You have no other reason to go to a gas station.

“Data from the U.S. Postal Service and Census Bureau shows how the pandemic drove urban professionals who were able to work remotely — disproportionately Democrats — out of coastal, progressive cities to seek more space or recreational amenities in the nation’s suburbs and Sun Belt. This moved liberals out of electoral districts where Democrats reliably won by large margins into many purple regions that had the potential to swing with just small changes to the map.”

Yes, please, we need every tiny bit of help to win this one.

Mom? Is that you?

They must have inspired Oklahoma City, in Bricktown they have a very long, narrow pond. And you can ride a boat / water taxi in it. https://bricktownwatertaxi.com/

How much would you pay? Don’t answer! You also get…

LoL

I got a different brand, would love an open source one for sure, AND it’s amazing to have an actually clean floor pretty much ongoingly. One still has to do stuff to prepare for the robotic underlord; they don’t like string, or cords, afterall. or like them all too much.

I got an insta-pot a couple years back, but basically only use it for cooking up grains, and beans. What else do you use your’s for?

And they are super efficient, and insulated. If you have the counter space it’s a good kitchen tool.
