If you read the article, a large portion of it is dedicated to people defacing and degrading the nature.

Hell the title card image is a tree with a bunch of initials carved into it.

Overall the headline blows, because the article had a large chunk dedicated to Native American Cultural Appropriation and other related criticisms.

Edit: My bad, I didn't see OP's message. Your comment is a pretty good take on OPs commentary. I'm not quite sure how OP tied that message to this article, this article is not really solarpunk focused.

I just read the article. I recommend doing that, it is quiet good.

I arrived during the API debacle.

Some things are better, content and activity.

Some things are worse, spammers, AI proponents who harrass you despite the clear community-wide dislike of the plagarism machine, fascist chuds trying to mainstream rascism, misogyny, and ableism.

Basically each new wave is another usenet September equivalent, and it feels like we're approaching the eternal september epoch as lemmy becomes more widely used. Soon we'll have to deal with state actor bot-nets if we aren't already.

While neat, I am concerned about this pushing out native trees species. North America has experienced numerous ecological disasters due to non-native Flora and Fauna spreading outside thier normal ranges. Most transcontinental.

I think try is the wrong world, pretty sure we've succeeded, the question now is "Does anything survive?"

Kroger actively wants their employees to do this. (Source: worked in this hellhole for 13 years. Would choose homelessness/starvation over going back)

Its a psycholigical trick to make you think its cheaper than it is. Intended to make you think subconciously "It can't be that expensive if they treat it this poorly."

I do think they picked the wrong product for this treatment considering shrink and high price. It should be shit like dvds and other durable products.

Redevelop my city to be more walkable/bikeable and better Public transport.

If you have a cutter and cloner theres almost no reason to not grab a SmartPro or Autel. It'd pay for itself in less than a year.

Assuming you've got a sidewinder cutter it's worth researching GM's onboard programming. You can do most vehicles older than 2023 without a programmer.

Hello fellow locksmith. We've basically given up on selling residential Smart Locks and Padlocks in our shop. For pretty much the same reasons you've described. Our prices would be outrageously higher.

Fortunately we deal in car keys, and dealerships still give us plenty of breathing room to beat them on parts, service, and lead times.

I like my Pad Thai spicy.

I usually get a 4 out of 5. I was getting a 1.

I once had to leave a negative review at the Thai place I go for lunch pretty regularly, because they got a new hostess and she kept trying to save me from my hubris multiple weeks in a row.

The owners finally had a conversation with her and now I get my Pad Thai at the appropriate spice level. I edited the review to 5 stars afterwords.

The end of february and early march here in the midwest was similarly brutal.

My local ski hill was poised to have a banner March, they had stockpiled an incredible amount of snow after a great year of natural snow. Nearly 2 times the average amount.

But the last week of february and first week of march was blowtorch weather. Rain and overnight lows higher than average highs. Daytime highs nearly 30° above normal.

It ended up closing its regular closing day.

But what killed me most was the regular people talking about how great it was it was 74° (30 above average) in March. Because it was 20° (10 below average) in February. I had to point out 30 above average in August is 112° before they lost thier sense of giddyness. Its going to be 84 on Sunday, which is 2° away from peak average summer temps. This summer is going to kill swathes of people.

 

We made 11 jars of pickled green tomatoes and 21 jars of salsa. Jars are Pint sized (≈.5 L). Unpictured is the 4 gallons (≈16L) of blanched and frozen red tomatoes that we'll eventually turn into sauce.

This took a while. Every window in the house was fogged.

 

We found a recipe for pickled green tomatoes we're trying out. Let you know how it goes.

 

Got nearly 20 ounces, 566 grams for the more civilized.

Also some volunteer Jack-o-lantern pumpkins, I've had to pick them earlier than I wanted because a ground hog has devoured 6-7 pumpkins already.

 

I was given a bine (yes, that's not a typo) by my father in law.

Unsure of the variety, and unsure of what I want to do with them, brewing my own beer is a lot of work and cleaning I dont have time for.

May see if a local brewery wants them.

I tried planting edible landscaping this year, but it's been working pretty poorly. I think I need figure out a better way to communicate the expectations with pedestrians.

So far 2 Cantaloupes have been taken well before ripening, an unripe green pumpkin was taken, an unripe bell pepper was taken, and they aren't touching the ripe tomatos or strawberries. So I'm very confused.

Maybe I'm expecting them to have too high of a base knowledge of garden plants? I may just move the garden inside the fence and build a small pantry instead.

 

For the 250th anniversery of America (honestly, vomit) the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Natural Areas and Preserves is reconstructing the maps and transcribing surveyor notes from the 1800s to create an interactive map of Ohio's presettlememt habitats.

I'll be sure to post an update once the map is out.

 

My pawpaws saplings I planted last fall are still alive!

They have started budding leaves. I know I'm a few years away from fruit production but I am curious if anyone has found good ways to attract pollinators outside of rotting meat. Not sure the city would be very excited about that prospect.

I am considering making a native carion flower plant garden near the trees to make area more attractive to pollinators prior to the pawpaws flowering. Was wondering it anyone else had tried that idea. I've found 3 somewhat promising options in my area of Ohio.

These seem to be an especially symbiotic options https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_sessile https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_erectum

And this could be grown if you have a bog garden https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplocarpus_foetidus

 

I'm currently hunting down pawpaw trees, Blueberry bushes, black raspberry, and other native fruits for my garden.

Looking for suggestions.

I looked into black cherries, but they get too large and too easily wind damaged for the proximity I'd have to plant them to my house.

 

I have no photos or videos, but I was on Topsail Island on vacation on June 4th around 11pm, where I saw a decently bright moving object erupt with a huge v-shaped tail for atleast 30 seconds. The tail was a faint green color. It fell from the eastern sky into the northeastern sky.

Google has been particularly unhelpful. Was wondering if you fine folks had any idea. I'm assuming space debris. But I cant find any other reports of anyone seeing it.
