Well if you want to really help pollinators putting in a little more care than zero will pay big dividends.

I'd say build or buy a planter, 4' ish or smaller, lug some good dirt up, and use an ollas in the center. An ollas is an unglazed terracotta pot that you bury in the centerof the planter with the spout sticking above the dirt. then fill with water once or twice a week or so and the water slowly leeches out and waters the planter.

Pick out any plant that flowers that you like thats labeled as a perrenial and full sun. Some will be labeled as pollinator friendly. But the bees in my area go nuts for anything, cucumber pepper I had a hummer go for bell pepper flowers once.

Get like 4-6 plants for a 4' planter, depending on how big they get. Plant em. Water em real good for two weeks to get the roots established. Like every day water em for two weeks. Then you can go to using just the ollas every so offen and some extra water in heat waves. After 4-6 months sprinkle in some fertilizer to help keep the nutrients in the soil good.

Over winter, take the ollas out to avoid a freeze. Put back in spring. Probably a 2L ollas or small is all you need.

If you really can't be bothered, try hardy hens and chicks. They are small plants that come in lots of variety and make small baby plants. You can pinch off a baby plant and stick it in a random rockwall and it will probably survive. They aren't gonna help a pollinator though, more ornamental. Or get into cactuses.

This is very cool. But I'm thumb fingered idiot.

How can I check and see if anyone in my area had started an instance I can join?

So... you really like dating Sims?

 

I'd like to add some sort of gif library to this keyboard. Is that possible?

I saw a comment on github about it but I have not figured it out myself.

I'm a new user, love it so far.

Totally agree on China and Taiwan. China is just waiting until they are sure they can invade without a lot of international attention (which trump is not helping)

Whats the Iran Isreal bit? Something new I missed? Or just the general tensions and on and again off again spots?

Fuck. That hits hard over here. Slightly more than I make in a senior management position.

And I had to fight hard to get our new hires $20/hr

Sooo did she actually see ol' musky's weird message? Or was this just her doing her thing?

Article doesn't really say. Seems more like she's just doing her thing and Elon chose to have tiny dick energy at a convenient time.

Well yea... Hes kinda always has that.

Thanks for the advice. I think ive been convinced to wait and see where the steam machine pricing falls.

I was thinking pre-built just to have something easier and focus on learning the software side. But yea lots of comments saying it'll save a lot of money so I'll make a while project of it.

 

Ive not had a PC or gaming PC in 15 years. I want to get back into it now.

Im fairly against windows. I'd like to try a Linux system and thought this would be a fun way to get into Linux.

Ive been looking at some black friday sales here Newegg sales

Its been so long since ive looked at PC specs I feel like im completely new. Ive read that an AMD GPU can be easier for Linux so I started there.

So Ive got two questions!

What are some must have specs in you opinion to run most modern games, and would you have a #1 recommend for a prebuilt to get started with?

What disto is best for a total newbie who wants to use it for gaming and eventually transition for anything/everything else?
