Planted tomato and jalapeño seeds into some planters I bought today. 12 tomato, 8 jalapeño. I bet not everything will survive but I will see who will win the battle royale, not the Fortnite kind, the Beat Takeshi kind.

@scribus It probably will. These species are of the generic and common kind. I think that they will survive and give me headaches when they outgrow their pots and spots where they are currently standing. If they all grow it'll be fine, even when they die I won't be sad. I see it as my dry run if I'm capable of taking care of them. My plan was to have a green house next year and plant a bunch of old and uncommon tomato species: yellow pear-shaped, deep purple, some with tiger stripes, some elongated egg-shaped, and other weird ones.

@scribus Duly noted. The reports look promising so far when it comes to being an uncomplicated and tasty tomato. The plant grows up to 180cm and has super heavy fruits. The infrastructure to keep them up has to be built first for this mammoth. Up to 350g per tomato is crazy.

I was doing some garden work today. Within an hour or two I managed to fill up the trash can for all the biodegradable garbage. I have to wait two weeks in order to continue cutting down the bushes. The weather will be bad anyway in the coming days, so I wouldn't do gardening anyway. If I am at the same point next time I'll probably have to ask a neighbor for using their trash can capacity.

@adiwan Any way to get issued another one? Especially if you'll need to be doing a lot of work often.
-
@scribus I could get a bigger one but the monthly costs are way higher. 120L (the one I have) costs 15€ a month and the next size up would be two of them for double the price. In average I overpay for the size I use. In Winter I barely used 1/5th of the capacity. From May to November the pickup frequency increases from once every two weeks to once a week. That will do basically the same without paying more. In this regard I have to wait a month. Being patient.

There is a ton of talk from boomers that millenials and genz are social garbage. Yesterday I saw a pair of self-entitled 70-80 year olds (man and wife) packing out their shopping cart at a closed checkout line while the super market was clearly understaffed AND were demanding another checkout line to be opened and then saying (more to themselves) that they will go without paying.

I work in a very Republican town in a very liberal county (the county was 70-30 Biden but I’m pretty sure the town itself was the inverse) and what’s crazy about that is that unlike virtually the rest of northern Virginia, the white moms are the republicans and the very elderly are the liberals. Just had a young woman shoot me a dirty look when I mentioned our staffing shortage being partly caused by historically low unemployment, while the elderly man speaking to me was telling me Texas needs to send all their immigrants up here if they don’t want them.

I'll never recover financially: A glass bottle broke because it fell gently over. The fall height was literally the height of the bottle itself. The contents: a mate tea lemonade. It was the last full bottle. The costs: 98 cents + 15 cents of bottle deposit and the knowledge that I won't have a bottle for work.
On the positive side: The kitchen floor needed some cleaning anyway. Also I can play the game of "find the invisible little pointy foot stabbers" for a few days.about 2 months ago from web -
I woke up at 4am last night from a nightmare that I had been killed in a mass shooting and then immediately posted this image in a group chat with no context and then went back to sleep http://rainbowdash.net/url/876574

20 minutes later it is fixed. I fixed it temporarily with a zip tie and went to the hardware store to get the right screws and nuts. Obviously I bought more than I actually needed to fix that. What I learned is that I don't have enough screws and nuts.

@scribus I bought a locking nut that has a ring of nylon in the threads. I hope it will hold. I don't want to use Loctite as I fear it'll make problems in the future with maintenance. I have enough replacements right now. Whenever it will happen again I'll definitely try using Loctite.

Recently I heard a strange clank noise while cycling. It turned out I lost a screw that attaches my bike rack to the back mud fender to it. Nothing big but to my dismay I have not the right hardware right now. I lack a 35mm long M5 screw with an appropriate M5 lock nut.

Hello, old-timer just checking in saying hello. I have given up on IT since the pandemic hit and now work in a warehouse. Much nicer, higher pay and don't have to talk to anyone. Also been doing animation work with clipstudio paint. Hope you all are doing well, and a early happy birthday to the RDN!

@cabal The messiah has returned!.... Haven't thought that an IT job could be out-waged by a warehouse job. Good that you are more content with both the better pay and the kind of job you have now. I don't like to talk to people and yet I need to more often than I like. I bought myself a house and thus improved my sleep by getting away from noisy neighbours and I also got myself doing some creative things and low-key reviving my personal tumblr page.

My favorite mug that I own for about 25 years has finally cracked. The handle broke on its own from the handling and the temperature changes. The crack was relatively clean. I "fixed" it with super glue but I have little confidence that it'll hold more than a year and I think it'll show other crack in that time.
about 2 months ago from web-
@scribus The thought did occur to me. The break was quite clean. Also I got the thought after the glue has already set. I also imagined if the handle breaks completely off that I get myself a good chunk of hard wood and make a wooden mug handle and glue it to the mug with an epoxy glue. The wooden handle wouldn't be dishwasher safe however it will transfer less heat.

I haven't thought that speaking in English for over 4 hours was that exhausting. I guess it'd be the same with the same amount of trying to find the right words. I was helping a colleague to get started with C# and I was reviewing a CV.
