I wandered through a Walmart food section earlier today. I'm pretty sure we have become a snack country instead of a ingredient country. If 95% of the "food" went away the country would be healthier off. I wonder what the new EBT rules will do for supply and demand of this stuff.

Building Layens hives let's you do weird things. I am going to try to overwinter the honeybee swarm trap inside the beehive instead of moving frames. This could be amazing or a disaster. We'll see next year

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

I love moving bees between places. I imagine this is what it feels like to be a logging truck. No one tailgates you. Also, I'm like 3 months late picking up my swarms

They really need to put a law on the books that says if the local government doesn't get back to you in a reasonable time your permit is just approved. The county septic lady apparently has been on vacation for the last 3 weeks so zero septics have been approved.

Is it just me or does it seem like fall is coming earlier this year? Looking at the flowers around me, it seems like they're a couple weeks ahead for the fall flow. Also, I have a couple trees changing colors.

did anyone taste it? Or are they looking for volunteers?.

Are we sure they aren't geoengineering? It seems like it has rained a crazy amount this year. Every time I tried to move bees it was raining.

The best part about being a homeowner is you can just build things. Did I need a fireplace and a mantel underneath my TV? Probably not. Was it fun to build absolutely.

I wonder how much transparency and automation would help the housing issue. We got a perk for a house about a month ago and are just waiting on the letter from the county. The engineer mentioned that if you ask the health department about the status, you automatically get put to.

The math education in the United States would seriously benefit from reduction in gatekeeping. You don't need to introduce everything in Greek notation to begin with. I get the use of the notation but in stats 101 maybe introduce the formulas in English and then explain how the.

Building on the East Coast really kind of. Makes me want to move back to the Midwest. I was talking to my father and they were installing a stairlift at his church and apparently it was mind-blowing to the company that they didn't have any permits and there was no one to talk to.

There's not much better than a baby in treefrog mode sleeping on your chest. I will be here for the next hour or two.

Can we just get full self driving already? I'm tired of turning off FSD to text and drive. This has to be significantly more unsafe than whatever the software does.

Figured out the toddler berry hack. Pick your own berry farm. They might be $7 a pound at checkout luckily the toddler ate 15 lb "tasting" the berries

Mom and baby leaving hospital today. Cleared by OB and pediatrician at 9:30 am. The expected time they'll be done with the paperwork is at noon. We are stuck here for 2 and 1/2 hours because of administrative overhead. There has to be a better way.

Can we stop this nonsense? Pretty sure father implies that the person is a male. Also, biological reality exists such that the only way you can be a father is to be a male

From the dad perspective, the last week of pregnancy is pretty annoying. You're stuck in the house. Waiting for the baby to show up. Before I offend the moms, I realize this is not the same as what she is going through.

Why is it that almost every kids book/show has a single mom or no talk of dad?.

Shopping for savory s'mores tonight. Think it's a win if I can't find the cracker aisle in the store that I go into at least once a week.

Why do we install vent fans in bathrooms that exhaust to outside when you could do a dehumidifier built in that drains into the plumbing?.
