  • Something I've been wanting to work on is repairing old analogue electronics and putting those to use, like VCRs and the likes. While I totally get why we've moved on from older formats like VHS, I feel tossing that generation of electronics aside when they still work perfectly fine is a bit of an injustice considering how durable a lot of those were made.

    Something that's especially stood out is the old CED format. Have never seen a player despite having seen the discs out and about sometimes, and the ones online never seem to be in working condition.

  • I think 20 Mule Team Borax has the same effect on their box.

  • Taking a look at Swisscows right now. My only concern with them is that I know they filter out sites with adult content, and I do have worries on how that's applied to results with explicit song lyrics or album covers.

  • I gave this a shot since I do like and trust Mojeek, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to bring in any results when I use the search "site:bandcamp.com attribution non-commercial share alike" (not in quotes).

  • Putting personal thoughts aside, Imma be blunt and say this seems kinda hyper-specific for a community.

  • Honestly depends, but if you want an all-around good instance on a misskey fork, try lethallava.land

  • I have some stoneware plates that are from IKEA. My worries with using a plate were both the heat potentially cracking and/or breaking the plate, or the pot boiling over while the contents are hidden underneath unlike with a glass lid.

  • Honestly Misskey forks for all their flaws can absolutely take this opportunity to properly advertise themselves as viable alternatives. As someone who uses a Misskey fork, I love the UI in comparison to Mastodon, and the communities in Misskey forks are a lot less techie and a lot more laid back and goofy most of the time from my personal experience.

  • Thanks for the tip, I'll go ahead and toss them then and take this as lesson learned.

  • With worms though? Wouldn't they see that as a potential pest attractor?

  • Someone else suggested going to a composting site, but freezing the waste wasn't mentioned. This seems like a step in the right direction, but still worried about it thawing during the trip and the wastewater leaking through the bag, causing a mess and disturbing other bus passengers with the smell.

    Never had it happen with waste bags, but I've seen a few times where people (my family included growing up) would bring in bagged bottles and cans to return for bottle deposit, and the bus drivers were never pleased when the bags leaked.

  • My main concern with that option is transport. Since I don't drive and don't plan on getting a license, I'd likely have to take the bus, and I would hate to disturb others with the smell of rotten food and/or food scraps.

  • No roof garden or balcony, but we do have a small garden on the property outside by the corner where the road turns.

  • Might be a hard sell to the landlord honestly, but I can ask them if that's an option available regardless.

  • Unfortunately not, but we do have a community garden on the property grounds. I can try to find someone familiar with it and ask them.

  • Checks out. Stein, Trump, Harris is a weird order of votes

  • Okay, but which one is easier for diagrams?

    I'd say use the left for diagrams, and the right for reference as to how things look on the inside.
