  • Poverty gardening - APHIDS!

  • If you have a spray bottle you can mix water and a bit of soap and spray down the flowers to knock them off. It also makes a slippery surface so they should have a hard time getting back on. Though tomatoes don’t usually like water on the stalks or leaves too much so be careful and try to target the affected areas only.

  • Cables?

    Jump

  • You can do something like this cable washcloth! There are a bunch of similar patterns of various cable sizes.

  • On Feb. 26, 2025 Amazon will remove your ability to download your ebooks to your computer or any other device except Kindle. (crosspost from !bookclub)

    Jump

  • As an alternative Kobo offers price matching and carries almost all of the same books minus some indie exclusives (which is a huge shame, there are some good indie book series I guess I won’t be finishing)

  • With cheat/game codes mostly gone, what do people use instead for their single-player games (that don't involve microtransactions)?

    Jump

  • Mods can be an option but some are harder than others to use. I do find that a lot of mainstream games have a pretty good range of difficulties these days (including story mode etc), but definitely not all games.

  • Bookshop.org is now selling ebooks

    Jump

  • This sounded great until the part where you can only read the ebooks using their app and you can’t transfer to kobo/kindle. That is a dealbreaker for me unfortunately.

  • Who's your favorite person that plays thru games on YouTube?

    Jump

  • I love Mapo! He’s always super thorough with his playthroughs and finds so many hidden things it’s impressive.

    I also recommend ChristopherOdd as well for more strategy based games.

  • Are you writing a book ?

    Jump

  • I have written the first draft of 2.5 books!

    The first one was the 1/2 which just got a little messy and I didn’t enjoy it. It was my first major writing project and I just didn’t organize it well enough. I also grew out of the idea quickly and decided to stop and not waste more time.

    My second book I managed to finish at 70k I believe (it’s been a while). Similarly I grew out of the idea by the end and it would have needed major revisions to push through editing.

    My third and most recent one I really love, the first draft is complete and I am slowly editing it. Though editing seems to be my weakness it seems because it’s taking far longer than it should. This one I would love to actually clean up and eventually publish but yeah, going to take a while to get there!

    I use Scrivener to write in and I highly recommend it! (you can usually find some discount codes for it as well). I like to use it to quickly draft the storyline and then expand each scene as I go. It also has some handy features for organizing research notes and pictures. It’s packed with so many features so it’s a pretty popular writing app among writers in general.

  • Over under on having more green beans than I know what to do with?

    Jump

  • You can always freeze/can them for later use!

  • Extra art

    Jump

  • Fancy! This looks like it came from one of those collector edition sites for books! Definitely a pretty piece to put on the shelf.

  • The times they are a-changin'

    Jump

  • What a beautiful majestic boy he became! Love the little baby meow.

    Jump

  • Yeah, after finishing the Wheel of Time series it felt like I really lost something important and it was so hard to get into other fantasy worlds for a while due to how immersed I was in it for so long.

  • Bookmark

    Jump

  • I remember once reading that someone did this for real. And another person would tear their paperback book in half if it was too thick to hold. I was very sad for a while after that.

  • wink

    Jump

  • That’s the most aggressive wink I’ve ever seen!

  • Do you guys have any book reading goals for next year?

    Jump

  • 100+ is very impressive! It sounds like you essentially finish a book every 3-4 days to get those numbers. How you keep that up consistently? I feel like I can do that for a month or two and then tend to need a break before picking up more.
