Dad, husband, and mechanical engineer based in beautiful New Jersey. On Reddit I’m u/engibineer.
I’m running a Pixelfed instance off of an old PC in my house. Eventually I 'd like to set up a personal Lemmy instance as well.
Venus flytraps are great plants to keep, but they’re not effective for pest control, especially against tiny gnats. The gnats you have are probably fungus gnats and your houseplants’ soil is infested with their larvae. To get them under control you have to innoculate the soil with nematodes that eat the larvae. The particular brand I got on Amazon aren’t available anymore, but the species was s. feltiae and they worked really well. There might be other good or better nematodes, but that’s how you get rid of the gnats.
AntennaPod is pretty great. Apparently it’s compatible with a synchronizing service called gpodder, which I believe you can run yourself.
Ugh I’ve never encountered a black widow, but I just felt that sentence.
I think recluses and widows do sometimes live around here in NJ, but I haven’t seen any yet. Regardless, I’m ready for them.
The only spiders I kill are the yellow sac spiders because they will bite you in your sleep and cause a nasty infection. It happened to me once.
Don’t you think we already deal with them a lot afk?
Because you look delicious probably.
It would be nice if there was some kind of open Internet code of conduct that could be pointed to as a reason for defederating, which journalists could reference in their coverage.
EEE is definitely the SOP, but I’m not sure how that’s supposed to work here. I don’t think there are that many users to steal away from Mastodon et al, compared to how they did with XMPP, for example.
Thanks. I hadn’t seen that one.
Oh I mean IRL I would probably react harshly to my wife breaking that boundary, but the worst case scenario is that she does it with someone who’s got terrible vibes and just cannot hang.
It’s occurred to me that if my wife ever cheated on me, maybe instead of getting upset I could just make friends with her boyfriend. We’d already have it in common that we like having sex with my wife so maybe we’d have other stuff in common, too.
Nothing. The admins giveth and the admins taketh away.
I have the Withings and it works well as a digital scale. However, I think it’s body composition measurements/calculations are bogus. It thinks I have a 3.8% bone mass, which would be 6.7 lbs. That’s right it thinks I’m some kind of bird cryptid.
Yes! I finally just set up a dynamic DNS so I could get my music away from home.
I bet prison in NZ is like Mordor.
All is well, apparently.
That’s a good question, Rotting Cum. The only crimes I’m planning on right now are saving some money doing diy maintenance on the family car while finding an interesting little project for myself.
