We use that and just paste it into the codebase.

I've also used a bulk export plugin that autonames things. Would have to lookup the plugin name if you're interested.

Ah ha! Counterintuitive on not watering but the scarring part makes sense. Will keep my eye out for other trees to try it on, would love a little Joshua tree forest. Thanks for the advice.

Dug around the plant to keep the roots as undisturbed as possible, moved via truck less than 1 block, immediately replanted into non-amended ground (have heard that rich soil can kill them quickly), watered in, continued watering occasionally (~monthly). After about 6 months 3 had died. These were only about 1 foot tall, from a neighbor who had clearance to remove.

FWIW, with aloe, a similar process had much greater success of transplant.

Not too many grass lawns in the area luckily :). From what I can tell, they are cutting them down to put up the building itself. Seems to be a bigger problem on small lots. What makes me sad is seeing places where they leave the lone tree but rip up 100% of the other native plants that create an ecosystem with the trees. No longer a great spot for wildlife and it makes me wonder how it affects the health of the tree.

“It simplifies the process for builders to get a permit to remove trees and requires a fee that would go toward a conservation fund. ”

One problem has been that the penalty fee for ignoring the process was (at least historically) lower than the permit. I read multiple articles about developers ignoring permitting and paying the penalty when/if caught. My favorite was one where they claimed they “didn’t know” it was required, but were caught while digging a ditch to hide the evidence.

I don’t know enough about the new legislation to know if that imbalance would still remain.

From what I have read and experienced, Joshua trees are very difficult to transplant, but that could be with different tech. Do you have any resources for the technique you mention, would be love to learn more. Fwiw, I’ve tried and failed 3 times with little ones (that were going to be destroyed regardless) and have one transplant that is doing ok.

Yes, you’re right. Good read

This article is timely if you happened to listen to 99% invisible's latest episode on Wilderness[0]. There was a whole tangent on why wheeled vehicles are not allowed, even wheelbarrows. Turns out it's because someone realized humans always want bigger things. :-)

Delicious. They also have another pizzeria called Delancey. Dino’s is old school east coast. Delaney is thin crust Italian.

You might try watering with diluted BTI (also known as mosquito dunks) for fungus gnats in soil.

FWIW I noticed that there is a smaller “retry” button next to the copy link. Agree that the labels could be improved.

Ha cool, I do the same but with a Kinesis Freestyle on risers. Been using it for over a year with good results in reducing wrist and shoulder pain.

Neat app, I like meditating and this seems useful for feedback.

Ideas to consider

- I went through the tutorial and it taught me to breathe in through nose, out through mouth. When I was trying my first day, those tips weren’t there or available so it was hard to know if I was doing what you wanted

- the labels (breathe in, etc) fade to transparent before next one ends meaning there is a gap where it’s not clear what I should be doing. Would be nice to fade in incoming direction or push the old out

- not clear the relationship between bar and box. I think I’m the box, trying to match the pace of the bar, but that’s not totally clear. Would be nice to get some feedback of “too fast” or “slow down” when out of bounds

- I like the idea of the textured backgrounds but the one I got was high contrast and made me a little dizzy. Maybe more subtle colors? Also making sure the text is distinct. Also I wasn’t clear if I was effecting them. Shouldn’t they pause when I hold?

- when inside the exercise the button says “skip” but shouldn’t it be “end early”?

Reminds me a bit of PGP and a key signing party. In that case the goal is to verify government docs to help someone verify they are who they say they are, but you can also give greater trust levels to the people you actually know.

Yes for sure, I need to upgrade my system at some point. Another one I've used is a ziplock bag partly filled with water. I don't love the idea of plastic in fermentation, but it has worked in a pinch.

Never heard this, nice tip! I just leave it out overnight if I am removing chlorine.

Agree, it is fun :-) Kefir is even easier than yogurt once you get the grains.

Agree! Tepache is easy to make and nice because it is using up "scraps".

Your method works, but to make it easier to keep the food below the brine, I put a tiny bowl (like you'd use for spices when prepping) inside the mason jar to push things down while still allowing it to bubble. Cover with a piece of cheesecloth and a rubber band.

Food below the brine is key, it will mold otherwise (as I've learned the hard way...).

It's always fun to mix peppers when fermenting. Could add a couple habaneros if you wanted heat! I also sometimes char half of them to get a smoky flavor. Just make sure some are raw so that it ferments.

This explains so much. I didn't realize this feature was removed, and I just assumed that I had somehow changed my settings to add a delay. For how I used it, long press still works pretty well, but now you have to "trust" that it is working during the delay.

The part where you have to confirm you are not a robot to subscribe to the mailing list is the best part of this, my new favorite website.

Ha, i just turned off my desktop so you can't see them all hiding there!

`defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool false` `killall Finder`

I like that simple pricing model. $10 if you like it after 2 weeks, free if you refer 2 people. Guessing it was honor system, curious how well it worked.

After using WordleBot [0] for a few days, it became clear that my last "random" guess was often the only choice left, so from this sense, this anti-wordle seems impossibly hard.

I used Headspace for about a year ~5 years ago. Before that, I had tried meditation randomly but hadn’t gotten much out of it. After a few months of using the app, I learned enough to see the benefits. It helped get me to a point where I also added IRL meditation classes and community.

I no longer use the app, but I’ve maintained a practice since. The app was useful as training wheels / structure. I was motivated to learn about meditation and it helped me.

I think any number of free resources could have worked, but paying and having structure was a motivator to continue.

Seems like a good reminder that invalidating a hypothesis is sometimes easier than validating it.

Ha, now you can use the label printer to label the machine!

Hmm, I realize I was the upload image works backwards from how I expected – I think you are actually intending me to upload a screenshot of a design to then swap out palettes. That is super cool, but on first guess I thought you were extracting from mine to make a palette. Might need a little helper text, but cool feature!

This is nice. Once of my favorite palette tools is coolors.co, and they have a nice feature that let's you hit spacebar for a new palette. Would be useful here too I think.

Also would be nice to "apply" the colors from an upload image to the various scenarios. I.e. grab X colors from image and generate would cycle through various forms of those (possible adding extra complementary colors as needed).
