Unfortunately 24 hour libraries, or even late night, are pretty much non-existent now because 1) parents use them as babysitters and 2) nothing against homeless people but librarians aren’t equipped or staffed to take care of them appropriately.

And now with the book bans librarians are in short supply too, which means shorter hours and even fully closing on some weekdays.

Support your local library, everyone! See if there’s a “friends of” group. It’s a great way to connect with your community.

Just providing context. Not “blaming it on the town.”

I’m unfortunately very familiar with this town. It’s an industrial wasteland with no real job market and drugs are rampant.

This story is unfortunately not at all surprising.

honey bees should be raised in land they are native to.

I just wish we could stop with the misinformation surrounding them. I wish we would protect native bees instead of worshipping invasives (in the US).

God bless Firefox reader mode.

Good VPNs have adblockers.

Everyone on the Internet should have one now. Also a password generator.

Thanks for your response! If you light events with broadcast cameras, I am the annoying video engineer behind the camera controls asking about flicker and color balance. I hope they keep making y’all’s specialty bulbs. Looks like there’s a big list of exceptions!

I wonder if this will have any effect on the film industry…

Condolences OP. Mine got bent recently too and it’s not looking good…

I think it’s important to note this will up your backyard tick count exponentially

It stays on my phone for the sole reason that I have notifications turned on from a local weather account

You ok there bud?

I would absolutely love non-motorized suggestions for a leaf mulcher. My compost pile cannot keep up and I don’t have a lawn mower…

I don’t have a mower. I leave the leaves through spring and then begin composting them. I have more leaves than pile though.

Thanks for responding! I guess I should have specified that I was asking for outdoor spaces/gardening…

I was looking at leaf mulchers and wondering if it was worth buying. Right now the only thing I need is a weed eater!

Agreed. Hopefully it’s just a temporary reaction because of all the skepticism floating about.

I had two friends quit call centers within a month of joining because it immediately sent them into a depression.

I’m sorry for everything you have to deal with at work.

To add on to your comment:

It’s also normal for Americans to have a built in water filter in their fridge that also filters ice. But they’re expensive so sometimes people just buy a bypass for it that doesn’t filter anything.

More recently (last 5-10 years or so) people who want filtered water have began installing filters under their kitchen sink or even filters that install at main water line and filter the whole house. These are quite expensive. But American water quality varies pretty tremendously so it’s understandable in some places.

Imagine paying $250k and the pilot pulls out the player 2 controller

Why did they name it Titan??
