I am not the bravest person when it comes so socializing, so I am not very forum-savvy. However, I am a nerd who loves to learn and I am going to do my best to share what I learn just in case it helps you all. ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

Good point! I have seen them outside of university buildings here, but that’s it
That’s great!
Yes! I would have never thought of that, but you are absolutely right.
That’s true, it might be a location dependent thing! Here, where it can reach -40c, they are very important(you can get frostbite in under 10min), but elsewhere they might not be important hardly at all.
That would be great! No wet bikes!
Yes!! I’ve stood at bus stop when it’s -30c (-22 f ?) and I don’t wish it on anyone.

The porous nature of clay might also be an advantage somehow too.
Sprig🌱@slrpnk.nettoIn Person Activism@slrpnk.net•In what ways are you going to resist Trump's presidency?English8·6 months agoI’m not American, but for basic essentials, creating an online local network seems like a good idea to me. You could use it to share free clothes, food, seeds, and so on, and perhaps help run or boost local projects. The rich absolutely hate trading or gifting, so that makes it even better.
I think a huge one is also encouraging friends and family onto platforms and apps/programs that don’t sell your data. That way, you have a safe place to chat and organize without the government watching and collecting info, and without algorithms trying to bury movements.
Use trusted encrypted platforms for important chats.

Thanks! I’ll add that (also sorry the reply took so long. I haven’t been feeling well).
@[email protected] , do you have any advice by any chance?

Well for apartment buildings and empty balcony rules, yes, its the landlords.
For the outdoor laundry, its bylaws. Basically what happens is nosy neighbors report you, then a bylaw officer comes by and tells you someone made a complaint. It’s called a “Nuisance and unsightly premises bylaw.”

My town in Alberta, Canada. It actually used to be banned in a lot of Canada, like all of British Columbia, and Ontario. Old-fashioned people think it makes a neighborhoods look “trashy” and start going on about property value.
It’s sort of like how a huge amount of apartment buildings don’t allow anything on balconies because it’s “unsightly.”
Sprig🌱@slrpnk.netOPto Solarpunk Farming@slrpnk.net•“The beginner's guide to hydroponic garden, plus DIY Containers and Homemade liquid nutrients”English2·9 months agoThanks for explaining that! Your system looks great(it is even cat approved).
I am thinking of just starting with some leafy greens (like Swiss chard, kale, or spinach) on a budget, but there are so many different hydroponic builds it can get overwhelming haha. I will look more into the DWC system!
Haha sadly, hanging your laundry outdoors is illegal here(also, it would freeze in winter), and indoors it takes forever to dry ╥﹏╥
I could be wrong, but I believe pilling is most commonly caused by friction (for example, where your legs rub when you walk), so one thing that would help is not washing clothes that tend to pill with clothes that have hard things like zippers or buttons. The balls might help by cutting down on the time the clothes rub together with the air-gaps they create, but I am not sure.
I have been told before that you can remove pilling with a razor, but please look it up before you try haha.
What? Using emoji makes something ai?
I always use emoji if I think it will make reading easier for people who like to jump to specific sections. It’s not hard, either. If you hit the windows key + the period key, it brings up an emoji chart. You can either go through them, or type what one you want.
