Not exactly what you asked for, but I’m very happy with my TWSBI Eco x-fine refillable fountain pen. Writes well on random paper, doesn’t leak / leave my fingers inky. I lost my first one and tried a Scrikss and it was horrible (blurry line, leaky), so I ordered another TWSBI.

What tool to cut them off without damaging surroundings? Just a circular saw?

Cool! How did you do the joints?

The group pushing for the legislation: Beyond Plastics. (No affiliation, just trying to spotlight the helpers.)

I was wondering why environmental groups would be unhappy with this:

Meanwhile, a coalition of environmental groups, including the NRDC, is also challenging the law – but for different reasons. They say the state’s rules break the law by allowing recycling methods that create toxic waste, and by letting some plastics slip through the rules entirely by changing the definition of recycling.

“We need to make sure the recycling that happens under it is real and not imaginary and not greenwashing, and we need to make sure that all plastic products that were intended to be covered by the law are covered – and those are the loopholes that were created by the regulations that were finalized, and that’s why we’re suing now,” says Kar.

Any advice on the ants? The aphids do seem to be coming back strong every year, and I would guess ants are helping them overwinter.

Glad your tree made it!

Hah. :-D The aphids have sunk all their liquid assets into honeysuckle, but little do they know there’s a hostile takeover by a multigenerational firm underway.

My partner has used a YNM weighted blanket for a few years. I’m not sure which material it is (they seem to offer bamboo, poly, linen, and others).

That might still qualify as faceless alphabet soup though.

Wrong community + clickbait title without any real info = downvote.

How recently did you transplant it? If it’s just a couple days, it might just be recovering.

OK, 2nd sock took 45 minutes. So a bit longer than it felt like, but an amount of time is easily spend scrolling/watching videos/etc.

Thanks! Hoping to try some color patterns soon, though that looks like it involves sewing in a lot more ends.

I bought the loom and then put it off for ages anticipating a big project, and then finished it up chatting while my kid picked up Legos.

Gosh darn it, you’ll make me blush.

Old lath and plaster for me, so they don’t work that well.

I hadn’t considered thermal shock, good caution.

The other advantage of the water bottle is not adding more moisture to the problem.

The one I have has been through a half dozen refills at least, it says “JR Watkins” on it.

Is that all it is? The little blocks do feel like slightly soft bar soap.
