Monthly Personal Betterment Thread in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been trying to cultivate my home as a place my friends feel comfortable showing up to. There's a bunch of people (too many) in my life who are going through tough stuff, and lately more and more they just show up for a chat, reading a book in peace and quiet, or sleep over and have a night away from home if they need it.

It's not so much them being welcome that feels like an accomplishment (because that's just a given), but rather that they seem to have internalized that it's OK to ask for help/support and feel comfortable enough with me/us to come here.

As I'm typing this out I'm not sure if this fits in the "betterment" category, but it's a positive change in my life I've noticed and worked on lately, so submitting it anyway. 😊

New moderator saying hi! (beehaw.org)
 

Hi everyone, I thought I'd say hi in this new community as a new moderator. I'm Foon (she/her), and I love table top games. My partner and I have been gaming a lot in the past 5 years or so, and we have a bunch of friends that turned into boardgamers too, and boardgamers that we turned into friends. So on average we get almost a game a day in.

I'm excited to discuss all things tabletop gaming with you all. Some of my favourite games are Gloomhaven/Frosthaven, Spirit Island, Aeon's End, Terraforming Mars.

What are y'all's favourite games?

People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think you've already had plenty of replies here, but yeah here in western Europe, straight from the tap. I'm also fortunate not to have any chlorine in my water. It's delicious.

One thing about the chlorine, it also just evaporates over time without boiling. Filling a jug of water and leaving it standing around for a while will also get rid of that chlorine smell/taste!

[Homemade] Falafel in c/[email protected]

I quite enjoy falafel and I'd like to try my hand at making them, but deep frying is not an option for me. Anyone have suggestions how to make them in a skillet or oven?

This is the funniest caterpillar I've seen. It's just a stack of frowny faces. (Water betony, shargacucullia scrophulariae) (beehaw.org)
 

Every time I look at this picture I just giggle.

Monster mini from Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood (chapter 9) (beehaw.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/676951

This mollusc monster is a lot bigger than what I usually paint, and it took me forever to finish it. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Would love to hear what you think.

Yay, I found this place!

I think there's an issue with spoiler tags on Jerboa (as in, they don't work). Gonna test it to make sure

Test spoiler text

Is that the correct formatting? If so, it indeed doesn't work on Jerboa :(

In-ground (worm) composting? (beehaw.org)
 

I have a happy worm bin that takes care of most of my composting needs. I use the castings around my garden, mostly when I'm planting something new, but I also feed my established plants with it when I can.

But! I've also been thinking it'd be great to deliver castings right into the ground, and would love to use semi-buried containers in the beds to compost right there. There are plenty of native composting worms in my location.

I have a bunch of small (1-1.5 liter ish?) buckets with lids that I'd love to repurpose for this. I was thinking I'd make a bunch of holes in the body and lid of the buckets, and bury them up to the rim. Then fill with some bedding and some scraps, and inoculate with come castings and some worms. And just feed whenever there's space, hoping the castings spread a bit into the ground, or otherwise dig it up when it's full of castings and bury it in a new spot.

My main concern is that the buckets would be too small. The reason I'm aiming for this size is honestly because I want to use these containers for something useful instead of tossing them out. I'd love any suggestions and to hear about your experiences with in-ground composting!
