Maybe Storm In a Tea Cup by Helen Czerski for a book outside your comfort zone. It’s quite the interesting exploration of the principles of physics that underpin the world around us.

Ello, and thanks for the shoutout! Was there anything in particular you wanted to ask me about?

Thank you very much for these (very) thorough selections! And the associated links as well haha

Is there a particular aspect you’re really into right now?

Hmm, a surprisingly difficult question. I really do love all aspects of botany and plants, but I feel like I don’t know much about specific parts of a plant and classifications of parts (like reniform), soil science, and cultivation techniques like grafting.

All hail

Glasses. The ability to see so much better than I otherwise could leaves me astonished every time I put them on.

It wasn’t that hard for me to flash a Chromebook with Linux using this guide

I’m currently looking at some thyme through propagation. No idea where I’m going to put it, but I’m excited either way!

I was just looking at Monarda didyma on Wikipedia and here it pops up on Lemmy. How you support your local ecosystem is inspiring

Yea I think the balance is fine lol. There was a period when I was shredding up a lot of browns, but I think I have readjusted enough

My pile is on the soil (I actually have two right now, but I’m referring to the main one). It just rained not too long ago so the pile is decently wet as of now, but I think it generally stays at a decent moisture level. I try to aim for the wrung out towel level recommended by the infographic on the main page.

She executed her strategy perfectly

Thank you for sharing your journey! It’s very interesting and informative to see how others have brought more privacy into their lives. I noticed that you were using something from Simple Mobile Tools. I know you said you were going to replace it eventually, but you should soon, especially if you got it from the Playstore, rather than from F-Droid, because they were acquired.

I mean how could you say no to a doggo like that

Thanks. I don’t know why I didn’t mention the exact small sample size

I mean I guess. They aren’t actively fighting or anything like that to my knowledge. I personally think the Privacy Guides is the better resource, because PrivacyTools has vpn recommendations like Nord and Surfshark with affiliate links that are not actively disclosed from my quick check.

Try Brave Search, Duckduckgo, Startpage, or Searxng. For more detail on these recommendation (that I definitely did not just steal), check out the Privacy Guides page, or The New Oil for a different, albeit overlapping, set of recommendations and take on search engines.

Besides the obvious Minecraft recommendation, maybe Terraria, Satisfactory, and if you’re willing to allow it, something like Smite would be another good option for him to play with his friends.

Very distinguished gentleman/lady

Seems interesting as a supplemental source of energy though.
