It's not quite what you mean, but a woman in Ireland has planted over 1000 trees on her 3-acre plot, which was previously overrun with rushes and thought to be barren. Here are her before and after pictures, maybe it…

I feel very lucky to have had very talented and passionate teachers in my K-12 education. Their enthusiasm for their subjects was infectious! I'm currently tutoring a pupil who isn't so lucky. Trying to get her…
This blog was created in 2004 which coincides with the peak of Alton Brown's show "Good Eats" and the introduction of more "scientific cooking". Perhaps the name was inspired by that? Though the "about" section on the…
Agreed! But it also depends on the goals for the game--- min-maxing isn't the only way to play and not everyone is super competitive.

Complex sentences and uncommon words obfuscate meaning, when they should be conveying. I feel this needless complexity is often treated like country-club dues; you need to use it to belong. Patrick Henry Winston was…
I don't have any experience with Chatbot tutors, but I have used ChatGPT to troubleshoot problems. Most of the time, it hasn't helped me directly, e.g. solutions were incorrect, weird, or overly complicated. However,…
That's true! I am just a bigger fan of the pieces made with stiffer leather, which are more expensive.
Some years ago I found a leatherworker, who sells simple handbags/clutches starting at about 300 EUR. He also sells wallets and belts. He has a limited selection of styles, but they are made-to-order thus you can select…

I'm going to write my own thoughts here. 1. "Clothing does nothing interesting on its own" - Sure, clothing is not sentient, but this statement is false. Clothing provides shelter. It warms. It protects us from the sun,…
Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed her talk.
I had the same issue with the G2. I've always noticed some skipping with rollerballs, but none were as bad as the G2. It was astonishingly hard to write with. The Energels and Sarasas are the best pens I've found:…
I'm left-handed, so I like fast-drying ink. I prefer a thin, but dark line. Here are some of the pens I like using. 1. Pentel Energel needlepoints 0.5 (BLN75 or the BLN105); refills fit a Lamy Tipo. It's a great…
There's some good advice in this article, but I think it would have been more compelling, had the author not claimed 20 years of writing sans writer's block.
Lots of things correlate to procrastination, including ADHD and depression. Some procrastination techniques have helped me, lots haven’t, even more only work some of the time. I generally have to swap things out to keep…
Your response demonstrates you didn't engage with my response. ADHD is not a character flaw, it is a disability. 1. More deadlines for smaller chunks does not imply that the deadlines are stricter; it's about preventing…

I cannot overstate how odious I find opinion. Yes, people with ADHD need structure and accountability. But they don't need more shame or punishment. Shame is malignant. It is an unproductive feeling that hinders people…
I do this already. We have a binder that contains all of the projects that we have done since moving into our home sorted by area and then by year. I wouldn't do it digitally, because I also keep paint samples and notes…
Interesting... I experience this effect to the point where I almost never use the noise-cancelling function for headphones, instead I prefer passive noise insulation. Someday I'd love to have custom IEMs.
