@cambridgeport90 More an American style bike then. Throaty. those don't wake me up with the 'I'd better get under something' thoughts.

@cambridgeport90 There is a motorcycle that often goes past my window early in the morning. One of those Japanese style crotch-rockets.

The real problem is that when that engine is spinning up it sounds almost exactly like the red alert sirens that warn us of incoming missile/rocket/mortar attack. it's woken me up many times with a start.

In East Germany, a gamer scene emerged just before the fall of communism. Teenagers met at a computer club to swap and play C64 games. The state watched with interest.

@SquidPresident@cryptids.online I'm getting a kitten next Thursday. It'll be my first pet in a decade. I'm spazzing a little and really excited, but also got that anxiety stomach drop going on.

HOWEVER!

His name will be hallowed!

@SquidPresident@cryptids.online That would go well with my frozen oven french-fries right from the bag.

@SquidPresident@cryptids.online I thought leeches were the doctors of the invertebrate world, though. I have all this pro-leech literature in the form of helpful pamphlets. Surely pamphlets wouldn't lie to me, Mr. President.

@SquidPresident@cryptids.online Mr. President, have you thought about trying leeches?

Went to a brewery for a few drinks with the labmates, and the guy pulling the pints recognised me from singing shanties at a different local bar. Maybe inner city areas can be communities after all (or at least encompass them)

@arteteco @cambridgeport90 Neat! Are you using like drip irrigation or something like that for irrigation?

Is the end result better in terms of overall yield?

@arteteco Is there a benefit in growing it under the plastic vs outside the plastic?

I am happy to see how many veggies can grow underneath a small 6 sqm polytunnel.
Right now plants are not doing better than the outside ones, but it's a good insurance in case of bad weather.

Since I do not mulch anymore here (plants are very close), irrigation is automated and I don't have to worry about bad weather... is basically a 1 day job and don't think about it again until food is ready!
