    I’m sorry if it came off that way; I didn’t think anything of it, my reply was more just “I haven’t experienced that but I believe you so genuinely thanks for the added info” :)

    I genuinely appreciate when people share information with me, especially if it’s from a perspective I don’t have, so I appreciate the time you took, not once but twice, to pass on information, not just to me but to anyone else who might read it.

    However, in my area a no soliciting sign covers basically everything except politics and census. Anyone who knocks on or leaves garbage at a door with a no-soliciting sign can and should be reported, and if they keep getting reported, they get fined, lose their permit, or can be sued for trespassing. It doesn’t matter if they are selling junk or selling religion, it’s still a solicitor according to local law, and is therefore not allowed. One of the few things we do right here.

    This definition isn’t from my specific local laws, as I can’t easily find those online, but is reasonably close so I’m linking it anyway, and these increased regulations are all over the place, not just my state/area. I know these regulations because I did canvassing and figured I should brush up on it since the people in charge were not from the area and were giving bad advice.

    The code defines solicitor as any person who distributes literature, who is obtaining information or opinions, who is seeking to obtain contributions of money, services, property, or financial assistance of any kind, or who is attempting to promote any cause or conviction. … Both Solicitors and Transient Merchants are restricted to a time period of 9:00 am-9:00 pm and cannot call upon a dwelling with a posted No Soliciting sign.

  • I tell anyone who comes by that I was disfellowshipped/excommunicated (depending on what group they are from), and that they probably don’t want to be talking to me.

    They never come back. I think they blacklist the address when that happens, because they genuinely aren’t supposed to talk to you if you’ve been kicked out of the church, I guess.


  • Usually both, in my experience.

    You’ll have fans for plants that firm up stems and stuff, in addition to helping with transpiration.

    Then you’ll have fans or passive vents near the highest point that move air outside, usually for the sake of venting excess heat and humidity. If you live somewhere cold, these probably stay closed through colder times and are active/open only during the height of summer (these are often the passive vents). If you live somewhere warm, it’ll probably always be active fan-driven, and usually running.

    A lot of people have their ventilation system hooked to climate control sensors, so it only engages when it crosses a certain threshold.




  • To be clear, those are usually for any handicap, as they are outfitted with wheelchair access and usually have extra adults riding along to help.

    They are (or at least were in my area at that time) much more comfortable, similar to public transit busses. I got to ride along with a friend with a muscular problem on one a few times in the late 90s early noughties and it was lux.




  • If you ever feel so inclined, and want to try again, try blending your weed with hemp (cbd-only).

    The strains they have out there these days are designed to maximize thc, but it’s at the cost of balance. Thc and cbd sort of limit each other in a nice way, but modern weed is low on cbd so all you get is the harsh high and none of the calm or relaxation. Lots of people get anxiety from smoking modern weed that never did with classic mods or ditch weed.

    If you use just a bit of weed with a bunch of hemp (like 10% weed tops) it’s a lot more like the old-school experience. Very mild and pleasant.

    It may not be enough to prevent the panic attacks, idk :( it helped with the smoking anxiety for me, though.








  • There’s a place near me that I don’t go to very often, and almost never if I’m alone. They have great food and it’s pretty cheap, but they don’t have WiFi.

    That normally wouldn’t be a problem, because I rarely use any of my cell data, but it’s a super old building full of interference and I can only get cell signal if I happen to get one of the 3 seats within 10 foot of the front windows.

    If I do go by myself, I get weird looks for bringing comic books or video games and just existing by myself, but there’s nothing else to do while waiting for food so…

    So you are telling me I should have stayed up until 6:05AM, rather than going to bed when I physically couldn’t handle doomscrolling anymore at 6:04?

    Why wasn’t there anything good in the prior 12-24 hrs? What kind of casino is this, to not give me even a teeny tiny dopamine hit to keep me coming back?
