im a 90s zoomer cusper and we used vhs well into the mid 2000s. its not just millenials or gen x.
probably half our vhs tapes were recordings of tv broadcasts or other tapes. the one i remember most was a recording of rankin-bass rudolph, commercial breaks and all. (and it technically isnt piracy, as the US supreme court determined in 1984 that private home recordings counted as fair use.)
what a coincidence - we grilled out yesterday!
aside from veggie burgers, i'm echoing the top comment: don't sleep on grilled vegetables. peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, corn on the cob, eggplant, etc.
in my experience modern "dumbphones" are still just smartphones with bad hardware.
what actually helped me with phone usage and doomscrolling was completely deleting all mainstream/algorithmic social media, being extremely aggressive about blocking problematic domains with DNS (so it can apply to all my devices, not just my smartphone), rejecting unnecessary apps, limiting notifications to only specific people/times, etc.
tl;dr being mindful and intentional about how you use all technology will have a bigger impact than just replacing your phone with a different one :)
planet earth III's second-to-last episode ("human") is focused solely on humans and our relationship with nature (good and bad), while the final episode ("heroes") is specifically about conservation. more is sprinkled throughout, such as the wuthathi people protecting raine Island in "coasts," so i recommend watching the whole series.
the green planet is by the same team and is just like planet earth III, except it's about plants instead.
there's been many a time i've been out in the middle of nowhere with a friend or family member and google maps stops working on their phone, and i get to pull out OM and save the day :^)
this is what i do! it works really well.
i remember everyone sharing files (mostly movies) via usb in my IT class, in vocational school. a lot of people came to me because i had all the episodes of samurai jack (it wasnt remastered yet, so getting the full series was difficult). that was half a decade ago though, and i haven't had a reason to do it since </3
idk if theyll be suitable for your situation, but here's some native ohio fruits im aware of:
(the ohio pawpaw festival is coming up this weekend btw! theres always people selling not just pawpaw fruits, but pawpaw trees and other native plants there.)
sorry if this doesn't count as "gardening"--i dont know any better active communities to post this question in. i also searched google/ddg but the results felt like SEO spam to me.
someone i know planted a yoshino cherry tree last year. this is its second year, and it's growing very well without any problems. what we were wondering about is there's a lone branch right at the bottom of the trunk--does it need to be pruned off in the winter/spring or anything like that? it makes the rest of the tree look strange, but neither of us have much experience with growing trees, let alone ornamental ones.
any other advice is also appreciated :) thanks.
so cute!
