I had an acquaintance years ago whose father owned a carpet cleaning business. When they couldn’t afford booze they’d steal carpet cleaning solution to drink. Major.alcoholics at 18/19 years old.

Our small rural county in Canada has been on required composting of food scraps with the exception of meats and fats for over 20 years. Not driven by food waste but savings in collection and disposal unfortunately. This is amazing for an entire country to be considering food waste as big a problem as it is.
I’ve been pirating content since floppy disks. I’ve watched all the changes happen in that time. Pirating is more accessible than ever.
Yea well no neighbors is the only way to go.
Ahhhhhhhh country living is amazing. Not one neighbor.
Canadian here…the cremation of sam magee
I wait till the next day and skip all that shit. Fights only.

Just have another kid.
This person on the internet told me…
I’ve got a 118 and I’m pretty sure I’m almost a cult leader now.
We have a small mixed veg farm and see a lot of changes. Especially recently. The past four years have been wild.
Our winters have gone from snow and cold October through April when I was a kid. To a few weeks of snow and cold in February mostly. We live on a very large salt water lake that used to freeze solid in winter. It doesn’t freeze enough to go ice fishing on now.
Our autumn has extended into December each year. We keep outdoor gardens from April to November now and in the 80’s when I was a kid I covered up every Halloween costume with a snow suit and fought my way to people’s doors.
Our springs have little to no rain when compared historically. We are by the Atlantic ocean and fog and rain are part of life but not so much any more.
Summers are hot now. Very hot with very high humidity. We’ve started having forest fires which were rare before due to the wet environment. Rurally there are water shortages from wells in many areas.
We’ve always had hurricanes but now they are much much more frequent and much more devastating. We are also having flash floods now regularly and power outages from heat which was previously unheard of.
We are seeing more large predator sharks and bluebottle jellyfish from across the Atlantic and our fishing grounds are moving further north as the ocean warms.
The forests are very dry and we are losing species to invasives, temperature extremes and bugs at unprecedented rates. Migratory birds are fewer than ever and we tend to have a lot of summering and breeding grounds here. The bugs don’t coat the car like they used to when we drive to town for groceries and we see this in our gardens and greenhouses as well.
It’s scary stuff. We live in an area where we can watch the changes happen in real time and yet deniers are everywhere.
I’m all about making stuff for my house. An old tool or car part, some plumbing supplies, some wired LEDs and a you tube video or two.
Or a hand made paper lantern, some wire or a lampshade frame, hot glue and cool papers or images you like.
Same idea but fabric…Go to the thrift stores and look for tapestries or cool fabrics. Hit the fabric store for trims and frills and edging. Wire lampshade frame in a cool shape, glue.
Crafting wire, bags of various beads can help too.
Outdoorsy… try one made of willows. Go collect some willow, or similar supple switch type tree. weave it or get a few nails or wire and get creative. A simple box or more difficult sphere.
Are ya weird? Look for large doll heads. Pop the eyes out, cut a hole at the back of the mouth. Drill some holes all over. Give it a wacky haircut and die job. Hot glue some colored felt inside so the holes can glow when you light it up.
Really cool glass jar or vase. Rig up a hanger. Get some glass frosting supplies. Make cool patterns with tape and design it how you like. More frosting less direct light.
Find the industrial salvage place in your area. Go have a look for objects you can turn into a light. Maybe you find a cool old exit sign or something you like.
You can get all kinds of LED fixtures. All the shapes sizes and colors you can imagine. Find one that fits what you are making afix it inside or drop a smart bulb in the socket and make a.hanger of some kind for the fizture. Check the hardware store for things to use as hangers, or the industrial salvage place
So many things.
The dollar store and thrifting can be great places to get supplies and inspiration. Large fabric and Craft stores or bezosville will have stuff too. Industrial salvage. Pawn shops. The local buy and sell for cool objects.
Edit: dimmer switch guy also has a good point.
Damn. We are so similar. At 50 and having my kids diagnosed I am finally realizing why.
Shut up mom.
I immediately went to “Ya fuckin’ blenny” when I read this post. In a strong British accent.
Shoulda been playing some Skrillex apparently.
We do both honestly. Stream for TV and crappy movies, I don’t need to see every nose hair and skin pore. Movie night is torrent. 17 years with no traditional tv or paid services in our house.
If my pets are any indicator of attempting this with animals they’ll gobble up the meal and leave the medication on the ground.
