@jesslynnrose I just add un/semi sweetened baking chocolate to a pot of boiling water, then sweeten with equal parts honey and maple syrup and add a bit of milk.

@orta @domyen Come visit me in Amsterdam sometime! It would be lovely to catch up.

@jesslynnrose “Don’t lift heavy things, you’ll injure your uterus!” - my mom “Don’t negotiate” - also my mom. “You should have a baby, get a mortgage, get married, find a job” to which I replied “in that order?” - that one was my dad.

@bakfietsdc You can use clothing tags from shirts, pillowcases, mattresses, etc. they’re made of tyvek - perfect for a tire boot.

@zachklein Laccaria stems break like chalk. Not fibrous. Use iNaturalist- it’s the best app for this kind of thing IMHO

@Pflax1 Kruis simply means cross. Many brands of kruisframes exist- locomotief, azor, simplex, VanMoof, workcycles, juncker, gazelle, olympiade, to name a few.

[JungleDev @jungledev]

@Pflax1 I live in Ams and am a bike obsessed volunteer mechanic at a high end shop. I hate the gendered titles for frames, but even the Dutch manufacturers we order from name their models by gender. 🙄Consider roetz, veloretti, or my fave- vintage “kruis” frames. https://t.co/lNzTQyNz04

@StasKlymenko How and when to ask a good question. Show the person/team/forum you’re asking that you respect their time by trying to find the answer on your own first. Take note of what you did, develop a methodology, and ask for specific help.

[JungleDev @jungledev]

@mschoening Me me me, pretty please! I want all my info here rather than LinkedIn. Love this!

[JungleDev @jungledev]

@jesslynnrose It depends on your budget, terrain preference, and a little bit on your physical proportions. I suggest get a starter bike that’s not too fancy and tweak it over time rather than invest too much only to discover you have a different riding style.

[JungleDev @jungledev]

@jesslynnrose Yes! I’m crazy for bikes, specifically touring ones. There are affordable ways to get started and set yourself up for success. A great way to start is to do a few “S24O’s” (single 24-hour overnighters). Happy to answer q’s and help you get set up!

@Panopticrat Awesome! Seek + iNat are game-changing tech tools for me. Recently, we went on a mushroom hunt based solely on nearby sightings on the map. Snap a pic, wait a bit, get a research-grade ID. Seek can sometimes auto-ID from your camera in real-time too.

[JungleDev @jungledev]

@Panopticrat Do you track them on iNaturalist? That and seek are my fave apps for nature nerding

[JungleDev @jungledev]

@Panopticrat @philsturgeon I started out with these but ended up doubling up later.

[JungleDev @jungledev]

@Panopticrat @philsturgeon I had the same issue although my beams were massive. (4x8, 4x10, and 4x12). I ended up adding more footings later on. More bracing, strapping, and footings. I wish I did that from the start. A master carpenter friend advised me to add braces that were notched into the beams.

[JungleDev @jungledev]

@Panopticrat @philsturgeon Like this but less fancy.

@ArlanWasHere I’m a mobile app developer and would love to get involved in a project like this again.

[JungleDev @jungledev]

@ArlanWasHere I built a farmer’s market food delivery app at a hackathon in 2015. Farmer’s at a market would receive texts about purchases up to 24 hours before the market, and someone would pick up all the inventory at the market, sort, and deliver.

We've planted 200,000 trees and counting! 🙌🌱🌎

These numbers are starting to add up to real impact. Only 4 months ago we were celebrating 1,000 trees!
