Urban farm update: my cost per egg is still #DIV/0!

Saw this pupper in my neighborhood and it needed a rating. 12/10 good pup! @dog_rates

babe are you ok? you’ve barely touched the dashboard you claimed was mission critical

This week in adventures in adulting, I opened up and cleaned all my in-wall electric heaters. Even though they’re only emergency backup for my heat pump systems. This is also a great time to check sump systems. #AlmostAutumn

@adamhjk @gitbisect @Grigorc I’ve got several boxes more of framed shirts. I rotate them out from time to time.

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

Okay, here it is! Almost a decade of @chef tshirts beautifully displayed in my home. Will be expanding onto another wall soon!

@momo_ops Other seating options (geez)

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

In the market for a super comfy reading chair. A lounge all day in 12 different positions with a book series chair. Anyone got a favorite? Pointers on where to shop first? Still trying to avoid stores generally so don’t want to go sit in 300 chairs 🤣

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

@momo_ops For a reading chair it’s 100% about the comfy, aesthetics be damned. My dining chairs/table and accessories are probably 80% aesthetics 🤣

The space it’s in will have a couch and some other eating options where I’ll probably go more contemporary/tidy and more picky abt color

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

Most of the furniture wasn’t mine, so now I’m thinking about how I think I might want to use the spaces. Pandemic makes it hard to even think about hosting a big house party, but I used to love that. Do I decorate for today, or where I hope my life will be next year?

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

So I’m living alone for basically the first time in my life (not counting my dog & chickens.) Still working out cooking & shopping for one. I’ve never had to deal w bread and chips going stale 🤣

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

This has been a shared household for a decade. It’s super wild pouring thru the corners, reevaluating where everything goes and how it’s decorated. Do I really even want this spatula?

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

Over the last couple of years I’ve become a houseplant nerd. With this came a fungus gnat infestation. The path out that mess was “beneficial nematodes”, which is hilarious to say in a death metal growl voice.

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

Something has gone horribly wrong and my timeline is almost entirely ads and “someone you follow liked this.” This is not what I want. I can select “see LESS likes” from a specific person, but not “no likes” or do it at a global level. Ugh.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away.

It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized.

People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

@martinisoft I do it every couple of months. I also use a drill snake, just usually by disconnecting the hose and taking it outside first. I’ll get a ladder and look at my outside vent and see if that’s plausible.

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

How do you clean a dryer vent if you have your washer/dryer stacked? I'm looking at redoing my laundry zone, and stacked has appealed to me, but it's not exactly easy sliding around an unstacked dryer to clean the vent hose. Y'all clean your vent hoses, right?

May in Seattle means playing chicken with the weather and planting out tender veggies and flowers.

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

@jennik84 Pretty sure if they have a patch where grass grows, that’s the lawn, vs garden being all of it (based mostly on watching @TheMontyDon)

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

Hello Imposter Syndrome, my old friend.

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

@elejia These might be hyper local, either that or Urban Dictionary is too middle age to keep up with the youths.

[Nathan Haneysmith @tmonk42]

I spent an hour today trying find a device designed to stop a chain link gate from opening further than 90 degrees. I’m pretty sure now the answer I’m looking for is “a rock.”
