1 month agoYeah… We had to bring our peppers back inside for hopefully the last time because it dropped down to 40 over the weekend. The tomatoes were in the ground already but a couple cool nights shouldn’t be a big deal in the long run.

6b near 6a chiming in. Our last frost date is around Mother’s Day, but it’s been so cool recently that we only put out toms in the ground this week. Probably a little over 1’ tall since we buried a little stalk.
Shout out to Gardening in Canada for pointing out that tomatoes pause growing when the temp drops below 50 F.

Got my maters started late. The $6 crate store soil blocker my wife picked up last year to try broke after the first use, so we are a little behind.
Thankfully, this year, a lot of what we are trying is direct sow or already fall planted / perennial. Still gotta start cukes, melons, and some other stuff though.
This is just how you sanely organize digits when you have to split them. It’s either down the middle (12345:67890), pairs (or odds&evens depending on how you look at it), or 0:123:456:789:0.
I would be more infuriated if it was 1-7 on one side, and then 890CXYZ on the other.
Welp! I didn’t have “President gives Nazi salute” on my bingo card…

Never heard of it before.

Then why is the acronym in American then. There ain’t no countries in the EU that speak American. /s

Sometimes what causes your feet to get cold is that they were warm in the first place, so they sweated. Now you are walking around in damp cold socks. There are a couple things you can try to mitigate this:
- Wool is warmer when wet than Cotton. Wool socks can come in a variety of cushion/warmth levels, so you can pick what works for you.
- Sock liners are a thin sock to wear under your normal socks. They are usually made of synthetic fabrics that wick the sweat away from your feet to the outer sock so your feet don’t feel wet. They can also help with chafing and are usually used for outdoorsing or sports.
- Wear breathable shoes as long as you aren’t walking somewhere too cold and wet. When your socks can dry out your feet will feel warmer
- Wearing slippers alone can end up both sweaty and drafty. Wearing socks with your slippers can keep your ankles warm and reduce how drafty they feel, but the draftiness of the slipper can also help to keep your socks dry.
- Take off your shoes or slippers periodically to let your socks dry out.
- Feel free to change your socks whenever you want. There is no rule that says you have to wear the same pair all day.
This may also sound counterintuitive, but put on a sweater or vest. When your core is more exposed, your body will reduce circulation to your extremities to keep the heat in your core. If you insulate your core, your body will increase circulation to push the heat to your extremities to keep your core cool.
Lastly, get a good night’s rest. Thermoregulation is one of the things that will suffer for lack of sleep.

IIrc: it only does this for the Top Stories feed which is a handful of stories handpicked by Apple. It would be weird if your Top Stories was super short or completely blank because you happened to block all the right sources. Your regular feed should be filtered.

Eh. I could care fewer.
This distinction was first tentatively suggested by the grammarian Robert Baker in 1770, and it was eventually presented as a rule by many grammarians since then. However, modern linguistics has shown that idiomatic past and current usage consists of the word less with both countable nouns and uncountable nouns so that the traditional rule for the use of the word fewer stands, but not the traditional rule for the use of the word less.
