Why can't anyone just build a phone that can survive being used as a phone?

But the amazon page doesn't even mention AI once. How can you have growth without AI?

Reading through what this does, I'm trying to figure out how / why anyone would buy this.

I'm building a solar dehydrator for the farm, and need a temperature controlled vent to keep it from cooking things instead of drying them. I looked at half a dozen electro-mechanical things, settled on nitinol wire. Tested it today, works as advertised.
If you do things that require movement based on temperature, look into nitinol wire. Also, it's fun to play with.

Not sure, I just looked online and a plastic flare 12# gun with four shells was $80. It's been about 10 years since I bought one, but I seem to remember the price being <$20, with eight shells.

Funny thing. If you fire all the people who make your network go, eventually the network quits going.

Thank you. I've seen numbers up to 3 linear feet of tube per 10 cubic feet of greenhouse. Makes me feel a lot better about my 'should be good enough' design. Especially in 8b.

I'm about to build a standalone into a cheap polytunnel.
How long & big are your ground tubes compared to the heated space. I've seen lots of wild variation on those numbers.

We're doing sinahuisa for the first time this year. Beautiful flavor, mid heat (think serrano), but the persistence is high. Not painful, but you know you did a thing for at least an hour.

The hungarian waxes are definitely a sneaky pepper. Doesn't seem like much at first.

I understand everything except the Diet thing.
Spent a couple of years in Pottstown, one of the few things I miss is birch beer.

If you aren't already seed saving, now is a good time to start.
Baker Creek Seeds main farm just flooded.
Don't have details or impact yet, but the pictures aren't reassuring, looks like they're going to lose quite a bit

So that's why last election they went from a decent source of information to "WTF is this"?
I just saw they'd broken down and moved along.
Thank you explaining why.

I worry about perpetuating disease and pests, especially in areas where I'm not going to be doing a hard crop rotation.

Are any of the major distros going that way? If so, there's another chapter I've gotta write.

For the first experiment, I'm going simple, small, cheap. The design is still tentative.
We're moving a 3x6m polytunnel in the spring, building a brick foundation for it, etc. The tunnel will orient East-West on the long axis.
East is downhill ~50cm from West; pray for my dirt-moving back. There is a layer of gravel at 25-100cm. It carries water (like a flowing river) when we get heavy rains (200mm in two weeks last year). Soil above the gravel is sandy loam, with some light clay and rock chunks.
I'll be using 50~75m of 75mm corrugated, single line perforated tube (french drain stuff), buried with the holes down on a thin layer of sand. Once done, the surface will be covered by ~100mm of woodchip mulch. I am not going to insulate the sides as some people have suggested.
I plan on burying as close to the gravel layer as possible, two layers @ 25 & 50 cm where I can. Each section will be 10-15m, ending just above ground level.
The fan will be a bilge fan rated at 220 m3/hour, about 2.5 changes per hour. If needed I'll add a second and/or a speed controller. The fan will be inside a plywood manifold box running up the side of the polytunnel. Dampers will be controlled by a greenhouse vent lifter: >25C upper damper open, lower closed, <25 the reverse.
There will also be a manually controlled "dump to outside" damper for summer.
Fan on/off signal will be controlled by:
- a programmable timer in-line with a cheap house thermostat
- a switch on the upper damper (open==on)
I'll use automotive relays to turn signal into current.
I'm going to run this one off 12v from a charger until I have a good idea what total daily draw is. Then I may migrate it to solar.

We've got a similar problem in Arkansas. Mild winters, but there's always a cold snap (15C today, -10 in two days time). The swings in the greenhouse can be brutal.
I'm going to be installing a minimalistic climate battery system in one of the greenhouses this spring. If it works, it'll become a standard as we go forward.
