I bought a random one at the thrift store a few months ago, it's some no name brand. My only requirement was finding one that didn't have any scratches on the Teflon nonstick coating on the pan.

It has been amazing, it takes literally 5mins to measure and throw the ingredients in there and push start. Took a little while to fine tune the recipe. It's nothing like baking bread but I completely stopped buying bread after getting the machine. Now I can still bake when ever i want, but its an easy way to make sure I always have bread around.

I read on r/BreadMachines that the brand really doesn't matter, just buy one for 20usd or less and get started. So far it seems to be true for me.

I've only ever lived in Oregon and Washington, in both those states its legal if you are just doing it off existing rooftops and using it on your property. I think, in both those states you could run into issues (or at least need a permit and water rights) if you build a system specifically for catching water.

I think Colorado is the only state with the 110gal rule.

Maybe some specific state, county or city, but definitely not a general rule in the US.

Yeah they really last a long time in the fridge. I second this. Man I wish I had a too much avocado problem. 😛

Thanks for the review. Might give it a try.

awesome thanks for the recommendation. yeah currently audiobooks are all I seem to have time for.

So I initially voted to keep down votes disabled, but now I'm thinking about switching my vote.

My initial though was essentially everything you just said. But now I've noticed a few comments that are just sort of negative in spirit, negative sarcasm, or basically just not a very kind. But they are reply's to a parent comment that is useful. I feel bad for the parent comment, because someones reply is just mean spirited. Will those kind of comments actually sink? maybe downvotes are useful to show that you appropriate the top comment but not the sarcastic reply?

I dunno just thoughts.

maybe pot worms? https://soil.evs.buffalo.edu/index.php/Enchytraeidae

Awesome thanks for the recommendation. It's on my list now.

I'll have to look into their other stuff. Anything you would recommend first?

Are you trying to be permitted by the county/local gov?

It's definitely possible to do graywater separate and compost human waste. I've done composting in the past and it can work great. But getting the county (I'm from the US) to sign off on it is really depends on your local government.

One great resource in general is the The Humanure Handbook By Joseph Jenkins

I listened to all three. It was hard to stop and take breaks. I think they just got progressively better. Such a good series!

yeah i can understand that. I think every group of people can feel uncomfortable around another group of people. my general stance is to let everyone create the community that they feel comfortable with. although I think that stance can be used in the wrong way, and is used to perpetrate patriarchy and toxic culture. its complicated.

Interesting. Never heard of it. Seems overly complicated to make it gender based. But I like the idea.

I like the idea of a Random Folks shed lol

That's so cool! Such an amazing resource. I wish more library's did that.

Yeah as with everything the idea more nuanced then it's slogan, "NoLawns!". I appreciate the NoLawns sentiment and simplicity of the slogan (for lack of a better word). I can see that maybe "Less Lawns, More Native Plants" isn't quite as catchy. :P

Looks interesting. I just gave it a spin. I've been mostly using Cheogram on Android.

Yeah it's definitely a process. I've been trying to expand all the places I have natives and plant more. Also I keep expanding our garden. But I've 1.5acres that was "lawn" when I started, so still lots of mowing for now.

I use my OG pixel phone plus syncthing for unlimited photo and video backup on Google photos. Think I'm going to move away from this soon though, trying to slowly get away from Google.
