  I have learned thru my years of gardening that wasps and hornets are a good thing to have around, not just bees. Not only do they help pollinate flowers, they are predators to some of the most annoying garden pests. I think I’ve counted at least 7 different wasp species in my garden this summer, they’ve done a great job keeping the larger pest populations manageable.

  I quit my job as a sysadmin about 2 years ago and started turning my backyard into a massive garden. I’m currently trying to figure out places to sell large quantities of hot peppers and I’m about to start selling matted and framed photos of flowers and wildlife from my garden.

  Fuck IT.

  Man, I quit my IT job 2 years ago and I haven’t looked back. So glad I got out when I did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Downfall of Amazon: Dangerous Products, Fake Reviews & Vanishing Brands - Louis Rossman⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazon seems to be following in the footsteps of TigerDirect and NewEgg. Both were amazing sites in the beginning, great deals, great customer service, and then they satarted allowing fake knockoff brands, direct to consumer products from china, scammers, resellers, etc… and it slowly brought down the overall quality of the site and overwhelmed their support staff. The difference with Amazon is they aren’t limited to just tech, the fact that they now carry pretty much everything under the sun basically protects them from this same fate any time soon, sadly.

  My guess is whoever lived there before had a much larger TV mounted on the wall and then an entertainment center under it for peripherals (hence plugs on the ends down below). Current owner slapped the cheapest/smallest TV they could still mount on the wall thinking it would cover the old cable management setup

  “Asshole governor who rigged his own election by disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of black voters across the state of GA, has once again taken advantage of his political position for personal gain.”

  That one was less surprising than the choice he made in the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone here watched Warrior S3 finale?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, just finished up S3 last night. IMO it was a rather odd choice Ah Sahm made, given everything that had happened up until that point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Major 4-day workweek study suggests that when we work 5 days we spend one doing basically nothing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Whats sad is that most of those jobs are just insanely understaffed (and underpaid), which is precisely why they’re so demanding.
