No. I can’t see how I spend my money on there unfortunately. It’s also big on advertising like “you should get another credit card. Here’s some preapproved offers!”
But Tbf, I barely notice the lack because Mint could never get my transactions right anyway and was constantly disconnecting accounts.
I switched before this because I wanted to keep an eye on my credit score. Credit Karma gives me both scores and with more detail than I was getting from Mint.
Can I recommend The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck? It’s historical fiction.
It’s a glimpse into life back then; focusing mostly on the affects of the dust bowl and how hard it was to find proper work. While not nonfiction, it may give you some ideas of specific things you can research more, like crop rotation and Hoovervilles/shantytowns.
Side note: I always think of the Great Depression when an appliance breaks. My history teacher said one of the causes was that things were built to last back then. When they say, “they don’t make them like they used to” it’s 100% correct. Now we make things with a shorter lifespan on purpose because, when things last forever, we don’t buy new ones.
Thank you for the update. I appreciate your efforts in moderating and keeping us informed.

Restaurant: “happy happy birthday from all of us to you. We wish it was our birthday so we could party too! Hey!”
Family/copyright: “happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, -name-. Happy birthday to you.”

Most houses that you build yourself usually flow with the land.
Houses corporations build are for profit and usually come with more destruction for the environment.
I was at the giant copper mine outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. In the tour, they said, to appease conservationists, they basically relocate the mountain as they dig and add vegetation. So, the mountainous area that surrounds the mine is all man-made. Nature didn’t erode the rocks or push them up even though mountains are considered purely natural. It doesn’t really follow a beaver creating a new river because it built a dam either because it didn’t divert anything; it simply pushed it out of the way.
Man made = interfering with nature for profit. Natural = interference in nature for comfort.
Side note: I can’t help but picture a cartoon style in my head of a fat business tycoon with a shovel, yelling at the Lorax, “We’re putting it back!”
Muriel would never let Eustace leave the yard so dirty!

An art project called r/place is active again. Basically, it’s a giant white canvas and users can change the color of one pixel every X amount of minutes.
Since we left Reddit, the community is torn between returning to post something in protest or staying away and refusing them traffic to protest. A suggestion there is to simply watch the twitch/YouTube streams of people who are there.
Some suggestions: “join-lemmy.org”, “API”, “Fuck u/spez”. There’s currently a French flag with a guillotine about to chop the head off a Snoo with u/spez as it’s blindfold. There is also clap back. Bots or the moderators are actively blocking pieces of protest with checkerboard patterns.
I hope this answers your question.
Nice! Thanks!
Awwww! What a cute shorthair putitback!!!! They’re adorable but have a lot of energy. They’re best if you let them go in and out as they please. They will eat so many bugs. Beware of its hisses. They are a temperamental breed.
I feel like this should be widely available at/for gas pumps. They are where I feel the least secure.
Thank you for the identifying info! Now I can google for what the parents look like. I’ll keep a look out.
I was very worried about it being injured since it hadn’t moved. This is no longer a concern. It hated the box and ran away really well! So I put the box where it could reach it and fled the scene.
Hi! There’s a baby bird in my yard. It’s about the size of my fist. It has a few short white feathers. I think they’re pin feathers. The nest is too high for me to reach; so I left it alone on the ground.
More importantly and the reason I’m reaching out, the little thing hasn’t moved. It doesn’t move when I approach and it hasn’t moved from its spot all day. I don’t see any blood, but I also haven’t touched it because I didn’t want to distress it further. I haven’t caught the parents caring for it, but I did see adult birds in the tree.
Is there something I should be doing here? I’m leaving it alone and keeping my cats away from the window. The area it is in is shady, but it’s so hot outside. A cup of water? Should I make it a comfy box? I’ve got an ant problem in my yard. Will they hurt it?
Update: I made it a “nest” on the recommendation of google and the wildlife volunteer that called me back. It hated it and ran away in small circles. After shooing it back to its original hiding spot, I left the “nest” where it could reach it if it changed its mind and fled the scene. At least it isn’t hurt.
Update 2: it was very chirpy this morning and I heard its parents so I chose to leave it alone. The chirping stopped this afternoon and, after a while, I went to check on it. It was dropped over and unresponsive. It was in the shade of the fence but I think the 105+ degree heat got to it. Thank you all for your input. I’m sorry I couldn’t do more… :(
