Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

I live in a colder climate (frost-free growing season is June 1 - September 1), so I use store bought and homemade small greenhouses on my outdoor gardens to extend my growing season. Here are my thoughts:

• Moisture: They are decent at keeping things more humid. However if the garden is outside and in direct sun then on warm days you’d need to open up the sides some to let heat out, which would also let the moisture out. Otherwise the plants get cooked as the greenhouses get very hot. I have a pitcher plant indoors that I keep in a tiny greenhouse to keep the humidity up and that works well but it’s not in direct sun
• Shade: I’ve seen commercial ginseng farms that use shade cloth over the plants because ginseng usually grows in the woods and so doesn’t like much direct sunlight. Shade cloth may be a better option for the sunrot. Or a shade cloth over a greenhouse - I haven’t tried that so I don’t know how much the shade cloth would change how hot the greenhouse gets

May you win that battle

Very true. I got more curious and found this discussion trying to trace “debug.”

That is one very disapproving pigeon

Also how debugging got its name, because bugs would get into the vacuum tubes

Edit: I did some digging and found what’s claimed to be the actual “de-bugging”. Turns out it wasn’t as widespread as my memory made it out to be.

Here’s the study

Dammit it’s a one-day job. Guess I’ll stop updating my resume.

Good point on the baking time and temp

Thanks, I’ll have to see what I can figure out. I realize now I let these be too free form because that’s how I usually make hamburger buns.

This makes a lot of sense. I’ll have to try them in a 9x13 next time.

I live by alarms and reminders. I also try and automate as much as possible so I don’t have to rely on me remembering or being focused.

Finch (app) for little dopamine bursts for doing the basics - I have everything like get out of bed, take meds, put on clean clothes. It doesn’t penalize you if you miss anything, it just celebrates when you check things as done. When you do enough things in a day your penguin gets to go on an adventure.

Alexa and Siri - I have routines set up through Alexa, either to remind me of things at a certain time each day or ones I can set by saying a specific phrase. For example, when I say “Alexa I started the laundry” she’ll remind me an hour later to put the laundry in the dryer. Siri I use to make phone reminders whenever something pops into my mind so I don’t have to try and hold onto the thought and then forget what I was doing. My kid will even say to me, “Tell Siri now so you don’t forget.”

I’ve been playing around with the project management app Trello. I don’t have everything set up yet but it has “boosts” I think they’re called - basically different automations you can install and use within Trello. So for example you can link Trello to your calendar and then when certain events get added to your calendar Trello can automatically create a list of things you need to do before the event. And if you also link reminders it can automatically create the reminders to get those things done too. My struggle right now is just having the focus to figure out how to set up all the automations and link everything.
