I'm so much more worried about my future kids' access to toxic alpha male shit and fascist propaganda than I am about porn.

I mostly agree with you, but economics is at best a heaping tablespoon of math and a sack of human behavioral psychology. Those guys really only know what's going on 6 months after it happened.

Wrong. Talk to him every day. Hang out on some weekends, and become friends. Plant subtle notions of egalitarianism through your friendship and generosity. Ask him thought questions about his beliefs, but not in an accusatory manner. Teach him to actually think for himself, to keep an open mind, to seek evidence rather than faith to form convictions. Slowly show him by example what it means to be a good person who cares for their fellow human beings.

Then you plant some drugs on him while at work, and call HR with your suspicions.

This is the New McCarthyism, there's a different enemy now didn't you hear?

It is a slab-on-grade garage, and yes I plan on adding a rainwater catchment ASAP. The downspout has been exactly in this position for 12 years when the previous owners built the garage, and has caused no issues -- at least none that came up in inspection. There's very good drainage down to the road behind, I think.

I'm actually in Colorado as well, so also limited to (I believe) two barrels totaling not more than 110 gallons.

Good advice. Will a barrel help to settle out the micro plastics and bad stuff?

I plan on doing this with the small front yard. Probably not fence it in, but cast some native grass and flower seeds then call it a day. Hope the neighbors don't mind!

And into the produce, yes. Might also be harming the good soil bacteria and fungi that keep plant roots healthy.

I have since been told that may add hydrocarbons and micro plastics from the roof into my veggies, so I'm looking into another solution 😅

I'm always barefoot in my yard unless I'm working in it

 

Having never owned a house or really had a yard of my own, I got pretty excited and decided to do some ad-hoc landscaping. Built some raised beds for vegetables, and just laying in some organic shaped in-ground beds for low water decorative plants. Gonna fill the rest in with gravel. Any pointers?
