Thanks for your response! If you light events with broadcast cameras, I am the annoying video engineer behind the camera controls asking about flicker and color balance. I hope they keep making y'all's specialty bulbs. Looks like there's a big list of exceptions!

I wonder if this will have any effect on the film industry...

Just curious why gravel over mulch?

I have both and I wish it was all mulch.

Sheet mulching is great for the first few years but the cardboard will break down and you'll have weeds again. With mulch you can just lay down more cardboard and go again. It's not that easy with gravel.

To add on to your notes about maintenance: I have large gravel, mulch, and grass in my backyard. The gravel requires much more weeding time than the mulch. The mesh does nothing.

Several cities, including Paris and Grenoble in France, São Paulo in Brazil, and Chennai in India have taken concrete steps in this direction. In São Paulo, ads are banned from certain parts of the city, and in Paris, they are prohibited near schools.

Several more cities are following suit, with a growing ad-free movement aiming to make cities a better place to live. ‘Adfree Cities,’ a UK-based nonprofit, is one such example. Cities such as Bristol, Birmingham, and Cardiff are part of its network, attempting to drastically reduce the amount of urban advertising

This is an excellent trend, and one that only lobbyists would fight against.

Since the online advert bubble seems to be bursting, I'm going to take that as a glimmer of hope. And until then, VPN maximus, ads be gone!

Unfortunately it seems like refrigerators are the appliance that is just known to die the fastest now. I searched high and low for a good warranty but even the higher end fridges don't get them these days. And the Samsung 10 year warranty is a bandaid for the lawsuits they're facing.

You've clearly done your research cause the first thing to die in a fridge is always the ice maker 👍

Renovations.

I feel lucky to have already been a homeowner before COVID. I have no interest in buying/selling again, despite our house being considered a "starter home". So after we suffered major water damage over winter we just made our kitchen hella nice.

Also, look up Speed Queen.
