Early Riser by The Dang-It Bobbys on Apple Music Album · 2025 · 12 Songs

“Sound check” on Apple Music should really just be called “I hate dynamics in my music”.

Also:
You can pre-add my band’s latest on Apple Music. Sounds a lot better without sound check!It’s also available on LP & CD for you audiophiles.

Has anyone done any research to see if there is an equation that accurately models staleness of bread vs time soaking in egg mixture for French toast? 🧪

Wow. These are Priceless. Why Can’t the Biggest loser use Capitalization Properly? Sad! Stollen is a pretty delicious holiday bread though

What will it take to get pitchbot on Bluesky? It’s the only thing I’m even tempted to check out on Twitter. Has anyone sent invites?

Hibiscus is starting to bloom! Anyone have tips on making tea or anything else that the flowers can be used for?

If they don’t taste good, you can leave them in until the weather gets cooler (if it freezes in your area) & they’ll build up more sugars. Pick before a deep freeze. I used to grow carrots that were pretty measly & added perlite/ vermiculite & a little sand to the soil. I do them in a raised bed.

If anyone is in need of a banjo/fiddle/guitar/upright bass fix tonight and you’re in Brooklyn (Williamsburg specifically), I’m playing two sets with my band at Pete’s Candy Store from 10:30pm until we decide we’re done. 100% original music and some brand new stuff tonight. 🎧

Does anyone know why the holes in storm drain grates are just barely wide enough that a bike tire will fit in them and also run in the same direction that a bike tire would pass over them? Seems like the designer of these things really had a thing against cyclists

Adoptive parent here. I personally don’t get why there isn’t a different certificate altogether for adoptive parents or the “amending” doesn’t just amend the certificate to show that the adoptive parents are the legal guardians along with the names of the birth parent(s).

Some fruit that I’m growing but am certain I will not get to eat…anyone have squirrel or chipmunk tips? They don’t eat the apples, they just make sure I don’t either.

Honeydew (secretion) - Wikipedia

You and ants I guess. Ants farm aphids and kill other insects to protect the aphids. The ants drink “honeydew” from the aphids. See link for more details… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeydew_(secretion)
