Shoutout to bamboo fencing for being tough on the lot line but gentle on the planet

Go with bamboo fencing if you need a solid barrier that won't harm the earth. It shoots up fast, so you're not waiting years for it to grow like with trees. I put some in last summer, and it's already filled out nicely without much work. Just make sure to contain the roots with a barrier, or it might spread where you don't want it. Overall, it's a smart pick for anyone looking to be kind to the planet without sacrificing privacy.

My daughter decorated my work van with glitter clear coat

Glitter paint on a work van is kind of like how people add stickers to their laptops or fun decals to their tools. I get @the_brooke's worry about it just getting dirty, but that bit of sparkle might make driving around for jobs less boring. My neighbor has a plain van with one shiny stripe, and he says customers remember it better. Maybe the hassle pays off in small ways, idk.

Just heard on a podcast how they found clues of early beer brewing in China.

Figure they had their priorities straight back then. Forget farming, let's get this fermentation going. Sounds about right for human history.

The thrift store down my street just banned camera donations, and it's wrong.

Hey @the_troy, what's the real reason places won't take old tech donations? It feels like they don't get how much repair shops rely on those parts, lol. That mindset just makes it easier to trash stuff instead of fixing it.
