inKilled my first 3 houseplants with tap water before a guy at the Norfolk botanical swap set me straight
That Norfolk swap guy basically handed you the plant version of a cheat code. One thing nobody mentions is that hard water salts don't just burn the leaf tips, they build up in the soil over time and slowly mess with the pH, which locks out nutrients even after you switch to rain water. So it might be worth flushing your pots a few times with the rain water, like running way more through than normal and letting it drain out the bottom, just to push all that old salt out of the root zone. My ferns perked up way faster once I did that, since the soil itself was still salty for weeks after I changed what was going in the top.

inMy bus route got cut from 3 buses an hour to 1, and now I leave home at 5:40am
Same thing on the B41 near me, went from every 15 to every 40 minutes and nobody said a word about it. The MTA calls it "service adjustments" but it's really just cuts they hope nobody notices. One bus an hour isn't a bus route, that's a joke, you can't plan a life around that. The guy walking 25 minutes to the L has the right idea because at least he knows he'll get there. They keep saying ridership is down but maybe ridership is down because nobody wants to stand around for an hour waiting. How are people supposed to get to work on time when the schedule only works if you have no schedule of your own?

inI finally timed my injector job and it was embarrassing
My 3 hour estimate turned into a full weekend because I dropped a bolt into the intake and had to fish it out with a magnet for an hour. At least now you know every hiding spot on that 6.7, right?
