  - Disco Elysium was outstanding. -- nm - Tim Apr 3, 06:57
  - DE is PC only which would definitely keep it under the radar here. Outer Wilds wasn't from a hugely known studio, so under the radar again. - Shaun Apr 3, 06:52 1

  - Fixed to side. -- nm - Shaun Apr 3, 06:14 2
    - So you stopped trying to make fetch happen? - Cuzzin Todd Apr 3, 06:16 1

- Should be a fun weekend as Trump probably will announce recommending face masks and, well, no one will have any -- nm - oblique Apr 3, 06:08 35
  - That's the thing though: they don't want us taking up the masks that medical professionals need, so we need to improvise. -- nm - ty97 Apr 3, 06:14 16

    - I'm sure the youtube tutorials are already out. -- nm - loosilu Apr 3, 06:15
  - Face coverings. Make your own. Two layers of tshirt materieal works. -- nm - loosilu Apr 3, 06:09 17

    - "Make your own." Riiiiiiiiight... - Cuzzin Todd Apr 3, 06:15 12
      - You can make them if you put in the effort. There are a lot of instructions, both video and written, on how to make them. And with it being a life -- (edited) - Krusty Apr 3, 06:21 9
        
        I like this one -- (link) - oblique Apr 3, 06:26 [youtube] 8
        
        Perfect. That's the same one Colin Hanks posted about but used a hair tie instead of a rubber band. -- nm - Krusty Apr 3, 06:29 7
        
        Of course, I'm sure next will be "when do I wear this?" with plenty of differing opinions - oblique Apr 3, 06:34 6
        
        For now, I'm wearing it when I leave my house. In an office, if there's other people next to me, interacting with me closely, etc. then - Krusty Apr 3, 06:39 4
        
        Welcome to my job. Interact with people, touch their computers, phones, etc. -- nm - oblique Apr 3, 06:40 3

      - Here are some tutorials (including no-sew). -- (link) - loosilu Apr 3, 06:21

- 5G as in the cell phone network data speed? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 3, 05:42 9
  - Yes. Google it and when you’re done stabbing your brain out come back -- nm - JackDawson Apr 3, 05:44 4

- Seriously. Vegetable gardening. Get started on your seedlings. It is time to put those lawns to a practical use. Throw some old potatoes in a corner, -- (edited) - Andie Apr 3, 05:57 26
  - So here is a potato growing trick I saw over a decade ago that I am going to try this year. You use hay or straw so and you don't have any digging at - Bacon Apr 3, 06:37 12
    - I've tried this with mixed results. -- nm - Reagen Apr 3, 06:51 5
      - Would you say yay or nay on giving it a go? -- nm - Bacon Apr 3, 06:52 4
        
        old way of planting in ground better? -- nm - Bacon Apr 3, 06:53 3
        
        If you have the space, the old way is better. If space is limited, do what you can with what you've got. -- nm - Reagen Apr 3, 06:57 2
        
        Thx for the tips -- nm - Bacon Apr 3, 07:01 1
        
        There are also certain varieties (which I don't know of the top of my head) that work and some that don't. -- nm - Reagen Apr 3, 07:07
    - Can you get straw or hay? 😃 -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 06:39 5
      - I saw it done with both. Also the first time I saw it they had the hay/straw broken into 4-6 inch squares not all broken down like that pic in the - Bacon Apr 3, 06:43 4
        
        No. Either will work. My question is do you have a place where you can acquire either at the moment? :) -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 06:44 3
        
        Oh we do yes. We live on the edge of some farming communities. I am within 3-7 miles of several feed/livestock stores. -- nm - Bacon Apr 3, 06:48 2

        You need lots of sun for most things, but you can do greens with mostly shade. -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 06:46 3
        
        I have some big windows that get sun in the morning and smaller ones that get sun in the afternoon. -- nm - Krusty Apr 3, 06:50 1
