Vertical Hydroponics design and build

I am changing my hydroponic setup. I take you through what I did and show you the build. Plus I get a little geeky in the design - I show a little math and how I worked out placement of the net cups that hold the plants

Thousand vs Million vs Billion

Its easy to get confused about very large numbers. So I give a simple example of the difference between one thousand 1,000 (1 with 3 zeros) one million 1,000,000 (1 with 6 zeros) one billion 1,000,000,000 (1 with 9 zeros)

My Tesla had a tire with low pressure and wouldn’t hold air. Where do I go?

It seemed to be a nail in the tire … but where should I take the car? After all, it needed the jack stand to be properly placed, so I can’t just take it anywhere. Tesla service center or mobile service may not be a good option; I’ve heard varying reviews on how they handle punctures in the tires. A little googling later and I decided to go and check out discount tires. And they were great!

Why the grassy strips at the dolphins stadium?

There are grassy strips around Joe Robbie Stadium / Hard Rock Stadium. Why are they there? Because construction uncovered artifacts from the Tequesta Indian tribe, and agreed to honor the heritage by leaving some amount of the parking area as grass.

Maya Angelou on people telling you who they really are

Its probably her most famous quote, but its deeper than that. Oprah Winfrey interviewed her and got some insights that I share here. By the way, Maya spoke at Clinton's inauguration, and was the narrator for the Hall of Presidents at Disney World during his administration.

This is a story about my grandmother. She was quite the character.

I talk about her life story, her history, and discuss how she was a con artist and a bit of an enigma. The stories I tell are true, as far as I know. I do talk about her real names, and mention her husbands and their families. No insults are intended toward them. I didn’t really know any of their families and the husbands were all nice people and appear to have been mostly unaware of who she really was. This was adapted from a podcast I did some time ago.

Bagels: New York, Montreal, and Bialy. What the difference?

While bagels are all made of yeast, flour and water, there are three specific bagel types that one can enjoy: the New York style bagel (dough is made then boiled and baked) The bialy (dough is made and shaped and then baked - but not boiled) And the Montreal bagel (dough is rolled out then boiled in honey water, and then baked) Videos used in this short include: NY Bagel https://youtu.be/mqJLExaX0yc?si=DbAVMUhQlKaCXzRQ bialy https://youtu.be/FkvuI0Xx0CY?si=tdd-TCEkQvBkqYGM Montreal bagel https://youtu.be/W8j-ZUp7KD0?si=BmqhuxbWdT_NAlEz The content creators take the time to take you through the full recipe and share some tips with you. Im using them to provide a visual on how they’re made.
