  Would you mind posting close-ups / in-depth on your compost bin and rain barrels? I'm really curious to see what they look like and how you support them - looks like you have them on some sort of crate or other support system. I'm trying to work out where and how to set up composting and rain water collection in my limited space - I have a small yard (~400 sqft) w/ a small deck (~400 sqft). Seeing how you've done it might inspire me. I'm super jealous, thank you for sharing!

I don’t care about snapshots, I’m mostly concerned about being able to record a video or grab screenshots of the boot screen and BIOS setti...

Instead of only controlling one or the other at a time, is there a tool that would enable me to “switch” between my personal and work laptops without having to hit a physical switch? Ideally I’d like to be able to just move my mouse pointer from one screen to the other, click to bring a window into focus on either machine, and start typing in that win...

  It’s been about three-and-a-half weeks now since I filled up a couple 5-gallon containers in anticipation of power outages during a winter storm. Since I’m a dumb dumb, I did not add stabilizer at the time, but I do have some Seafoam stabilizer on hand. I understand fuel degrades over time and running degraded fuel can damage engine parts. Should I pour the fuel into my vehicle or will that gum up my car’s engine? Is it still worth adding stabilizer today so that I can continue to store it in...
