I appreciate the people who run the forum for the Emergency! Game series. It's where I found the info on now to run multiplayer on Emergency! 3

Yeah I might just set my laptop to be my only Windows device. I still don't think there's a way around the Xbox app though.

At least when my brother talks about it he's excited but his ADHD is unmedicated so I still don't know much because we start talking about that but then we somehow end up replacing a window or something and have no idea how we got there... Lmao

I have some niche software for my racecar I can't seem to get to run on Linux and it's the only reason I'm still on Windows. Although now that I've finally got a new desktop, I can dual boot again.

Oh and I run a few games via the Xbox app so that kinda keeps me on there as well.

This exactly. My brother keeps trying to get me into it. It's hard to even take the test let alone how boring it is to study for. I want someone who's passionate about it to explain it to me. I also have hella ADHD so that's a factor for me personally lol.

If you still use reddit, do you feel bad for doing so? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I mod a few larger subs I don't wish to leave (one I've brought here). I also participate in a work related sub. I've been spending more and more time on Lemmy lately though.

But yeah, I don't really like Reddit I'm just there because not all of my stuff has made it here yet.

Just grass. Nothing but grass. Solely grass. in c/[email protected]

Exactly why it didn't work for me...

Local Resources (slrpnk.net)
 

Don't forget to check local for great resources on how to go the No Lawns route! Not everyone may have local resources but I was surprised to find out that my county has a natives program that has a guide on what and how to plant. Check your local city/county/State/provide/Etc to see if there's already some easy resources out there.

A confession (slrpnk.net)
 

Guys, as the person who started no lawns on Reddit (and here) my yard is a disaster lol. I work outside all day and the last thing I want to do when I get home is yard work. That being said, I removed a bunch of invasives from my yard Monday and I'm working on a plan to tackle a corner of my yard the way I've always wanted to in NoLawns style with native plants. I'm always open to suggestions for the Chicago area!

If you're going to plant grass, make it native to your area, wildlife depends on it.

I've seen 2 new awesome resources pop up in the comments this week (I haven't added them to the list yet my personal life is chaos right now). I'd love to know if you guys have come across any other books, websites, videos etc that you find very useful and informative to add to the list.

Here is the current list of resources.

I'd love to get as many resources as possible outside the US.

Would love to see lists from all over the world!

Love the Sims 2! (slrpnk.net)
 

So happy to see a Sims 2 sub!! I'm really hoping to see r/sims2help migrate over here at some point. Chances this community will include the link they have in their wiki to download the game?

Why native plants? (nativegardendesigns.wildones.org)
 

Here's another link to Wild Ones explaining why to choose native plants over non natives.

What natives do you have growing?

2
Live in the US? Wild Ones added a few new garden plans (nativegardendesigns.wildones.org)
 

Obviously these plans aren't inclusive of the entire US but from what I understand they are working on adding even more garden plans to their list.

This can be beneficial if you live in any of these towns and would like to have a list or a plan for natives in your own yard and your don't know where to begin.

Just sharing this link since everyone always loves American meadows so much. The only issue I take with them is they sell seed packs that are "native to your area" and some are not.

One of our Reddit mods has said he's had great luck with Pheasant Forever as a US based option who focuses on natives for habitat restoration.

I've never used them personally but I wanted to drop it as a link since I had never heard of them before.

Why we shouldn't mow native praries (TikTok link) (www.tiktok.com)
 

TLDR; killing off native species as well as their food supply and habitats.
