I am not the bravest person when it comes so socializing, so I am not very forum-savvy. However, I am a nerd who loves to learn and I am going to do my best to share what I learn just in case it helps you all. ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
Sorry it took me so long to respond! I haven’t been feeling well. If you feel like sharing any pictures (no pressure though) that would be great!
Thanks for your input! That is super good to know. I won’t try their suggestion haha
My town in Alberta, Canada. It actually used to be banned in a lot of Canada, like all of British Columbia, and Ontario. Old-fashioned people think it makes a neighborhoods look “trashy” and start going on about property value.
It’s sort of like how a huge amount of apartment buildings don’t allow anything on balconies because it’s “unsightly.”
Haha sadly, hanging your laundry outdoors is illegal here(also, it would freeze in winter), and indoors it takes forever to dry ╥﹏╥
I like the idea of a wicker basket coffin with natural-fiber clothes…and an added sword just to confuse future archaeologists •ˋᴗˊ•
I could be wrong, but I don’t think you can grow all plants in hydroponics. For example, anything that grows on trees(large root systems) as well as grain crops (where you need a lot of plants together, rather in individual pods like in most hydroponics).
The only alternative I can think of is a greenhouse system. Like what indoor botanical gardens use for trees, but instead designed for farming. That would be expensive(more than farmers could afford), but it would also weather-protect crops.
But you are right about hydroponics or aquaponics for a lot of produce, though!
Interesting read! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing! I will check if my library has it!
As far as I know (I have never 3D printed), yes. I vaguely remember a guy who tows around a 3D printer on his bike into parks, and prints parts for people. It wouldn’t be instant(I’m guessing they tell the person to come back later), but it is possible. I’ll try to find the video haha.
Keeping in mind I’ve never 3D printed, here are some sites that look promising.
https://www.traceparts.com/en https://grabcad.com/library
Also, I’ve seen tutorials for 3D printing on Instructables, and people sometimes give download files in the instructions.
This one doesn’t list all of them, but it has some: https://www.repaircafe.org/en/visit/
This site might help with planning!
It looks like there are some! https://www.repaircafe.org/en/visit/
They go off of who volunteers. For example, if a person who specializes in fixing stand mixers volunteers, that will be one of the tables people can visit. That repair person brings the parts (for example, there are a few parts in stand mixers that tend to break, so the repair person would know to bring fixes for those). I have also heard of repair cafe’s elsewhere even bringing in 3D printers to help with part replacement.
Here is the text from a recent one in my town:

I edited it to add the video! Sorry about that! I posted it on my phone, and thought it worked, but it didn’t.
Ah! You’re right, sorry! I posted it on mobile and thought it worked, but I was wrong. Thanks again!
Thank you! That looks like a great system
You could use Mosquito Dunks (BTI) which uses a bacteria to kill mosquito larvae, but are safe for fish, pets, and adult insects.
Typically, with hydroponics or aquaponics, you won’t have a problem. For example, fungus gnats(a common attacker of house plants) are born in soil and feed on decaying plant matter. So, if you remove the soil, you can’t have fungus gnats.
Haha could I have more info on NFTs? When I try searching it up, I only get the non-fudgable token kind of NFTS 😆
Just guessing, though, think of this as a low-income starter kit. Assuming you can scavenge the bottles and substrate, this whole set up might cost around $40CAD (though keep in mind that’s a rough estimate from someone with dyscalculia hahaha)
What? Using emoji makes something ai?
I always use emoji if I think it will make reading easier for people who like to jump to specific sections. It’s not hard, either. If you hit the windows key + the period key, it brings up an emoji chart. You can either go through them, or type what one you want.
