Are they looking meaningfully at you while they're doing it?

I like the idea, but there doesn't seem a way for a pod to temporarily move into the other track, which raises questions. Like, how do they handle rebalancing the pods? Ideally, you want a free one at each station for the next person who comes along, but if you come into a station with pods already there, do you have to get out and move to the first pod? Or when you leave your station, do all the pods on the line automatically move one station up the line, making a new pod available for the next person and leaving you a smooth trip to your destination (but limiting energy savings)? Do the pods have to cycle all the way to the end of the line to turn around (again, energy inefficient if most of the traffic is between a lesser number of stations)?

I like the idea, I really do! I'm just curious how they handle balancing availability and traffic.

One of my neighbors moved out and I've mostly been murdering the tiger lilies he planted in the common areas. (He said he liked them and the deer would keep them in check. The deer only ate them in the spring, and he 'liked' them because then his pitbulls could chase the deer. Fucker . Then one of the other neighbors' dogs chewed on the lilies and got sick, so ....)

Anyway, I've replacing them with a mix of like 20 local pollinator plants, chosen for a mix of both pollinators and seasons. Trying to figure out how I can get some rain barrels in to feed the new gardens without pissing off the HOA, and carrying on the eternal battle to let the HOA let us install solar (beyond the two panels we hid in the backyard, but we can't get any more in there).

Common area veggie garden has finally settled in, and the apple trees should be bearing fruit in another year. [The berry bushes we snuck in the woods are doing nicely, and the local animals love them!]

It's good that we're decreasing our impact. That said, the climate is a really massive thing that we've been pushing against for over 200 years, and climate change now has an incredibly massive amount of momentum behind it.

I'll often buy a packet of seeds that I want to plant, but I have a small garden and I usually only want 5-10 seeds from the packet. I take the rest to my local seed library so other people can have some too!

Weaponized Christian terrorists strike again. Most of them didn't get this far without a lot of pushing from right-wing talk radio, cable propaganda channels, YouTube attention algorithms,, corrupt pastors trying to stay relevant, and many other types of poisoning.

I use weather.gov and use their charts and stuff. If this is specifically because of the eclipse, check out eclipsophile.com .
