Yes, the poles hold up a piece of shade fabric that I throw over it if it gets too hot, or a rain storm is coming through (they still get wet, but not as much).
I always put mine on DND and filter it for phone calls only from specific people (because if those people call me in the middle of night, it is for sure an emergency). Everything else is on silent.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Having it on DND still makes you receive the notifications". You can filter all that shit out, check your settings. If you mean that you want to be able to look at your phone but not see notifications, I'd say you just need to learn to put the phone down, period. Don't even be looking at that thing 30 minutes before bed. Put it down and get ready for bed, then sleep.
I've got the high-nitrogen plant food ready and waiting! It would be awesome to be drowning in them, I eat bell peppers every day pretty much, and I'm dying to make some Hatch green chili, so I hope they all get crazy in the end.
That's very impressive! It's cool they're flowering indoors!
I feel like this is taking forever. Not sure if I'll get any peppers in the end, but we'll see!
Call yourself whatever you're comfortable with. I'm a woman and I call myself bi, but I've been with a man for 5 years, yet I still sometimes see/interact with women and I find them so attractive that I blush and get nervous around them. Yes, I am with a man, and I find men attractive, but I find women equally attractive. Just because I am with a man now, doesn't make those feelings for women go away, ever. Should I NOT call myself bi because I'm with a man? No, the attraction to women is always there, regardless.
I might be late to the party here, but I just wanted to chime in that my former husband and I went through this. He (now she) came out as MtF. I am not straight (bi), but I married them in part because I was attracted to their masculinity, which was now going away. I no longer found myself physically attracted to them. We went to marriage counseling, but ultimately decided to divorce. It was very hard, but it was ultimately for the best, for both of us. We remain friends and talk almost every day and it's been 7 years since the divorce.
If you truly love someone, you set them free.
As a woman, I've always been kinda jealous of a man's ability to just piss wherever, whenever. I mean, they do make these, but I've never used one because it kinda seems like you piss in there and it it'll just end up all over your entire yoni, which just sounds like a mess.
My parents let me watch this when it came out. I was 8. RIP cartoon shoe.
I use it on my phone for text messages, but I've realized that over the years, I'm starting to forget how to spell some words. I should probably stop using it to reprogram my brain.
At my old government job, we had a fax machine because it "couldn't be hacked", so we would only accept certain documents via fax. Is this true? I have no idea. It was even more questionable when we switched the fax line to digital and received all the faxes via a software program on computers. Is THAT "un-hackable" too? No clue.
My "Big Jim" hatch chile plant isn't looking very big yet. The Guizeppi Milds and California Wonders are doing a bit better. This was the first day I took them all outside for a few hours to start the hardening off process. I've had them inside with a fan and grow lights up until now.
I expected some flowering at this point, but it's been stupidly cold and rainy here since I planted back in late March (I'm in 6a/6b), so maybe I'm expecting too much too soon? Next week is the first week it will in theory be above 55 degrees F overnight.
I've also been battling gnats (sticky traps and mosquito dunks for the win), which is weird to me because with the fan, the top layer of soil dries out pretty quickly, but I think I have them managed now.
Tried my hand at yeasted sweet bread from the King Arthur Baking School cookbook – one plain, the other is lemon poppyseed.
They came out okay, but I think I screwed myself over by using flour that was too cold because I pulled it straight from the freezer instead of taking it out the night before. The dough got a rise, but not big enough for my liking. Not sure if I also maybe kneaded it too much, as it was really hard to get the long strips for the braids to stay long, they just kept springing back into shorter strips.
Probably won’t make this again, but I think the bread will make for some really good French toast.

They're a bit more leggy than I think is healthy, but hopefully repotting them will help.
Made 2 basic white bread loaves for the first time and they came out pretty decent, despite being a tad lopsided. 
First time trying to grow anything from seed by myself. Fingers crossed it works out!
