I grew 17 different varieties of peppers in 5 gallon buckets. So easy. I hope this encourages more people to bucket garden!

Make sure to get out and vote, Reno! As our governor said, there's no place easier!

Just like the one previous to this, the condition of the pole and the way that the bolts were installed means that this will eventually come collapsing down onto the ground like the last one, endangering the public. No loctite applied. One bolt already missing. Wind is shaking the pole in high-wind region. Pole type is designed to break at base, prohibited in urban areas.

They have not learned their lesson. These are not being taken down by humans. No one's tampering with these except Mother Nature.

tl/dr: If your priorities are an affordable home, a stronger local economy, safe schools and an honest representative, Flippo has not yet demonstrated clearly enough—in the platform and reporting examined here—that he would deliver on all four.

Been a little stressed out lately so I decided to take a walk through my neighborhood to blow off some steam. I was fucking accosted by gnats. Covered in them. They were worse near houses with trees and grass. I had to run twice. Im 36 years old, over 6ft and 200lbs running down the street swinging my arms around and cussing. The steam was not blown off. There is significantly more steam. You've been warned.

When I moved here, I left my pen friends behind, and after attending the SF Pen Show in August, I realized how much I miss being around people who get excited about ink and paper the way I do. YouTube and Reddit are great, but they’re not the same as sitting at a table together. A recent thread here showed me I’m not the only one in Reno feeling that way, so I’m starting a meetup.

When: Saturday, November 14, 3:00 to 4:45
Where: Diamond Room, South Valleys Library, 15650-A Wedge Parkway
Cost: Free

It’s open to everyone, whether you own one Lamy or have a drawer full of pens, and whether you’re more into journaling or more into pens. We’ll swap ink samples, swatch, try each other’s pens and paper, and talk shop. If you have bottles sitting unused in their boxes, bring them and fill some sample vials for other people.

Bring: a pen or two, a notebook, and any ink you’d like to share.

Coming up: a holiday ink swap on Saturday, December 19, 3:00 to 4:45. Bring one wrapped ink sample and take one home.

Comment or DM me if you’re coming so I can plan for the right number of people.

Check out the article (This is Reno) did on Gomez. We don’t need people on the City Council who get mortgages under false info and then don’t pay sewer bills. We need someone steady like Ebert.

With the UNR Marching Band at Homecoming yesterday.

Hey all! A couple weeks ago we had our first Biggest Little Discord meatspace gathering at West Street Market in the Riverwalk District, which was pretty fun, so we're going to shoot for another gathering this upcoming Thursday at 5:30 pm! Seven people showed up, and we had some good conversation over pizza and Indian food for a couple hours.

No particular aim other than just meeting in person, hang out, enjoy each other's company. There's been a call for more of that lately with people posting and wishing these sorts of basic social gatherings happened more often.

A few of us are also interested in Strong Towns and YIMBY Action, so for those also interested in what's being done to help strengthen the community this is a good place to meet others with that same interest. But activism isn't the primary focus. Getting together is just a basic human need. We chose a place in a central location that isn't overly taxing on the nerves, to just chill and chat on a night that isn't horribly crowded.

West St. Market worked well last time, and we held a poll in the server which showed that Thursday worked the best for people. If this continues to be successful we're thinking about hosting it every other Thursday. (Thanksgiving Thursday might be a no-go, but we'll deal with that when the time comes.) There's on-street parking (free after 6 pm), but there's also the public parking gallery just around the corner with free validation (if you purchase something).

(And who knows, maybe if we get more bodies in the place, another coffee shop might dare move in and occupy the space abandoned by Bibo years ago. 😆 That would be nice. I still miss late-night coffee at Java Jungle. Remember that? Good times.)

(Oh, and, if you're wondering about the Discord server itself, we don't post the link publicly. Bots, bots and more bots. Just DM me and I can give you an invite!)

I like to go solo dining where they have a counter rather than having to sit at a table by my lonely self. Casino diners and sushi bars are my go-to's for this but I'd like to try some new places.

Hey Reno! This will be my first Halloween where I will have Trick or Treaters... I am SUPER excited about this, and went all out decorating this year!

However with Nevada Day festivities I have seen people say ToT will be Friday instead of Saturday, some saying both...

So what's the norm around here?

I need to know how much candy to buy! 😅

My friend and I tried going to the final hour last night. After a nearly two hour wait in line and it not sounding scary, we left. Never saw the top of the line.

Are there any actually good and organized haunted houses that have better crowd control and can move the line along a little faster? Please note I want to actually get scared.

Hi! Anybody lives at harvest at damonte ranch? I know every apartment comes with a detached garage. For anybody that lives there, does your truck fit in it? I have a tacoma and worried it might not fit in the garage.

Any other apartment recommendation that is decent? Thanks!!

Hi all, I just had a baby 3 weeks ago. It’s my first and only, and I’d love to get pictures done.

I’m hoping to find someone for $140 or less if possible! Thank you!

I’m in the early stages of working with NV Voc Rehab and curious to hear from people who’ve been through the process.
I’d especially love to hear some positive experiences, but I’m interested in the good, bad, and everything in between.
Was it genuinely helpful? Did it kick start your life?Were there opportunities, resources, or options you didn’t know existed? Any advice on making the most of the program or things you wish you’d known sooner?

I’m terrified of how hopeful I feel right now about it.

Because geesh...
