Putting together a raised garden bed for my veggies turned out pretty simple.

My plot had hard soil, so I could not plant anything directly. I followed some online guides and built a frame with old wood, then filled it with dirt. What do you think is the best dirt blend for things like tomatoes and peppers?

Warning: Cleaning up satellite trails in astrophotos feels like cheating to some

I kept getting white lines across my star cluster images from passing satellites. It messed up the whole frame. I found a stacking method that automatically removes these streaks. Now, one side says any editing breaks the truth of the photo. The other side argues we should fix man-made clutter to see space better. I lean towards cleaning it up for a clearer picture. What's your take on this?

Rant: My no-sleep binge marathon was a huge mistake

Good trick with the alarm. I kept my TV remote across the room so I had to get up to turn it off. Made me really think about whether I wanted another episode. Started leaving my knitting or a book right on the couch instead, something else to do with my hands. Binging a true crime series turned into just one documentary, then reading a chapter.
