Interesting indeed. Thank you for passing it along.

I don't know about anyone else, I don't have my ring doorbell inside my house, in my back yard. It videos anyone coming to my door. Doesn't see the street nor my driveway (wish it did but I have a wall on the side of my entry. I wouldn't have cameras inside my house but have been thinking about cameras in my back yard. The ring camera is only triggered by movement. It goes on when someone moves within the short range of the camera. It does not go on with cars on the street or people walking on the street. Even if it did, that is public space. The Country could have cameras on the telephone poles, for all I know. Frankly there are cameras everywhere. I just paid a 'red-light ticket' my husband got by making a left on a steady red light...$158.00. He swears the turn signal was yellow. I went online and viewed the video and it was clearly red. Guilty. I guess you could call that a privacy issue? Another point. I read the article. Who is Gizmode? I never heard of them. . A simple Google search describes the website, Gizmodo as: " Gizmodo (/ɡɪzˈmoʊdoʊ/ giz-MOH-doh) is a design, technology, science and science fiction website. It was originally launched as part of the Gawker Media network run by Nick Denton, and runs on the Kinja platform. Gizmodo also includes the subsite io9, which focuses on science fiction and futurism. " Hummm, a Science Fiction website. Interesting.... The bottom line, the camera is not inside my house recording 'whatever.' It is at your front door. It records people coming to your door. If you are involved in something shady, maybe you wouldn't want anyone to see who comes to your door. From my research, they cannot share anything with the police unless you give permission (privacy laws). I paid $100.00 for a one of the best items I ever spent money on. I like getting alerts when I'm not home, I like seeing who is ringing my doorbell. I like getting an alert when a package is left at the door. Anyone who comes to my door would be visible from my windows if I looked out. I don't see a difference between my eyes or the doorbell camera. Jane

It surprised me that they could keep them in almost total darkness in winter. I would have thought they would glass across the top, instead they used wood. And the idea of pruning so they stayed close to the ground was very interesting. You would have to be on your knees to pick the fruit tho'. Lol! My knees wouldn't like that. Lol! Steve, I didn't realize you were already practicing the trench method. Intriguing.

'OTDCVADHD'. Original Topic Disregarded Co Vid Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. (be kind as we are all nuts right now,😂,) Not making fun of mental health dealing with family members. (wow). Yes, I have issues with plastics. Going back 30+years. Not just the containers, but the processed foods heated, marinated, and grilled/broiled/Microwaved. I use my microwave, in my pantry, maybe once a month....no plastic. Even then always ceramic or glass. When I visit, my mother hides her 30 year old plastics she uses. Frugal, she does not want to hear about the heath issues. They microwave daily or boil stovetop. In old plastics and old scratched non-stick teflon. The few pans I gifted them, stainless, and sheet pans, are spotless when I visit as they don't use them at all. I pack a small crate when I visit. Can't find my 'gifted' cooking items as they are off into a bedroom closet or garden shed....a danish dough whisk in the shed among screw drivers, lol. (she still uses a trashed teflon cookie sheet from years ago.) I found my sheet pan 'gifts' in the linen closet. Islay was not bring up leaching plastics via sous vide. Quite the opposite.
