Lots of thunderstorm and lightning warnings today, quarter sized hail where I am! Just curious what incense you love on a day like this one and what it smells like :)

As title states I need advice. I have a sweet potato vine growing in my bathroom all up and down the walls, very happy. I water it once the soil and exposed sweet potato on top look visibly whiteish and definitely dry , maybe every 3-4 days . 200 ml no more no less for fear of drowning the bugs. Soil from my backyard has very healthy ecosystem of pill bugs happily in it, constantly see little babies and big ones crawl out after I water and I love them so much probably love the bugs more than the plant at this point. But, I've started to see gnats in the room and I don't know if Diatomaceous earth will kill my pill bugs. What do I do to get rid of the gnats without hurting my little friends?

I have now twice explained very nicely, "hey my insurance doesn't accept the lab you keep mistakenly sending my tests to, and I'm paying very large out of pocket fees for it" and had them apologize just to do it again. this is the last time. I should've gotten someone new after the 2nd time to be honest. The fact I pay for their mistake makes me so angry I feel the need to share because i feel crazy. Theres not many providers in my area already so finding one that works with my insurance leaves me very few options and apparently a bunch of them don't know how to do basic essentials like how to send to the right lab for patients or not treat them like a science project instead of a person. I'm tired.

I'm based in the US. Learning about the DMCA and how you can't modify something against the manufacturers wishes even if it is innocuous and legal. You can face a $500,000 fine for a first offense. Things was kind of aware of, but wasn't aware just how severe the penalties could be.

I was wondering if there's a significant enough market for tech you CAN repair and modify to your hearts content. That you're meant to repair, encouraged to. If a business built on giving consumers full customization freedom and repair resources would be something that could survive in the current market.

I know there are businesses here that already support the right to repair, but I feel like they don't sell that or really use it to it's full potential.

I'm getting an inheritance from my late grandfather, and don't want to waste it. I want to build something that he would be proud to invest that much money in, and I want to feel like I'm using that money to build something that will benefit people that aren't just me and my family.

just want to know if a significant enough portion of people care about it that a business like that wouldn't fail, or if it's silly to even try in this current industry. Thoughts, criticism, critique, support, ideas: all is welcome and encouraged.

I've been having issues contacting mods about the automoderator flagging my 5yr account and 110 karma and not following your subreddit rules hence the title of the post (if it allows me to put it up)
