I grabbed one of the buckets they have out (which is an AWESOME idea) and thought I would pick up trash while shelling. Ended up picking up way more trash than shells (I'm picky). 2 buckets, mostly small and medium bits of hard plastic, probably from beach umbrella set-ups, and SOOOOOO many bottle caps. Water bottle caps, Gatorade caps, spray sunscreen caps, stick sunscreen caps, fireball shot caps, every kind of cap you can imagine. Also found some beer cans, a plastic army man, a wire frame and metal U-anchors, a pack of Zyns, a frisbee, and the sole of a shoe.

Started picking up little pieces, then found an intact snack baggie and just went for it XD

Looks like it's mostly leftovers from a baby/gender shower, but still felt nice to make use of a Sunday morning :)

In our town you can adopt a street for 4 years and they give you a sign! In return you have to clean it 1 time every 3 months.

I named it after the app I made for gamifying litter picking! I’m not going to lie this is the goofiest sign in town but I love it.

Is adopt a street a thing in your area?

Trash Party had another gorgeous fall outing this weekend in the North Linden neighborhood! Over 35 volunteers came together to remove 110 bags of trash, 20 tires, and tons of bulk trash to completely clean up this stretch of woods. We removed 6,700 LBS of trash which brings our total removed from the City to 163,000 LBS of trash!!

During afternoon rush hour, I sometimes see this woman picking up litter and sweeping debris at this intersection. Does anyone know why she does this?

I had no less than 5 different people coming over and saying thank you. It's nice to do something for the community!

Little know facts about the Schuylkill River (per Grok):

• Its name means “hidden river” (or “hidden creek”) in Dutch. Early Dutch explorer Arendt Corssen named it that in the 1600s because its mouth into the Delaware River was hard to spot amid marshlands and dense vegetation (near what later became the Philadelphia Navy Yard area).

• The Lenape people had more descriptive names for it long before Europeans arrived, including Ganshowahanna (“falling/roaring waters”) and Manayunk (“where we drink”). The river supported them for thousands of years as a source of fish, water, and travel. 

• Fairmount Park was created specifically to protect the river’s water quality. In the early 1800s (around 1812), Philadelphia set aside land along the Schuylkill as a buffer to safeguard the city’s drinking-water supply—an early example of watershed protection. The Fairmount Water Works became a key part of that system. 

• It was once one of America’s most polluted rivers and even caught fire. Heavy coal silt, industrial waste, and sewage turned stretches lifeless in the 19th and early 20th centuries (coal silt alone once totaled tens of millions of tons). It caught fire at least once in the 1890s from oil on the surface. Major cleanup efforts beginning in the 1940s (including dredging and the Clean Streams Act) brought it back; it was named Pennsylvania’s first Scenic River in 1978 and has since recovered enough to support dozens of fish species, bald eagles, and recreation. 

• The Schuylkill Navy (founded 1858) is the oldest amateur athletic governing body in the United States. It still oversees rowing on the river (especially around Boathouse Row) and helped establish amateur standards that influenced broader American sports.

nice walk around the neighborhood and local park after a big rain storm. lots of trash stuck on the dirt and road today. had someone drive by, honk, and throw me a peace sign which was nice. made some progress in my current audiobook (Authority by Jeff VanderMeer).

Hey folks — long-time lurker, first-time beggar. I run a small nonprofit site (trashmob.eco — we organize community litter cleanups) and I have an intermittent apex-domain bug that I've been chasing for months and finally need an army of strangers to help me pin down.

The setup: Azure Front Door Standard in front of a Container App. www.trashmob.eco is a CNAME to the AFD endpoint; trashmob.eco is an alias A record to the same endpoint. Both custom domains bound to the same route, both with AFD-managed certs, both Approved. There's a rule set that 308s the apex to https://www.trashmob.eco/.

What works, all day, every day, from every device I own:

• http://trashmob.eco/ → 308 → https://www.trashmob.eco/ (single hop, x-azure-ref header present, everything textbook)
• https://trashmob.eco/ → 308 → https://www.trashmob.eco/
• https://www.trashmob.eco/ → 200 with the page

What (I'm told) sometimes doesn't work:

• User types trashmob.eco into a fresh browser session — usually iPhone Safari, but also Chrome on desktop — and gets a "site can't be reached" style error
• Refresh, and it loads fine
• Going straight to www.trashmob.eco has never once failed

I've written up the current investigation, ruled out DNS + cold-container-start + cert propagation, deployed a single-hop redirect fix, and cannot for the life of me reproduce it. Every warm probe is clean. But at least one user hit it yesterday on an iPhone.

The ask: if you have a spare 15 seconds — especially if you're on iOS Safari, on a mobile network, or in a region that isn't the US west coast — could you try typing trashmob.eco (no https://, no www.) into a fresh browser tab / private window and let me know:

1. Did it load? (Yes / no — either answer is a data point.)
2. If it didn't load: what did the error say, verbatim? A screenshot is worth a thousand curl -vs. The error text alone would narrow this from four theories to one.
3. Bonus: your rough geo (country / region is fine), browser, and whether hitting refresh made it work.

I'm not asking for a support engagement, a code review, or the truth about whether I should just delete the apex record and let www win — I just need enough repros to correlate the pattern. Whatever you send back, I promise to update the investigation log and reply with what I find.

Thank you in advance. If Azure Front Door were a person I would like to have a very long, calm conversation with it.

Litter Troopers app is a passion project I've been working on since Nov 2025! It came a long way and were are still developing and improving the app alot. We could use more users and testers if you interested in trying our Beta app. Comment below iOS or Android and I'll drop the link. Thank you and hope to see you on the leaderboards!

I did my part in the township's "clean communities day" and filled 3 large bags with streetside trash. Before the event a municipal mower had chewed up a plastic campaign(?) sign. Ugh.
