Got banned from a city council Facebook group for asking about a tree ordinance

Friend of mine ran into something similar in our town. She noticed the town Facebook page was deleting any comments about a new development going up on wetland that was supposed to be protected. When she asked in the comments why the planning board let it slide, they just said "we don't allow soliciting posts about permits" and muted her for 30 days. The land got sold to a developer who was the town treasurer's cousin. She ended up having to file a FOIA request six months later to get the paperwork showing they fast tracked the permit without an environmental review.

Showerthought: wasted $150 on a meal prep delivery service

My neighbor signed up for a meal kit service and got three boxes before realizing she could just walk to the grocery store and pick out her own vegetables in ten minutes. @roberts.jordan is right, the whole thing is just hoping you won't remember to call and cancel.

Why does nobody talk about how long it takes to actually install a heat pump?

Spent my first weekend watching YouTube tutorials on loop instead of actually doing anything productive.

Visited the old ironworks museum in Bethlehem, PA and saw something odd

Wait, you mean that whole setup at the living history museum near us was wrong? @campbell.evan, this is exactly the kind of thing you were talking about with the farm tools - once they put it on display, everyone just buys it.

Changed my mind about cash after that outage last month

Right? I was the same way until my friend dragged me to one and I ended up loving it. What was the thing that finally convinced you to give it a shot?
