Question: I have about 7,000 photos/1,000 videos on my phone. I want to erase most of them but still have them somewhere that I can access again. Could someone recommend one of those stick things? There’s so many I don’t know which one to choose.

What kind of phone is it? Does it use USB-C or Lightning (flat with a white thing with gold or silver lines on it)? How much storage do the photos take up?

This one looks alright if you have a phone with USB-C:

I'm guessing your photos don't sync to a computer? That's where I store/sort mine, since there's generous space (and THEN back them up to a flash drive... I've got a Samsung USB C with 256GB space.

I never considered using a flash drive (stick thing) with a phone before, so defaulting to @notabitail's tech support.

We're going to go solar on our home in a few years. We can't right now as hubby is tied up remodeling.

In the meantime, I have been looking on Marketplace unsuccessfully for a solar setup for the two coops. 3K watts (2K heater in one coop, 1K in the other) and a standard-size air conditioner in the breeder coop is what the worst would be.

Solar panel placement may have to be independent as one coops is surrounded by trees, and the other one faces south, but not sure I want to stare at solar panels there. Although, they would be a block for the heat in the summer.

I shop but have no idea what I'm looking at, and hubby just tells me find the deal and show him. Everything I show him isn't good enough or has some fault. It's on me to do this and I don't know what I'm looking at. I've learned we need an inverter that can handle 3K watts, a few lithium batteries, a few large solar panels, but how much of each and is buying a new setup maybe the best idea?

Have you browsed the Solar forum over on our sister site Sufficient self? Might be some helpful info there. This is on my "need to look into it" list, but so far I haven't done a lot of digging yet.

I agree! This lack of a name still has not been solved, unfortunately. Husband insists it "match" with some semblance of vague alliteration.

Hubbie can call her anything he wants. She won't answer anyone but YOU!

Place it on a flat surface outside.
Assign a hen to each color.
Dip their feet in the paint and let them go to town.
Post results here!

This sounds like an AWESOME Summer project!

QUESTION!

What are some nice, simple ways to put up curly/wavy hair that’s shoulder/just above the shoulder length?

I’m bad at braiding and my hair is pretty thick/bushy and hard to work with…

iphone 14+, uses the flat cord with lines. I'm not sure how much storage the photos take up but I'm paying $10 a month, and I'd like to cut costs.

Twist it up into a claw clip with some of your curls hanging down! They have some really nice looking claw clips now.
