Peter Steinberger discovers the groundbreaking revelation that AI subscriptions don't always cost an arm and a leg—just a few fingers and maybe a kidney. 🤖💰 Astonishingly, the real miracle is not the AI itself, but that anyone still uses Twitter for serious financial advice. 🐦🎩

Stop Over-thinking AI Subscriptions | Peter Steinberger

After spending heavily on AI tools for two months, here's why the math actually works out—and which subscriptions are worth every penny.

Here's an effective way to combat the high cost of pool chemicals and maintain a clean, clear pool naturally.
By using a natural bog filter, this method harnesses the power of beneficial bacteria and riparian plants to filter and purify the water, reducing the need for harsh chemicals while keeping the pool in top condition.
Materials:

Large container full of rocks and pebbles (e.g., a cheap trash can)

Riparian pond plants (e.g., creeping Jenny, Japanese taro, and yellow flag iris)

Pond pump (pumps enough gallons per hour to cycle the pool once every hour or two)

PVC fittings for a spout and drain at the bottom of the filter

Copper pieces (optional but helpful)

How It Works:

Setup:
The pond pump pulls water through a flexible pipe into the bottom of the trash can.
Water flows upwards through the layers of rocks, trapping debris and hosting beneficial bacteria.
Filtered water spills out of the spout at the top.

Filtration:
The rocks trap debris and help filter the water.
Beneficial bacteria consume nutrients and waste from decaying leaves, preventing algae growth.
Riparian pond plants consume nutrients that algae would otherwise use to grow.

Maintenance:

    Skim floating debris and vacuum settled debris regularly.

    Once a season, turn off the pump and open the drain at the bottom. Flush out any gathered debris by running your hose on top of the rocks.

    Keep the pump running 24/7; the power needed to run a small pond pump is negligible.

Benefits:

    Chemical-free pool maintenance

    Cost-effective solution

    Fresh, clean water that is safe for skin

For detailed instructions and visuals, look up natural pools and bog filters on YouTube, especially the “bog filter in a barrel” by OzPonds.

“There are currently no #CostEffective #management techniques available that would be acceptable to the #community, or clear objectives for the management of #koalas in blue gum #plantations,” — Victorian government Koala strategy, May 2023

Successive State and Federal governments use this excuse to ignore housing the population. Why aren’t you surprised they’d do this to native wildlife. 🐨

I know printers are hot topic :) and I'm very happy with my Brother color laser. I'm lucky not to have to worry about toner cost.

I've been asked to recommend printer for HS kid for whom cartridge cost will matter. I'm still thinking Brother Color Laser is best choice - as cartridges do last a long time.

Does anyone on the fedi have any other suggestions? I'm thinking of buying them the printer itself at least and the first round of cartridges. #PrinterCartridges #Printer #CostEffective

The more we look to the old ways, the better, in this case anyway. Biochar, correctly used, can sequester carbon for a thousand years.

Biochar could be a viable climate solution, study finds

Farmers scorch weeds, husks and other biomass to create biochar, then tuck it into the soil to boost crop yields and lock that carbon out of the atmosphere.
