Nice work! A little wood paste wax on the sole will make the plane a lot easier to push. Wood paste was is also nice to put on the surface of your table saw if you have one.

They make great compost too if you have any plants or a compost pile.
If they're edible dry, it should be fairly straightforward to build something to crush the pods and then sift out the seeds. Perhaps they could be milled into a type of flour? I still don't think the yield would be that high, but at least some use would come of them.
No idea. The green seeds are not that big, but they are soft. Once they're mature they turn pretty hard. Green they would be hard to process/remove from the seed pods.
The sand dunes in MI were completely unexpected the first time we saw them. The size/scale is completely unexpected for how far inland they are.
This photo was at an outdoor museum, but I imagine they still have bunnies. Between deer and rabbits we're somewhat limited in regards to what we can grow. Thankfully they both leave our ecanacia alone.
I can't imagine they're worth much, but if you want some I'll ship them your way. Ditto for cana lilies - we have a bumper crop this year.
Thankfully the seeds don't seem that robuy
Or grabbed a seed pod ;)
Ours is from a local nursery. It's been in the ground at our house somewhere between 8 and 10 years and it's loving life! Its 4 year old seedlings are four feet tall and putting out decent blooms now too. It's never too late to plant another one.
Thankfully the seeds don't seem very robust. This is year three of just tossing them into the pile and none have grown in it so far.
It's probably down to how much random crap is being loaded along with what you're trying to see. The modern web means page load takes forever, in part because of all the random things your browser also has to pull down. Some of this content need to be loaded before you can render much of anything and some of that will result in calls to yet more random servers. Look at the network tab in your browser's dev tools to see what I'm talking about. Without an ad blocker you're probably looking at calls to 10-20 servers just to load a webpage.
The old reddit API was actually pretty snappy, in part because it didn't need a lot of this overhead. I suspect the same is true for Lemmy - no extra fluff.
Flat thin things are weak. Curved thin things are much stronger. Add compound curves and you're really talking.
You'll see this all over if you look for it: ribbed metal siding and roofing, waffle slab cement, automotive hood strength comes from the thin stamped sheet metal on the inside, floor pans have ribbing, soda bottles that you can stand on when empty, etc.
