"Initially, I thought I would only do that one grave or maybe only do it for a few years. But now, after 51 years, I am still doing it."

Fantastic profile of Paul Kamphoefner, one of St. Louis's last gravediggers who dig by hand.

The new St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners looks hella corrupt. All but one is white, in a city that's half black. Most are wealthy business owners. One owns a car dealership that does bulk deals with local police. One is a co-owner of a private policing company. Absolute sham of an "oversight" board.

St. Louis Ward 8 Residents - Here's a good short article on the alder candidates. Alecia Hoyt continues to stand out to me here, as the only one that mentions traffic calming.

Just a reminder that the St. Louis Free Store for July is on Sunday, July 20th. All are welcome to come and take what they need or want. If you have donations you can bring them day of, or if that isn't possible DM me and I'll see if we can arrange something.

I sound like a hipster, but I first got into #MLS 25+ years ago with The Wiz, attending most of their games, and yes, cheering from The Cauldron.

I lost that team in a divorce.

I didn't get back into soccer until AppleTV got the broadcast contract in 2023. Since I couldn't cheer my most local team, I picked a new team, St. Louis.

Wow, that first year!

I'm still an ardent supporter. It's the one escapist luxury I allow myself every year. Someday I hope I'll get to go see a game in #STL.

What is a straightforward offline way to convert a STEP (.stp) file to either stl or openscad?

preferably FOSS and cross-platform, but either linux or mac is OK. Win only not useful.

St. Louis recently ended their alley recycling and until I find a bike solution to carry everything I have to decide between driving my recycling to a center or throwing it away. I think driving is better but still bummed that it feels like such a backslide.

I am *loving* the Blues' new secondary logos. The Fleur and STL marks are particularly fantastic. Kudos to the designers.

"St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Charles all got F grades for ozone pollution in the American Lung Association’s most recent annual report."

"To improve ozone levels in St. Louis, people will need to reduce emissions from cars, promote public transportation and put controls on industry and power plants"

The cups made of PVC pipe break leafs of lettuces. I'll replace them with a rounded-edge, #vaseMode #3dprinted net cups. They fit a 110 mm pipes #VerticalGarden. Let me know if there's anyone interested with the #STL or .scad files.

Truehold, an out-of-state investor, has quickly become one of the largest owners of single-family homes in St. Louis.

It promotes a unique "sell and stay" purchase model that has faced strong scrutiny when used by other companies.

Local real estate agents and lawyers worry that this model preys on desperate, cash-crunched homeowners.
