During 2019’s first week, the men’s-wear shows came alive in London, as if they couldn’t wait to tell everyone about the warring impulses that would split closets across the land. There was the strappy, tactical war-core against what could be called the prepster, and then the preppy versus the blue-collar undercurrent that has buoyed the market for a few years. Each trend reflects an anxiety of right now, setting up a battle for the culture, if you’re prone to that sort of thinking. In the end, an odd sort of harmony settles between the looks, if one is willing to mix messages and brands. And remember: if all else fails, Balenciaga’s creative director, Demna Gvasalia, made it O.K. to pull your bootcut jeans out of the closet.

Have you been thinking of adding a fruit tree or two, some roses, or other productive plants to your garden? This is the perfect time for plants that are sold in “bare root” form.

The best way to temporarily store bare root trees is by a process known as “heeling in.” Dig a shallow V-shaped trench in a protected, shady area of your yard. Remove any packaging from around the roots, then place the rootball into the trench so that it is entirely below ground, with the tree lying down against the side of but outside the trench. Cover the rootball with loose soil or sawdust, then water it lightly but frequently to keep it moist, not saturated. A wheelbarrow in the garage works well as a temporary storage “trench” too.

Extruded products most commonly require a dryer. “When a product is made on an extruder there is usually moisture added during this cooking step in the form of steam or water to get the correct product appearance and cook level,” explains Galen Rokey, process technology director, Wenger Manufacturing, Sabetha, Kansas. “This moisture must then be removed for product shelf life. Typical extruded pet foods may contain 20% to 30% moisture prior to drying. Conveyor speeds within the dryer allow the proper bed depth and retention time. Drying temperatures are another operating parameter needed to reach a product moisture level between 6% and 8% as the product leaves the dryer.”

Again, a fixed-blade knife is a good starting point. Beyond that, your preferred method of self-defense is up to you. Many survivalists prefer something compact and stealth like a .357 revolver or another lightweight handgun. For something more robust, shotguns and machetes guarantee a certain intimidation factor, even if you never actually need to use them.

So, your humble graphics card has already been through quite a lot before it even gets into the dusty confines of your PC. Next time it throws a bit of a wobbly when you’re playing Hitman or CoD maybe give it a bit of a break, eh?

A: Sharing is in our very nature. We wouldn’t be here if our mothers hadn’t rather selflessly cared for us. My class is about expanding the ways we share. One of my early sharing experiences occurred when my clothes dryer broke. I asked my next-door neighbor if she’d mind if I used hers. She said, “Oh, no, I don’t mind.” I would never have thought to ask. It wasn’t a big deal to her but it meant a lot me.
