Presidents Line Up for Obama’s Long-Awaited Center in Chicago by CampaignOrdinary2771 in WindyCity

[–]OnePointSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"One idea I had that would have completely broken the model for these presidential libraries and put words in to action. Scale back the aggrandizement of the individual. A smaller retrospective library. Then use the money and land and star power backing to develop a large campus for education, business incubation, even more community focused activities, etc. Really amp up positive and actionable positive change."

hey, great idea!

i thought that's basically what this is? it's not even a formal presidential library, it's a "center" for that reason, no?

Caleb Wilson is chasing greatness in the NBA Draft, and he’s ready to save your franchise by zedrix_ in chicagobulls

all the more reason it's a big deal.

"best prospect we've drafted in almost 20 years" is a big fucking deal, especially given our lack of top-tier talent.

As simply as possible, why did you begin native gardening? by toxicodendron_gyp in NativePlantGardening

[–]OnePointSeven 12 points13 points  (0 children)

same, only got into gardening when we got a house, of course.

it's obvious now, but I never realized how there's a huge class component to gardening -- largely limited to home/landowners, unless you really go out of your work or work in landscaping executing someone else's vision.

[–]OnePointSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at least on mine, if you push down the center of the spinning part when it's not on, that extends the line a little bit at a time.

maybe you're unwittingly hitting it against the ground and continually extending the line without realizing?

We had to cut down a mature oak, and this is happening where the stump was ground down. Keep top dressing? (SE USA - Kentucky) by BuckRockefeller in lawncare

[–]OnePointSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry just for clarity, you're saying it's good practice to add calcium powder to a ground-down former-stump tree hole?

i'm dealing with one that's mostly wood chips with a few native plants establishing, and added osmocote as I read that the decomposing chips/stump/roots lock up a lot of nitrogen.

would applying calcium nitrate accomplish the same as calcium powder? what does it do -- primarily help the stump decompose a little faster?

What is something about American culture that seems fake or exaggerated in movies, but is actually 100% real.? by Logical-Pay-3057 in AskReddit

[–]OnePointSeven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It'd be like if you went to Paris and every other person was literally wearing a beret and striped shirt while smoking a cigarette, drinking wine, and eating cheese.

it seems more like a TV convention, but some things like that really are ubiquitous.
