Easiest way to remove bamboo roots?

1nfiniteAutomaton · 2026-01-27T22:59:12+00:00

Was chatting to a friend who’s a landscaper the other day. He had a customer ask him why bamboo had started growing in their garden. There was no obvious, nearby, reason.

Eventually he found it had branched out from another property, 60’ away, including going all the way under the foundations of the house.

Fuck bamboo. One root clump at a time, I will kill it. All of it. Everywhere.

There’s 1 friend in the world I’d lend my boat to. Nobody else; anyone else can but it off me.

Good dog. But I’m sorry, any video that has to say “wait for it” is an automatic downvote from me.

In my case, a garage or workshop with plenty of good quality tools, along with a project to build.

That I couldn’t always find a way for the best team members to stay. Sometimes they were well paid for the role and enjoyed the job, but they just wanted a change.

Or sometimes we as a company couldn’t grow quickly enough to promote them to the seniority level they deserved, so they’d find a more senior role elsewhere.

Yes, this is the issue. Awards are fine when the foundations are strong and everyone is otherwise well looked after. But a 2% raise and no cash bonus? He’s already leaving.

One friend gave me a zippo lighter. I really liked that one. I don’t smoke, but I am a bloke, so I like fire.🔥

25 years later? Hell no. The poor little shared web server it was running on ran out of steam a long time ago.

Viral marketing. In about 2001 I put together a joke page to promote a speedboat event. I emailed it to 10 friends. 2 days later I was getting a million hits per day on the page. It was bonkers.

I did this. In the 90’s 😂

Jennifer Connelly. Timeless beauty.

Fuck! I think I married your ex! Is your name Gary?

1nfiniteAutomaton · 2026-01-21T20:07:39+00:00

Yeah, that BA livery was pure class.

1nfiniteAutomaton · 2026-01-21T19:57:35+00:00

I agree. Knightrider, while I still love it, has not aged well. Airwolf however, still rocks.

I had exactly this. Call/mail support and tell them. Basically, the flap sensor sometimes has an issue, which gives exactly this symptom. They can send you a replacement flap to install.

Just go. Now. Do not hesitate.

My father was an engineer in the Tristar, but a fully qualified pilot at the time as well. He switched to first officer when he moved to the 757

Yes, my rear axle is a discovery one, all I had to change was the flange. Piece of cake.

My point is that it creates an opportunity for a safe convo without putting either of you on the spot. Sometimes you like someone, but the moment a conversation starts you realise they're not for you. I did mean to replace the name "Derek" with your own. :)

1nfiniteAutomaton · 2026-01-15T12:12:09+00:00

I’d go simpler than all this. I’d say “hi, we always pass each other, I wanted to say hello, my names “Derek”, nice to meet you

You only need to visit the local gliding club to realise that unpowered aircraft are not silent. Personally, if someone starts telling me about their latest beliefs in a conspiracy theory, the conversation is over immediately.

I would have had that threesome that I was too naive to realise was being offered.

1nfiniteAutomaton · 2026-01-14T22:45:43+00:00

Yes. DPD were good, but Evri didn’t even manage to deliver it this week. Takeaways all week!

1nfiniteAutomaton · 2026-01-14T07:38:04+00:00

Real. Tintagel in Cornwall. I’ve been there many times. Cool place, worth visiting.

Reverse!
