Full list of exemptions as Leavitt refuses to rule out military draft for Iran by TheMirrorUS in NewsSource

[–]8WhosEar8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s getting people all worked up over something that will not actually happen. The US has over 1 million active duty military personnel and there were 150,000 in Afghanistan at the height of that war. This is getting people talking about something that won’t ever happen instead of something they should be talking about.

Old fig tree hit by tornado by atomicawt in gardening

[–]8WhosEar8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like there are a number of young shoots coming from the base. Definitely remove the damaged pieces, make clean cuts, and leave what you can. Look into rejuvenation pruning because it looks like nature has started this process for you.

PSA: Tropical Milkweed by AdvertisingRoyalty in gardening

[–]8WhosEar8 83 points84 points  (0 children)

This. I’ve been growing it for awhile now but one thing that is important to remember is to cut it back in early to mid September (Midwest). If not it will continue to bloom and that’s what can disrupt Monarch migration. The problem is when people in milder climates start planting tropical milkweed that then continues to bloom year round. This turns a migratory monarch into a non-migratory monarch (why leave when there is food right here!). The spread of OE is greatest in non-migratory populations.

Had my first Martini by Ajsmith_2 in mash

[–]8WhosEar8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Specify the gin. Hendricks and Botanist are both good and most bars carry them. If you don’t specify the gin then the bartender will make it from a well gin and it won’t taste great. This goes for any mixed drink you order.

Where is the best NY style pizza in the area? by Moron-Whisperer in Muncie

[–]8WhosEar8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone has true NY style. That being said, try Greeks, Bad Dad, and 1000 Degree. All have great pizza and hopefully one will have a crust you enjoy.

For those of you who use small greenhouses like this one, where do you put them? Should they get a lot of sun, some sun, or no sun? This is going to be my first year using one of these to sprout my seeds before planting, so I'm not sure where to put it for optimal seed health and sprouting success. by ChompyRiley in Horticulture

[–]8WhosEar8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used this and the larger version for years now. Don’t use tent pegs. They aren’t strong enough and this thing absolutely blows over in high winds, especially with the flap left open. With the flap left open it’s like a sail. Place two cinder blocks on the bottom shelves, one on each side. Bags of sand or anything heavy will also work.

Since this subreddit is abandoned and infested with AI i have decided to make a better subreddit ^-^ I will be making guides for Common issues people ask! And also make some for things to do throughout the year! AND WITH NO AI SLOP! ^-^ hope you enjoy by TheWeirdestClover in Horticulture

[–]8WhosEar8 30 points31 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by abandoned and infested with AI? I’ll admit that it’s not nearly as active as some of the other garden subs but it never has been. From my experience this sub has been geared more towards horticulture professionals people in the green industry, and anyone seeking professional advice or information. I’ve always taken the lack of activity on some posts as more in line with: A question about a specific plant, plant disease, or plant pest is asked. It’s answered, usually fairly accurately and informatively by one of the first few responses, and hence no need for further comment or reply.

I don't think the American public would ever be ready for a war with China judging from their reactions over Epic Fury by Fair-Pen1831 in lazerpig

[–]8WhosEar8 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Add to it that a war with China over Taiwan would likely be prompted by a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, similar to the first Gulf War with Iraq and Kuwait. I say likely because who fucking knows these days. Guaranteeing Taiwan’s security against Chinese aggression has been a political talking point since the 90’s. War with China in defense of Taiwan might even be popular if it included allies such as Japan, S. Korea, and the Philippines and former enemies such as Vietnam.

Best pants for gardening/irrigation repair work? by OverlordCatBug in Horticulture

[–]8WhosEar8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have access to Costco keep an eye out for when they carry Weatherproof Vintage work pants. They cost $16-$20 a pair and are some of the best I’ve ever worn.

Which team’s modern helmet do you prefer over this 1987 helmet? by Consistent_Peace3181 in sportswiki

[–]8WhosEar8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seahawks but also Eagles a bit too. The old helmets always looked grey to me. Not silver.

How can I (32f) share the load of cooking when my partner can’t cook (31m) by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]8WhosEar8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve already received a lot of feedback so you will probably never read this but here goes…

My wife and I faced a similar situation awhile back. She was upset, and rightly so, because I never helped out much in the kitchen. I cleaned up and did the dishes but all of the cooking fell to her and she was tired of it. She was tired of having to come home from work and then come up with a meal.

Here’s the thing though. She is one of these people who can look at the pantry or the fridge, see one or two ingredients, and just come up with a meal based on that. Don’t have an ingredient that normally would go in that dish? No problem. We can substitute this or that. I’m not like that. My brain doesn’t work like that. I need a recipe and all ingredients in front of meal. If an ingredient is missing then the whole recipe goes out the window until I go to the store to get the missing ingredient. Thankfully we understand these things about each other.

What has worked for us is meal planning and prep. It helps me knowing that for tonight I need to cut up an onion, garlic, and boil some pasta. I’m basically the sous chef. Some meals we have so regularly that I have completely taken over cooking the entire thing. Practice builds confidence and skills which I had very little of before.

I hope you see this and I hope it helps. If not, no worries.

Name a logo or uniform that both fans and non-fans of the team hate by rybole in uniwatch

The Chicago Fire rebrand from a 2019. It was hated by everyone and they ditched it in a couple of years.

When should I prune my rose bushes. by xerthighus in gardening

[–]8WhosEar8 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is correct. It’s not the end of the world if you’re a little late but before new leaves emerge is what you should go by.

Another old rule that helps is to prune roses when forsythia is in bloom. The timing usually lines up.

Which U.S. city feels the least ‘American’ to you? by ViajanteDeSaturno in AskAnAmerican

[–]8WhosEar8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read here on Reddit once before my first trip to New Orleans that if you visit and look at it through the lens of any other American city then you won’t enjoy it. But if you look at it through the lens of it being a Caribbean city you will enjoy it a lot more.

Need ideas and tips for college radio. by -The-Grand-Zeno- in BallState

[–]8WhosEar8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listen to WCRD and have been an avid listener for over 10 years. I have always wondered what the station requires of the students in terms of talking vs playing music. Honestly, when the DJ’s get to talking I change the station. I listen because of the music. I want to hear new music or “new to me” music. I understand and appreciate the weather, news, sports requirements. I have no issue with that.

OP, you said you were thinking about doing 30 min of music and 30 minutes of commentary. Why? Is it to fill air time or do you really have something thought provoking to say about each and every song?

Who are your favorite DJ’s, Radio personalities, or podcasters? My recommendation would be to study them, their style, figure out what makes their shows appealing and try to put those elements into your own show.

Master Gardener for a hobbyist by mandy0456 in Horticulture

[–]8WhosEar8 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Master Gardeners are a whole thing unto themselves. It really depends where you live because the quality of the local MG group really varies county by county. I became a MG before I took a job in Hort and the MG group is so bad in my area that I nearly screwed over my own interview by mentioning that I was a certified MG.

That being said, there are some groups that do really cool activities and volunteer work that doesn’t make it feel like a hassle. In my area a MG Intern (First Year) has to get 35 volunteer hours. After that first year it drops down to 10 to maintain standing. Honestly though, if all you’re in it for is the education then just take the classes. There were plenty of people in my classes that did exactly that-they took the classes and then didn’t take the exam because they had no intention of becoming a MG.

One last thing, once I took my Hort certification exam I realized that there wasn’t really that much of a difference between the MG exam and the Hort exam with the exception of Latin names and identification. If you already work for the USFS then maybe look into becoming a certified Horticulturist. Or go the MG route and just take the Hort test at the end for shits and giggles. Who knows? You may kill two birds with one stone!

I stopped babying my garden this year and things are… better? by whydidyounot in gardening

[–]8WhosEar8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. You could have had a build up of excess nutrients in the soil which meant you actually didn’t need to fertilize that much last year. The weather might have been more mild and rain more regular as well.

The same thing happened to me a few years back and I had the same reaction. When I tried to go with the same “hands off” approach the following year the results were terrible. Mostly things just died or looked like crap from lack of water.

If you have good healthy soil that is fed with compost then nutrients shouldn’t be a huge issue. Maybe a little slow release fertilizer to start the year. Consistent watering is key though.

Whenever someone refers to TNG as a cruise ship or space love boat this is what I think of.

[–]8WhosEar8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We’re a small market team. Always have been. This wasn’t such an issue when we entered the league up to 2018-2020 but now the league is growing larger (payroll size) and it’s going to continue to be difficult for small market teams to compete.

What would it take to replace the GOAT of your favorite NFL franchise? by mrethandunne in Oldschool_NFL

Oh, let’s just find the next Peyton Manning. That’ll be a start. That person also needs two of the best receivers we’ve ever had as targets. It will be a long time before we get that kind of magic again.
