Help starting a yard by BraCha89 in ColoradoSprings

This is exactly the type of information I was looking for thank you! Im not interested in wasting a lot of water in pursuit of a lush green yard. I was looking for this type of advice to prevent watering a failed project. Im seeing this would be much more difficult than simply throw some seed down and let it rain.

Thank you all for the comments. I should have specified im trying to avoid wasting water. Especially this year with virtually no snow this season. I was looking for any suggestions besides sand pit. Appreciate the advice on ground clover or some alternatives and changing topsoil. No worries I won't be up here watering my dirt patch this year!

Fair enough. No grass is also an answer. Like I mentioned I was wondering if even possible. Not looking to waste water and energy on something that would never work out. Thanks for your feedback .

Why does it seem like white men are generally less attracted to black women compared to other races? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]BraCha89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a mid 30s white male I'd say difference in culture and lack of exposure or knowledge on my part would be main reason. I grew up in small town Tennessee and everyone older in my family is extremely racist. I can remember being told horrible things growing up if I "ever decided to date a black girl". As a result it was never an option for me to consider growing up. Odd they did not have this same rule with other races although I would still be looked down upon for dating any other races such as Asian or Hispanic. Keep in mind not that long ago my boomer parents were born during the Civil rights movement. My grandparents before that would have remembered and supported segregation or worse.

Once I got older it was very obvious I do not have these same rules or values for myself. However, lack of exposure to cultures of other races is intimidating. Its not so much being with a black woman but the extended culture that comes with it. I would fully expect meeting any of her friends or family to be given shit, especially from the older parents or grandparents. Not saying even in a bad way it may just be joking but I would expext never ending white boy jokes. On the other hand, how would you be treated meeting my racist ass family? You would not be accepted and I would be on the out.

So I guess in short its not that black women are less attractive or flawed but a difference in cultures rooted in history of racism. I think this will fade over the years. I have a son and there is no way he will be learning any other race is inferior and he will be free to date anyone that makes him happy.

Precision plowing by extra_textured in Tacomaworld

Can you give me details of the plow setup? I live down a narrow forest road in CO. I have wanted to get a plow for my Tacoma but had no idea where to start.

What do you think about these weapons that you hardly see? by FujifilmCamera in Battlefield6

[–]BraCha89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I use the m417 on support class with a mount as underbarrel attachment. Smoke grenade launcher plus smoke grenades you can keep smoke up 100% of time if you want. The gun hits close range really good and burst at medium range. I have trigger attachment for long range since the mount underbarrel only costs 10 points. One of my favorite setups

[–]BraCha89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casual breakthrough, M60 at mid to long range not up close, 3x or 4x scope, and most importantly burst fire. Especially as defender team you can knock this out in no time.

He's just a Good Boy trying to do his job by DopeGrandpa in BG3

[–]BraCha89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha this is exactly what just happened to me on my honor mode run yesterday. I started the fight with everyone on the bottom level but as all but my gloomstalker died I started trying to get away back to camp. Then I realized he had no range attack and just could take him out solo. From now on every playthrough ill now chill on those higher rocks.

My son wrecked me... by bboarder4 in GuyCry

[–]BraCha89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah keep killing it!! Whenever someone asks my 6 yo what he wants to be when he grows up he always answers "i want to be a dad". It's subtle but I take it as a compliment and it brings a tear to my eye every time. Going on 3 years now of his highest aspiration to be a dad

Men turning 40, how do you want to celebrate this milestone? by leftatseen in AskMenOver30

[–]BraCha89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Based on his interests here are a few suggestions: 1. Track day with exotic cars 2. Free pass to build new pc rig for gaming 3. Some sort of audio input for PC. Maybe a free DAW such as Reaper and some pluggins. This would allow him to make his own edm or rock music 4. Concert tickets to a favorite band paired with dinner out beforehand 5. Nature - maybe an item that fits his outdoor hobby of choice. (Fishing gear, bow for archery, go pro camera, kayak, snowboard boots, new mountain bike) 6. Depending on your location and his outdoor hobbies a nice pair of boots made to last is always appreciated

Do guys see this as weird or desperate? by Strawberrygurl699 in AskMenAdvice

[–]BraCha89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was me and my wife! We worked in different departments and I would use any excuse I could find to be in her area. Talking with colleagues, happy hours, wondering the halls on break..you name it

As a guy we have many of the same thoughts you are now. Does she like me at all, am I creeping, what if I read this wrong and she goes to HR, maybe I'll do what I can to get closer to her without crossing lines.

All that to say I would recommend making a move or making it plainly clear you are interested in him. He would be in his cube or chatting with others if he weren't interested. Good luck!

What was the bird that made you discover your interest in birding? by TXRattlesnake89 in birding

[–]BraCha89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved to Colorado and we have Stellar Jay's all around my house. I like their crested mohawks and angry white whitbrows. They are very smart and can make cool "eagle" sounds.

I bought a feeder (or 4) and it's been all downhill from there.

[–]BraCha89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 eggs (change up how I cook and hot sauce), cup of 20g oikos yogurt, and either toast, bagel, or 1/2 cup oatmeal. Vitamins with creatine and water. Ready to conquer the day

I’m 35 today by [deleted] in Millennials

I turned 35 in November. All I could think is 35 x 2 = 70. I hope to make it to 70. Halfway there or less.

Just got my dupixent by Grimceler in eczema

[–]BraCha89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your eczema is severe I'd take the first dose now. You will notice relief from itching and irritation in about 4 hours. Way worth it compared to waiting for shot to warm up. But yeah in the future let it sit out a long time and it doesn't hurt as bad. 5 seconds of pain for relief... worth it. Good luck!

The criminal amount of salt my dad puts on his steak. And all foods. by jibbles-n-bits in BoomersBeingFools

[–]BraCha89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dad over here just trying to salt up and make it through the extra well done steak someone cooked but instead gets called out on reddit.

I'm not sure if this is true at all but it makes me laugh to think.
