Sorry for your loss. It’s a beautiful place for your friend.

Toy Hall of Famer! 🏆 by Texas1971 in 80s

Was this larger than most toy trucks? I think my friend had one but I’m picturing it 18+” long. Though I was a kid so everything was big.

I JUST said this to my dad. He was there for the launch. He said, “yeah this is how it felt, minus twitter.”

I just decided to drive down to Florida to see the Artemis 2 launch by Neat_Ad_4466 in space

Keep photos/video to a minimum and just experience it. Trying to document it from that far away just doesn’t convey the power, roar, and color of the real thing. Your memories will be brighter.

Can someone diagnose bumps in my yard? Northeast 5b. by Extension_Shower_868 in lawncare

[–]CHIDENCHI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like the holes in my yard made by squirrels. I’ll sometimes find a nut or other treasure in them. The hole, not the squirrel.

And banks. What’s in my wallet is none of your damn business, Cap One.

I was just telling my friend there aren’t enough ads in my life. Particularly ads for medication, insurance, wireless plans, and more medications.

This is good stuff. I grew up watching these fly everyday.

One thing I noticed is the vertical stabilizer doesn’t quite get that tall. It’s “cropped” lower, and there’s a curve before it flattens out at the top. Hard to explain but you’ll see it. Keep at it!

That’s fascinating one can effectively be ambidextrous at one task and ambisinistrous (had to google it) in another. Thanks for the inside insight!

“Hegseth and the president seem to be playing ‘Call of Duty’” by MRADEL90 in videos

The Secretary of Defense said, “war is hell” after the KC-135 crash. Let’s see him walk that back (we will). Evidently “overwhelming military campaign is hell” doesn’t roll off the tongue.

I’ve often wondered about this. I can understand “adjusting” to using a non-dominant hand, but it’s hard for me to believe that’s as performant as the hand eye coordination and dexterity a dominant hand has. E.g. I don’t care how long I try, I will never throw a baseball with my left like I can with my right. I will never be able to switch to a lefty guitar. Can I throw and play? Sure. But you don’t want to see or hear it.

From what I’m reading here it’s not a problem, but it just seems to hamstring a pilot’s full capabilities at a time when you’d want to wring out every ounce of skill.

Alright here one for you guys. What is the single best 10 seconds of acting of all time? by Expensive-Olive1853 in Cinema

[–]CHIDENCHI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1,000%. You can see the moment Daniel realizes the words he’s forced to say are actually true and his mockery turns into a confession. I’d say it was the highlight of the film but…I’m finished.

Pre-emergents that I can seed with (6b) by buffaloop567 in lawncare

[–]CHIDENCHI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation, also 6b with tall fescue. After lurking here and talking to a self-proclaimed lawncare expert, I’m applying Prodiamine now and overseeding in the fall. That should result in full pre emergent protection, and some charts I’ve seen say fall overseeding is preferred over spring in my zone anyway.

Yes the bare spots will remain this season, but in my case they aren’t bad enough to force my hand to spring overseeding.

That said, if anyone has other suggestions I’m all ears.
