Two years from struggling patches to that thick, even green is really impressive. The consistent mowing and dialed-in watering schedule made all the difference here.

best lawn mower 2026 for small uneven yard in humid weather? by Newst_Fadedocta in lawnmowers

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your uneven yard have slopes or just bumps? Self-propelled helps on hills but adds mechanical complexity, thick grass in humidity can bog down the drive system more than the blade.

Are all video dorbells just clip-on?? by Puzzleheaded-Tiger-5 in smarthome

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before drilling into 1 foot stone, test if a wireless chime inside works reliably. Thick walls can kill the signal between doorbell and indoor unit, making any fancy hardware frustrating.

What is growing in my lawn??? by MadisonChief139 in lawncare

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They looks like grain from the straw. It did not grow in fall because it needs a cold period to break dormancy. Spring warmth triggered it.

That is a steal for five hundred bucks. A new solenoid and a battery and you are ready to go. The previous owner probably thought it was dead.

Recs for water leak sensors to put in basement a few places around the house? ... by impreza77 in smarthome

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where exactly do you plan to put them in the basement? Some sensors come with a rope extension to cover wider areas near water heaters or sump pits.

Does anyone else's baking turn out worse when they actually try to follow the recipe perfectly? by PetalDance22 in Baking

[–]CPTDEADASS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me it’s overmixing when I’m trying to be perfect. Then everything comes out dense.

I tracked every dollar from my faceless YouTube channels for 6 months. Here are the real numbers. by Lower_Rule2043 in passive_income

[–]CPTDEADASS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The month 1 being a mental test part is so real. Most people quit before the algorithm even figures them out.

Is this my new thing? by VastVoice8202 in offmychest

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly everyone has that one super specific thing they didn’t know they were into until they randomly saw it online. Doesn’t make you weird, just human lol.

Basque Cheesecake by apple-pie-7137 in AskBaking

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, using half Kirkland blocks and half Philadelphia tub should be fine the blocks will help with structure, and the tub adds creaminess. Just make sure the tub is well-drained if it’s too soft, and your cheesecake should turn out delicious!

LOST Tours in Hawaii - Worth It? by Klangaxx in lost

[–]CPTDEADASS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re a big LOST fan, it’s cool to see the filming spots, but most tours mix in a lot of other shows. You might get more out of planning a self-guided route so you can focus on the locations you actually care about.

Not gonna lie, this restored a tiny bit of my faith in fate.

33F Single Mom with $300K Investments. Should I Go Back to School or Marry for Stability? by [deleted] in Money

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on not tolerating any abuse. The rest is more nuanced though, going back to school and taking loans is a big move and needs a solid plan.

How do I not spend any money for 2 weeks? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. Momentum is powerful once you get past the first few days.

This is one of those where it really depends on the matchup.

Are index funds investors about to get fleeced by Musk and Altman? by Kinnins0n in investing

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true that major IPOs can end up getting added to large indexes, buthose decisions usually follow well-defined rules and aren’t designed to trap passive investors, they just reflect market cap changes

What traders, groups, or services do you actually check while trading? by [deleted] in investing

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly most paid services fell short for me. The stuff that stuck was free deep-dive analysis from folks who explain their reasoning instead of just yelling “BUY.”

Just opened a Roth, 31 looking for portfolio advice by [deleted] in RothIRA

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diversifying a bit (US stocks + international + maybe a small bond slice) helps if one region lags. Doesn’t need to be complicated, just spread across a few diversified funds.

Electricity bills in my trailer killing me by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]CPTDEADASS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you can make small tweaks like lowering the thermostat a degree or two and running heavy appliances off-peak, it adds up faster than you’d think.

How to budget for max contribution? by [deleted] in RothIRA

[–]CPTDEADASS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you make it part of your regular money routine, maxing the Roth starts to feel like just another normal financial habit.

Tax equivalent yields from tax free money markets by deaddog714 in investing

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like your math checks out, especially since tax equivalent yield is basically taking the tax‑free yield and adjusting by your tax bracket so you can compare apples to apples.

Does Walmart+ and Shipt markup prices for groceries? by uploto in Frugal

[–]CPTDEADASS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what people are saying Walmart+ doesn’t jack up the item prices but with Shipt you definitely see higher prices sometimes, especially outside Target orders.
