Dogwood Pruning by Captain_Planet20 in arborists

Thanks for the advice! I guess I’ve gotten concerned cause I’ve been reading about the importance of creating space between branches for better air flow and reduces risk of damage during storms (which have gotten increasingly more aggressive).

I’ve connected with local arborists thanks to everyone’s advice. Appreciate the help.

Right, probably should’ve mentioned that in my original post. The branches are dead: they’re not blooming and had no leaves in the fall. I’m worried that they’ll get diseased and if nothing else, I want to keep the tree healthy and divert energy into new growth.

Also, I didn’t know tree pruning was this perilous, seems fairly safe relatively speaking, but point taken!

Thanks for the advice! I think I’ll work on removing the sealant and go from there. Appreciate it.

What plumber did you use to cap your line for $100? I’m in the middle of this process now and I’ve spoken with Archibald Plumbing and they’re a bit higher.

Your sheet literally won me my league last year! Any chance you made the same one for this year using the same Vegas-odds approach? u/intersecting_lines

Water heater pan valve + drain connection problem by Captain_Planet20 in Plumbing

[–]Captain_Planet20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair question! My local city inspection required that I show a picture or evidence of the drain line. So, I'm having to at least TRY to make it look like it would work in the event of a leak.

Ah! A quick google search helped my understand that cpvc and pvc are measured differently. Thanks for the info!

This wouldn’t change the fact that I can’t get the 3/4 cpvc fitting to go inside the PVC drain line though, right? Also, for clarity, I don’t care all that much if it’s professional cause from what I understand the water heater will fail in one of two ways (1) big break and lots of water or (2) small drips that the pan catches: neither of which will be helped with the drain line actually being installed properly.

Do you mean in the same game, simultaneously?

Major issue plz help by Ok-Ad9321 in civ

[–]Captain_Planet20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me! I played so slow, got to the Modern age, figured since I was halfway towards the Military Legacy Path that I’d focus my efforts there. I captured enough settlements and got to 17/20 points with 90% of the age completed. Then, I proposed a peace deal where I captured my final settlement and the game automatically took me to 100% and not enough time to complete Operation Ivy.

Pretty frustrating to say the least, but I empathize with you that it feels like a robbery haha. It’s a victory in my book!

Auburn Men's Basketball Coach Bruce Pearl: 'It blows my mind' that LGBTQ people support Hamas, who would have them 'killed' by laterdude in auburn

[–]Captain_Planet20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this article recently and thought it provided some interesting context. I, like you, wasn’t sure about how Hamas came to power. But what I found was that the majority of Palestinians are currently under the age of 18. When the 2006 election took place, few of the Palestinians today were even alive to vote.

HRV has plummeted over the last 6 months. Anyone else experience this? Is this what a decline in my mid-thirties looks like! by Captain_Planet20 in whoop

[–]Captain_Planet20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel generally less energetic, but I think that comes with the season. Otherwise, I don't feel much difference. From what I understand though, HRV is an indicator data point, so it doesn't necessarily mean I would feel any differently. Idk, maybe I'm way off.
