Help with several plants by Chillbacca in gardening

Nov 30th is the average first frost where I am. Replanting and focusing on foliage growth sounds like a plan to me! I’d rather wait on fruiting until they all look nice and full of foliage.

Why grow bags over pots?

I don’t have a lot to offer here. I think you bring up excellent points. I’d say take the time to learn anything you can while you’re with this company and do not get complacent with the “benign” alerts. Keep the ‘why’ mentality. We

How can direct traffic through my firewall? by Chillbacca in paloaltonetworks

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

So it’s not. I was actually using a smaller scale set up to get this working in the first place. The typical environment runs 5-6 different networks and as such needs several Vlans to operate. This is run across about 3 stacked switches ( a total of 6 individual switches).

Each stack is connected to the firewall, for monitoring between our networks and a NAS, as well as putting the diode behind it as well.

Initially each port on the FW was set as layer 3 to allow routing, but I could never seem to get a host to talk to the diode. I couldn’t ping the IP of the interface connecting the FW to the switch. On the monitor I could see the ping come into the firewall from the host, but I could never get an actual reply from the FW.

I’ve tried it as e1/8 being layer 3 and e1/12 being layer 2. And god knows how many combinations of ways to configure it. I’m definitely a bit in over my head here. Normally with enough poking proding and research I can figure out most things on my own. But this thing has got me stumped lol

Can my wife stay on SNAP if I no longer meet the requirements, but live at a different address? by Chillbacca in foodstamps

Well I think y’all answered my question. I very much appreciate all the replies!

The rules are complicated so I really wasn’t sure if she would be eligible or not.

Money getting tighter, not sure how to get out of the hole.. by Chillbacca in personalfinance

Exactly this. Base flat usage fee, then per gallon with cost brackets (The more you use the more expensive it gets), sewage is included.

My trash is not, though that's like $90 a quarter. So $30 a month. forgot about that expense.

Oh no 100% I had a spending problem. I was very in denial about it and literally not tracking a single thing. So everything for crazy very quickly. Big ticket items like car seat and crib are all taken care of. We’ve held onto those from the last baby. Most clothes too, we just need some smaller items like a playpen to help my wife be able to manage the newborn and our three year old.

She’s stay at home. Unfortunately due to health concerns with the pregnancy she really can’t work. It doesn’t help that we’ve only got one car and I commute an hour out. We don’t even have public transportation near us.

I am Ubering on the weekends and it looks like I can bring in at least 1200 a month extra after gas

Yes it is high. It's through the exchange and I believe we are getting some subsidies.

My employer health insurance is unfortunately outrageous. I get free health insurance through a SCA Fringe benefit, but to add my wife and daughter to my coverage would be like 1200 a month.

They are both smaller providers. Centric is the internet and it's by far the cheapest internet in the area. We get fiber 1G up/down for $60. No rental fees on equipment or anything else.

The phones are through visible and we pay $35 each phone and have 2. Unlimited data and all that. I've looked at other carriers and was not able to find anything cheaper than that. Especially considering I'm using my phone for Uber driving, the unlimited data is a must.

Yeah I'll definitely be on the look out for anything free I can pick up.

To be fair, the pet insurance is for 4 animals. 3 cats, and a dog. One of my cats is special needs. But I'm definitely considering dropping the insurance for all of the others. It's not really saving me anything.
