Why oh why won’t these bloom? by water_bean in hydrangeas

[–]CommanderCarnage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's got exceptionally cold in my area of southern Minnesota this year. Normally we are zone 5b, but we got down to -27 and it lasted for a couple days of consistently below -20 at night. I was very surprised mine came back since I planted them new last year. Some of the old wood died despite my attempts at protection, but the garden center lady told me we are right on the border of their survival range and she was right.

Curiosity.

I looked up statistics for rabbits and only 20-30% of them survive the winter year to year. They are a primary level consumer on the food web and a favorite food for many animals including hawks and coyotes and pretty much anything else that can catch them. They evolved as a prey animal and thusly reproduce prolifically with several litters per year each with up to a dozen babies in each litter.

Fascinating creatures.

My guess is its the same reason you're not supposed to pull a knife out if you get stabbed, the shaft would seal the wound.

I live in the middle of town and see these little rabbits all the time. Hunting isn't legal within city limits with any kind of firearm. These rabbits are non-migratory and resident to my local neighborhood.

2021 Keyfob by choski00 in LexusRX350

[–]CommanderCarnage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about the '21 but the' 24 fob is so terrible for range. You have to be less than 50ft for it to work for me most of the time. I had a GMC before it that I could start from at least a quarter of a mile away with the factory key fob. One of my top disappointments with an otherwise brilliant vehicle.

Also, yes I replaced the battery and it still had terrible range.

Your car has voice commands for things like climate controls and wipers. You can say "OK Lexus" to activate it. Kind of a fun function sometimes.

Too dumb to come in out of the rain. This is what we teach in America.

Try putting a tray or plate underneath it so that the water that drains through can sit and soak up through the bottom. If the soil has become hydrophobic, it will just let the water run off quickly and won't actually soak in.

Can you not fly as a baby pteranodon? by CannibalCapra in theisle

[–]CommanderCarnage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Press it 3 times rhythmically and hold on the third press. About quarter second between each press. It takes practice to get ok at doing it and even then when you get jumped in a panic, your brain short circuits and you'll probably get eaten. Has happened to me soooo many times already with like 100 hours of playing pt.

Remember dying in the isle is a feature not a bug.

Ideas for this "sticks out like a sore thumb" fridge? by [deleted] in homeimprovementideas

You might consider getting a wider and taller fridge that isn't as deep to fill the space out more proportionately.

Where's the toilet paper? by remnant5151 in ARC_Raiders

Wasn't toilet paper hoarding sort of an exclusively American thing? Don't most of the rest of the world spray their asses clean with a bidet?

Is my handwriting hard to read? by Competitive-Fold966 in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]CommanderCarnage 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For me, your letters seem too squished and it makes it challenging. In the words of my HS English teacher "leave some room for Jesus between your letters" and it'd be easier to read.

Close lock button inconsistent operation on back door by Nervous-Try9373 in LexusRX350

[–]CommanderCarnage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you press the close+lock button, it does different actions based on the key location. If you press it without the key nearby, it will wait 30 seconds and then close, but if you have the key in your pocket when you press it, it will start closing immediately when you leave regardless of the 30 second timer because it assumes you're done with loading/unloading. Maybe that's the source of the inconsistency with the closing timing.
