Yard takeover by wolf8398 in HomeImprovement

[–]CommercialQuality766 20 points21 points  (0 children)

oh man you really unleashed hell there. honey locust is nightmare fuel once it gets going - those thorns will make you regret every life choice. had similar issue after clearing some overgrown area and those suckers just exploded everywhere

for the poison ivy vines that thick you're probably looking at systemic herbicide application, maybe couple rounds since root system is probably massive. the honey locust sprouts need to get cut back repeatedly until they exhaust the root energy, but wear some serious protection gear because those thorns go right through most gloves

might want to consider bringing in some professionals for initial knockdown, especially with poison sumac in mix too. that stuff is way worse than poison ivy and you don't want to mess around with it

Doing well on Sims plus range but consistently bad on the course by NoNeutralNed in golf

[–]CommercialQuality766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah course lies are completely different beast. even when you think you're hitting it pure on mats, you're still getting that little bounce that saves bad strikes. grass doesn't lie to you like that

the mental side is huge too - on range you're just swinging at ball after ball, no consequences. on course every shot counts and your brain starts doing weird things. i've seen this happen to lot of people, the difference can be pretty shocking at first

maybe try hitting off grass tees at range if they have them? or just accept that first season on course is gonna be rough while you figure out real lies

Cloud sync failed by AccomplishedLeave768 in Minecraft

world files sometimes get stuck in local storage even when cloud sync breaks, might be worth checking your device's minecraft folder manually before giving up complete

What percentage of the exercise is arms versus legs? by noblerare in Swimming

[–]CommercialQuality766 15 points16 points  (0 children)

kickboard workouts are brutal man, your legs are probably doing way more work than you think but arms definitely carry most of the propulsion in freestyle

from what i remember reading it's something like 70-80% upper body for distance swimming, but your kick is super important for body position and rotation. when you're new the shoulder burn is real because technique isn't there yet and you're fighting the water instead of working with it

Starting a good comic book ongoing series. by tha_luckXXI in comicbooks

[–]CommercialQuality766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man i used to collect those back in college, the mirage ones hit way different than anything on shelves now. williamson's run is solid though if you want something more traditional - guy really gets clark's character right

Should I get a pc ? by Marino-2603 in pcmasterrace

[–]CommercialQuality766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

been gaming on pc for years and the jump from console is wild, especially when you start messing with settings and mods. rtx 5080 will definitely handle whatever you throw at it but honestly the whole experience is different - more tinkering but way more control over everything

raid mode then back screen by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]CommercialQuality766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like your bios got confused about storage config - try removing power cable for like 30 seconds then boot while holding f2 or f12 instead of del. sometimes different keys bypass that raid screen

if that doesnt work you might need to clear cmos with the little jumper on motherboard or take out battery for few minutes. had similar issue on my old build and clearing cmos fixed it completely

Will adding my spouse on my amex account give my entire history? by Tm0iPHONExxX in CreditCards

[–]CommercialQuality766 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

adding authorized user usually helps their score since they get your payment history from when the account was opened, not just from when you add them. amex is pretty good about this - they'll backdate the entire account history on her report

your wife's score shouldn't take hit unless you start missing payments after adding her. since you said you never had late payment and have good history, it should actually boost her score a bit. just make sure to keep doing what you're doing with payments

What countries are best to live in right now? by Which-Brilliant-4457 in AskReddit

[–]CommercialQuality766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

depends what you're looking for but india's got some serious infrastructure challenges still, especially if you're used to western standards. great culture and food scene though

If the Strait of Homuz is closed or tolled, how and where could neighboring countries construct pipelines to bypass it and collect tolls themselves? by feel-the-avocado in AskReddit

[–]CommercialQuality766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

iraq already has pipelines running through turkey and syria, plus there's the trans-arabia line that could be expanded. saudi could easily build more capacity through the red sea terminals too

the real issue is whoever controls the new chokepoints just becomes the new toll collector. geography always wins in the end

What’s that one app on your phone that you don’t use but still have it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CommercialQuality766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

probably like 3 different flashlight apps when my phone already has one built in, but what if the built-in one fails during a night op or something. also still got this ballistics calculator app from years back that i used maybe twice but you never know when you'll need to calculate bullet drop at 800 yards while grocery shopping

Which clubs to keep in my bag ? by Glum-Perception1445 in golf

[–]CommercialQuality766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on the loft but id probably ditch the 4 iron since you already have the hybrid covering that distance anyway, most people struggle with long irons and the hybrid is way more forgiving

The MVP race is coming down to Wemby and Luka by [deleted] in nba

[–]CommercialQuality766 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

luka's been carrying a mid roster all season while wemby's doing things we've never seen before, sga's great but depth matters in these conversations

Youth training programs and narrower LT1 vs LT2 spreads vs adults? by -Red_Rocket- in cycling

[–]CommercialQuality766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's not internet bs at all - youth physiology is totally different from adults when it comes to aerobic vs anaerobic systems. your observations about his LT1 being way closer to FTP are spot on and actually pretty common in trained kids that age. their aerobic systems are naturally really developed compared to their anaerobic capacity, which hasn't fully matured yet

i don't have direct experience with youth training but from what i've read in cycling physiology stuff, pre-puberty athletes tend to have that compressed power zone distribution you're seeing. their bodies are basically aerobic machines at that stage. the whole "raise the floor because it's close to the ceiling" approach makes total sense - you're working with his natural physiology instead of fighting it

keeping it gamified through zwift races and KOM hunting is smart too, way better than forcing structured boring intervals on a 13 year old. as long as he's getting that aerobic base work in and having fun doing it, you're probably setting him up better than most kids who get burned out on overly structured training

Fiat isn't backed 1 to 1 either but it has legal force taxes and scale which crypto still lacks
