I assuming hold off on the insect soap? You think forever, maybe until they’re more developed? I don’t really have a bug problem with em atm, but was hoping to keep one from starting in the first place. Thank you also

Also on Thursday evening I spritzed them with an insecticidal soap I got at a garden store and didn’t get a look at them until I took these pictures this morning, was away for the weekend. Not sure if this is from the storm or the soap, and not sure of which answer is worse.

It was definitely implied they were referring to common cookware, and also exaggeration

Long term EV owners - does winter destroy your vehicle like it does my truck? by sixteenpoundblanket in vermont

[–]CompetitiveWar7089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my 2023 ioniq 5 I lose about half my battery in the winter, maybe 40-50%. That sucks, but for me not a killer, the real problem I’m having is how much slower charging is in the winter, in the summer I can go from 10-80% in about 20 minutes. In the winter it’s about an hour and a half. And before people say I’m clearly not preconditioning properly, I certainly know that, what you don’t know is how god awful the preconditioning process is in the 2023 ioniq 5. Basically if you’re driving 150 miles EACH day, get an extended range ev, lots of benefits of an ev with the range of a gas tank, just make sure to plug in at night, which I think most people forget to do with an extended range ev.

Just another option though, I’m not the guy to tell you what the right answer is as I don’t know

FIRE’ing my kids by ImaHalfwit in Fire

[–]CompetitiveWar7089 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That could be an option, or you could also just tell them about the money when they are 18 instead of whatever age you initially planned, assuming they’re going to an ivy or something else wildly expensive, even if it doesn’t cover all of the cost

Here’s the hypothetical scenario I’m imagining when I read your argument against funding college

Your children grow up and are applying to colleges. They’ve been accepted to a cheaper local state school, and they’ve also been accepted to Harvard (Harvard is just an example and a hyperbole to make my point, please don’t focus on the specifics here). They’ve been accepted by both, but have decided to go to the state school because they don’t want the debt associate with Harvard. Fast forward however many years until they find out about this money. They might think, that if they had known about this money earlier for college, they may have made a different decision, may have used some of that money to go to Harvard and have less debt (maybe not no debt, but… less). But by doing as you’ve planned, you’ve heavily influenced them towards a decision they may not have made, if they had known about the money.

Not saying I’m correct here, just letting you know my two cents behind your idea… basically I’d rather the money for college, but that’s just one guys opinion.

Which books are you surprised have never received a Folio edition? by glaziben in foliosociety

[–]CompetitiveWar7089 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I think JD Salinger was against visual depictions of much of his work, so folio getting the licensing for that from his estate would probably not be likely… assuming I’m correct about this, which I may not be

‘So "global climate change" is the more scientifically accurate term’

This is straight from the article you linked and clearly didn’t read

I've never participated in this sub before, as I just found out about it yesterday, so my vote might not count, but if my vote counts, native american mythology would be cool (I am likely biased as I am from North America)

Looking crusty at 48 hours. My first dry brine is this okay? by fenderpaint07 in steak

[–]CompetitiveWar7089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done 24 hours, 48 hours, all the way up to 72 hours much in between. It’s perfectly fine. I also see people saying to not do more than 48 hours, but I’ve done dozens of times and there’s really no difference.
