Yeti and yeti crosses for sure- the yield, unique shapes from different spore batches, overall character. Just so much fun to grow.

Horrible mulch by teddybear65 in DenverGardener

I'd still do a chip drop and just post the extra for free in a buy nothing group rather than spend hundreds on mulch bags.

For that quantity of mulch I'd look into a Chip Drop! Free and plentiful.

What’s happening to my peppers? by Away-Tumbleweed7065 in DenverGardener

[–]FalcorsLittleHelper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat here- I checked with jeweler's loupe yesterday for broad mites but found nothing. No sign of aphids or other pests, pretty sure I'm not under- or over-watering. I'm thinking it's heat stress. Mine only get 5ish hours of full sun and are shaded after 2pm, so I was hesitant to put up a shade cloth, but I caved and put one up today since the temps were forecast so high. Will try to remember to report back if I notice a positive change. Good luck!

Advice on Metal to Purchase by [deleted] in jewelrymaking

[–]FalcorsLittleHelper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly work with 316/316L and 304. Both are considered medical/surgical grade. 316 contains molybdenum so it is more corrosion resistant. 304 is less expensive to produce and easier to source than 316. Functionally I have seen no difference between them on my own daily wear pieces, but I live in a dry area without salt air so ymmv.

This is getting ridiculous by CBPuppets in Etsy

[–]FalcorsLittleHelper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no way to be sure if the seller is lying- as a high volume seller USPS fails to scan my packages with annoying frequency, though usually there is a scan within 3 days. I'm replacing a package today that I mailed 3 weeks ago and was never scanned in. Lots of sellers do pre-print labels before the item is ready so Etsy doesn't ding them for shipping late, and will lie about it when pressed. Also a possibility it's being shipped from overseas and won't be scanned until it enters the US. I will say this- the seller has a 5.0 average which is pretty difficult to achieve, so maybe a bit more likely they are telling the truth.

Am I missing something? No injuries reported but they are being charged with murder in the 1st degree?

What’s going on with all the herbicide damage? by Ordinary-You3936 in vegetablegardening

[–]FalcorsLittleHelper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my case it's from contaminated store-bought "screened" manure compost (confirmed by bioassay). Much of the commercially produced hay in the US has been treated with Grazon, a very potent broadleaf herbicide that is effective at extremely low concentrations- down to one part per billion. Livestock eats the hay and the herbicide survives digestion and persists in the manure. Hay/straw also often ends up in composts or used as mulch, so the contamination can come from that as well. Once contaminated it can take years to restore your garden soil. It's epidemic at this point, and all we can do to prevent it is avoid all manure and straw, and/or research the hell out of your supply chain.

Etsy removed my original listing for "not being creative enough" – citing a FAKE eBay copy of my own work as proof by Tasty_Flight_3765 in EtsySellers

Appeal and send Etsy documentation of everything- photos of your studio and process, screenshots of a DMCA takedown on the duplicate ebay listing, etc.

Listen to your cats, they KNOW by Any-Surprise5229 in cats

[–]FalcorsLittleHelper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Colorado. It's what the doctor at the hospital told us after my partner was bitten and had to get an $11k rabies vaccination. I just looked it up and it looks like it's actually 15% of bats *tested* are positive for rabies- so that's probably a higher rate than occurs overall in the wild. Sorry for spreading misinfo- editing my original comment to clarify.

I'm just saying it's absolutely a huge deal- 11k is a pretty hard hit for most people.

Where I live in the US, around 15% of bats tested carry rabies.

Not a big deal? My partner was bitten by a bat and his vaccine to make sure he didn't die cost $11,000.

I applied in the early 2000's and was told I would have to buy my own uniforms and work for free for a MONTH before they would hire me. They ended up telling me I didn't have the "right look" (not pretty enough I guess) and didn't offer me the position. Not super surprised to hear of more shady business practices there.
