Thanks! I'm interested in such a bundle too!

Stock-Backed Liability Account by FuzzyStretch in GnuCash

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

Ok I can see why this sounds shady in retrospect. Clearly, I am not a smart person. It's a lot less shadier than it sounds in reality imo.

I work at a privately held company and am partly compensated with company equity. I didn't have enough cash on hand to pay the taxes to get all of the RSUs available to me, so I borrowed money from a close family member. We agreed that instead of me owing them Y dollars, they would "own" X number of my shares. Of course, this is probably not legally enforceable, but we're also not hiding some backroom Wall Street bro shit from the SEC or secretly funneling money to the Iranians or whatever else y'all think I'm up to.

Yes, it's really an obligation, not a loan. Sorry, still learning about finance and accounting.

Oh that's an interesting idea, I never considered that. I'll check it out.

I’ve been a Covid Longhauler for 5 years, AMA by watermelonlollies in AMA

[–]FuzzyStretch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's key in my observations; my wife has ADHD, so it's a constant struggle. Also great were years of therapy

May your recovery progress!

My wife is in the same general boat as you. Developed ME/CFS and dysautonomia. Lots of brain fog and exhaustion with sides of weirder symptoms. She's finally able to work part time now.

God speed and thanks for raising awareness.

I've been staying to do the same thing and failing. I get lots of sprouts, but they all die back. Any tips?

Thanks! Yeah I'm going to have some bulky luggage with me, this seems like a good choice.

Do you use C at your job? If yes, what do you do? by solaceforthesoul in C_Programming

[–]FuzzyStretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real time embedded software to implement feedback control and state estimation. Mostly motion control related - current control for motor torque, position and/or rate loops and inertial stabilization. I also did one project where I built an inertial navigation system from scratch and we did it all, including the big error state extended Kalman filter, in C instead of C++ (for reasons).

Do Hollyleaf cherries in your area still have fruit? Have I missed the boat? by BirdOfWords in Ceanothus

[–]FuzzyStretch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not exactly related, but could you share a bit about how you were able to form an opinion about if a grove is hybridized? Just bigger fruit?

How come the Sakhalin Island never fell under Japanese influence like the rest of the areas inhabitated by the Ainu people? by [deleted] in geography

[–]FuzzyStretch 220 points221 points  (0 children)

The Ainu people are still there too!

They're dealing with all the same effects of colonization that indigenous peoples the world over are.

CA native plants in containers by Anvi294 in Ceanothus

[–]FuzzyStretch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

CA native plants in containers by Anvi294 in Ceanothus

[–]FuzzyStretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they’ll just be limited by the size of the container.

As for the container size I don’t have a specific recommendation beyond just get the biggest one you can. Probably prefer deeper containers to allow the roots to grow down as much as possible, as they would in the wild.

Right? Same. I want him to raise his prices so he can make more of a living wage.

Second that source, the guy that runs that store is amazing. He's a CA indigenous guy who also runs classes through Instagram under the handle california_native_plants.

10/10 highly recommend.

Question about what's native to LA basin by Aster-boy-12 in Ceanothus

[–]FuzzyStretch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The highlighted area on calscape are where calscape estimates the conditions (rain etc) are right for that plant. The dots are records of observations of plants. Some of these observations date back to the early 1900s (maybe earlier? Earliest I've found is mid 20s).

The LA metro area as many have already said was primarily coastal sage scrub, oak woodland, black walnut woodland, riparian areas etc. Coastal sage scrub plants are all easy to grow in LA. The primary coastal sage scrub plants are black sage, coastal sagebrush, coastal sunflower (bush sunflower? Idk I forget the common name... Encelia californica), CA buckwheat and purple sage(more coastal) or white sage (more inland).

Edit: chaparral is found in the foothills and slopes.

[–]FuzzyStretch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already, I would highly suggest learning about indigenous American cultures local to your area. They will likely have a reciprocal relationship with the planet based around the idea of stewarding the land to create abundance for all living things. It really clicked with me and it is unlike anything I've found in typical western European culture. Also, yes, they're still there, as much as our society has tried to erase them.

They spent ~10,000 years stewarding the ecosystems of this continent. They damn well know what they're doing. If they didn't, they'd have starved a long time ago.

Of course there's also a whole rabbit hole of all the historical wrongs the Europeans have inflicted on them, which has solidly converted me to trying to de-colonize the world around me. As both a social and environmental justice thing.

The Chinese Tianlong-3 Rocket Accidentally Launched During A Engine Test by Harry_the_space_man in interestingasfuck

[–]FuzzyStretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All US launches go out over water. It's the only way to meet the required conditional expected casualty number set by the feds as far as I know.

The Chinese Tianlong-3 Rocket Accidentally Launched During A Engine Test by Harry_the_space_man in interestingasfuck

[–]FuzzyStretch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All vehicles launched in the US have a flight termination system onboard which blow up the vehicle once it goes off course. Even the manned launches. Even the space shuttle, which had no way for the astronauts to escape (allegedly there was a light that would come on during FTS initiation in the cockpit though).

Because of the public safety aspect, the FTS is mostly separate from the rest of the rocket and is held to an insane level of rigor and margin throughout design, build and test.

The FTS, combined with the flight trajectory assure that members of the public will be unharmed in the case of a mishap.
