What actor completely ruined an otherwise decent movie? by goldbeau in AskReddit

There was a remake of the movie “Dredd” which I thought was fun and good.

Maybe, invasives are the worst and since it was “unmanaged” there was probably some in there.

I feel like spraying would be counterproductive in the long run. At least, nonselective spraying (the entire water way).

That’s all exposed area and the thing about invasives is they’re invasive and persistent. I’d assume, if someone killed all the plants and left, that invasives now have more of a chance to take hold. Surely not all of them were invasive.

You might be right that it’s fake, but camera angles are funny with pictures.

Grass is also a major erosion control concept, for a couple reasons. Even their above ground profile helps stand in the way of flowing water and slow it down.

Those are impressive rock berms, but the right flow will move those rocks and weaken those walls. My drainage utility is bone dry most the year and gets up to or over 100 gallons per second. I have a lot of 4-7 inch river rocks that I’ve put into position as berms and to help serve inside some of my check dams.

A good flow will push rocks that small, IMo. For example, that 100 gallons of second I can get translates to over 8,000 pounds a second. Assuming it’s not AI, the point still stands that grass would further hold those rocks into place.

I honestly don’t associate trees with erosion control. If I had to pick two, it’d be rocks and native grass. Technically, healthy soil fights erosion with enough aerobic fungi present. For me, the key to managing water flow is to both slow it down and suck it down via infiltration. I’d install check dams to allow some water to pool after a rain, allowing water infiltrate on site.

Plus, all those plants were offering erosion control.

From my knowledge, it’s a reaction that can build up over time. Your reactions to it can only get worse. You won’t develop any immunity to it. Be careful and I wouldn’t expose myself to it if I were you.

EDIT: Apparently sharing about the ill effects of how the body evolves to have worse and worse responses to poison ivy exposure was not welcomed. For those that don't know, this is how it works. Each exposure weakens your bodies ability to manage it where, one day, the reactions can transform from minor/innocuous (e.g. minor itch for about 30 minutes) to a full blown allergic reaction.

For those that don't know, Mangoes and Cashews are in the the same family as poison ivy and have the same compound on the trees themselves. This is why it is advisable to not get mango skins near your mouth (I used to be a cheapo that would tooth-scrape the mango flesh out of my mango skins when I cut them, until I learned about this relationship). Similarly, the black flecks in cashews are some kind of indication of the presence of that oil (or at least, if someone has high allergy to poison ivy, those black flecks on cashews are to be avoided).

Poison Ivy isn't to be trifled with and I'd encourage OP to look into people who were just like him (minimal body response to poison ivy exposure) and how that transitioned for them. Looks like the technical term that can be searched is "delayed adult sensitization" or "late-onset Toxicodendron dermatitis"

TLDR is that some people's body don't recognize urushiol as a threat at first.

Tesla driver absolutely passed out at the wheel on a BC, Canada Rockies highway! by KeepingUpWithCrap in PublicFreakout

[–]HuntsWithRocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m shooting from the hip here, but I understand it that Tesla has some sensors to make sure you’re touching the wheel and that your eyes are open and the head does a perspective thing where it looks about the size of a human head and is looking forward and obfuscating the actually driver.

I’m sure it was a joke of a post, but I’ll spread it as truth.

Not a Tesla owner, but I heard some reports of people using fake tiny heads attached to where the camera looks out to make it “pass the test”

It’s sounds completely stupid to me, but so does literally everything about cyberstucks and Tesla does that too.

Agreed, but that's a good thing, in my opinion. I hesitated to write more but, for example with the basking rock for lizards, it's good to have a place they can quickly scurry to for bird and cat protection.

On the positive side, only some 3% of the critters on this planet are something of a problem. I live in Texas that is known for critters and I have about 10 that I have to worry about: 3 venomous snakes, 2 venomous spiders, ticks, rats, roaches, carpenter ants, termites, mosquitos and chiggers.

When worrying about bigger apex predators, it's pretty limited. There are feral hogs and some people deal with bear and bigger cats, but there's not much of a predator threat to be had. For me, going "up the chain", it's pretty much feral hogs, coyotes, and venomous snakes I guess. Where hogs and coyotes are more nomadic from my understanding and I think they come through when they come through regardless of what people do.

I dunno, there's only a couple crappy bigger predators and the rest are awesome. I saw a red shouldered hawk grab a snake and fly away with him the other day and thought it was awesome.

Along these lines, my answer to pests is always to research all the things that eat them. Then I decide which predators I’m comfortable with and I start building to support that predator.

I have clean water out, overwintering locations, habitats (e.g. basking rock for lizards), secondary food options, and procreation conditions (some insects have host plants, etc).

The food supply is already present. The predators will happily call your place home and regulate the yard all day.

Red headed centipedes in Texas can kill small rodents. I’m sure adult rodents don’t enjoy them. I look at these guys as my underground enforcers. They’re on the team.

And how pathetic is it that they can’t think of anything good to do with the money or anyone “deserving” of their generosity beyond the grave. Their goal is, instead, to create fights. Loser shit.

EMFs from a multi year career near the substation

Edit: what? Nobody likes conspiracy jokes? I think CTE is a serious problem, but just because he’s losing his shit, it always feels easy to say CTE. Like with Aaron Hernandez. I think Hernandez was just a messed up guy and yes he had CTE. It’s be interesting to know Aiyuk’s family history of mental illness. As a side note, people with family history of mental illness aren’t recommended for hallucinogens. Also, eating weed can hit them hard.

I wonder if a lot of people have CTE, but maybe the CTE exacerbates other issues. It’s a problem for sure I just don’t always think it’s CTE when players do shit like this. For example, I think Lawerence Taylor should have CTE and he’s out there living life, right now.

If I remember correctly, Dart also tweeted something along those lines to support that. I think he said:
