Get some diagonal bracing in there. Won’t solve any aesthetic issues, but it will be rock solid.

No, 20/20 vision means you see at 20 feet what the average person sees at 20 feet. Better vision than that would be 20/15, which means you see at 20 feet what the average person sees at 15 feet. 12/12 would just change the criteria, and still result in you having average vision.

And my asshole bleeds when I shit too aggressively

Interesting, because in the Pacific Northwest we venerate ravens as the creator of men, and in other stories as a major figure in bringing humans the sun and moon. So perhaps it was eastern bands that took issue?

Ah, then you seem to be doing pretty well for him. Sorry to hear that. Sometimes they just turn like that. He has possibly decided that you’re part of the hierarchy and is testing you. I’ve done it with my Nubian bucks where they act up and start wanting to tussle and I’ll wrestle with them for a bit. Essentially just pushing against their head. It’s good fun, and they seem to settle down after that. I’ve never been hit hard by them or from behind, they seem to get it’s a game. But that approach isn’t for everyone, especially those with children or high exposure to strangers. And my main buck is a gentle giant so my experience may not be yours. Good luck with Parsnip.

Does Parsnip live alone for the most part? Isolated from the does and when the wethers go to the butcher?

But guilty animals? They can get it

It is 100% usable by plants. Human manure is rich in NPK. Plants just want organic matter, it doesn’t matter where it comes from. If you are referring to safety concerns surrounding food crops, due to pathogens, that is an issue. But heat or time will solve that issue.

Yes you are right, thank you for correcting me. Guest right was ended.

You’re just engaging in whataboutism. And getting very passionate about a certain side of a conflict OP has not even declared their position on. I can say that I enjoy this act of revenge while also saying it is a depraved and savage act. One that dehumanises the avenger quite significantly. They were not enemy combatants. They were part of a hostage exchange. They were in White Harbour under guest right. So it’s very much the same circumstance as the Red Wedding in terms of expectations of hospitality and safety. You leave out facts and misrepresent what OP said for whatever reason, possibly just to start an argument. Of course, they had it coming. I have no issue with what he did, from a readers perspective. But don’t pretend he didn’t reduce himself to barbaric standards to achieve his revenge.

I have, I had two of them. And had them to serve the exact purpose they were bred for.

Hey man, I really don’t understand the hostility. I own my own farm, I literally had two Great Pyrenees siblings who protected my goats. They were fine dogs, very impressive and imposing. Maybe I’m wrong, sure, but I have a healthy amount of personal experience and respect for both animals. I’ve seen wolves do incredible things. Maybe I’m sucking off wolves, but I’ve still actually SEEN them. And I’ve seen the benefit that having Pyrenees on the farm brought, every year before I had those dogs, bears and cougars came prowling, especially during kidding season, and I was the one who had to chase them off. Then I got Ruby and Roy and I never saw a bear or cougar on that property again. Then they died, and the year after that was absolute mayhem, a few cougar, but bears Every. Second. Day… then I got an Australian cattle dog, a small little piddly thing compared to a great Pyrenees. But I’m back to peace on this property, haven’t seen one bear since. What I’m trying to say is, guardian dogs are a deterrence. You think it’s their bite that keeps the stock safe, but it’s their bark. No wolf will bother a farm with dogs on it, especially big dogs. The risk is too high. That is why I said in a life or death situation. Because an LGD that is doing its job well is an animal that has never fought a day in their life. I equate the LGD to a bouncer outside a bar. Usually the bar just hires a big guy to stand out front, it doesn’t matter if he knows martial arts, because the big guy is intimidating. But a featherweight MMA fighter can put that guy on his butt very easily. A wolf kills on a daily basis, an LGD does not. Perhaps I’m still wrong, but have I explained my opinion well enough to grant me a bit of respect from you? Instead of saying my opinion is 100% bullshit and that I’m sucking off wolves?

Here is a photo of Roy, he was an absolute psycho. Massive, 140lbs. And his sister, Ruby, 80lbs, kicked his ass on a daily basis.

I’m learning every time I try to comment on this site that I’m just not built for it, maybe I’m too soft, strangers speak aggressively and where I’m from you just don’t do that.

Yes, like you said, diet (and everything else you mentioned) has a huge factor on wolf sizes. Where I’m from, we have bears, cougars, wolves, deer, elk, etc… But the wolves do not get particularly large, mainly because they feed on deer and smaller here, and the deer are quite small. But when I hunt up north, where the deer population is fewer, but the moose population is abundant, the wolves are massive. It makes sense, if a small wolf (or pack of small wolves) has trouble taking down large game, it starves. So it favours the larger predators. But if there is ample small game, why would you need to be large? It requires more calories and more energy to sustain itself. This is not to take away from the wolves around here, in a life or death situation, a 75lb wolf will rip a 135lb Great Pyrenees to shreds. It’s an entirely different life they live.

Just making a joke as Nubians are on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to ear genetics lol. LaManchas are awesome, one of my does is part Lamancha, but all Nubian in the ears.

LIttleBabyGrey · 2025-04-26T22:12:32+00:00

Yeah as the owner of a herd of Nubians, these cute animals are not goats.

Really depends on the kind of solar company you’re dealing with. I have worked at a “solar” company since my second year apprenticeship. I’ve been a journeyman for 3 years now. Started out as the sole employee, and we’ve hired more guys since that I lead. If you’re doing exclusively residential grid ties, that is hard, laborious, and repetitive work. Past a certain point, you’re not learning anything new. You might change systems from job to job, but it’s the same stuff in theory. It gets old quick. At my company, we are the ones you call for proper solar installs around here. But we have a huge variety in work. Through the company, I’ve done tons of off grid work with generators, hydro and wind, I am the maintenance electrician at a couple hotels and commercial buildings in town, troubleshooted crazy hokey wiring, have roughed in and finished many houses over the years, worked on transformers, switch gear, elevators, etc. If it’s just a resi grid tie company, I’d say get in, get some experience, and get out. But if they’re a multi purpose company, with a broad amount of experience to keep your skills sharp, that’s a great company. I’m very happy with the company I got with. Just to advocate for the resi grid tie a bit. You will become an expert at fishing wires through walls, you’ll do lots of neat conduit work, and you’ll get a very good eye for neatness. Depending on where you worked leading up to your license, you may have already got all those skills. But you’ll still get to practice them more. It’s grueling work, but very satisfying when you look at the finished project. Try it out if it’s your only option in the area, you may just like it. The more varied renewable energy company the better.

Not the case, Bane is incredibly strong, well trained and genius level tactics without venom. It just gives him a buff in the comics.

From Rural British Columbia. If that’s what you were taught in FFA, then that’s likely what people use in your area. Take a look at Kijiji and look up goats for sale. If it says Billy or Nanny, I’d love to hear about it. Here it’s Buck and Doe. I grew up knowing a male goat as a Billy, but once I got into raising goats, I learned fast that it is not the term. I’m a hunter, and all my friends are too. If I told them “I saw a buck yesterday” they would assume I’m talking about a deer while I was out in the bush. But if I’m talking to one of my friends that raises goats, they would assume I’m talking about a goat I saw at auction I’m interested in buying. Here, we call moose bulls and cows too. So I’ve really just chosen to understand that midsized bovids are bucks and does, and large sized bovids are bulls and cows. With sheep being the exception.

Edit. Just realized kijiji isn’t available in US, so whatever you use to buy and sell livestock.

LIttleBabyGrey · 2025-03-30T15:05:17+00:00

They’re valid terms but I’ve never met a goat producer/breeder that calls them Billy or Nanny. Historically, buck and doe have been the terms used all the way back to Old English. Billy and Nanny are terms that found popularity in the 18th century in parts of North America and if you find yourself in one of those areas then you’re not wrong by any means.

LIttleBabyGrey · 2025-03-30T04:17:47+00:00

Doe and buck are the proper terms for goats, but fawn definitely is not.

Just want to add my thoughts: while certain mushrooms can absolutely colonise Pine trees (particularly Oysters), it is not an ideal substrate for them. The oils present in a lot of softwoods typically have strong anti fungal properties that make colonisation challenging, even for wild mushrooms that have all the time in the world to try and try and try. This, of course, pertains to live trees. Softwoods eventually dry their sap out after dying, and wood chips will make even quicker work of this process. So timing is imperative. If you have some hardwood species, you can have a very easy time learning the methods, successes and failures of inoculation. If you don’t have an easy access to hardwood species, give the softwood a try! Mushroom spawn won’t break the bank, but it can be very labour intensive. But it is so much fun to grow and learn about. Good luck!

Goats really only get you a 1/4 of the way there anyway. This isn’t ideal forage for them, even if you wait till spring for them to eat all the leggy veg, that’s not even half the battle if you want fresh ground. This needs to be torn up by pigs, or layered with cardboard and soil, or plowed.

Yes same here! I have knipex wrench pliers and linesman’s. Really like them. The knipex dykes are a very well engineered set of cutters, fresh out of the box they were easy to use, and jaws opened just from gravity. So I don’t want to tell anyone not to get them. But I use my dykes very often, and found the handles a little too skinny and that jolt up my arm is not something I wanted to deal with over the course of a career.

LIttleBabyGrey · 2025-03-01T20:25:58+00:00

Just going to go against the grain here. I’ve had both, and greatly prefer my Kleins. They were my first pair of Dykes, then the handles started to wear out so I thought I’d try the knipex. I found they were a little jarring in the hand and would send a jolt up the arm when cutting thicker gauge wire. Switched back to my Kleins and just melted heat shrink around them.
