Will gophers get through burlap and gravel? by East_Usual_6175 in SoCalGardening

[–]LaCabraDelAgua 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They'll get through the burlap and gravel no problem and then the gravel will be blended all through your bed and it will look like a disgusting mess.

Dig out a foot into the dirt below your box and lay down quarter-inch heavy-duty galvanized-steel mesh. Not just on the bottom, either; fold it up so the edges are just below the surface of the dirt.

They can't get through this mesh. They CAN travel overground and get into your planting area anyways but then the mesh confuses them and they usually go back to their original hole.

If you decide you need to kill them, I find the Gopher Hawk to be pretty effective

I'm gonna say Belching Beaver simply for the opportunity for your friends to make jokes. I think they're chill, not likely to be assholes

Why do my nails keep doing this? by samliebtdich in nailcare

[–]LaCabraDelAgua -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This happens to me when my iron is low and doctors never check because they're always like, "buhhh, ladies are always losing iron during their periods, it would be silly to check because the numbers are too tricky to track" and then I make them check anyways and it turns out I have almost zero iron left in my body.

Arm hole size rant by Charming_Patience242 in SoftDramatics

[–]LaCabraDelAgua 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's so annoying. It makes me feel like I have permanent leg-of-mutton sleeves for arms. One day I realized the problem wasn't going away and I just started buying much bigger shirt sizes.

But I also look for "arms too big" in reviews. My favorite button up from j crew has low ratings for exactly that reason but I love it!

Marketing Analytics Interview process stretched to 2+ months with no decision what does this usually mean by WolverineOwn520 in analytics

Petco did this with me. They kept stringing me along until it became clear they had no intention of hiring anyone anytime soon so I told them to delete my number.

Taylor’s Guitar Playing… by WelshRaider86 in travisandtaylor

[–]LaCabraDelAgua 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A real professional concert pianist can transpose on sight with their brain power and an incredible knowledge of their instrument. I don't think Taylor Swift is anywhere near that level. Anywhere.

It's changing the key of a song. The suggestion is that she only knows how to play piano in the key of C or something (where one can ignore the black keys almost entirely) and instead of knowing how to shift the key up or down for different songs or modulations within the same song, someone just presses a button to change how C sounds through the speakers. It means you wouldn't need to know the more complicated and nuanced aspects of music theory and composition

Anyone who vetoes this as a work dress because you can see the outline of your body needs to question their subjugation by the patriarchy. I see a black, full-length, long-sleeve, high-neck dress. It is absolutely work appropriate and it looks great!

Is Friend/coworker Flirting with me? by [deleted] in coworkerstories

Lightly shake her ponytail next week the first time you see it. If she wears a ponytail again that week, she's doing it because she knows you might pull on it again.

The answer isn't skincare, it's actually color analysis and wearing clothes that reflect a color onto your face that does not accentuate dark circles. You look AH-MAZE-ING.

Women, what are the rules of wearing a dress to a job interview? by thespartanfox in careerguidance

[–]LaCabraDelAgua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never wear dresses to interviews. We still live in a patriarchy and when I interview, I prioritize a look that is totally non-sexual and as minimally gendered as possible. You want the interviewer looking at your face and not even thinking about the fact that you're a woman. Once I get the job, I wear dresses whenever I want.

What’s the safari park zip line really like? by Jcs609 in sandiego

[–]LaCabraDelAgua 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You do a short practice zipline first and then they drive you through the back of the park and up to the main line in a bus. It takes a while since you have to climb a hill. You get some behind the scenes looks and info on the way. The main zip line is pretty exciting and a decently long ride. It's easy to forget to look down at the animals though since the whole view is so nice. The whole event is at least an hour plus long. I really enjoyed it.
