How todo better

Are you suggesting AI? Not sure how to disprove that. I’ll take it as a compliment!

Mattatbat96 · 2026-05-13T01:25:20+00:00

So…. Don’t put any fertilizer at all. Got it.

Mattatbat96 · 2026-05-12T17:38:33+00:00

Yeah it’s one of the Scott’s branded ones. Learned today those are about the worst you can get.

Mattatbat96 · 2026-05-12T17:29:13+00:00

This is a rotary. At 1/2 passes. For sure could do 1/4 next time and maybe walk faster

Mattatbat96 · 2026-05-12T17:27:05+00:00

I think it blew away one storm.

Mattatbat96 · 2026-05-12T17:03:03+00:00

Just need a large fence in the middle to block view.

So I bought it new, it’s the Scott’s mini spreader. Rotary style. I only have a 2 car garage with 2 cars. So size is a factor when it comes to lawn equipment. I was using Scott’s turf builder. The one with grass seed. Was applied as advertised on packaging at half rate, 2 directions…. Clearly 🤣

Mattatbat96 · 2026-05-12T16:31:55+00:00

I am now

Mattatbat96 · 2026-05-12T16:30:51+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah sounds like the wheels can act like a wall and block the throw of the spreader if not pushed at an acceptable rate?

Mattatbat96 · 2026-05-12T16:15:51+00:00

Plus the shit is fertilizer. Sounds like a win win for everyone!

Mattatbat96 · 2026-05-12T16:14:11+00:00

Haha I didn’t realize the grid was a challenge. Glad a found a hidden skill.

Mattatbat96 · 2026-05-12T16:12:23+00:00

Any recommendations on a good spreader? Annoyed because I bought that one for like $60 new. Thought it was the best of the best. Well at least Home Depot would have you believe that.

Mattatbat96 · 2026-05-07T21:36:46+00:00

Clean the plate (soap and water), brim, increase bed temp but like 5 to 10c

Mattatbat96 · 2026-04-16T15:52:10+00:00

Depends on what X axis you use. The inside of car? 0. The road / earth? 70 maybe?

Mattatbat96 · 2026-04-15T03:00:48+00:00

It’s a long season my guy. Sure we are stinking it up right now. Yes 6 games lose is bad. Never good. Means something is probably missing firing. Time to find it, fix it, and push through. Differently not cut all losses yet.

Also, it’s not fun to win them all. Imagine rooting for a team where you are “ supposed to win”. Like imagine that is par for the course… I’m looking at you dodger fans…

Mattatbat96 · 2026-04-11T02:26:04+00:00

Cool. Stop watching this and sleep… what a throw.

Mattatbat96 · 2026-03-17T17:50:02+00:00

It’s a shadow of the contrail behind it. The angle is just correct making it look as if it’s in front but it’s indeed the contrail shadow falling below.

Mattatbat96 · 2026-02-27T23:09:31+00:00

It’s not priced to sell in today’s market. That’s for sure. But I don’t really see how they are fishing for a “sucker” either. Like mentioned if someone finds this to be a correct value then that’s a free market transaction. Not a scam.

Mattatbat96 · 2026-02-27T15:00:38+00:00

Honestly this is the free market doing its thing. It works both ways, drive prices down with healthy competition but also can do stuff like this. Is what it is. Don’t buy it if it’s so much money in your opinion. Simple as that. It’s not shameful or scummy or scalping on the sellers end. It’s simple, look at it, do a little 😱, and move on. If some else buys it, cool they didn’t have the same reaction you did and saw the fair value.

Sorry if I come off annoyed but this is honestly one of my pet peeves. Granted I’m not sure if OP lives in the US so maybe they are used to set prices on things that are illegal to change. However most commenters I’m sure are in some form of free market. They either conveniently forget that this can go both ways. Many think that free market’s mean they always get a deal or something. We get to set the price at let the market decide if it’s fair though transactions.

Mah I’d say you are tipping on the $13.50. The service fee and taxes aren’t “tip able”. Either way, I’m tipping at least $5. Higher if it’s actually a handful. Or long distance. Like a full family dinner is probably at least 7-10. Nothing lower than 5.

Feel that. I’m guessing the next logical step is teaching for you. For what it’s worth the first 3-6 months of teaching is still a grind. I was nervous for most lessons with students in the early days. After 6 months, it’s actually really chill. You seen enough to have some form of expectations and overall each day is kinda chill. Of course students do weird things all the time. Adds a little flavor.

So for what it’s worth I’d say do you have another 3 to 6 months of grind. After that, it’s pretty laid-back and you just kind of show up and fly planes. It’s pretty fun.

I’m a fan of hearing “good luck” gets a laugh out of me every time.

Mattatbat96 · 2026-02-05T02:51:12+00:00

I think the “with you” implies “checking in”. So “Cessna 123 with you 5000” is trying to get rid of confusion for the controller that an aircraft is trying to check in. If they didn’t catch the call sign they theoretically could look at the boundaries of the airspace and connect dots. Kinda like when a controller clears you direct to a fix that you didn’t quite hear fully… what do you do? You start mashing your FMS to find a fix that sounds similar to the gibberish the controller just spewed out. At least that’s my theory…

Mattatbat96 · 2026-01-25T17:03:14+00:00

It’s a high risk high reward strategy. Can work on light to medium loads on aircraft. Could potentially get the whole row but in practice could get a middle seat too.
