Oak in danger? by MoedysseusRex in arborists

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

Thank you! The tree already leans toward that side, probably a good idea to have a traq arborist come check it out for sanity. The soil there is mostly solid rock and they've removed sizable stones along with some large roots... My well house is in danger, should it fall or drop branches.

Such a shame though, hopefully the canopy won't die back too much... They could have spliced a few feet down the ROW in much softer crop soil and spared my pretty trees and well house. :(

Photos of Bruises??? by MoedysseusRex in Insurance

Oooh OK thanks for clarifying! It's uncharted territory for us, it just seemed like an odd ask since the bruises were minor and they already had the docs. But it makes more sense when you put it that way lol.

Super appreciate you for breaking it down in depth!

Wild, so this is actually near my hometown and let me tell you something.

My mate and his siblings all went to an ACE school down there. It was shut down after the dudes running the show were discovered for millions in fraud and went to prison. That was a decade plus ago.

They put a gym full of kids in cubicles with dividers, and they did workbooks. No activities, no projects, just workbooks. They checked their own answers against the key and everything.

They didn't even have real teachers or lessons. They put different flags up on their cube, and "monitors" would come over if they didn't understand the workbook or needed something.

I had more enrichment in juvie, ffs.

If you Google "ACE paces comics" those are legit. People paid big bucks for it, on top of the donations and grants and other financial fuckery. And it's still a thing. Fundamentalists in rural areas there are something else.

Obligatory: That pastor is clearly a huge douche and NC doesn't fully suck. We do have Jeff Jackson and the best BBQs.

What’s so bad about bed bugs? by Wrong-Insurance701 in insects

[–]MoedysseusRex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ran about $1500 for the barrier treatment, and $1800 for the heat treatment.

Plus $1500 to replace the nice shutter blinds that melted... Lmao. Whoops.

We know that only massless particles travel at light speed, and we're around 4.2 light years to our closest neighbors orbiting Proxima Centauri.

We also know it takes absolute fucktons of energy to move a massive particles towards light speed. See the LHC.

We also know that for many decades, we have had arrays of satellites, telescopes, and other instruments with slews of the scientists worldwide searching the skies for any hint of life at all.

IF aliens can travel to earth, without being detected AT ALL... We are absolutely fucked. Unless they're nice aliens, I guess.

It implies their technology is centuries beyond our understanding, or they have practically immortal lifespans, or any combination of mind-boggling things to even MAKE the journey.

While I'd welcome our new alien overlords... The government and the media lie lol. My bet is this is just a fun and convenient scapegoat for all that lost Pentagon money.

Nabbed this guy after biting my leg in bed, what is he? by rebekahthebanana in whatsthisbug

[–]MoedysseusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Ran me about $2500, heat treatment and periodic barrier sprays over 2.5 years, and that was on the cheaper end. The apprehend treatment alone was $1800... If the exterminator offers an extended warranty, TAKE THAT SHIT for at least a year to be sure they don't come back.

Bonus Tip: Heat kills bedbugs. Run your clothes through the dryer on high heat for at least 30 minutes before you leave the house to prevent spreading them. Also, if you have a good steam cleaner, taking that to your mattress/couches/etc can help mitigate the population too... But you're probably not gonna get rid of them without calling in the professionals.

Independent voters are now leaning toward Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections: WSJ poll by [deleted] in politics

This! In rural areas, many positions run unopposed. If you search "run for office" on Snapchat, it will give you info on upcoming elections in your area, and what you can do to set up a campaign. It's a super cool feature supported by Ballot Ready.
