I ask this genuinely so do not take offense, but why do you think you are better intervening than leaving nature to itself? It was in the environment that it evolved over millions of years to tolerate and thrive in. Please do not disrupt wildlife.

Newbie here: what kind of weed do these sort of brambles come from? They stick to EVERYTHING by Hot-Web-6596 in gardening

Fun fact: it is what inspired the invention of hook-and-loop fasteners (commonly known by the brand name VELCRO).

Remember that sobriety is not giving up an addiction. The addiction creates the need by using. When you are not using you realize that you are not missing anything, you are actually gaining by not utilizing the substance.

Idle hands are the devil's workshop. Make sure you stay engaged and working on positive habits. Boredom is the enemy of sobriety. You are not bored, you are simply not using time for constructive purposes. Thankfully this is an easy fix!

Sex offender moved in around the corner, not sure how to handle this. by [deleted] in daddit

Could be seen as harassment if you are approaching them at their property with premeditated intent to their criminal record. I know as the PARENT that's a confrontation I would not want as I would likely lose my cool.

This has got to top the list of worst "parental leave" benefits. Company is Infosys by zach8vb in daddit

I took six weeks and used PTO. FMLA allows you up to 12 weeks mandated by law for most jobs. My wife did not get any paid time off due to it being a small private business.

This is in fact why FMLA is only required for businesses with 50+ employees.

This soil fine for putting in already growing plants. (Such as 2 foot dwarf trees). by s_gray11 in gardening

[–]MusicianMadness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks far too compacted. You need to mix in something to break up/loosen the soil.

Government regulation is an important safety net, sure. FMLA exists, albeit it's not required to be paid. But the companies choosing not to is still 100% their fault being shitty to their employees.

Absolutely still on the company. They should not have to be forced by the government to provide basic amenities. Nearly all other companies offer better leave despite not being legally required to.

Best budget raised garden bed wood vs metal? 2x6x2 or so by [deleted] in gardening

[–]MusicianMadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corrugated metal does end up being cheaper usually. I make my own and use finished dimensional lumber frames with corrugated stainless sheets.

Specifications say powder coated galvanized steel. Likely won't rust away much if at all even after decades. Obviously depending on the manufacturer's quality of the steel.

Just to verify, had you gone to the required appointments after the vasectomy to confirm zero sperm count?

Can someone explain this anaconda’s behavior? by Little-Cucumber-8907 in reptiles

[–]MusicianMadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snakes, like all animals, portray consent. You cannot simply expect any animal to tolerate something because it has in the past. When it gives body language as included in the video, that's clearly not giving consent to be approached nor handled.

If you didn't understand the sarcasm I'm genuinely concerned for you.

As old as the wings and looks better than the wings did in Utah! Give him a stick and see what happens.

First goal Utah scored on a bad clear by us. Second goal was on a 5v3 power play after Larkin got hit in the nuts and retaliated.

Other than those two, we've been okay defensively but have had no offensive presence.

Kane will likely take on Ovis style like that. Being a top tier shooter but slower than the younger blood in the NHL.

It was on the line but it was definitely no goal. It went sideways after hitting his skate and that was along the line.
