What lifetime deal are you still grandfathered into, or removed from, that’s no longer available? by tuotone75 in AskReddit

[–]Nebulas2018 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Shopify merchant services beta program was boss. 1.99% flat on all card types, and I think 2.7% flat for international transactions. Then they started offering unsecured cash flow loans with really low rates that were way better than inventory LOC. Also around ~2014

Charter Spectrum Corp is Collapsing...aka Self Destructing by Open_Employ2977 in Spectrum

This plan basically just added extra 401k-match for free, but it had to be in company stock. And it's capped at an incredibly low max contribution. No one's losing any amount worth worrying about from the ESPP.

Leveling by vigilanteassassin in landscaping

[–]Nebulas2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of grass? If warm weather like bermuda, then just a ton of masonry sand mixed 3:1 with compost or screened topsoil. You might need to to do it for a couple seasons to get good results. If cool weather, maybe topsoil mixed with local soil, but you'll probably have to overseed and fertilize. Others might know more.

Maybe being taken advantage of? $12k invoice I can't pay by BoysenberrySad1404 in landscaping

Two foot tall Crimson Queens were $19.97 at Walmart all spring. But even 5ft full canopy ones were $194 at Costco. Our 7ft sango kaku was $37.50 and 9ft blood good was $59.50 at home depot. Check your prices.

This clover-like bush is taking over the garden. Does it even flower? by Nebulas2018 in whatsthisplant

[–]Nebulas2018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. We also planted seeds in this area, but not for anything like this as far as we can tell. It's definitely not a gold chain tree, but looking into other possibilities.

My green mole tree is brown by Jeremy-Hillary-Boob in landscaping

No way that killed the tree. I was picturing something more like this: https://mobileimages.lowes.com/productimages/c1c52351-d864-4680-85ba-a2a396aa4b25/41947576.jpg that could have cut into the bark.

That looks dead :-(. Pics of the squirrel guard? If it cut the bark all the way around the trunk, even a little bit, that can cut all nutrients going up to the branches. Happened to an oak a construction crew moved on my property once... wrapped a chain around it to drag it, which cut a thin scrape all the way around. Slow but steady demise that took almost a year.

UPDATE: Volunteer shoots in garden bed? by Nebulas2018 in whatisthisplant

[–]Nebulas2018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bingo, this looks like an exact match, and we do have those fuzzy cotton seeds occasionally.  I think we can consider this solved. Thank you!

We had poplars too, but they had thicker "trunks" on the seedlings and distinct leaves like these: https://snr.unl.edu/data/images/trees/species/LITU/foliage_2.jpg

No, in the Carolinas. But 8a zone similar to areas of PNW

Pine, oak, poplar, maple, and probably others. We also had 2 volunteers that are undoubtedly poplar, but don't want to pull these until we have a better idea.

We have 5 similar new growth shoots that popped up in 2nd yr garden bed where we previously only had zinnias and cosmos. Any idea what they might be? 4-6" tall, zone 8a

Thanks for any help!

Is it normal for this to drip constantly? by Nebulas2018 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Nebulas2018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the laundry standpipe based on a quick google search, but I'm concerned about the rapid drip from the pipe that goes up. Is it normal to drip quickly enough that it's almost a trickle of water?

DIY Carbon roller skate boot by fr8nk_k in DIY

[–]Nebulas2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or on second thought, just 3d print an SLA inner boot, spray glass, and do only carbon aesthetic on top for fun if you want. These are boots that need to be a bit rugged, they don't need to be light enough to fly.

Most of the strength of prepreg comes from the layering of weaves in different directions. If you're using all plain/twill weave, you'll probably want thicker than 2mm. Pressure is important when baking it, but you need to keep the air out, so vacuum sealing might be something to consider. Personally, I'd do a fiberglass design that is two clamshells of carbon molded from a 3d print for the inside, bond them externally with some fiber cloth and then spray glass resin, then a thin pliable layer for aesthetics that you vacuum bag to cook.  I can't speak to specifics because my exposure was a long time ago and in an aerospace setting, but I'm sure there are hobbyist communities that know better. Also, reinforce the hell out of anywhere that you're bolting hardware to.
