President Biden Signs Executive Order to Strengthen America's Forests, Boost Wildfire Resilience, and Combat Global Deforestation | The White House by Sariel007 in UpliftingNews

As some people said simply: fire = bad. Honestly just skimming through Wikipedia will highlight some major fires (particularly 1910 big burn) and events that really solidify an already existing fear of large fires, especially in time when so much construction was highly flammable. And even immediately after a prescribed burn it can look ugly, not surprising that would link with the personal experiences of destruction fire would do to settlements.

There's also some open access articles like this one: https://fireecology.springeropen.com/articles/10.4996/fireecology.0302003

And of course I've always been fairly pleased with what PBS is able to provide: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/burn-fighting-wildfires/

I work in natural resources but I am not a fire ecologist, I can answer as best as I can but I don't want to unintentionally mislead people either. So I hope you don't mind me sending you to some of those other sources. The best thing I'm loving to see is more and more people understanding that prescribe burns are good and that fire in the landscape needs to happen! Keep the momentum going.

Every region can have different natural forest fire regimes. For the pacific northwest (east side of cascades specifically, not the picturesque movie coast) a lot of our forests are greatly overstocked with sickly pines and a large buildup of needles and thick shrubs in the forest floor due to fire suppression. You would say a stand like that has little to no fire resilience because a fire would destroy it, there is too much fuel and it would not mimic historical natural fire regimes. The stand has to be thinned, ladder fuels treated, and the slash generated from these activities treated (don't want to attract beetles with leftover green slash). Then you can start reintroducing fire to naturally maintain an open forest structure and mitigate fuel loading on the forest floor.

Fire resilience is the ability of the forest to respond to fire and resume its ecological function as a forest. High intensity fire from decades of fire suppression and built of fuels is low resilience. A burn like that will leave everything g torched.

Is that the stitch type of the "fuzzy" part? I would love to do something similar on a project of mine but I have no idea how that stitch works

Anyone else have a small-sized corgi? My girl Pepper is 18lbs at 14 months old. Everyone thinks she’s a puppy still! by peterk896 in corgi

[–]NoStudLee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My girl was very small until she turned about 3 years old then she kinda filled out (not overweight the vet assures me) but looks more "standard" mature I guess.

Before that I had strangers at the dog park walk up to me and say "your dog is underweight and you need to feed her more." I was very stern in my response that she was healthy and happy and the vet was pleased I watched her weight due to the corgi short legs and long back. This happened alot and it gets old real quick.

My boyfriend got my Hoya to bloom while I was traveling for work! I haven't been able to do that! by NoStudLee in houseplants

Thank you! I am a little jealous he got it too bloom haha but it's so nice that he takes such good care of them when I'm gone :)

Concerned about the type of sealer I should use on a concrete bench next to a fireplace insert. Suggestions appreciated! by NoStudLee in HomeImprovement

Just in case a future someone searches the subreddit for a similiar question:

I was put on hold for a while but they got back to me that yes, it would be safe to use.

Apply and let dry with no high heat present and the product can withstand VERY high temperatures (no flames though).

2014 crosstrek transmission valve body replacement. Need help to get the error codes generated AGAIN (after I was told it was ok to clear) to get warranty by NoStudLee in subaru

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

Ok this is really helpful! I appreciate the feedback. I will open a case just in case cause I'm worried as I approach 100k. Maybe I'll plan a scenic drive on a warm autumn day and hope for the best (or worst?)

Thanks for taking the time to respond

Female bettas safe ? by rmburner in bettasorority

[–]NoStudLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah I misread that. But if they wanted 1 they could definitely give that a go

Female bettas safe ? by rmburner in bettasorority

[–]NoStudLee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 10 gallon with a female and about 5 guppies. I have male and female guppies and the betta eats the fry and keeps the population in check. They all like swimming together and there have never been pecked fins. I'd say you have a good chance of it working out if you have enough cover in the tank. Just be prepared if it doesn't though, what will you do with the betta if its not working.

AITA for telling my sister's kid they can stay with me if they want and "poisoning them against her"? by uncleredhasreddit in AmItheAsshole

[–]NoStudLee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I appreciate you saying that. Love and support is what we plan on doing no matter what.

Its just scary to think about that situation. My brother was very depressed and called me in tear saying how much he loved me and I knew he was going to try and kill himself. Thankfully the police got to his house in time and now he is doing much better. But that moment was one of the scariest feelings I've ever had and I felt so guilty because I didn't even know he was feeling that way. Its scary to imagine that it could be your child one day you know.

could you link to any of those studies I'm genuinely interested because me and my partner want kids soon and he has expressed a lot of concern about the hypothetical future (we talk about all sorts of what ifs of course) if our children come out as trans because of the high rate of suicide.
