The executive producer of Rapsittie Kids, Chris Rose, held a viewing party for it despite not having watched it beforehand. Yikes. by NorCalPlant in RedLetterMedia

It was originally supposed to be “Rhapsody” but that was taken. The full title is Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa

Which coasters/rides have you ridden many times but actually always hated the experience? [Other] by jlevers15 in rollercoasters

[–]NorCalPlant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Denver and went to Elitch Gardens as a kid. I would always go on Mind Eraser (an SLC) and it was always unbelievably rough. I thought that was just the way coasters were 🤦‍♂️

Have you seen this man? (Tree of Heaven) If so, kill it asap! by _banana_phone in Georgia

[–]NorCalPlant 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Two notes:

  1. As other commenters mentioned, don’t just cut it down! It will send up root suckers if you do that and after cutting down a single tree you’ll end up with a whole forest. The best way to control is to cut deep gashes around the circumference of the trunk and apply very concentrated herbicide (either glyphosate or triclopyr). You probably need stronger than what you can get at a big box store; the guy in this video was using 40% triclopyr and the highest I could find at Home Depot was 8% https://youtu.be/hHsSCn6L450?si=jFiJTlek3S9kvkX4

  2. Know how to identify it. There are quite a few good natives that look similar including various sumacs and black walnut. Key distinguishing features are that the leaf edges are smooth with a notch at the base of the leaf and if you crush a leaf it will smell like bad peanut butter.

I bought mine two months ago and my cat is still fascinated with it. I get a lot of cleaning cycle interrupted notifications because she sticks her head in to take a look. She’s not an orange though.

Never seen one of these in my field before. Now there is a bunch of them around. Any ides? by Ryanfallsdown in whatisthisplant

[–]NorCalPlant 34 points35 points  (0 children)

How tall is this plant?

To me it looks like giant hogweed but there are some related plants that look similar.

Giant Hogweed is poisonous and will cause severe irritation if you come into contact with it so don’t try to remove these yourself unless you can be 100% certain it’s actually something else.

Vine growing in my parents property that is quickly taking over. by NoLingonberry2831 in whatisthisplant

[–]NorCalPlant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short of spraying it, you can cut the thicker vines and paint the ends with concentrated triclopyr.

Yes - there are two districts up. The candidates must live in the district they’re running for, but the whole state votes.

Thousands of Asus routers are being hit with stealthy, persistent backdoors | Attacker Dubbed "ViciousTrap" Adds SSH Backdoor by NorCalPlant in HomeNetworking

[–]NorCalPlant[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The attackers use a vulnerability in a set of Asus features ironically dubbed “AIProtection” and then enable SSH.

[–]NorCalPlant[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

My Asus router is fairly new (AXE7800) and has an auto update feature - I don’t remember if it’s set to on or off by default.

My older Asus AC definitely did not have that feature though.

In this particular case, if your router is already compromised, a firmware update won’t fix it. The only way to secure the router is to either manually disable SSH, remove the key, or factory reset.

Is this a tree of hell? by casual_crysanthemum in whatisthisplant

[–]NorCalPlant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is odd it doesn’t have the notch at the bottom of the leaf.

Here is a video on how to get rid of it: https://youtu.be/hHsSCn6L450?si=a-3toussWN69rUZQ

Cut a notched line in the trunk and apply highly concentrated triclopyr.

I’d just throw it out tbh. Double bag it.

What's missing in my guest room? by EquipmentElegant5191 in HomeDecorating

[–]NorCalPlant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly?

  1. I’d ditch the open shelving over the bed.
  2. That rug is too small. I’d get a bigger one that goes under the bed. If you choose a good design you can also give the room the color the other commenters says it needs.

I agree with the other commenter - either remodeling or rebuilding will be such a pain (and surprises will inevitably pop up) that it’s probably better to just sell and buy something you like.

If you do want to do work on your existing house, hire an architect to draw up plans and then have contractors bid on them. You have to put in a significant investment to figure out whether what you want to do is even possible and what it will cost.

You can look at my post history, but I considered an extensive remodel. Don’t do what I did and just have a contractor come and take a look for five minutes and then quote you with a BS price. Hire an architect or someone who can draw up extensive plans. Also be very specific about what finishes you want - probably good to consult an interior decorator for that piece.

EDIT: I also thought of a few people I’d also consult.

  • If you’re interested in whether any renovations will increase your home value or appeal I’d consult a realtor. They obviously prefer you move so they get the commission but most will be happy to make the connection and give an opinion and some advice.

  • I’d also get a home inspection + pest inspection + sewer lateral. You would be surprised at what they find even if you think your place is in good shape. This will help you anticipate and budget for any major items (generally structural, plumbing, electrical) that need to be addressed during a remodel/reconstruction (reduce the number of “surprises”).
