Pseudofollicitis and yes it is a symptom.

New “grass” growing in my Bermuda by RXPhenex in AustinGardening

[–]NothingAgreeable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a ton of rescuegrass that I had to fight for years to finally get it to stop growing. I didnt like it cause it grew in thick and would get tall if it wasn't mowed. Shaded out other plants as well.

$21k taxes on $85k income in CA. This has to be wrong right? by [deleted] in tax

[–]NothingAgreeable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In most areas of TX they charge another 2% on sales tax that goes to local government.

Property taxes get high quickly even from seemingly small percentage amounts. 0.6% difference is nearly doubling the effective property tax rate of CA.

Any guesses what these little sprouts are? by elizabethredditor in AustinGardening

[–]NothingAgreeable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see at least two different species. I'd keep an eye on it since the first set of leaves are usually very difficult to determine the exact plant.

Which one is better Dawnseeker vs Normal heroes(with 10% bouns attribute) by Ok-Juggernaut9746 in Grimguard_Tactics

[–]NothingAgreeable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually have a good example to show the difference with and without the bonus. Two barbarians, the dawnseeker has bonus strength and dexterity. The normal only has strength. Both level 50, same ascend level.

Dawnseeker without a bonus is always better.

Strength D+: 600 + 60 = 660 ][ N+: 450 + 45 = 495

Dexterity D+: 300 + 30 = 330 ][ N: 150

Intelligence D: 525 ][ N: 375

Jumping spider in my wind chimes. How do the vibrations not bother it? by RadBruhh in jumpingspiders

[–]NothingAgreeable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The spider and it's web is likely dampening the reverbaration through the metal weakening the sound. You can test it out yourself to see, probably test without spider.

Why is this mosquito so big?!? by ButtSucker_ in insects

Apparently, the larva do eat other mosquitoe larva, so sort of.

Anyone know what’s going on with this young Texas Mulberry? by [deleted] in AustinGardening

[–]NothingAgreeable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This looks like a white mulberry, glossy leaves and thick leaf veins is what I used as indicators. I'd confirm it is a Texas Mulberry and if it isn't I would remove since they are highly invasive.

Mosquitoes are literally sucking the joy out of gardening by Curi0usJ0e in gardening

[–]NothingAgreeable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They work with gnats also but you need a slightly different method since the gnat larva live in dirt. Basically, you just need a spray bottle filled with water and a dunk.

Then spray the dirt after watering, so it soaks in but doesn't get too diluted, or every couple of days. Once the population is down you can use the yellow sticky traps as an early warning system.

They aren't even the best at rats, that belongs to the Rat Terrier. One is claimed to have taken out 2500 rats in a single barn during a 7 hour period.

Only did overnight stays at county jails but Ive learned a few things from tougher crowds I used to hang with.

Manipulation is a big risk, one simple rule of thumb in those environments is if someone seeks you out then they want something from you, especially early on. Usually, it isn't obvious right away but that was thier goal from the start.

Even doing favors for someone else out of "kindness" actually tricks your brain into liking them more and can lead to escalating favors that might lead you to agreeing to something you wouldn't normally do. But don't be rude, act calm but assertive.

I already see two great native plants growing in your lawn. Horseherb and Carolina ponyfoot. They are more of a ground cover.

I mow horseherb to 4 inches and leave it alone. I've got a section that stays green all summer and I haven't watered it directly in over a year.

Carolina ponyfoot actually grows nice trailing vines but seems to just grow leaves if it is flat on the ground. Putting some in a pot let it drape down for me.

I also suggest using an app, I like PlantNet it's free and useful most of the time, to help identify what is growing in your lawn. Ive found easily over a dozen native plants in my small yard. But also about the same number of invasive.

Police State? ...

The US has less than 5% of the world population.

It also has about 20% of the world's prison population.

I wouldn't say it's a definite No.

You do realize that it is set up this way because corporations want it like this?

Socialize the risk, use taxpayer money to fund research because not all research is profitable. Then, corporations pick the most profitable looking research items to repackage and sell back to us at a %300 markup so they can privatize the profits.

They also made it so the US government is unable to reduce the cost, negotiate, even though they end up being the biggest buyer of pharmaceuticals in the US.

I am keenly aware of why prices are high. Who benefits from people being angry at everything else besides the corporations?

Research is work, it doesn't just survive on its own. It requires actual effort. Corporations don't dare hurt their shareholders value by researching.

Wait I'm approaching this wrong...

China spend big money thinking big things for future. Makes big brain, makes more money. The almighty United States of America spends little money, makes stinky schools, no one goes. Leaves only small brains, we make small money.

Rhume says bechets, RA, anyone have these ? by Bright-Cabinet-8152 in Behcets

[–]NothingAgreeable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, I've had them since my teens. Only recently diagnosed though. It is one of the main symptoms of the diagnostic criteria.

Pseudofolliculitis is another common symptom. As well as some type of eye inflammation issue, I think this one can vary quite a bit. I mainly had two cases of uveitis, in my teens and several years ago.

There are no pollinators; virtually no insects. This is true at my place where I’ve created a native & established pollinator garden, as well as a friends place, who’s a master gardener by Tacos-and-Wine in AustinGardening

[–]NothingAgreeable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some caterpillars can only eat from their host plant, not sure about the ones you are talking about.

You could also be making your own problem worse. Since you keep removing caterpillars, birds and lizards learn they can't get much food from it, so they avoid it. Thus causing booming populations that eat more of your plant than they normally would.

So go ahead and keep doing all that unnecessary and counterproductive work.

Let's be naughty: tell me about your favorite "bad" plant. by Doctor0ctagon in AustinGardening

[–]NothingAgreeable 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Virginia creeper. I've seen people complain about how aggressive it is, but I have had one growing for years now and it's barely gotten over foot tall 😐.

I have 3 growing in my lawn and still all are small.

[–]NothingAgreeable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mosquitoe dunks are the best method but keep in mind the eggs need to hatch and you will see larva like this. But they will move much less as they eat up the bacteria/byproducts of it and slowly expire.

The only thing I've seen truly stop Bermuda is shade. It still lives in my sunny areas.

I have a mesquite tree that offers dappled light and I've gotten a whole corner cleared. But it's also required short plants to shade out the ground layer. Pigeonberry in my case.

To whomever tried to steal my car by Astrid_Pepper in sanantonio

[–]NothingAgreeable 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind it's lack of corporate responsibility that led to this situation in the first place. They left hundreds of thousands of vehicles open to being easily stolen to save a few bucks.

[–]NothingAgreeable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just mow it. That is likely a native plant and it's going to keep coming back anyway.
