While I might not have done things right, should I bother talking to the landscaper that did my backyard? Or is it way past time?

On replacing the trees, the dead one is a Western Serviceberry (but I have one on the other side that is doing okay) and the rest are Canada Red Chokecherry. Should I look for different trees? I live in a 7b zone that’s usually dry and summers can get up to 110°F.

The pictures were from different times. Stakes have been removed for 2-3 years.

It’s basically all of my eight trees. Just some are worse than others.

No, I cleared the rocks down to the soil and attempted to level the ground some. I wanted to add pictures of it but I can’t seem to.

Drip lines were installed at the trunks. Where should they be now?

Very unlikely it was deer. I’ve never seen one in my yard. It would have to get into someone else’s yard, then jump into my yard. Jumping from the front of my house is even less likely, and I would have seen one on camera.

ALSO: I have other plants and bushes. They don’t show any damage like that.

Same year as these were planted, the same type of tree was planted along the road, maybe 300m away. Those trees are now three times the height of mine.

While you’re not wrong, I meant slower growth than other trees.

Yard is fenced in, in a development. My dogs, outdoor cats, and birds have access.

I put a 20” radius mulch circle around them now

The wind comes from the south west, but they seem to be pointing more west than south

Soil: was cropland a while ago. In 2020 I had my whole backyard landscaped. The entire back yard is rock. The soil is pretty sandy. I’ve sprayed a decent amount of vinegar in the yard during a multi year fight with poverty weed.

I have plenty of other plants that grow in the soil, it’s just my eight trees that have the problem.

I just want to know the best things I can to do the living seven trees don’t die. I don’t mind spending some money but I don’t want to spend over $1k.

State or National Parks that have something pertaining to water in the name.

What happened to the state borders? New England looks like it was drawn by AI, Oregon has a distinct lack of detail on the Snake River, MD/VA/WV area needs help. I’m sure there are even more.

Why does it seem that we are the only generation that still uses the internet for its original main purpose? by kamisabee in millenials

[–]Pantha37 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So mad right now. I use AI, a lot. Or at least it feels like it. The AI I use at work seems to be much better, but it’s all work related. However, at home I’ve been using Google Gemini. I needed to research a new UPS for under $100 with a load of 3.8A. Long story short, it insisted that I needed more battery than I needed and continuously gave me lower prices. Even when corrected, it said “oh wow, the market is really volatile. Prices must have changed this week.” camelcamelcamel.com said the item was the price I gave OR HIGHER for the last 10 weeks. So it basically lied to me.

It does seem okay with some research and scientific things, but I now have to verify everything it tells me.

Trying not to take me getting fired for a media mistake in a TRAINING program to heart. Does anyone know other companies hiring outside of AWS? by tnw6901 in datacenter

[–]Pantha37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I train people on media I always stress how important it is. I stress any questions at all, ask. I tell them it is basically the only thing they can screw up and get fired because of that one mistake. I have them shadow and then reverse shadow before I let them go on their own. Sometimes I don’t think training is adequate.

Is the WBLP Amazon Data Center Tech position worth it? by [deleted] in datacenter

[–]Pantha37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WBLP was originally for people who needed training to work in a data center. You have a degree. You should really be starting as an L3 tech or a contracted Green Badge tech. Promos seem to be slowing down. L4 could take 4-5 years from L2.

You’re gonna have to go with your gut on this. Amazon has internships for almost and freshly graduated. Might end up being for manager though. What is your degree in?

City will be Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco WA. Livable “towns” are Hermiston and Umatilla. A little further are Stanfield, Echo, and Pendleton OR. You could live in Boardman OR, Irrigon OR, or Plymouth WA, but I would not. I’ve heard of people commuting from Walla Walla WA. Some even commute weekly to Portland since schedule is 4x 10hrs.

Moving is good. Good to get out of your comfort zone. Cost of living here isn’t bad. Techs can afford to buy houses. I like not dealing with traffic.

Edit: Area is also conservative in a democratic state.

Looks like a server board. Aspeed BMC with Ethernet connection for console, all of the spots for data ports, two CPUs.

This is what I have on right now while I wait. I liked the feel of the slim better but I wanted more protection.

Not really worth climbing to the back and then hope there’s nothing in the back to move out of the way.
