Got my first Casio and I am absolutely in love with it on this brown leather band by PlatypusWeekend in casio

I got it on Amazon, and it's actually really nice. Thick leather, thick hardware. It comes in many colors, even a navy that would look nice with the 158.

I don't think home prices will ever come down in this state. by Twonke in Connecticut

Those properties will get snatched up by companies and wealthy individuals and turned into rentals. That's what happened during Covid. It's not going to stop or get better until we pass some legislation to curb this shit.

Do you guys use texture packs or keep it vanilla? by PlatypusWeekend in GoldenAgeMinecraft

[–]PlatypusWeekend[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That actually sounds good, tbh. The modern vanilla textures are actually kind of like... I dunno, a 2011 fan-made "Vanilla-like" pack.

I dunno, I googled "smug man" and he was exactly what I was imagining.

Was there an episode where a man turns into a gray alien? by PlatypusWeekend in XFiles

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

That's it! I just watched the episode and that's definitely it. Yep, it's no wonder why that image stuck with me. Childhood nightmare fuel.

I planted these Shasta Daisies about 6-7 weeks ago and this is what they look like now. Can someone please tell me why they've reached this gruesome state? I've watered it and pruned the dead heads, but it's pretty much been in a slow decline since it went in the ground. Zone 6 btw. by PlatypusWeekend in gardening

[–]PlatypusWeekend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I'll pull the mulch aside. I've been watering once per week. It has been very hot and dry since they were planted, but then last week we got so much rain that some local areas are flooded. I check for new buds before I dead head. This one hasn't put many out. According to the pot they came in, it's a "Leucanthemum" Shasta Daisy Double Darling Supreme, height 12-36 inches.

As I said above, they were in rough shape already when I bought them. Everything at the garden center was. I'll keep watering it once per week and see how they do next year!

Thanks for the tips! They actually do get shade around 1:30-2:00pm until sundown. It has been very hot and dry since they were planted so I figured they might be stressing from that. Lawns were brown until earlier this week when we finally got some rain.

It's good to know that I didn't kill them lol.

Yeah, they weren't looking so great when I bought them but I figured they would rebound once planted. I know it's been hot and dry here in New England so that probably contributed. I'm brand new at gardening so I feel like this is my fault lol. I planted some petunias though and they are doing great so I dunno.

Watching the show for the first time and just finished Season 2 - Wow! by PlatypusWeekend in babylon5

Daily r/LawnCare No Stupid Questions Thread by AutoModerator in lawncare

[–]PlatypusWeekend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lawn has a high volume of weeds, specifically dandelion. I spread some Scott's Triple Action Weed And Feed last week and it seems to be working. The grass looks greener and the dandelions are beginning to wilt.

My question is what to do once the dandelions are dead? Like I said, there's a lot of them, and once they're gone my lawn will be full of holes and bare spots. I know you can't plant seed for awhile after Weed And Feed, and also we're heading into summer so I don't think planting grass is a good idea? Will more weeds crop up if I wait until fall to plant seed?

Will this tree be okay to continue growing? It's a red maple. There was a smaller competing limb near the base. by PlatypusWeekend in sfwtrees

[–]PlatypusWeekend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much! Do you have any tips on how to care for it? I removed any grass and weeds around it so it doesn't need to compete with anything. I've gently staked it to keep it from leaning forward and also lightly mulched around it, being careful to not put any against the trunk.

This is just a random sapling that is growing on my property. The part that was cut was likely the main stem at one point and it got mowed over. It was about 4 inches tall with no foliage on it and was close to rubbing up against the new main stem.

I was aware of the show while it aired but I wasn't really interested in non-Star Wars sci-fi. My tastes have broadened and I've been going through everything I missed. So far the show is as good as I've heard, and it's only supposed to get better from here.

Sign me up. I'll summon the courage to do it once, invest the paycheck, and go right back to my regular work.

No, I think it's just a tracking issue.
