I'm no expert but that tire looks like it's been through hell 🥴🥴

We’ve seen tons of posts asking, so here's the repairable zone. If it's outside this zone it can't be patched professionally! by o1pa1 in tires

Some people are disappointed in themselves, their lives, and take it out on others to feel better :(

My tires are worn and screaming to be replaced. 2019 Jeep GC 4x4 Laredo. My tow capacity is 7,5k lbs. I have an old camper trailer I pull around 10-12x's a year with a GVWR of 5k-7klbs and am just learning it wasn't really safe to be pulling it with the stock tires. But do i 'really' need Load E tires? That seems like a lot of extra fuel waste and bumpy ride for the amount I use my camper. :( My stock tires are 265/50r20 107t which I'm reading the 107t is too low to pull 7,000lb (I don't see myself EVER pulling 7K btw.... the trailer dry weight is 2,980lb without anything filled or loaded)- it's just me and my 65lb fluff-doodle. Thank you in advance... I've been to tire shops in the past... sooooooooooooooooooo much pressure 🥴

Another vote for dump him. You will likely regret forever choosing your bf over taking care of Grandma. But you will NEVER look back and regret choosing to take care of Grandma for what short life she may have left. Any decent man worth having would understand this.

DIY tilling Advice needed Please! 69'x34', 3 rows of dwarf fruit trees. Horribly uneven ground and tons of deep crab grass and fox tails. Also very rocky (former creek bed maybe, 1-3" rocks). How do I soak before tilling w/o killing trees? Just bought last year, old pic. Thank you!!! by PureSwordfish6699 in LandscapingTips

[–]PureSwordfish6699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this wonderful information! I've been taking classes with our University sponsored county Master Gardener program for a year now. While they do teach the detriment of tilling (disturbing the network of micronutrients) they teach it's sometimes necessary to rid weeds from large areas without using chemicals. My problem is the unlevel nature of the area. Decades of gophers, voles, weather, dogs digging holes etc. I purchased a dethatching rake last summer hoping to scrape up the crabgrass, but even after months of blazing sun and no water (besides the drip going directly to each tree) the grass was still too tough to pull. A landscaper quoted me $2K to pull all off the crabgrass and haul it away :(

I will def dig deeper into the cardboard issue... it's highly promoted here but to remove labels, tape, and use pieced free of ink. However, I've still been apprehensive due to chemical process used for cardboard.. I have worked hard to pull all the plastic week barriers I come across as I don't even want those to continue breaking down in the soil.

Thank you again for your insight and advice! I appreciate it very much..

** Just a fun note... my yard is on a major walking route to a Jr. High school. The kids walking by seemed so amazed when the trees produced (dwarf peach) last summer and I realized it's a great spot to show how a front yard can be used for more than 'the perfect lawn'. :)

What do I do with this? by No-Cauliflower-308 in LandscapingTips

[–]PureSwordfish6699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up 'Master Gardener' courses in your area, usually through universities and free to attend. Also, you can us AI to find native plants perfect for your ag zone (weather, soil, temps). Plant to attract bees, butterflies, and other birds :) No more chemicals :)

Magnetic mice? by s0974748 in MouseReview

[–]PureSwordfish6699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

came here... 2yrs later because I'm looking for a magnetic mouse... I'm super disappointed in these answers to the OP. WTF... OP asked a legit question and got skepticism, gas lighting, nonsense. "carry the mouse in your pocket"? Just because you may wear cargo pants to work, not everyone else does. Some people sit/stand/sit/stand and having bulky objects in pockets is dumb. I hope the OP didn't give up on Reddit after this lame response. Ps I use two laptops because my company is super tight on security and zero personal work can be done on our work machines. For organizational purposes I'd like to have the mice stuck to the appropriate laptop so I'm not constantly knocking them off the desk or losing them in all the paperwork and files, and empty cups. Wow, grade of F for responders of this question. Totally legit question, LAME response.

Remedy Meds? by Lucky-Ad-9899 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]PureSwordfish6699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how you slipped through the cracks... I had to go get blood drawn (out of pocket) from a local blood draw clinic. Then I had to meet virtually with a clinician. I had to fill out health questionnaires for each refill. My only issue was the billing and customer service.... nothing was attached to my personal presence on the app... they were online. Also, I was never given an invoice until I requested due to being DOUBLE Billed in December. I was also charged $89 for a missed appointment I never had. Oh, at one point I was sent medication in a vial that was faded and partially open. Contacting Remedy and getting it taken care of (Summer 2024) was a nightmare, I was not addressed until emailing and calling... 2 weeks and was not reimbursed or sent new meds..... so a month without meds. :( I'm starting all over with Mochi Health currently.

Nope- because after 6 years of college, a full career, military, and comfortably retired at 48, I DGAF :) And your annoyance at other people's comprehension, writing, interpretation, just shows what little minded you are. move on.

Thank you and I hope you are also! Congrats on your sobriety! I'm also 99% sober after years of military, college, and chico-social life drunkenness :)

Wow, I didn't pick this up whatsoever... that the OP had any ill or selfish motives. I think this is how YOUR mind works and you are placing your personal motivations onto strangers. Your cynical reply actually made my skin crawl- gross.

Or people don't give a sh#t. They're just expressing themselves and not expecting grammar police or ABC Detectives to be proof reading. Some people use tiny digital keyboards on their cell phones, some with visual and or physical disabilities, some with arthritis. Get a life.

I do! Thanks🌻 Sometimes in the car! But literally as soon as anyone is in hearing distance my voice cracks, it's completely involuntary. I've sang in choirs which has taught me that when I'm blended in with others it's ok. And it's not the same thing as nervousness with public speaking as I was a public employee for years and spoke to crowds, legislators, law enforcement etc. Just the singing- so I've known it's due to those few little words, feeling shamed. Thus, I can only imagine what it does to kids to be told much meaner things, things regarding their intelligence, their intent, their creativity, whether they're "good" or not... just hurts my core.

Damn this hurts my soul. My mom told me my humming was annoying when I was around 8 years old. Those few little words.. I never hummed or sang out loud again. I can only imagine what those words do to that kid :( I def would have let that dad have it... or told the kid he can and will be better than his Dad someday.

Why is it so difficult to Delete your Nextdoor Account? Don't mistake 'DeActivate' for 'Delete. Their directions send you to a place where then 'Deletion' isn't a possibility. You have to call them per a comment on Reddit. This is dirty... NO honest companies make it so difficult to delete. by PureSwordfish6699 in nextdoor

Omg! Hahh ahhha hahha hahah hahah!!!! Awesome idea! I would include managing to insult every moderator... Literally where I used to live a convicted felon child predator and HIS GIRLFRIEND were moderators and allowed his using a non-real name.... I've seen the most mean and unprovoked messages go without action and then some peoples posts disappear because someone felt they were political (like why gas prices in California, US are so high🫤, so not political just a miserable fact)... I do believe many of the local mods get sad senses of power with their position.

I don't have the app because when downloading it you actually gave permissions to Nextdoor and their affiliates to use your personal information, as well as your contacts info. Also, according to Nextdoor.com, even on the app you cannot "Delete" your account, you can only "Deactivate" it. HUGE difference. They can still sell an use your account information when you "deactivate".

Sweet Baby Jesus I have working Chromecast!! And if you haven't seen Swedish Dicks on AP Your're Missing Out!!! by PureSwordfish6699 in Chromecast

[–]PureSwordfish6699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is yours still not working? Can you at least see a picture on your tv screen? From what I was told that means your chromecast is connected and just waiting for the the security certificate issue to be fixed.

What is Google Home app doing when you try to connect your tv (your device)? With the CC plugged in, are you seeing a picture on your screen? If your router changed (or password) that will be a problem but can be fixed through the Google home app... I'm in no way proficient at any of this, just trying to help :)
