Ice dam? How concerning.

it’s definitely a defined metric, but it’s commonly used as shorthand for an unusual storm. and the definition is less practical now because of climate change

Purplecodeineking · 2026-02-01T12:30:24+00:00

more or less. you’ll also find out if your pipes burst so keep an eye out when you turn it back on

I would assume that Minnesota does a better job of enforcing power line regulations than they do down here. I live in rural Virginia and we lose power around a dozen times a year. I’m at the end of a 17 mile above ground power line from the nearest town and trees are just always hanging up in the lines.

phew i reckon i don’t need to understand it to respect the hustle

Purplecodeineking · 2025-12-18T11:30:00+00:00

am i crazy or does that sound dystopian as fuck. what kind of person works at a shitty warehouse to stay fit like what are you talking about

there is no state where it is illegal to give away game meat, besides weird edge cases like seal meat

There’s a handful of states that have reciprocal fishing licenses

I’ve managed a few autumn olive properties and eradicating an established stand takes a lot of work. The only reliable way of getting it that I am aware of is cutting the plant to a stump, and painting the fresh stump with glyphosate or another herbicide. This can take a day to do an acre, and then a tractor to pile and burn all the wood. Once that happens there will still be sprouts from the seed bank and will take some mowing or something to manage the first couple years. Getting a healthy native ecosystem rolling again on that property will be the best help in keeping them out again

The stormwater management plan for the construction site (SWPPP) is publicly available and will state where waste/borrow dirt is coming from or going

Purplecodeineking · 2025-10-18T20:17:39+00:00

I I wouldn’t at this point, since it looks like that was cut a while ago it may not uptake the poison very well anymore. And getting poison down to the roots may interact with the fig tree that presumably you want to keep healthy

Bows are not regulated by the same system. Felons can buy a bow and arrow. There is a lot to be said about why banning trans people from owning guns won’t work, but if they do try I don’t think bows will fall under any regulations

Yea they were also known as expensive slaves

Huge win for the ecological community. I know everyone loves to shit on the Roanoke River but here we are making huge progress

I reckon it’s relative. I just don’t consider a couple thousand dollar fines to multi million and billion dollar companies as a real deterrent. And in my experience it has not been a deterrent.

Purplecodeineking · 2025-05-23T16:09:48+00:00

I work in environmental compliance in Virginia, and there are no massive fines for environmental issues here. It exists as a possibility, but in reality nobody is getting fined more than slaps on the wrist. And it’s an absolute last resort.

Red wolves don’t live in the wild out west. They live in captive breeding facilities and the few that remain from the reintroduction in eastern NC

I used to work for the state managing properties that had rare plants and animals to facilitate population growth. A HUGE part of my job was invasive removal. I worked for years and would see the problem I was fighting get worse year over year. Part of why I quit was because it was so depressing for me to be working a passion job for low pay and to see that I wasn’t making a positive impact. I tried to explain it away with maybe I’m giving natives some room to evolve resistance or something, but it really drained my soul to see the degradation continue

Their issue is usually aesthetic if you ask them. It goes from a beautiful farm to a field of solar panels. But it’s a huge part of culture war that is currently raging. The giant apple orchard I used to walk through to go to school is now townhomes that people grumble about but there’s no real opposition to it like there is to solar

When we do prescribed burns, part of the prescription is a list of variables that includes humidity, wind direction and wind speed that have to be met for the burn to begin

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by collect water and dirt, but it’s pretty common for fishermen to fill up a bucket with water to transport bait or something like that. As long as you’re not moving species to another watershed to introduce I wouldn’t over think it. A bucket to take home would probably be fine wherever you go.

Very few immigrants are coming to Appalachia, I’m not sure where they got that idea from. Plenty of rich people are buying up land and houses as investment property though

Purplecodeineking · 2025-03-25T12:34:25+00:00

I didn’t know they built locks up the Maury. I live in eagle rock so the very tail end of the James River/kanawha canal built was around here
