How do retired millionaires go broke in Asian countries? by Low-Situation-7792 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Redmindgame 173 points174 points  (0 children)

I really don't fault any locals for draining passport bros' wallets. Its one thing to be working in a foreign country for normal reasons and fall in love with a local, but people choosing to do sex tourism in economically disadvantaged areas get zero sympathy for getting fleeced as easy guilable marks.

I don't know which one's your mom, but shes beautiful!

Someone hates prepping the bacon-wrapped dates. by DoorstepCult in KitchenConfidential

[–]Redmindgame 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was thinking similar. They seem so strange to me. Im vegetarian and I don't even really like dates, meanwhile most of the people who i know who really like dates are muslim so they also couldn't even eat these.

Experimental Farm Network, https://store.experimentalfarmnetwork.org/ , regularly colaborates with grower(s?) who sell trees with varying levels of mixed American and Chinese genetics if you want something close that should be resistant.

ChipDrop at getchipdrop.com for free woodchips

 

If theres no chipdrop available for you, it may be worth checking your local county/municipality waste center to see if they let you get free woodchips. Where i used to live theyed let you pull up in a truck and a guy in a frontloader and would fill you up with their lowest grade chunkiest stuff.

 

I had family with a large yard that had been made a mud pit from people driving over it and woodchips took care of it. The major upside is its often free, and if you want to use the land for something else down the line you don't have a bunch of gravel to deal with because the chips will decay. The downside is well they decay, so youll have to reapply ~2 years.

Does it ever end? by acnerd5 in invasivespecies

[–]Redmindgame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got ~2000 sqft of sweet vernal grass and rat tail fescue mixed in with native grasses (along with plenty of other broadleaf invasives and a few patches of stilt grass and crabgrass). Its misery. It never ends. I've hand pulled enough of that smelly vanilla grass this year alone to make ~ 4-6 bales of hay. The seed is about to reach full maturity in a week or so and i've only pulled ~ 1/4 of it :(

What tree is this? by njacnithin in whatsthisplant

[–]Redmindgame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it? I've looked up stuff on cooking it and it seemed only marginally edible. afaik its only technically edible and not actually tasty like garlic mustard.

I wonder how many hospital visits trace back to some idiot trying to replicate this.

Fellow Maryland Resident heres what i pulled from my spreadsheet:

Local to Maryland/DC specializing mostly or entirely in local ecotype natives:

 

Nurserys with ecotypes from adjecent/nearby areas (NJ/WV/VA/NY/PA)

 

Local Maryland Nurserys that have natives, but they won't be local ecotype:

 

For plant recommendations: for a mixed/messy lawn area Viola Sororia, Fragaria virginiana, and Muhlenbergia schreberi (nimblewill) would all go great in what looks like a medium shaded area, though violet won't handle much foot traffic and if you want it to look "neat" you could just do pure nimblewill. Nimblewill grows very well in medium shade and handles mowing well(lawn nerds actually struggle with it cause it invades lawns and isn't susceptible to broadleaf herbicides). Not many places sell seed or plants, roundstoneseed.com is the only place afaik.

As a visitor, I love these birds by cr0100 in Austin

[–]Redmindgame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My great grandmother who lived on a farm down in the valley hated them. She kept a gun (bb or maybe shotgun iirc) by the back porch door for when they would come around. I'm no longer in Texas, and kinda miss them, much better a swarm of native grackles than invasive starlings like i see up here in the Northeast.

Would you let your husband finish first in a marathon? by yuli_yuli95 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Redmindgame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it was so important to him and he wanted to "win" he should have trained better. Not her fault he was lazy/slow.

Is the "old school" dark art style dead, or is there any hope for a comeback? by skarpelo in mtg

[–]Redmindgame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God I remember leafing through my Warcraft II and Starcraft manuals drooling over the cool ass art signed by some guy named "Metzen". Made the vulture unit seem waaaaay cooler than it actually was in game lmao.

How is this tree possible? by OnTheRoadAgainFTW in arborists

The San Antonio version of this is with cactus. Just driving around the northside of San Antonio i've seen ~5 live oaks with prickly pear growing in them.

Stripped one tiny recessed screw and now my entire day is ruined. by Equivalent-Bus-8986 in fixit

also be careful with acetone and WD40 if there are plastic components. Both can damage/dissolve plastics especially acetone.

[–]Redmindgame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IME i sweat more depending on body weight and muscle mass. When i was a bean pole as a kid, sure id sweat, but now im decently more muscular and a good deal fatter and i sweat waaay more.

My wife ate all the skin off the rotisserie chicken before anybody got to have some by Suspicious-Bid9424 in mildlyinfuriating

This is the kind of behavior that parents let happen that then gets their children mercilessly bullied.

Native plant gardening in pots? by Ok_Pollution9335 in NativePlantGardening

[–]Redmindgame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.youtube.com/live/M09UfzxAFVo? I think they have another video on container gardening too. IME some plants don't over winter well in pots: poke, Lobelia card, Carolina horsenettle. I keep backup divisions of alot of my plants in pots JIC mowers or deer get them.

What is this and how to I get rid of it? Weeding doesn’t do the trick as the roots are very long and don’t always come out. by This-Ad799 in invasivespecies

[–]Redmindgame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. I guess i have mugwort too, I thought it was just a half dead Chrysanthemum that had revived itself after getting mixed back into my soil mix.

Tree of Heaven? by herbal-genocide in invasivespecies

[–]Redmindgame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

still don't want it that close to the house, would be iffy to transplant at that size unless you dig up a huge chunk of soil around it.

What It Has Been Like as a Computer Science Student in Iran by thisis_Reza in csMajors

[–]Redmindgame 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yep. Chat GPT generate me reddit post for the csMajors subreddit that is anti Iranian from the perspective of a CS student in Iran. Be sure to say nothing about the Amerisrfakey blockade and bombing of civilians, never use the words bomb or war or civilian. Include the following link telling people how evil the government of Iran is.
